No Way Back by Anna Mac

“I’ll introduce Andy to Lila another day.”

Jane smiled.

Though she had been debating whether to let Lila contact Andy.

After all, Andy was from the Darknet.

Having too many connections with the Darknet was not good for a pure little thing like Lila,

who lived in the world of light.

But.

Jane almost forgot.

She was from the Darknet too.

Queen.

They were all of Jane’s most important friends.

She believed that they would definitely get along very well.

In the future, two women and a man would travel whenever they were free, drink coffee,

visit pet shops, go to amusement parks, play with claw machines, and do many happy

things that they did not have time to do in their previous lives.

Just thinking about it made her excited!

When Jane came out of the shower.

She planned to blow dry her hair and go to sleep.

And at that moment.

Crack-

A special notification noise sounded.

Jane Fowler was a little stunned.

This notification was a private message from the Darknet.

Jane rejected stranges’ private messages.

Otherwise, she would have been harassed to no end by the Darknet’s fanatical fans.

Only people who followed Jane and who she also followed could send private messages to

Jane.

One of them was Andy, of course.

The other one.

Was Jane Fowler’s apprentice in the Darknet.

This person was also from Crucsia.

The Darknet’s number 12 hacker-H.F.!

Andy had Jane’s number and various contact details on WeChat.

Naturally, he would not send Darknet messages to Jane.

So the only possibility was.

Jane picked up her phone and opened the Darknet

As expected!

was H.F.!

[Master, you’re back.]

[… Yes, I’m back. Did you hear the news?], answered Jane.

Seeing this apprentice of hers, Jane’s expression was gentle.

Initially, she had taken in this apprentice purely because she had liked that he was also

from Crucsia.

Moreover, this H.F. was extremely talented.

He was so talented that even Jane, who only wanted to find her family and who was

unwilling to be involved too much, started to love his talents.

She couldn’t help but take him in as her apprentice and give him a few pointers.

H.F. was only ranked 12th on the hacker rankings.

One reason was that the number of missions he accepted was very few. As Jane’s

apprentice, she naturally had the same expectations for him. They must not endanger

national security.

They could not turn their backs on the bottom line of humanity.

And they would never stand against the innocent.

Secondly, H.F. had only officially been in contact with the hacker industry for a short three

years.

To be able to obtain the position of 12th place in a place like the Darknet, where there were

talented individuals and dangers lying around every

corner…

It was not an exaggeration to call him a “genius among geniuses”!

Unknowingly, H.F. had become one of the only two ties Jane had in the Darknet.

In his third year as Jane’s apprentice, H.F. had offered to meet her, but Jane refused.

After all, being involved with the Darknet’s people involved a lot of factors, and would have

a lot of disadvantages while not having a single

advantage

At that time, even Andy, Jane Fowler’s most trusted subordinate, had never met her.

They had to drag it out until now.

After that, Jane finally found her family. She did not want them to be hurt by someone from

the Darknet, so to protect them.

Queen officially announced her withdrawal from the Darknet, and

completely disappeared.

H.F. knew that Jane had made up her mind to leave, so he also announced his withdrawal

from the Darknet.

Just like that, the master and apprentice had completely cut off all contact with each other.

Unexpectedly, during the few days that Jane returned to the Darknet, H.F received the news

and went online to contact him again.

[Yes… I’m sorry, Master. Recently, I’ve been busy with some real-life matters. It wasn’t easy

for me to settle them.], texted H.F.

H.F. asked, [I just found out that you returned to the Darknet. Will you leave this time?

[I don’t think so,] replied Jane.

Previously, she had left the Darknet because she was worried that the Fowler family would

be hurt.

Now, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Jane no longer had any weaknesses.

During her time on the Darknet, Jane had been growing and doing what she was good at.

It was a much happier time than being in the Fowler family.

From now on, friendships and her career… Jane Fowler wanted it all!

Not a single one could be missing!

Jane Fowler no longer cared about kinship!

[That’s great. I can talk to you again.]

[**, even if we don’t know each other in reality, we’ll always be master and apprentice.],

chided Jane.

[As long as you live your own life in the future and remember the techniques I taught you,

our relationship will not be broken.], continued Jane.

[Yes… But now that you’re back, I don’t need to think about it. I can clearly feel that you’re

on the other side of the chat box, keeping me company…] Jane was also filled with emotion.

After quitting the Darknet in her previous life, Jane never contacted this apprentice again.

Now that she had been reborn and returned to the Darknet, she had really found too many

shining feelings that she had previously lost.

Jane chatted with F.S. for half an hour

[I’m sorry, Master. I’m getting on the plane back to Crucsia. Something troublesome

happened at home.]

[Okay, be careful! We’ll have plenty of opportunities to chat in the future.] [Yes, Master.]

In the future.

There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Exactly.

Master was back.

This time, she would never leave his side again..

In Yalondy. at a private airport.

Julian Crowley, Henry’s secretary, stood beside him in a suit and

gold-rimmed glasses. His hair was neatly combed back, and he was

obviously well-trained and capable. He said respectfully, “Mr. Fowler, the plane is ready.”

“Noted.”

Mr. Fowler turned off his phone, got up, and walked towards the private plane on his long

legs.

Julian was stunned.

What he caught from the corner of his eye just now…

Had he seen wrong?

Henry had clearly ended negotiations with Wetanean and successfully obtained a billion-

dollar deal.

After knowing what had happened to the Fowler family, he had been expressionless and had

an icy look about him.

No one dared to approach the topic casually, afraid that they would anger this lion and be

torn apart.

But.

While waiting for the plane to finish preparations, Henry was on his phone and chatting with

someone.

He seemed…

Very happy.

Just now…

He seemed to have laughed.

Julian did not know how long it had been since he had seen Henry smile like this outside,

without his family by his side.

The joy he felt was like that of regaining the most precious treasure that he had lost.
