Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 795

Chapter 795 I Lost

“Of course, I know that, but we can pay double the price to get them to work for us. Cosmos, can you stop boosting our opponent's ego for once?” Mike said.

Cosmos fixed him with a stare and retorted, “If you can offer double the price, why do you think the other party won't do the same to keep them? I'm not boosting our opponent's ego; I'm telling you that even though we often work with computers, we have our own boundaries and emotions. For example, if someone offered me money to work for them, would I just leave?”

Mike was stumped.

He does have a point.

“Hacking is a sacred and liberal profession. Although many of us often do it for money, not everyone is motivated by money, especially people like Shadow Seeker and Anonymous, who are top-tier hackers,” Cosmos continued.

Mike furrowed his brows after listening to Cosmos. He was not an obstinate person, per se. He pursed his lips and conceded, “I suppose you're right. I shouldn't have commented much as an outsider.”

Cosmos said nothing further after Mike admitted his mistakes.

Kenneth, who had been listening, felt a sense of pride, although his impassive expression gave little to nothing away.

Others might not have noticed the subtle change in Kenneth's expression, but Dave caught onto it and whispered, “Stop it. If you keep going, someone is going to be so smug.”

Still oblivious, Mike asked, “Who?”

Right then, Dave's phone rang. He took a look at the number and distanced himself from the others to take the call. “Hello...” He frowned after listening to the other person on the line. “Find him! We have to find him before he notices!”

After hanging up the call, he returned and said to Natasha, “They're already there, but the location is somewhat remote, and the pinned location might be slightly off. It might take some time to pinpoint the exact location.”

Hearing this, Natasha looked at the person on the computer screen and solemnly said, “Understood.”

“How much longer can we delay?” Dave asked.

“Well, that depends on how vigilant he is,” Natasha replied.

Dave frowned.

Right then, the opponent asked: Are you stalling me?

Judging from their conversation, he could figure out something didn't quite add up.

“He's realized it!” Natasha said.

Dave then replied, “Just try your best. Whether or not we can catch him depends on our luck.”

Natasha looked at the computer screen, and her expression turned grim. “There is still one more chance. I shall get serious now, but I hope he can hold on to what's coming.”

Dave nodded. “Thanks for your hard work.”

A glint flickered across Natasha's eyes, and she increased her speed.

Cosmos was drawn to her actions, which were fast and fierce, and he was stunned.

Hasn't she been serious before?

He regarded her rapid movements intently, especially when it appeared that her opponent had essentially been driven into a corner.

“Incredible! Absolutely brilliant!” Cosmos exclaimed.

Mike couldn't understand Natasha's moves at all. However, he couldn't help but ask when he noticed Cosmos' reaction. “Why? What's happening?”

“Shh! Be quiet!”

Mike went silent, fearing that he would disturb Natasha.

“This is fantastic! You're so brilliant!” Cosmos couldn't help but exclaim in wonder as he watched the screen.

Mike was stumped.

Didn't he just tell me to shut up? Now he's the one making the most noise.

Mike said nothing. After all, the only thing that he could understand was Cosmos' reaction. It was apparent from the latter's excitement that Natasha was doing really well.

“Faster, faster! Hmm? Why's there no follow-up move anymore?” Cosmos wondered out loud. However, he was soon amazed by Natasha's yet another unexpected move. “What? How is that possible?”

Did my eyes play a trick on me?

Cosmos edged himself closer to the screen.

Natasha's opponent was taken aback by her sudden attack at breakneck speed and messaged: Who on earth are you?

Natasha replied: Didn't I tell you that I'm your doom?

Her opponent became flustered and launched more frequent attacks, but Natasha retaliated without mercy.

At first, they appeared to be at a stalemate. However, Natasha began to stop playing by the rules, crippling the opponent's defense with every move.

Cosmos was in awe of Natasha's incredible skills.

He looked toward the desk, and there happened to be a pen and a notebook on it. He began to jot down his observations as he watched the movements on the screen.

Others frowned in response.

After a few bouts of exchange, Natasha's opponent finally realized that he was being fooled and texted: You could have won directly. Why did you take the longer route? Are you trying to show off?

Natasha: I don't have any intention to show off. I just want you to lose miserably.

Hacker: What do you mean?

Natasha: It was a request by the child sitting next to me.

Cosmos' youthful face beamed with delight. He didn't mind Natasha addressing him as a child. In fact, he was feeling the thrill of having been avenged, especially when the other party had provoked him for days on end.

He was glad to see Natasha debase the hacker.

Hacker: Your headquarters' standards really vary, huh?

Natasha: That is some big talk from someone with such an inconsistent performance.

DX Group was Kenneth's turf, after all. She couldn't bear to sit idly by and watch as others humiliate it.

Cosmos knew that Natasha was backing them up, and he felt grateful for her help.

How could I be so disrespectful to such a kindhearted and pretty woman just now? I was being such a prick.

At this moment, Natasha's opponent conceded defeat: I lost.

Natasha raised a brow and replied: You're giving up so soon? It's not even close to the end yet!

Hacker: There is no need to continue. I can already see how it will end.

Natasha: Okay. What about the question that you promised you would answer?

Hacker: The dealings between my boss and me are purely transactional. He pays me to do his bidding.

Natasha: Other than that?

Hacker: We are unrelated otherwise.

Natasha: Okay.

Hacker: About your second request, I can promise you I won't ever attack DX Group again.

Natasha nodded and replied: Great.

Hacker: Now, you can state your third condition.

Just when Natasha was about to type her question, her opponent replied: Did you stall me just now because you've sent someone after me?

Dave immediately took out his phone to check his messages after seeing the opponent's message. However, there was still no update.

The opponent sent another message: It's not that easy to catch me. Just wait. I will definitely come back to look for you again!

Then, the opponent went offline immediately. At the same time, the word “Evil” appeared on the computer screen.
