Irvin lifted his chin proudly. Although he was happy, he didn’t let it show. “Just tell me what you want me to do, Mommy.”
“Good boy. I have a computer virus that even your Godfather can’t deal with. I was thinking of letting you break the code. Are you interested?” Elise turned the computer to let Irvin have a look.
Immediately, Irvin came closer to inspect the code.
After some time, he frowned and said, “Mommy, you are asking me to break a code that is Godfather’s level. Don’t you think it is…”
“It is kind of hard, but I will help you,” Elise replied.
“No.” Irvin straightened his back. “What I meant is that this is too easy for me. With Godfather’s brain, I can simply write a code to perplex him.”
Hearing his words, she couldn’t smile but laughed.
Fortunately, Jamie isn’t here. Otherwise, he would be mad.
“Irvin, think of it as a task. How long will it take for you to complete it?”
After pondering for a moment, he replied, “I’ll get it done by tomorrow morning.”
Hearing his words, Elise recalled the match’s time and nodded. “Okay, just in time.”
“What?” Irvin asked with a confused look.
Since she didn’t want to expose herself now, she quickly changed the subject and said, “It’s nothing. Irvin, let me make you something to eat. Any cravings?”
Breaking a code was similar to writing one, it would drain a person physically and mentally. Hence, she would be the supporter since she had asked Irvin to do the work.
“I don’t want to eat anything.” Irvin closed the laptop and hugged it as he returned to his room.
While walking back to his room, he waved his hand and said, “Don’t call me before I have done my work.”
His figure was cute and cool at the same time. Looking at him, Elise felt happy.
He looks like a little grown-up when he has business to do…
Thinking about it, she replied in a chirpy tone, “Got it.”
**
Westdam Red Light District was the most chaotic area in Wegas. The streets were dirty, and drunkards could be seen lying everywhere. Moreover, one could see people having s*x in public, throwing up while hugging the pole, and some mafia gang fighting in the dark alley.
At that moment, a flashy Mercedes-Benz appeared in the streets. Its rich look and cleanliness immediately attracted much attention. Then, the car stopped in front of the most bustling bar.
When the car door was open, Alicia walked out of the door while carrying a flashy designer bag.
When she closed the door, she entered the bar with a defensive stance. As she entered the bar, the bright lights and blaring music caused her to close her eyes and cover her ears. After some time, she slowly adapted to her surroundings.
When Alicia, a woman who didn‘t belong in the red-light district, entered the bar, many eyes were on her. However, she didn’t seem to notice and looked around cluelessly.
When she spotted whom she was looking for, she immediately walked to a bearded man by the counter.
“Hello,” Alicia called out, but the man didn’t hear her since it was too noisy.
In another attempt to gain his attention, she yelled, “Hello!”
At that moment, not only did the bearded man turn around and look at her, but those who noticed her also turned their gazes toward her. Then, Alice understood how to communicate here.
I guess I have to shout to talk to others…
“Are you Black Dog?”
