Chapter 632
Corinne followed the usher into the private club. The World Hacker Conference was held on the highest
floor of the building. She took the elevator up and noticed how tight the security was. This was good
since it meant no one could sneak in nor could anyone leak out the members‘ information.
After arriving at the venue, the usher bowed and went back downstairs, leaving Corinne to enter alone.
It was dark inside, unlike other conferences. Every attendee was registered under their hacker name so
that they could keep their real identity a secret. They were only there to learn the newest hacking
technique from each other, not to make friends. The dim light meant it would be easier for the
attendees to conceal what their masks could not. For example, the look in their eyes.
It was very lively and crowded inside. It was more like a masquerade party than a conference, except
that everyone was dressed in a simr style. In the middle of the hall, there were groups of people
chatting and drinking with each other, and further back was a man giving a lecture on the technical
aspects of the new system on top of a mini stage.
“Look! That code belongs to Jade Rabbit!”
“So Jade Rabbit is here too!”
“Jade Rabbit has been keeping a low profiletely. I still remember how she hacked into Eravale’s
national defense system and changed their slogan just for the fun of it!”
“Wow, that’s impressive!”
Corinne smiled at her adoring fans before walking over to where the stage was. She found an empty
seat and sat down to listen to the lecture being given on stage. However, she found herself dozing off
after a while so she looked around to find something to do.
Everyone around her started whispering amongst themselves.
“If Jade Rabbit is here, does that mean Ghostlord is here too?”
“Yup, he’s here too!”
“Where is he? Howe I don’t see him?”
“Look there! He’s sitting by the floor–to–ceiling window over there.‘
“Wow! He’s so tall. I’m guessing he’s over six feet tall!”
“Yeah. Look at how long his legs are. His body is just perfect. I do believe he’s someone very important
in real life. I wonder what he looks like under that mask?”
“I want to get to know him so bad! But why is he sitting there all alone? Why won’t hee over and
talk to us?”
“Well, it is lonely at the top. Look at the vibe he’s giving out. It’s so cold. No one would ever dare to
approach him first. Hey, why don’t you strike up a conversation with him?”
“No, I’m scared.”
Their conversation alerted Corinne of Ghostlord’s presence. She turned to look at him. ‘Yes, it’s him
alright.‘
She met him a few years ago in an offline forum and the two of them shared their opinions about the
world of hacking. Coincidentally, they shared the same views on many things but sadly, Corinne did not
get to talk to her idol for long since he did not stay for long.
Therefore, she mentally reminded herself to take this rare opportunity to learn as much from Ghostlord
as possible. Giving up the boring lecture, she walked over to Ghostlord, who was quietly savoring his
drink.

Seeing her making her way to Ghostlord, the other attendees started whispering excitedly amongst
themselves. A meeting between the two best hackers in the world was certainly a sight to behold!
“It’s been a while, Ghostlord.” Corinne greeted him in a voice that was altered by the voice changer.
There was no way anyone could know what her real voice sounded like.
Ghostlord looked up. His face was half covered by the gold mask he was wearing, leaving only his chin
and thin lips for others to see.
