Chapter 408

Kenneth kept quiet as he watched Miguel fight his opponent.

As the windows flashed on the screen, Miguel's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Finally, with a loud

thump, Miguel smacked his hands on the keyboard.

“What's wrong?” Kenneth asked.

“I...” Miguel hesitantly started, finding it hard to answer Kenneth.

“You lost?” Kenneth quirked a brow.

Despite his reluctance to admit it, it was still a fact. Hence, Miguel nodded with much difficulty. “The

other person has tracked me down. Now, not only do they know that I've been stalking them, but they

even know our location.”

“Is it that simple?”

Miguel drew his brows together as if he had been humiliated by Kenneth's dubious gaze. “I...”

He wanted to say something, but he did not know how to phrase his words. After a while of thinking

about it, he uttered, “There aren't many people in this world who are better at this than me. One is

Shadow Seeker, and the other is Anonymous. There are two more, actually, but those two never

appeared after the competition ranking at Hacker Community was published. So, I'm not bluffing when I

say that I'm in fifth place!”

“Fifth place... Are you sure about that?”

“Of course. Or at least, that's the case at the Hacker Community's ranking,” Miguel replied.

Kenneth raised his brows at the sight of Miguel's agitated demeanor. “If not for the ranking?”

“It'll be hard to say if we put aside the ranking, but hackers will all come to the Hacker Community to

compete with each other. Who would know who's better if not for the ranking?” Miguel uttered.

A hint of gloom then flashed past Miguel's face as he looked at his computer. “Why am I bumping into

so many experts recently? This is so strange.”

With that, Miguel began chatting with the other person.

He typed: May I have the honor of knowing your name?

The other person was silent for a moment before replying: I am nameless.

Miguel asked: Nameless? Why haven't I heard of you before? Did you not join the Hacker Community's

competition?

The other person typed: Miguel, it seems like you aren't as smart as I thought you'd be.

Miguel's eyes widened before he rapidly typed: You know who I am? How did you know it was me?

The other person gloomily replied to his questions: I genuinely don't know how you ended up in the top

five with a brain like this.

Miguel turned speechless.

At that very moment, he knew well that the other person was much, much more skillful than him.

Nevertheless, the other person did not seem to have any malicious intent, so Miguel answered: I admit

that I'm not as skillful as you, but you can't say that I'm stupid. I have a high IQ!

The person: Yes, yes. Sure.

Miguel typed: Who are you, really?

The person: Take a guess.

Miguel mulled over it before responding: Are you Shadow Seeker?

The person: No. I'm Shadow Seeker's fan.

At that, Miguel gasped and typed: You're Anonymous?

The person: My, you're not as dumb as I think you are.

Again, Miguel was rendered speechless.

He had only guessed it was Anonymous because he heard others talk about how Anonymous was

Shadow Seeker's fan, for Anonymous had chatted about it in private. Although one was in the first

place and the other was in the second, the second place felt no envy at all, nor did he seem to want to

surpass the first place. It was as if Anonymous was content with being a protector of the other.

Miguel typed in disbelief: Are you really Anonymous?

Anonymous: What's the matter? Do you have a problem with that?

Miguel agitatedly typed: I... I just never thought I'd be able to interact with you one day. Even though

I've been looking forward to this day for a long time, I... I'm your fan!

Anonymous was speechless for a while.

Is it that easy to get a fan? he wondered.

Miguel proceeded to write in excitement: Where are you? Can we meet?

Anonymous: Sorry. I can't.

Miguel: Then... Then can you leave your contact details? I'd like to get to know you!

Anonymous wasted no time rejecting him: No.

Miguel: All right...

Miguel was disappointed by Anonymous' outright rejection. Right then, Kenneth peeked at the

conversation between Miguel and the other person before frowning. “How did you know he's

Anonymous?”

Miguel responded, “I was chatting with a few hacker friends the other day, and one had the pleasure of

interacting with Anonymous. At that time, someone tried to sow discord between him and Shadow

Seeker, but Anonymous told them he was Shadow Seeker's fan and that Shadow Seeker deserved first

place. He even announced that whoever wanted to challenge Shadow Seeker would have to go

through him first. News about that incident soon spread among the hackers, but it's nothing verified. I'm

just making a bold guess today.”

Hearing that, Kenneth frowned again.

At that moment, Miguel's gossip mode activated, and he added, “Someone even said that Anonymous

admires Shadow Seeker, and that's why Anonymous is willing to guard Shadow Seeker and let

Shadow Seeker remain in the first place.”

That only made Kenneth scrunch his brows even more.

Guard Shadow Seeker? Why have I never heard about this person before?

Kenneth could ignore all other people, but Anonymous... somehow made him feel ill at ease.

It was a sense of familiarity in between feelings that he could not quite describe with words.

A beat of contemplation later, Kenneth said, “Ask him why he's tracking you down.”

Miguel saw sense in his instructions, so he immediately typed: Who's the person I'm tracking to you?

Sitting in the chair, Anthony glanced at Benjamin, who was on his phone, and replied: Someone I'm

protecting.

After reading that, Miguel lifted his head to look at Kenneth.

So Benjamin's connected to Anonymous too? Is it because of Natasha?

All of a sudden, it felt as if an invisible man had erected a wall between them.

Miguel then asked, “Mr. Hamilton, the person you're tracking must know Anonymous. Could you

introduce me to them?”

Kenneth's eyes flicked toward him before he frowned.

Anthony messaged: Why are you tracking him down?

Miguel: Um...

Anonymous: Did someone instruct you to look into this?

Miguel was speechless for a while.

I got it, came the message from the other end.

Again, Miguel was speechless.

It was as though Anonymous had grown a pair of X-ray eyes that allowed him to see through the net at

them.

Miguel could not help but feel even more admiration for the other person.

Anonymous threatened: Stop wasting your effort and stop trying to track them down. I won't hold back

otherwise.

Kenneth was reading the conversation as he stood behind Miguel, and the frown he had turned even

more intense.

It looks like there are things I still don't know about. Oh my dear son, how many more secrets have you

kept from me?
