Chapter 1041 - A Little Bit Of Love
After drying Little Jun, Jiang Ying Yue carried her son to his colourful bedroom and dressed him in the new pyjama set that Grandpa Lu bought for him. The old man often showered the toddler with presents. Jiang Ying Yue was helpless about it.
It wasn't only Grandpa Lu who bought presents for her son. Almost everyone did. The household staff would sneak treats to Little Jun on a regular basis. It was fortunate that Little Jun inherited her body type and converted most of everything he ate into strength and energy instead of pure fat.
Her son was already starting to display an above average level of strength compared to kids his age. This prompted her to begin teaching him to be gentle as much as possible so as not to hurt anybody including himself. Now that Iris was pregnant and said pregnancy had made her even more delicate, Jiang Ying Yue would always remind her energetic son to take it easy around his Mama Xiulan. So far, Little Jun always listened to her.
Her son was a good child and she was so proud of him. Most importantly, she was also immensely grateful to the many people who loved him.
"Meow!"
Jiang Ying Yue glanced at the slightly open door. Popcorn trotted inside the bedroom and landed on the bed and began playing with Little Jun. It was only about five minutes later that Ice Cream arrived when Little Jun was already fully dressed in his cute and fluffy panda pyjamas. As usual, the fat grey cat huffed and puffed while dragging her round body across the floor before leaping to the bed with a loud thump.
"Popkohn! Ash Kweem!" (Popcorn! Ice Cream!)
Jiang Ying Yue smiled at the three wrestling on the bed. Well, only Little Jun and Popcorn were rolling around while Ice Cream curled on top of a pillow watching the other two with clear annoyance.
After reading them a bedtime story, Little Jun was fast asleep along with his two cat cousins. Jiang Ying Yue carefully extricated herself from her son's embrace. She planned on taking a shower in her own room and returning to her son's room to sleep together with the three cousins. She kissed her son's forehead and headed out, careful to keep quiet as much as possible.
While she was in the hallway, her phone vibrated indicating a call. Her heart leaped after seeing the call display. However, she didn't notice what her heart did. Or more specifically, she pretended not to notice.
She answered the call. "Hello?"
"Good evening."
"Good eveâ," she cleared her throat, "Good evening, Mr. Lin."
"Please call me Yehan. I already told you this before."
"Ah. Y-yes. Mr. Y-yehan...."
There was a soft sigh on the other end of the line but Jiang Ying Yue could almost see the man's gentle smile. "I guess that would suffice for now, Ying Yue."
She felt heat spreading all over her face and neck. She quickly ducked her head, attempting to hide her blushing face from her colleagues patrolling the mansion and any staff walking in the hallways at this time.
"Is that too forward of me?" Lin Yehan asked, his tone as gentle as always.
"Uhm...."
"I guess it is. I apologize. Alright, how about I call you Miss Ying Yue instead to match how you're calling me as Mr. Yehan?"
"Uh...that's okay, I guess."
"Perfect!"
Jiang Ying Yue didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, she didn't need to because Lin Yehan continued speaking.
"Calling each other Mr. Lin and Miss Jiang is too formal and distant. We're considered friends now, aren't we? No, we're actually closer than friendsâ"
Her eyes widened. What did he mean that they were closer than friends?!
"âbecause of Third Brother Liwei and Third Sister-in-law Xiulan, our relationship should be more like somewhere between friends and family. Little Jun also considers me as an uncle."
Oh. So that was what he meant.
She pressed a hand on her chest to calm her suddenly racing heart. What the heck was wrong with her, getting excited for no reason?
'Get a hold of yourself, Ying Yue!'
She cleared her throat and asked, "Mr. LinâI mean Mr. Y-yehan, why did you call me? Is there something that, uhm, I can help you with?"
"Oh, right. I was getting to that but got distracted." He chuckled. "I know it's a bit late alreadyâ"
"No! Not at all!" she said in a hurry. "I mean, uh, it's not late for me. Actually, it's still early. You're not disturbing me or anything like that...uhm, so yeah...."
'Stop babbling and embarrassing yourself, Ying Yue!" she scolded herself.
"I see. It's good that I'm not disturbing you." She heard Lin Yehan take a few breaths before telling her, "I called because...." He paused and sighed.
His obvious hesitation made her nervous. This time, she didn't babble out of nervousness and stayed silent to wait for what he had to say.
"Miss Ying Yue, what I'm about to say might upset you but I believe that it's your right to know. That's why I called even at this hour."
She continued to wait in silence.
Finally, he told her the reason. "The defamation lawsuit that I filed against Long Hui has now been assigned a date for its first court hearing. It's next week. I'll send you the details if you're interested."
Jiang Ying Yue froze upon hearing her ex's name.
"I heard that President Long Tengfei sent Long Hui far away in a remote place but the hearing will still continue even without his presence. I just want to let you know that I intend to pursue this lawsuit no matter what because I find what he did not only to me but most importantly to you extremely unacceptable."
The memories of the character assassination that Long Hui did to both her and Lin Yehan in public flooded her mind. Tears sprang in her eyes but she forced them back, not allowing them to fall. She already cried so much because of Long Hui. Too much. The man didn't deserve any more of her tears.
Her silence must have made Lin Yehan assume that she still had misgivings about the lawsuit against Long Hui. "I'm really sorry if this is upsetting you. It's understandable given that he's the father of your child but...." He sighed again. "I need to be honest with you about my stance in this case. I can't forgive what he did to you...to both of us. No, it wasn't only the two of us who were dragged through the mud so publicly. As he's both your child, Little Jun will always be involved in this mess no matter how hard we protect him. The attacks on Third Sister-in-law Xiulan and Third Brother Liwei have also been very vicious because they have obviously taken your side since the beginning instead of Long Hui who's Xiulan's blood brother."
"I know." Her voice was a whisper.
Lin Yehan waited for her to say more but she didn't.
"So what I wanted to say is," he said after the moment of silence, "I'm not going to withdraw this lawsuit even if youâ"
"Go ahead."
"âask me toâhuh?"
"I said go ahead, Lin Yehan." Determination flashed in her eyes. Her posture also became straighter even as she gripped her phone tighter. It was a good thing that her phone was provided by Iris and it was virtually indestructible. If not, it would already have been cracked and damaged by her pure strength alone.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Alright, Jiang Ying Yue." He sounded happy as he followed her example and called her full name after she called his full name. Although it was still obviously more formal than just calling Ying Yue and Yehan, at least the formal addresses Mr. and Miss were dropped, creating more closeness between them.
Jiang Ying Yue didn't notice any of this because she was too preoccupied battling her complicated emotions. No matter how hard she tried to brainwash herself to stop loving Long Hui, she couldn't deny that there was still a little bit of love left for him.
But that was about it.
A little bit of love.
Long Hui already killed most of the love she had for him with all the hurt he had caused her.
"Lin Yehan."
"Yes, Jiang Ying Yue?"
"Please keep me posted about the lawsuit."
"Of course."
They didn't keep talking for too long after this.
"Good night, Jiang Ying Yue."
"Good night, Lin Yehan."
The call ended.
It was only then that she realized the change in how they addressed each other. Shyness swept away all the negative emotions roiling inside her. Heat spread on her face and neck again. She knew that she was red as a tomato right now.

Chapter 1042 - Old And New
Cross Academy.
A violent snowstorm was ravaging the huge section of the Swiss Alps that the academy owned. An extreme weather alert ordered everyone at the academy to stay at home. This was quite a regular occurrence in the area especially during the official winter season so nobody panicked even though the storm was extremely dangerous.
Most of the residents stayed at home but there were some people whose duty was to ensure the safety of Cross Academy 24/7 no matter the danger. Some of these loyal, duty-bound individuals included specially selected members of the Computer Department who were in charge of the academy's surveillance and online security system.
Cross Academy was a powerhouse in its own right with resources comparable to a small developed country. Its economic and diplomatic might was as equally legendary as its reputation for producing the best geniuses among geniuses in the world. Rumour had it that the academy had its own secret military and a stash of advanced weaponry but no definite confirmation or denial had been released as of this moment.
Given its undeniable power and wealth, not to mention the countless secrets it continued to safeguard for more than two centuries since the legendary founder Professor Galaxianne Arria von Cross, it was not surprising that Cross Academy was a tempting target to many who wanted to snatch its immeasurable richness.
A specialized unit of the Computer Department was assigned to defend the academy from any online attacks to the surveillance and online security system, ranging from simple pranks to full-on malicious assaults
Ever since a beloved alumnus of the Computer department named Evelina Vetrova, known in the hacker world as the legendary Fantom, changed the entire system to that of her own design, Cross Academy never suffered any serious breaches ever again.
Even when Evelina had been reported as killed in the bloody Vetrov annihilation years ago, the Computer Department continued to use the system she designed when she was still a student, making improvements as necessary to keep up with the times. It wasn't because the department head wanted to honour the memory of his favourite student by stubbornly using the system she designed for the academy, although that was also a part of it.
The real reason that they continued using Evelina's system for that long was because there was no one else who could design a better system than hers. It was as simple as that.
Imagine the department head's delight when a newly enrolled student appeared and learned that she was a disciple of his late student, making Iris Long his grand-student.
Iris Long was as brilliant and talented with computers as Evelina Vetrova. It didn't matter that she wasn't enrolled in the Computer Department. The department head still regarded the young woman as an important honourary member of his Computer Department.
There was a sense of bittersweet nostalgic pride whenever he admired Iris Long's exploits as the rising star Drakon and compared it to the late Evelina Vetrova's legendary feats as Fantom.
The department head once again felt nostalgic as he watched the new security system that Iris Long designed fight off the usual wave of malicious hackers. She designed and presented it when she stayed in the academy last year.
Although the department head felt a little reluctant to part with Evelina's old system, he couldn't possibly reject Iris' new system when it was obvious that it was better in every single way. It was approved as Cross Academy's new surveillance and online security system within a day.
The new system was even more aggressive to attackers than the old one. To the department head, this was proof that Iris Long, a.k.a. Drakon, was a completely different person than his favourite student Evelina Vetrova, a.k.a. Fantom.
Although Fantom cemented herself as a legendary figure in the hacker world for many years, she was never known for aggressiveness.
In fact, the name Fantom wasn't decided by herself but by the hacker community after noticing her odd modus operandi of hacking in the toughest systems in the world for the strangest reason of simply entertaining herself and leaving undetected until someone discovered her traces by accident. Another odd quirk of hers was leaving entertaining review-like messages such as "a page-turner, terrific suspense but lacking in comedic factor" on highly classified files stored in places like The Pentagon, for example.
This modus operandi was definitely odd among so many hackers who craved attention and recognition for their feats. Neither money nor status moved Fantom. She simply operated within her own set of rules that nobody even until now ever really understood.
Instead of being aggressive, she was actually quite passive, not initiating any destructive attacks without being provoked or triggered first in some way. In addition to her odd modus operandi, these traits earned her the moniker of Phantom because she operated like a mysterious phantom.
She later accepted the name but changed the spelling into Fantom and had officially used it ever since up until what the hacker world called her "mysterious disappearance".
The department head couldn't help but sigh in admiration as Iris Long's security system once again destroyed the attackers rather brutally and even successfully locked on to their real geolocation.
Not only that. It also started gathering basic background information about the attackers which the Computer department could pursue and use to punish them according to Cross Academy's policies.
The most diabolical feature of Iris Long's system, however, was that once it discovered the identity of an attacker, it would automatically trace the hacker's bank accountsâboth registered and illegal onesâand then freeze the funds inside them.
Then it would prompt the staff in the Computer Department on what to do with those funds. If the money was obtained through illegal or vicious means, then it would suggest returning the stolen funds to their original owners, or if the original owners couldn't be found, then "donated" to various charities.
Although there were a lot of similarities on how Evelina and Iris operated, the department head had already long concluded that it was only natural given the women's master-disciple relationship. To him, it was clear as day that the two women had completely different styles.
The attack tonight was routine. Nothing too exciting. There was no human intervention needed at all. The security system could handle it by itself.

Chapter 1043 - Not A Ghost, A Phantom
After the security system dealt with the hackers, there was once again peace and quiet in the Computer Department but it didn't last long. Iris Long's security system suddenly started acting weird. Then a pop-up message appeared on all of the department's computer screens.
"Initiating Power Flood...."
The staff members were alarmed.
"What's happening?! Is there another attack?"
"Is this a virus? Did we get breached?"
"What the heck is a power flood?!"
They attempted to control the situation but to no avail. They had no idea at all of what was happening.
The department head was about to alert Headmaster Dupont of the situation when another message popped up on their screens.
"Please don't be alarmed. I mean no harm. I just want to borrow power from Cross Academy. Please let the headmaster know that I'll compensate the academy at a later date. Thanks. Sincerely, Drakon."
Everyone in the unit knew Drakon. After all, the surveillance and security system that they had been using since last year had been designed by her. Even though not all of them knew that she was the disciple of the legendary hacker, Fantom, everyone in the department admired and respected her skills especially the department head.
"So it's you," the department head sighed while shaking his head. He might sound annoyed but the small, amused curl of his mouth showed that he was already accepting the current situation.
Then the lights started flickering.
"Whoa! Ghost?!"
"Mama!"
"Shut up. It's just Drakon."
"Drakon is a ghost?!"
"I want my Mama! Too scary!"
"Hahaha! Your mama will beat you up for acting like a grown-ass chicken."
Laughter filled the room even as the lights continued flickering like a scene out of a horror movie. Now that they knew who was causing the anomaly, all of them relaxed and took the opportunity to entertain themselves with what was happening.
The department head joined them, chuckling but murmured, "Not a ghost, a phantom."
Nobody heard his soft voice amidst the laughter, however.
He looked up at the flickering lights and began to understand a bit of what power flood meant. "You greedy child. The headmaster, that wily old man, will surely attempt to squeeze you dry when he demands the compensation you promised. Just like what happened last year. Tsk tsk."
He was talking about what happened last year when Iris had to fulfill ten hacking jobs for the academy as punishment for fighting with Amanpio Kileksy on campus grounds. During that time, Amanpio insulted Jin Liwei in front of Iris, causing her to lose her temper and hit the inventor. It caused a ruckus, prompting the strict headmaster, Professor Erwan Dupont, to punish both Iris and Amanpio.
Amanpio had his monthly funds slashed to one-fourth than usual while Iris had to accept ten hacking requests from the academy. She had no choice but to fulfill all tenânothing more, nothing lessâwithout pay whether she liked it or not. The majority of the jobs were complicated but she still completed all of them without any complaints.
The Computer Department was in charge of hacking-related tasks for the academy so the department head was aware of Iris' punishment. In fact, the jobs given to her actually originated from him.
He selected some of the most difficult tasks for Iris, not so much because the Computer Department was busy with other tasks and needed an extra hand but mainly because he wanted to estimate the extent of her skills. And she didn't disappoint.
She was indeed the legendary Fantom's disciple.
Absolutely brilliant, talented and skilled.
However, just like with Fantom, he still couldn't determine the true limit of Drakon's abilities.
"Perhaps Fantom and Drakon have no limits," he murmured.
The lights stopped flickering when the academy's own private electrical grid poured more power to refill the energy that was quickly being sucked out. The grid's system was powerful and automatic, ensuring a continuous supply of electricity throughout the entire Cross Academy's properties in the Swiss Alps.
There was a saying among everyone at the academy that even if the rest of the world was thrown in a blackout, Cross Academy would always have light due to its hi-tech yet sustainable electrical grid system. There was nothing like it in the world. An alumni developed it exclusively for Cross Academy decades ago. Of course, the academy continued to modernize the grid since then.
And right now, this one-of-a-kind electrical grid was being sucked out of an enormous amount of power. If it were any other culprit, the academy would never take this lying down. But the culprit this time was none other than Cross Academy's own student, Iris Long, a.k.a. Drakon.
They couldn't possibly call her a thief when she asked for permission, could they?
No, that wasn't accurate. She didn't exactly "ask" for permission but "informed" them instead while she was already redirecting what looked like an astronomical amount of power.
The department head was currently talking with Professor Dupont on the phone. Long story short, the headmaster instructed him and the entire Computer Department to allow Iris Long to do whatever she wanted this time. In fact, he even told them to be ready to assist her if she needed any help.
"Miss Long has spent the least amount of academy funds and resources among the enrolled students so far this year," Professor Erwan Dupont said. "Letting her use this much power should not be a problem. Our academy can afford it." Then he added, "But we'll still accept her offer of compensation."
The department head agreed, but deep inside, he was sighing at the headmaster's nonchalance. Seeing the rate of the academy's power being drained, he estimated that it should be an equivalent of a developed country like America's power consumption in a whole week, perhaps more.
Imagine a week of power being spent in mere minutes.
Even a country like America wouldn't be able to handle this kind of fast and intense power drainage. A normal electrical grid would surely collapse. Fortunately, Cross Academy didn't have this problem. Like what Professor Dupont said, the academy could afford it.
After the phone call with the headmaster, the department head instructed the others to analyze how the power flood worked before they asked Iris Long for clarification. Excitement filled them as they went to work learning from Drakon's performance, the hotshot hacker who was younger than all of them.

Chapter 1044 - Gotcha
"Damn you, Drakon!!!"
A loud crash punctuated the almost deafening roar inside the large room. Everything was silent and dark, except for the furious breathing of the leader.
It was a blackout.
His teammates, no, his brothers didn't react to his outburst at all because they were all busy dealing with their own emotions. Most of them looked shocked as if they had just seen a frightening ghost and it traumatized them. A couple looked despondent, slumping on their seats or on the floor like there was no hope for tomorrow.
When their eyes began to adjust to the darkness, one of them finally spoke after the long, uncomfortable silence. "Drakon and his two disciples fried all our computers. Dammit! Nasty fellows, that's what they are!"
His words prompted the others to speak as well.
"Fuck! Drakon and his two little shits WhiteTigress and BlackPanther can all go to fucking hell! I'm keeping a tab on all our computers that they fried. I swear that I'll surely make them pay one day! With interest!"
"Shit! Even my phone is fried!"
They all checked their phones in a hurry. Soon, angry curses filled the dark room one after another. All of their phones were in the same pitiful situation.
The leader also checked his phones. All of them were dead except for one. "This works."
"Really? How come your phone is safe?"
"Wait. That's the phone that Master El Payaso gave you!"
The leader nodded. He already calmed down after his earlier outburst. He used the phone's flashlight to light up the messy room. A couple of his brothers opened the curtains to let in the streetlights from outside to add an additional dim illumination to the room.
"Master is awesome as always," one of his brothers commented, immediately lifting the defeated atmosphere. "Even Drakon can't touch the phone he provided."
"Isn't that obvious? Master is the bestâone of the best hackers in the world." This person quickly corrected himself upon seeing their leader's cold expression.
Their leader always reacted negatively whenever they claimed that someone other than the legendary Fantom was the best hacker in the world even if it was their own master, El Payaso.
"True. Any device that had been personally customized by our master is almost always immune to other hackers' attacks."
"Fantom would've breached this," the leader murmured while twirling the phone in his hand.
Nobody commented, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with him. He didn't mind.
"I guess Drakon and his two disciples aren't in the same level as Fantom yet, no?" He smirked, displaying the dashing dimples on both his cheeks. It was as if his furious outburst earlier didn't happen by looking at his current charming appearance.
Then he pursed his lips while looking at the computers scattered in the messy room. They could try to repair them in order to recover the data from tonight's hacking battle which was very important in analyzing their performance and learning from their mistakes, and at the same time, planning a better strategy on how to finally defeat Drakon and his two disciples, WhiteTigress and BlackPanther. The three had long become not only annoying thorns in their butts but also an obsession as they now viewed Drakon's team as a formidable rival that they must defeat no matter what.
Some of his brothers were already beginning to dissemble the computers to examine the extent of the damage but his guts told him that all the devices were dead. Drakon's team short-circuited them with the forced blackout and killed them beyond repair.
He stood in front of the windows and glanced outside. The office building in front of the hotel that they were staying was a few storeys lower but it was bright. He looked around and discovered that the whole row of buildings in their side of the street was covered in darkness because of the blackout while the surrounding buildings were operating like normal. The contrast was jarring and only highlighted their team's defeat tonight.
"Do you really think that Drakon did all this?" a brother asked beside him who was also looking at the sight outside.
He murmured his assent.
"But maybe he and his two little shits just got lucky," the brother muttered.
He chuckled. "You really think that, my brother?"
His brother didn't reply.
He continued to chuckle. "One thing that I learned from constantly battling Drakon is that everything he does has purpose."
"I think you're overestimating him too much."
"And I think you're underestimating him too much."
The two stared at each other but the other man was the first one to retract his eyes, avoiding the leader's eyes.
The leader patted his brother's shoulder and leaned closer to whisper directly to his ear. "We have never won a single battle against Drakon yet, my brother. Don't you think that's telling something, no?"
"Yeah...I guess."
"I suggest that you change 'I guess' to 'I know', my brother. Although battling Drakon is extremely fun, we are not here to play. You remember that we are here to complete an important mission, yes?"
"Of course. Sorry about that, brother. I understand now. I won't underestimate Drakon and his two disciples again."
The leader patted his brother's shoulder again before letting him go. He continued to observe the bright buildings outside in contrast to the darkness in their side of the street. His eyes narrowed but the corners of his mouth were already beginning to curl up.
"Fufufu. As expected of Drakon. You never disappoint me."
Then the phone he was holding began ringing all of a sudden. Everyone stopped what they were doing and whipped their heads to look at him, specifically at the phone in his hand.
This was a special phone and only one person could contact it. Thinking that it was that person, he answered it without delay. Before he could even say hello, however, a child's voice spoke from the other end of the line, completely catching him off-guard.
"Gotcha! Hihihi. Meow~"
His eyes contracted.
"Oopsie daisy, wrong sound! I'm supposed to be a tigress. Here it goes. 1, 2, 3...ROOOOAAAAARRRR!!!!!"
He almost dropped the phone when the loud beast sound assaulted his unprotected ear.
Then the call ended.

Chapter 1045 - Surpassed Initial Impressions
Before anyone could react, the phone started ringing again. The leader stared at it but didn't answer.
It answered by itself.
"Why aren't you answering?"
"Master." He was relieved upon hearing the familiar deep, robotic voice that disguised their master's real voice.
"Get out of there. Now."
"I know." He signalled with his eyes and everyone moved fast, shoving their most important things inside worn-out rucksacks and duffel bags. He was also moving while staying on the line with their master.
It was a pity that they couldn't take every single one of the dead computers with them but at least the devices were now all fried. Each had been customized to be untraceable as well. Time was of the essence. The most important thing to do right now was to flee.
"I got an alert notifying me that the phone I gave you got breached," Master El Payaso said as they hurried down the fire escape staircase.
There was a small group of other hotel clients also using the staircase but his brothers ahead of him quickly hit the back of their necks. The unsuspecting people fell unconscious before they could see their appearance and identified them as an unusual group of foreigners.
Nobody wasted their breaths with any unnecessary talking. Even the leader and their master didn't continue talking on the phone. They were all focused on fleeing.
They ran out of the hotel, dodging the sight of any passersby with great expertise. Then they hopped inside vehicles waiting a few blocks away. They would always prearrange getaway vehicles like these during missions just in case of emergencies.
The drivers were mainland natives. The group didn't recognize any of the drivers at all but they knew that these natives were their organization's people planted in the country in advance to assist missions.
It took two large vans to fit all of them. The two vans split upon reaching the highway. One van headed to a nearby safe house secretly owned by the organization using a native's identity while the other headed in another direction.
About half an hour later, the other van drove to an underground parking lot. The leader and half of his brothers changed vehicles. In contrast to the nondescript getaway van that they just used, they hopped into three, flashy luxury sports cars this time. They also quickly changed their clothes which were packed inside the sports cars.
The leader drove the first sports car with a brother sitting shotgun beside him while another brother squeezed into the small, narrow seat behind them. The two other sports cars followed them before they all beeped their horns to the van driver who helped them flee. Then they left the underground parking lot.
All of them maintained their silence during the entire drive. The phone call with their master was still active but nobody spoke.
They finally arrived at the five-star hotel that they had been staying. Three valets immediately welcomed them and took their car keys before they entered inside. The hotel employees were already familiar with their group and gave them a warm welcome. After all, the leader was checked in at the hotel's most expensive suite where world-class celebrities and even other nations' leaders would stay. The other brothers' suites were also the next expensive after the best suite. In addition, the group had been living in the hotel for some time now and had grown quite familiar and friendly with the employees.
The brothersâtheir numbers cut in half after the others went to the safe house instead of returning with them to the hotelâall headed straight to the leader's luxurious suite. Once inside, the smiles that they wore while responding to the hotel employees' greetings disappeared from their faces.
"Master," the leader spoke as he walked straight to bar fridge for beer. He tossed his brothers a bottle each before opening one for himself.
"You're back at your hotel." It wasn't a question but a statement. Their master knew exactly where they were due to the phone. "I already blocked Drakon and he wouldn't be able to breach this phone and attempt to pinpoint your location again. Be more cautious next time, child."
The leader gritted his teeth at being called "child" but he still looked like he was smiling with two dimples showing on both cheeks. "I understand, Master. This won't happen again."
"It better not."
He didn't reply, looking at his beer instead. He hadn't drank it yet. He originally wanted to but now had lost his appetite after their master's gentle reprimand.
Tonight's operation had been entirely under his command. No matter the resultâwhether it was a success or a failureâit would be his responsibility. And now that it was an utter failure, he felt responsible all the more.
Instead of feeling defeated, however, it fired him up even more than before. Battling a formidable opponent like Drakon never failed to stimulate his competitive spirit.
Was this how Master El Payaso felt whenever he battled Fantom years ago?
"So it seems that Drakon is already at this level," he heard their master murmur. It sounded rather chilling with the robotic voice.
His other brothers looked like they were resting while drinking their beers but he knew that they were listening to the phone conversation. Most of them had excellent hearing compared to normal people, hence they could hear the phone conversation, but he still set the call to loudspeaker because their levels weren't all the same. Some had better hearing and senses like him while the others were slightly worse.
"We'll defeat Drakon next time." It was a promise, not only to their master and their organization, but also to themselves.
"Hmmm." The sound was unpleasant with the robotic voice but all of the brothers were already used to it. "Drakon has surpassed my initial impressions. I thought until now that he's only slightly better than you, children, but it seems that...I'm wrong."
All of them straightened their backs, their expressions turning ugly.
The leader spoke carefully but there was an edge in his voice. "So Master, you think that we are inferior to Drakon?"
"What do YOU think?"
"I still think that we can win in a battle against him. Definitely."
"Hmmm."
The brothers looked at each other, not liking their master's ambiguous response. Their pride didn't want to accept the insinuation in that unpleasant robotic sound.

Chapter 1046 - Legacy
Master El Payaso chuckled. His robotic voice sounded particularly grating to the brothers' ears especially at this moment. It was like a fingernail was scratching a blackboard, irritating them to no end, but they couldn't complain because the other party was their respected master.
The leader tightened his hold on the phone. His mouth was smiling but his eyes were flashing with rejection to their master's insinuation that they were inferior to Drakon. He believed that they were only slightly worse than Drakon but they should be able to defeat him after a few more rounds. Their skills were growing fast with every battle against a high quality opponent like Drakon.
"Don't overthink my meaning, children. Drakon and his two disciples might be better than my initial impressions but they should be far below my level."
The others except for the leader relaxed their tense bodies and started nodding their heads in agreement. Indeed, their master was recognized as one of the top hackers in the world and had retained that position for years.
"You are the heirs of a powerful legacy. Not only mine, El Payaso, but also that of our organization. I, your master, am extremely pleased to have such outstanding, talented, skilled and very promising disciples. You are the crème of the crop, the survivors of a harsh selection. You will all certainly have a more brilliant future than Drakon who seems to have nobody of my level backing him besides Jin Corporation. Since Jin Corporation will eventually fall under our control, Drakon will end up becoming a pet without a master. Depending on the situation, Drakon can become our new dog. But if he refuses to wear our leash and submit to us, then he can only become soil fertilizer in the end. Such a pity if that's the case."
Master El Payaso wielded his words like a magician and instantly united his disciples, making them see a beautiful vision of greatness in the future starring themselves, and of course, their organization.
Except the leader.
He stayed silent, not disturbing the hopeful and motivated atmosphere around him. Although he also believed the vision of greatness that his master and their organization had been preaching to them since they were children, he still found himself rejecting it whenever their master declared that they were the heirs of El Payaso's legacy.
Unlike his brothers, he had no interest in inheriting their master's legacy at all. There was another legacy that he wanted. He dreamed about it. Craved it. Unfortunately, that hacker had disappeared for years and hadn't returned since then.
In the hacker world, many were discussing how Drakon's operating tendencies were the closest to Fantom's legendary techniques. Their styles might be different but the techniques were on point.
For someone like him who worshipped Fantom, hearing that another hacker was similar to his most admired person was extremely irritating.
How dare a mere mortal like Drakon imitate a god like Fantom and pretend to have reached the highest hacking heavens? Sacrilege!
He would prove that his skills were better and that he would make himself the true heir of Fantom's legacy, not Drakon who suddenly popped out of nowhere. He had been training to become the best hacker in the world one day since he was barely out of his toddler years. It was basically almost his entire life. If there was someone deserving to inherit a god's legacy, then it should be him, not an arrogant fella like Drakon.
'I want to meet you. I want to see what kind of person you are, Drakon. You are my chosen rival. I will defeat you, crush you under my foot, and stand at the top of the world as the very best hacker. Just like Fantom.'
After Master El Payaso's encouraging speech, he proceeded to give them their next instructions. The atmosphere turned cold and serious in an instant, just like when a commander was giving orders to his soldiers.
Then he addressed the team's leader. "Each of you have an important assignment to fulfill in that country in addition to our organization's grand mission. But child, you already know that you have the most important assignment among you children."
"Yes, Master," the leader replied, trying to ignore the irritation at all of them, grown men, being called children. "Father has already briefed me about it. Once I paved the way here, he will finally come to this country and join me and my brothers so that our grand mission can proceed to the next stage."
"You have to work harder to pave the way. Your father has already completed what countless others deemed to be an impossible mission but he still accomplished it against all odds. Now our organization reigns supreme in the world and we need to keep it that way. He has named you his heir and you have gigantic shoes to fill. Do all of us proud. You are the future of our organization."
"Yes, Master."
"Destroy that phone. I'll send you a new one soon. I prevented Drakon from breaching it again but we can't take another chance. There are still many variables that we aren't sure of yet in that country, that's why we sent you there to deepen and strengthen our organization's roots. It's better to be safe than sorry so change hotels just in case. Is your new house there not ready yet?"
"Not yet, Master. I was told that it's still under renovation but it should be ready before the year ends."
"Fine. Stay in another hotel, then. You need to be flashy, show off your status as your father's son, and let everyone know who you are. Create connections and become influential among the important elites in that country. And of course, you need to get close to Liam Jin, and if you have the chance, meet with Jianhong Lu."
'I already know my own mission,' the leader thought but still replied, "Understood", in a respectful tone. He was already feeling annoyed at their master for talking so much. Too much.
After a few more words of advice, the phone call ended. Finally.
The leader chugged his beer until he was almost out of breath. After excusing himself from his brothers, he headed to his bedroom and started playing his guitar to free himself from any unnecessary thoughts and emotions.

Chapter 1047 - Impossibility Is A Limit
"Mommy, this is super-duper to the highest level hard and tiring but it's also super-duper to the highest level fun! Whoop whoop! I wish we saw that Eagle poopoo-head's expression when I told him 'gotcha' and showed off my mighty roar of justice! Mwahahahaha! Ketchup's cute and mighty self feels so satisfied with my performance. I can't wait to tell Daddy everything! Daddy is surely gonna be super-duper to the highest level proud of Mommy and us kitty babies. Meow!" The fluffy white cat AI was jumping all around in excitement, her green eyes glowing brightly. "Oh Bacon, do you want to hear the cute and mighty Ketchup's awesome roar again? Meow~"
The fluffy black cat AI only gave his older sister an unimpressed side glance. "If it was Bacon, I would've jacked up the volume to the maximum so that those Eagle bastards would turn deaf after roaring at them. Only then would I feel satisfied with my performance."
"Oh! The cute and mighty Ketchup didn't think of that! My little kitty brother is so smart! Smart in a villain way just like Uncle Hao Hao! Bacon, you should share that kind of awesome ideas to your cute and mighty big sister in advance. Meow~"
Then Ketchup suddenly paused and whipped her little fluffy head to her younger brother. "Oh no, Bacon! You said a bad word! Uh-oh! Bacon's gonna get in trouble with Daddy again! Meow~"
The black cat AI turned his head away. "Bacon doesn't know what Big Sister Ketchup is talking about."
"The cute and mighty Ketchup heard Bacon say Eagle 'bastards'! Daddy put that in our bad words list. We kitty babies can't say that or Daddy will ground us. How sad! Meow~"
"Did Bacon say that? I don't remember."
"Meow? Bacon, you naughty, little liar! Uncle Dom, Uncle Lin Lin, you heard Ketchup's little kitty brother say the bad word, right? Meow~"
Jin Chonglin's eyes turned blank upon being asked directly by his weird...fake but acted like a real cat...niece. Argh! He was witnessing such an unbelievable marvel with his own eyes but his brain was too slow to catch up. As a result, he could only stare like a stupid idiot at...she said her name was Ketchup, right? A white cat named Ketchup...dammit! Such a horrible mismatch was messing with his brain even more!
Fortunately, Dom responded, saving poor Jin Chonglin from coming up with a way to respond to all this weirdness.
"Baby Ketchup, how about we let it slide for Baby Bacon for now, okay?" Dom suggested. "Don't you feel sorry for your baby brother that your daddy is always grounding him? And Uncle Dom will be honest with you because honesty is the best policy. I also think that those Eagle people are bastards! Pweh! No, they're worse than bastards! They're vile terrorists for always attacking Jin Corporation! They're huge sons of bitâsons of the devil," he said in a hurry after seeing Iris, his boss, giving him a warning glance.
He coughed and gave Iris a sheepish smile. "Ehehehe. Excuse my language, boss. But you have to admit that I'm not wrong for feeling this way."
Iris sighed and shook her head but didn't say anything because she had no energy to spare doing unnecessary things right now. Her concentration was already stretched beyond her current condition's limit and it was taking a toll on her.
"How come 'poopoo-head' isn't included in the bad words list?" Bacon muttered under his breath. "Bacon is always being grounded but Big Sister Ketchup is usually safe whenever she says these questionable words. This feeling of unfairness is not classy."
Iris sighed again. She preferred leaving any disciplinary lectures on their AI children to her husband, so even though she felt sorry for leaving Bacon with an unresolved issue like this, she really didn't have the energy or the desire to explain things to him right now.
Instead she reminded them, "Concentrate, Ketchup, Bacon. We're not done here yet."
"Aye aye, Mommy! Roger! Meow!"
"Understood, Mother."
Iris bit her lip, a deep furrow forming between her perspiring brows, as she forced herself to maintain her focus. Sweat formed at the tip of her nose and chin before falling down the front of her shirt. Good thing that Dom was attentive and quickly wiped the sweat on her face and neck without blocking her sight.
"Bacon, what's the status of my request?"
"Shadow Winds already dispatched a team to the location that we obtained after breaching Eagle's defence. They will be at the hotel in 7 minutes, 23 seconds."
"Good." Iris wasn't really expecting that the dispatched Shadow Winds team would actually catch the Eagle hackers unless they were stupid. And she didn't think that they were stupid. In fact, based on their repeated clashes, the Eagle hackers were all smart and cunning, not to mention extremely daring. If they weren't, they wouldn't have given her AI children a hard time battling them without her help.
They must have already fled the scene. Nevertheless, if they fled in a hurry, they shouldn't have been able to bring everything that they used to fight the hacking battle against her and her AI children. Their computers should all be fried due to the power flood, but she still wanted to retrieve the devices and examine them herself.
As the one who developed the theory of power flood, which she had been secretly working on ever since she was still a student at Cross Academy as Evelina in her past life, she was well aware of its effects. Hence, she also devised various ways to deal with those effects.
Logically speaking, the theory of power flood should be an impossibility, especially when the source of additional power came from a foreign and remote place that belonged to a completely separate and different electrical power system.
But who was she?
She was a certified genius who successfully graduated from Cross Academy in her past life as Evelina Vetrova and then once again became an enrolled student in the same legendary school in her new life as Iris Long.
Cross Academy shunned the concept and the word "impossible" from their vocabulary. To them, just accepting the idea of impossibility was already placing a limit on oneself.

Chapter 1048 - The Apocalyptic Power Flood
Just by being born as a member of the infamous Vetrov family had automatically put countless limitations on her life as Evelina Vetrova no matter how hard she refused to involve herself with the organization. Although she had always dreamed of a better life of freedom pursuing her passions and dreams without any worries, her actual living situation prevented her from believing that she could actually achieve her ideal life. Her environment during that time had instilled the concept of impossibility deep within her.
It was only when Cross Academy recruited her as a student that her mindset drastically changed. She might not have studied in the campus but the remote education she received wasn't inferior to the other students. She began to finally believe that anything was possible as long as she was creative and determined enough to think of ways to make the impossible possible.
She might not have succeeded in escaping her caged life as Evelina Vetrova until her death, but Cross Academy's values remained deep in her heart and allowed her to achieve numerous breakthroughs both as a hacker and as a musician. Her life had been extremely short, tragic, and devoid of real happiness, but it was undeniable that her name, Evelina Armanovna Vetrova, and her achievements would remain in the history books of Cross Academy for more generations to come.
Such an impossible theory as the power flood was one of her breakthroughs as a hacker. It wasn't the best in her repertoire but it was one of the most destructive.
Due to issues in legalities and its questionable application in real life, she had been reluctant to test it on a grand scale, deciding instead to develop the theory in secret even from Cross Academy. After all, its actual application could be categorized as a weapon for warfare.
It wasn't a weapon in the sense of artillery or combat weapons, but it was still a destructive weapon that had the potential to paralyze or even permanently damage entire nations. Everything would be in chaos. Whole economies would collapse. The list of its destructive effects was long and frightening.
The power flood was designed to target and destroy all telecommunications and computer networks via overloading. It wouldn't only be the devices that would be fried but the actual software frameworks that were making everything work.
In theory, the power flood was a weapon to forcefully send a target to a situation akin to an era before electricity and advanced technology. It wasn't foolproof and would not work on less technologically dependent targets, but for the most part, it should be incredibly effective to the majority of the world that was now so reliant on modern technology.
Its reach wasn't limited within Earth. Based on her theory, it should also be possible to target satellites, and if developed even further, perhaps it could also affect space rovers sent to the moon and other planets, maybe even spaceships in deep space in the future.
At the moment, however, the power flood was still too far in reaching the stage of achieving those kinds of incredible extraterrestrial feats, not to mention that the field wasn't exactly her specialty.
But if she wanted to develop the power flood in that direction in the future, she would need a partner whose specialty was in that kind of field. Her fellow Cross Academy student, the aerospace engineer Trumann Seekerton, was the best candidate. Amanpio Kileksy was also another possible collaborator since the inventor had patented mechanisms that the best space agencies in the world were currently using. Both were excellent choices but she still felt reluctant sharing such a dangerous weapon of potential mass destruction.
In other words, the theory of power flood had the potential to bring about an apocalypse when used by the wrong hands. She was its creator so she knew all too well the possible extent of the damage it could incur.
Although she trusted the integrity of Cross Academy, she didn't trust everyone in it. All the students, alumni and instructors were certified geniuses but nobody among them would claim that they were saints. All of them were still humans after all. The heart could change when greed was involved.
In addition, she was 100% certain that Cross Academy would keep a closer eye on her and perhaps even try to permanently tie her to them if she ever revealed the whole theory of power flood and its true potential as a warfare weapon. She couldn't risk that. It might put various restrictions on her freedom like in her past life as a Vetrov.
Due to all these issues, she had been unable to test the power flood on a large scale. She could only test it on a small scale within a few Vetrov properties in the past to the great ire of her mother, Madam Vetrova. Of course, nobody including her parents or even her big brother knew about the power flood. They only thought that she was just causing trouble, her form of rebellion for refusing to work for the family organization.
In tonight's battle against a more aggressive and powerful Eagle, she still decided to initiate the power flood despite its lack of successful testing. It was a huge risk, no doubt about it, but she still went ahead with it anyway.
One, there was no time to think of a better strategy when Jin Corporation was in grave danger, not to mention that her husband was in a dangerous situation inside the hotel as well.
Two, her current health condition didn't allow her to tough it out like usual. Her pregnancy significantly decreased her physical and mental endurance, not to mention that her emotions had become too sensitive.
Three, she wasn't the exact same person as she was in her past life. Her skills as a hacker had greatly improved and even her style had changed.
Finally and most importantly, she now had her two AI children, Ketchup and Bacon. She didn't want to refer to them as mere secret weapons because she and her husband had already long grown to love them as their own children, but technically, Ketchup and Bacon were indeed her most powerful secret weapons.
She could say with great confidence that creating the two of them was her highest accomplishments as a hacker so far. However, they were still practically babies so they needed to grow more, learn more, and gain more experience in order to become more powerful in the future. They hadn't reached their full potential yet. Not even close.

Chapter 1049 - Just A Little More
With the help of Ketchup and Bacon's powerful and sophisticated systems, Iris was able to successfully perform the power flood tonight without encountering any unexpected problems.
The upside was that it fulfilled her main purpose for initiating it tonight in the first placeâto defend Jin Corporation and to inflict severe damage to Eagle.
Eagle should be hurting now. She was able to successfully gain some clues about the hackers after frying their defence. She also pinpointed their actual location where they were staying while battling against her and her AI children. Bacon said that a Shadow Winds team was already on their way to investigate the location.
Hopefully, the Eagle hackers left most of their computers so that she could attempt to revive the dead devices and recover the data contained in them. It would be difficult, yes, but still possible for her.
An even better scenario was if they left behind more substantial clues about their identities, perhaps an ID or something, out of carelessness, but she didn't put much hope in it. The Eagle hackers surely wouldn't be that foolish. If they did, things would be easier and more convenient for her but she would still feel disappointed at their huge oversight.
All she could do was wait patiently for what the Shadow Winds team would find at the location and work with whatever they got.
Another important thing that she discovered was that the Eagle hackers used Spanish as their main language for communication. English was a close second.
Knowing what language they used wasn't a sure-fire way to identify where they came from because there were quite a number of Spanish-speaking countries. It was the second-most spoken native language and fourth-most spoken language in the world after all.
Nevertheless, Iris was confident that she would be able to narrow down their origins by studying their records of communications. Even if it was one language, each country or region had their own distinct dialects, accents and vocabulary that would help differentiate speakers from one another. As a current language student enrolled in Cross Academy, this was included in the curriculum that she was studying.
She wasn't an expert at it yet but it shouldn't be a problem. She could always consult with Professor Kalisha Schwarz, her genius instructor in the major European and African languages.
These gains from the power flood were all good but Iris felt unsatisfied. If only her health hadn't become more delicate due to her pregnancy, she would have definitely toughed it out and attempted to milk the power flood for all it was worth no matter how many days it would take. She wouldn't stop until she discovered the real identities of all the Eagle hackers, and most importantly, the true mastermind pulling the strings behind them.
Unfortunately, her current condition just wouldn't allow her to do so. Even now, she could feel the onset of light-headedness and nausea. However, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to endure.
'Just a little more,' she chanted in her mind, not daring to say it out loud, because the others riding in the executive van with her might hear her and force her to stop before she was ready.
It was a waste not to exploit Cross Academy's abundant and robust power supply, not to mention the assistance of its Computer Department. Almost 95% of tonight's power flood came from Cross Academy because she didn't want to risk causing the collapse of Dragon Palace Homes and her Gold Heights condominium's power supply.
Then came another discovery.
She gasped, unable to hide her shock.
This momentary loss of concentration cost her. Her body couldn't handle it anymore.
Her vision dimmed. Then she felt herself tilting sideways.
"Mommy!"
"Mother!"
"Boss!"
"Shit. Xiulan!"
She heard all their voices and wanted to respond to them but then everything went black.
###
"Well, damn." Jenny Tseng watched as Luke and another guy in his early twenties dumped an unconscious Jin Liwei on the hotel bed. "Jin Liwei actually fell for this ridiculous plan? He's dumber than I thought."
"Jenny, the handcuffs!" Rose Young reminded her.
"Oh, right." Jenny rummaged through her handbag and tossed a couple of metal handcuffs on the bed. She had a collection of handcuffs in different styles and colours used in adult bed plays.
Luke and the other guy took one each and handcuffed Jin Liwei to the bed's headboard. Rose had the keys.
Jin Liwei didn't stir at all even though he was lying in an awkward position. The metal handcuffs dug around the skin of wrists. He looked flushed from the drugs. Sweat beaded on his skin and glistened under the bedroom's ambient lights. The perspiration soaked his white dress shirt, allowing others to see the outline of his abs and the tight muscles of his chest.
Jenny didn't have a good impression of him because of how crazy and obsessed he made her best friend, Rose. However, she couldn't deny that he was indeed a very fine man based on physical appearance. She was still a woman at the end of the day, so her eyes ogled the man's body without any restraint.
She commented, "Damn. He might be dumb for falling for this stupid plan but he's sexy as hell. If he looks like this with clothes on, how much more yummy will he look like naked? I want to see!"
"I'll scratch your eyes out if you dare," Rose growled at her.
"Whoa, Rosie!" Jenny rolled her surgically enhanced eyes. "You're so mean to your bestie. I just want to see. It's not like I also want to taste. Well, maybe a little."
"Jenny." Rose now looked murderous.
"Ahahaha. I'm just joking. Why so serious?" Jenny faced the mirror and started checking her appearanceâfixing her hair, straightening her clothes, and reapplying her lipstickâbefore turning to Luke and the other guy. "Our job here is now done, boys. Let's get out of this room. I'm not interested in watching my best friend's live-action porn, especially when the guy is unconscious. So boring! It's like fucking a corpse."
She paused, her expression twisting in disgust. "Eeew. That just put a scary and yucky image in my head! Erase erase!"
Luke blushed while the other guy laughed.
Jenny winked at them. "Interested in having some fun with Big Sister Jenny in another room? I have some extra handcuffs and a whip if you're interested."

Chapter 1050 - You're Mine Now
"I'm in. Let's go!" Luke's friend accepted Jenny Tseng's offer without any hesitation. He wasn't shy in admiring her silicone-enhanced boobs either.
"Bro!" Luke looked horrified by his friend's boldness.
"What? She offered. What's wrong with accepting it? Come on, bro. We're all adults here. Don't be such a wimp."
Luke glared at him while blushing hard.
Jenny laughed, finding the two guys cute. She pushed her melon-sized fake boobs forward with pride, giving Luke's friend a better view to ogle them.
"He's right, Luke. I offered and he accepted. Nothing wrong with that. We're both consenting adults...." Her voice trailed off after realizing what she said. She glanced at her best friend with worry and sighed in relief when Rose didn't seem to have heard her.
Rose's situation was the complete opposite of hers. The unconscious Jin Liwei definitely didn't consent to what Rose planned to do with him tonight.
Jenny sighed again and shook her head at her obsessed best friend. She didn't understand at all how one could enjoy fucking an unconscious person. Rose was definitely not right in the head when it came to Jin Liwei. And she, Jenny Tseng, admitted that she wasn't right in the head either for always supporting Rose no matter how crazy she had become.
Oh well. What could she do? She was just a very loyal friend.
Shrugging, she tossed her hair and gestured at the two guys. "Let's go, boys."
Luke and his friend followed her out of the hotel bedroom like two puppies.
As soon as the door closed, Rose Young walked closer to the bed and started removing her clothes. Her movements were deliberately slow. She wanted to savour the mouth-watering sight of the man of her dreams lying helplessly in front of her.
The time had come for Jin Liwei to become hers.
Finally.
How long had she waited for this moment?
She was going to fuck Jin Liwei, feel him deep inside her body. Taste him....love him...make him hers forever...until the end of time.
Although it was unfortunate that he was unconscious, it was the only way that she could have him so soon. If things only went according to her original plan, she would have been more patient but that slut Iris Long just had to destroy everything and snatched Jin Liwei before anyone could react.
Hopefully, he would regain consciousness while in the middle of her having sex with him, preferably in a half-asleep and half-awake state. That way, he wouldn't be clearheaded enough to reject her. His libido would take over his body instead.
She was positive that once he had a taste of what kind of pleasure she could give him, he wouldn't be able to get enough of her. He would surely crave her and eventually abandon that slut Iris Long.
Their start might be paved with countless obstacles but the two of them would surely end up together as husband and wife. They belonged together. He was her destiny and she was his.
Her clothes were now scattered around her feet. She was only left with her thong. No bra. She didn't wear any. She didn't need it. There was nothing to support anyway.
She continued to watch Jin Liwei, not noticing that he didn't look as feverish as before. Heat pooled in her lower abdomen and she could feel her core becoming wet, so wet that it instantly soaked the scant string of fabric of her thong.
One hand started playing with her flat breasts, pinching her nipples, and making them harden into tight little pebbles. The other hand snaked downwards until her fingers touched her now soaking core. She shivered and moaned from pleasure. Licking her lips, she inserted one finger inside her and moved it in and out.
"Oh yeah. Big Brother...Liwei. See how wet I am for you."
Then she removed her glistening finger before bringing it to her mouth and sucking her own juice. "Mmmm. I can't wait for you to taste me. I'm certainly more delicious than that slut who you married by mistake. I also can't wait to taste you. I just know that you'll be the most delicious man that I've ever tasted in my life."
When the lust became almost unbearable, Rose finally half-climbed the bed, resting one knee on it while her other leg stayed on the floor. Then she reached towards Jin Liwei, intending to remove his clothes.
"You're mine now," she whispered, her hot breath blowing against his handsome face.
###
Iris regained consciousness after a few minutes. There was a lot of garbled noises around her, causing her to frown in annoyance. It wasn't just the noise that was displeasing her. She was pressed into something hard, half of her face buried against it. An unpleasant smell assaulted her nose, immediately sending her into a fit of dry heaving.
"Boss, you're awake!" Dom pulled her from Jin Chonglin's arms and held a small trash can in front of her.
Nothing came out of her but the nausea didn't stop. Her full senses were finally returning. She was now becoming more aware of her surroundings.
"L-little Liwei...give me," she managed to gasp between the dry heaves.
"Here, boss." Dom placed the large teddy bear on her lap.
She immediately pressed her face on the shirt the teddy bear was wearing and began furiously inhaling her husband's comforting scent. When the dry heaves calmed down, she threw a dark look at her brother-in-law.
"Stinky," she told him.
Jin Chonglin's expression turned black. For a few seconds, he was unable to comprehend what she just said. "You...you...I don't stink!" He was indignant but he still bent his head down and started sniffing at his collar and armpits. "What stinky? I smell good! I'm wearing cologne! An expensive one."
The others ignored him. Dom was busy trying to help Iris become comfortable.
"Mommy, wuwuwu. Ketchup was so scared! Are you okay now, Mommy? Meowuwuwu!"
"Mother, if you didn't wake up, Bacon planned on destroying this city in another five minutes and not care about it even if it's not classy."
Iris gave a murmur of reassurance to his AI children. She felt much better now after smelling her husband's scent. She hugged Little Liwei and glanced outside. She became startled when she realized that the vehicle was moving.
"Wait, where are we going? Stop!"
