Chapter 256 Don’t Get Close To Him

Hannah cleared her throat and replied honestly, “Whenever you weren’t online, you’d always say you were sick. Three years ago, you even told me you couldn’t mentor me anymore because of your health, and said I should just study on my own.”

“After that, you’d only show up maybe once a year. I seriously thought you were on your last legs,” she added.

Spencer was speechless.

He said, “I only said I was sick because I was busy and didn’t have time to come online. As for three years ago, I stopped teaching you because you were already doing great. You didn’t need me hovering over you anymore.”

Plus, back then he’d just joined the Scepter House, and was totally swamped. The Master kept sending him out to remote places for missions, where there wasn’t even a signal. How was he supposed to come online?

But all that was top secret, so he couldn’t say a word about it.

He waved his hand and said, “Forget it. Honestly, I thought you were just a total nobody, always pestering me to take you on as my mentee.

“If you hadn’t shown some real talent and picked things up so fast, I never would’ve agreed. Truth is, we were pretty much on the same level back then.”

Hannah just stared at him, lost for words.

Spencer added, “If I’d known you were actually gorgeous, I never would’ve made those last two out of the three rules.”

No digging into each other’s personal info.

No meeting up in real life.

“If this were one of those webnovels, we’d be the classic mentor mentee couple. I don’t care about all your messy exes, just stick with me from now on,” he continued, half-joking.

Hannah gave him a speechless stare. If he hadn’t mentioned things only the two of them could know, she’d seriously doubt this cocky, shameless guy was really Shadow.

Back when they were just online, Shadow was always so cold and distant… Well, except for that line he always said, “Don’t get too attached to my kindness. I’m just a legend.”

“Once a mentor, always a mentor. I’ll look out for you, but romance? Sorry, that’s not happening,” Hannah replied firmly. “Tsk, you’re hopeless,” Spencer muttered.

He didn’t push the topic any further and switched gears. “So, what are you doing here, risking your neck like this?”

“I came to find someone,” Hannah replied honestly.

“Who?” Spencer asked.

“Vulcan,” Hannah answered.

Spencer scowled. “What do you want with him?” he asked.

“I need him to help me recover some data,” Hannah said.

If Raven couldn’t crack it, there’s basically no hope.

But Spencer still asked, “Why not come to me?”

“You made that rule yourself. No meeting up,” Hannah reminded him dryly.

“Rule number three ‘no meeting up’ is officially canceled!” Spender declared right away.

Hannah just said, “Oh.”

‘Fine, you’re the mentor. Whatever you say,’ she thought.

“Hand it over, I’ll take a look,” Spencer said, heading over to the office desk and sitting down.

Hannah hesitated, staying put. After all, he’d told her not to dig to the Thole family anymore.

Seeing her pause, Spencer didn’t push. “If it’s not urgent, how about coming with me to meet the deputy director of the Space Agency? He wants to meet you.”

If Hannah joined the National Space Agency, she’d be under the state’s protection. Those Veridian guys lurking outside wouldn’t be so bold anymore.

Hannah didn’t refuse. She nodded and followe

As soon as they stepped out of the office, Hannah spotted Barby coming their way. Her heart skipped a beat

‘Seriously? What are the odds? So the dinner he mentioned is actually happening right here?’ she thought, a little flustered. When Barnaby saw Hannah, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. Unlike his usual cool, distant vibe,
