Chapter 994


    One wrong move and things could go south. After all, children''s moods were the most unpredictable. Right then, Caleb closed the chat window.


    "Tim, let''s not rush right now."


    Timothy couldn''t help panicking. "Don''t you see him asking a question? Hurry up and answer him!"


    "It''s not the right time to answer. Let''s keep him hanging for a bit. Besides, you just said you have something to deal withter. "Since he wants an answer now, he won''t delete your number. At least not until you finish that story," Caleb exined.


    "Isn''t that obvious? What if he deletes my number right after I finish the story?"


    "That''s a problem for next time. But if you tell him now, he might delete your number as soon as he hears about the story."


    "Are you sure about this?" Timothy asked skeptically.


    "It''s a strategy called ''luring him in by letting him go.'' You even told him you were trying to bribe him. He definitely won''t delete your number. His impression of you should also be much better now. After all, you were a hero of some sort."


    Timothy looked at theputer and replied, "I never considered myself a hero. At least to the child, I am an unforgivable sinner."


    "No. The term ''unforgivable sinner'' falls short. To the kid, you are probably an irresponsible asshole."


    Hearing the word "asshole", Timothy felt like he had been stabbed in the heart.


    He snapped, "Shut up if you don''t know what to say."


    "You sure are quick to turn your


    back! I just helped youe up with a n, added the little hacker on WhatsApp, and gave you the chance to chat with him a bit more. And yet, you''re turning your back on me. You really are an asshole," Caleb


    remarked.


    On the other side of theputer, Sage, seeing no reply in the chat box, angrily left the application.


    How annoying! Why would the guy stop telling the story halfway through?


    His subordinate sent another message then.


    "Sir, how did your conversation with the hero go? What other secrets are there behind that legendary story from back then?"


    "And how did they finally deal with those super-rich and arrogant youngsters?"


    "Exactly, Sir. We just searched for


    that story again and watched theplete version. We heard there were some twists in the middle. The members of the alliance were all threatened by the terrorists. But despite all the pressure,


    doomBringer managed to find and expose all those terrorists in the end.


    None of us know how he did it,


    though."


    Sage replied, frustrated, "I don''t know either. He didn''t continue with his story."


    "Aw shucks! Why not? Did the hero have something to attend to? Did he mention when he would continue?"


    "He seemed to have some work to attend to. After all, he seemed to be in a meeting when we hacked in earlier."This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The subordinate who clearly remembered what they had done guiltily asked, "Sir, will the hero be upset that we disrupted his meeting when we hacked in earlier?" "Hmph. He''s just a fallen hero. What''s there to be upset about?" Sage retorted.


    "Sir, honestly, if you had continued just now, you might not have won We''re not trying to take credit away from ourselves. But really, the hero from that era was really powerful."


    "Yeah! He''s been in retirement for many years, but not even the seven of us could beat him just now. You can clearly see the difference between him and us."


    "I agree. In that case,pared to the hero from the Lane family, who''s stronger?"
