"Why is it impossible?" Chunky retorted. "Leo was just an amateur back then, majoring in economics. The Dark Web even put a massive bounty on his head."
Mr. Yates remembered the incident. It had happened a few years ago.
There were rumors floating around the industry back then. Soon after, international task forces suddenly joined forces and wiped the Dark Web off the map entirely, relegating the digital empire to the history books.
That was exactly why Chunky felt confident bragging about his young boss's legendary feat.
Leo had seen enough of Mr. Yates's capabilities. He shut his laptop. "Mr. Yates, there are very few people who can fight Chunky to a standstill. You are one of them."
Mr. Yates fell silent. He knew that if the battle had dragged on much longer, he wouldn't have stood a chance against Chunky, let alone this brilliant young man sitting across from him.
As they walked out of the restaurant, Mr. Yates turned to Leo. "Do you know why Horizon Technologies is targeting you?"
Leo looked at him, waiting for the answer.
"You threaten them," Mr. Yates said flatly.
Leo let out a soft laugh. "A threat? Sounds like they're thinking too small."
Leo stared off into the distance, staying quiet, but Mr. Yates could clearly see the raw ambition burning in the young man's eyes.
Chunky packed up the laptops and pulled the car around. Before driving off, he looked at Mr. Yates and sighed. "It's a damn shame to let skills like yours go to waste."
Leo gave Mr. Yates a firm nod. "Golden Top will always have a spot waiting for you."
With that, Leo got into the car, and they drove off.
In the passenger seat, Leo glanced at his phone, reading the barrage of creative insults his two female relatives were texting him. They hadn't repeated a single word, practically exhausting their brain cells just to chew him out.
"Leo, should we push a little harder for that guy?" Chunky asked, eager to recruit him. "He's the real deal."
