Chapter 387
“Where are we going?” Kenneth asked.
Acting all mysterious, Dave pointed at the first floor and went upstairs with a smile.
Kenneth frowned in bewilderment but followed him anyway.
Upstairs, they continued to walk for some time before arriving at a bedroom.
At this point, Kenneth's expression was tense.
After entering the room, Dave turned around and shot him a teasing look. “Well, do you want to get
some rest here?”
Kenneth glanced around the room and responded, “I dare not stay in your room. After all, I don't want
anyone who comes in to think that I'm you.”
Dave narrowed his eyes. “You have a dirty mind!”
Kenneth did not reply to that.
Dave walked toward the wardrobe and touched the back of it. Slowly, it opened and revealed a hidden
room.
Then, he glanced at Kenneth and said, “Let's go.”
Kenneth followed him silently.
It was not a simple hidden room but rather an independent suite. Kenneth smelled something as soon
as he got in.
“Dave.”
“Dave.”
Sitting in front of the computers, a few young men rapidly typed away on their keyboards. A series of
codes appeared on many screens that differed in size.
Dave came up to Kenneth and asked, “What do you think? Is the environment okay?”
“I think you're the only one who would build a hidden room in your bedroom,” Kenneth scoffed.
“Is there a problem?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I'm curious to know if you ever feel worried that they might see you sleeping naked.”
Dave answered calmly, “Well, it's a one-way device. They can never walk out of my bedroom without
my fingerprint.”
Raising his eyebrows, Kenneth couldn't help but commend him, “What an awesome design!”
Dave rolled his eyes at him and asked, “How about it? Do you want me to design a similar one for
you?”
“Please don't. I'm afraid I don't deserve it.”
“I suspect your hidden room is bigger than mine!” Dave whispered.
Kenneth listened without saying anything.
After a while, Dave walked toward the young men and looked at one of them. “Miguel, how is the
investigation going?”
“The information you need is all here.”
“All right. Please come over and explain to us,” Dave instructed.
As a thought popped into his mind, Dave introduced Kenneth to the young man. “By the way, this is...
Mr. Hamilton. He's a lot older than you.”
Kenneth shot Dave a bewildered glance.
In response, Dave added, “This young man is a Gen Z! Aren't you a lot older than him?”
“In that case, you're also a lot older than him,” Kenneth argued.
“Well, I'm younger than you,” Dave replied smugly.
“Is that so? In that case, shouldn't you show me some respect?” Kenneth asked.
“Should I bow to you?”
“I'm willing to accept it if that's what you want.”
“You can't tolerate even the slightest of teasing, can you?”
“Why should I?”
Dave nodded, for he admitted that Kenneth was better at exchanging jabs.
“You win,” Dave said.
“Thank you.”
Dave stopped dwelling on it and turned around to walk toward the central control panel.
After sitting around the control panel, Dave rested his legs lazily on it. Moments later, he snapped his
fingers and instructed, “You may start now.”
Miguel nodded in response. As soon as he touched the control panel, a picture of Boss appeared on
the screen.
“After conducting a thorough investigation for a few days, we've finally dug out some information about
the background of the person with the codename Boss.”
Kenneth turned his gaze to the control panel upon hearing it.
“This is Boss. His real name is Yosef Smith. He is a mixed race man and has Spaunian nationality. His
parents died in a war, and he joined Vermillion Base when he was young. He planned many terrorist
attacks and contributed a lot to Vermillion Base. However, he is always undermined by someone called
General Will. As such, they are believed to be friendly on the surface but are dissatisfied with one
another deep down.”
“Who is General Will?” Kenneth questioned with narrowed eyes.
“He is the right-hand man in Vermillion Base. However, we haven't found out who the real leader is,
and thus no one knows his identity for now,” Miguel explained.
Kenneth frowned upon hearing it. “In that case, Boss is an influential figure in Vermillion Base!”
“At least he has a say over certain matters.”
Suddenly, a thought popped into Kenneth's mind. “Can you find out information about Vermillion Base
in the early days? For instance, do they have hackers?”
“Yes, they did have hackers back then!” Miguel answered confidently.
Kenneth gazed at him in surprise. “Why would you say that?”
“When I investigated Boss, I also dug out information about Vermillion Base's inception. Apart from
plundering resources in exchange for weapons, the organization's hackers also hacked companies
owned by wealthy people in the early days. They even hacked governments in exchange for a large
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmamount of money. They must have expanded so rapidly all because of the hackers!” Miguel said.
“Can you obtain information on those hackers?” Kenneth enquired.
“Can you obtain information on those hackers?” Kenneth enquired.
However, Miguel shook his head. “I'm afraid that would be challenging because it happened many
years ago. At least I can't do it. Anyway, someone might be able to do it...”
“Who?” Kenneth's interest was piqued.
“Two god-like hackers, namely Shadow Seeker and Anonymous. I think it's possible if they try it.
However, Vermillion Base had a head start before the internet became increasingly common.
Therefore, I think the organization wouldn't release any information about their hackers on the internet.
You can try, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to find anything useful,” Miguel explained.
Kenneth frowned after Miguel finished.
Natasha wouldn't have waited for so many years if the information could be found. Since someone as
skillful as her couldn't discover anything, my idea won't work.
While Kenneth was deep in thought, Dave gazed at him and said proudly, “Why do you want to look for
the early history of Vermillion Base? No matter how strong the hackers are, they will be no match for
Miguel. After all, he is one of the top ten hackers in the world.”
“It's related to one of my family members, and thus I have to investigate it,” Kenneth replied.
“Was your family member one of Vermillion Base's hackers?”
Kenneth nodded in response.
“Where is he now?”
“He's dead.”
Dave paused before understanding dawned. After a moment of thought, he said, “In that case, I'm
afraid it'll be hard to get any information. After all, Shadow Seeker and Anonymous are the top hackers
in the world. I tried to find them for many years but to no avail. Some time ago, I heard that they had a
competition. However, they disappeared not long after they showed up. Hence, it's nearly impossible to
get their help!”
Upon hearing that, Kenneth looked at him and asked, “Why were you looking for them?”
“Of course, I wanted to recruit them! How could I let others use them to go against me?”
Kenneth listened with furrowed brows.
