A few days later in K city Ellinor hopped on an early flight to K city to attend a hacker conference taking place there Now that she no longer needed to dodge Theo on purpose, she was free to use public transportation Coincidentally, Ida Gipson was also in K city for some business and had arran for a car to pick her up at the airport Ellinor didnât plan to stay in K city for long so she only brought a backpack with her with some daily necessities She strolled towards the airport exit with her hands in her pockets.
âEllinorâ
Suddenly, someone called her name.
Upon hearing it. Ellinor halted and turned towards the voice.
She saw a man in sunglasses striding towards her.
The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a handsome face, âEllinor, itâs really you! What brings you to K city today?â
It was that kid, Byran Howard Ellinor raised an eyebrow, looking at him nonchalantly, and retorted, âIf I remember correctly, isnât it a school day today? Why arenât you in school?â
Byran blinked, âWell, I took a day off from school today!â
Ellinor squinted, âReally? Are you sure you took a leave and are not just playing hooky?â
Byran, not good at lying, scratched his head uncomfortably. âAlright, I skipped school, but I have a reason!â
âWhat reason?â
âI got a message from a hacker friend saying that this yearâs hacker conference is being held today, in K city!â
Ellinor frowned slightly. âSo, youâre also attending the hacker conference? Were you invited?â
Byran shook his head somewhat shamefully. âNo⦠Itâs an international hacker conference, and only the top hackers in the world are invited, Iâm not famous enough to be on the list Ellinor gave him a glance, âHow would you attend without an invitation? Do you know how strict those secret meetings are? Even if you sneak in, if youâre caught, they might kill you to prevent you from leaking member information. You know that, right?â
Byran didnât care, he lifted his chin and said, âAlthough I wasnât invited, my teacher must be on the invitation list! Do you know who my teacher is? One of the top hackers in the world, Snow Bunny! I can say Iâm going to find my teacher and theyâll definitely let me in!â
Ellinor was speechless.
Byran was still too naive and didnât see the complexity of the world.
But the teacher Byran mentioned seemed to be her. Of course, thatâs what he called her unilaterally, she never agreed to it.
Ellinor said bluntly, âAs a student, you should be in school, not attending social events. Now, are you going back on your own, or should I notify Mr. Howard to send someone to pick you up?â
Byran got a little nervous when he heard Ellinor was going to notify Balfour, âEllinor, why are you like this? I knew I shouldnât have told you the truth! Please donât bother my brother, Balfour. Heâs been injured recently and doesnât have time to deal with me. You donât need to interfere with my personal affairs!â
Ellinor looked surprised, she asked, âHmm? Balfour got injured? What happened?
Oh my! Balfour, who seemed invincible, got injured? That was rare.
Byran pouted and explained, âIt happened on my grandpa, old Mr. Bagleyâs birthday, when Theo suddenly attacked my brother Balfour for some reason. My brother, who had never experienced such a thing, fought back angrily, and they started fighting. In the end, my brotherâs arm was broken, and I heard Theo was also injuredâ
Ellinor was taken aback after hearing this.
