Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 168

To her dismay, Violeta had beaten her to the chase.

Hence, she had to search the black market herself to find someone suitable.

When she received a message from the other side, Violeta sensed their boldness.

Having one's IP encrypted on the black market meant that a hacker had to break through the black market's protective barrier before uncovering their IP address.

This could lead to Violeta's own location being revealed.

It wasn't impossible to break through, but the danger was significant.

Taking such a risk, exposing her own IP and taking on the black market's firewall for just one deal, was something very few could do without getting caught. It was all danger and no benefit.

Most people with a good head on their shoulders wouldn't attempt it. After all, protecting oneself was vital.

However ...

Violeta happened to love excitement!

'Your test is quite innovative, buddy,' she replied.

From the amateurish test, Violeta deduced that the other person must be a newbie.

Only desperate hackers would resort to such risky tactics!

'Before me, I bet nobody agreed to your test, right?' she teased.

Zelena hesitated, wondering how the other person knew.

Many hackers had approached her before, but they all stopped replying after hearing about her test.

However, she maintained her arrogance, replying, 'You're wrong. Many have tried before, but all failed. My test is strict! If you can't handle it, don't bother wasting my time.'

Hah.

Violeta found this amusing.

The user's arrogant attitude reminded her of someone.

Plus, the ID 'Graplena' made her wonder if it was Zelena.

Intensely curious, and unafraid of anyone on the black market, Violeta replied directly, 'I accept your test. I'll give you an answer in half an hour.'

Then, she left the chat and started typing away on her keyboard.

Cracking the black market firewall was challenging, and she had to be careful not to expose herself.

Twenty minutes later, she successfully infiltrated the encrypted IP network.

After scanning through countless encrypted IPs, she found Graplena's.

Following the search, she located the IP at 17-601, Fairwind Villas, in Arlowand, Hoiten.
