Byte 7: [Are you serious to take revenge on your father?]

Langston snorted, testing back quickly. [Yeah, you gonna back me up, right?]

Byte 7: [Boy, you really know how to stir the pot, dont you? Dropped the whole Lopez Corporation issue

right on my lap! If it weren’t for you, I’d be charging at least 50 million for this job]

[Well, aren’t your favorite apprentice?] Langston added a tongue–out emoji for good measure

“Sure, let’s drink some more Dorothy nodded.

Otherwise, she’d be in for a sleepless night

Kenneth went off to a nearby convenience store while Dorothy stayed behind, watching the city lights

dim and the occasional passerby.

Her phone suddenly rang. It was Lane.

Why would he be calling at this hour?

She hesitated but eventually picked up.

“Dorothy, are you in Elderia City?!”

“How’d you know?
