Chapter 389 The two were secretly competing in terms of gender again.

Hugo raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a teasing smile. “You’ve got it all figured out, huh? I make a comeback,

reclaim the Dark Web, then retire again, all to work for you while you reap the benefits. Do you really think I’m that naive?”

Ray quickly responded, “That’s not how it is. DX is like your child. You can’t just abandon it after bringing it into this world.

Sometimes, you have to step up and take responsibility as a parent.

Hugo squinted his eyes. “I won’t take credit for that. You were the one who raised it with all the hard work. Naturally, it’s

your responsibility. I won’t interfere, or it might grow up not being close to you.”

Ray was speechless.

The two of them had another subtle exchange, battling over roles.

Ray nodded, returning to the main topic. “I’m mainly concerned about your safety. Even if you retire, Homer Finch will

eventually find you. What will you do then?”

“That’s none of your concern!”

“Sure, I won’t worry about you. But have you thought about your girlfriend? Your future kids? What if Homer Finch decides

to target your girlfriend for revenge?”

At this, a flicker of anger flashed in Hugo’s eyes. “He wouldn’t dare!”

“I don’t know if he would, but it’s not impossible,” Ray pointed out.

Even if Hugo didn’t make a comeback, it served as a reminder for him.

Hugo’s eyes were calm, his pale, sharp features tense, and his dark eyes held a cold, thin layer of anger.

After a moment, he spoke, “I won’t give him that chance.”

“He’s been looking for you all these years,” Ray said. “I’ve tried my best to hold him back, but I’m afraid one day I won’t be

able to.”

“Is Homer still causing trouble with DX?” Hugo asked.

“Not as much since you stepped back, but there’s still tension. They’re clashing behind the scenes,” Ray replied.

“In recent years, Dark Web has grown rapidly, and their people are everywhere. No matter what, be careful. If anything

happens, let me know,” Hugo said.

Ray squinted, “Are you saying…”

“Even though I’ve left DX, I founded it. I won’t let anyone bully it,” Hugo stated.

Ray nodded, “Now that’s more like it.”

“But I’m not going to handle everything,” Hugo added.

“Don’t worry, just knowing you’re there is enough. I won’t bother you with trivial matters,” Ray assured him.

After all that back and forth, it was just to get that reassurance from him.

It wasn’t that Ray couldn’t manage DX; he simply missed the days when he and Hugo Hodges founded it together. With

Hugo, DX was vibrant and complete.

Even though Ray hadn’t been involved for years, he knew his heart was still here.

For him, that was enough.

Ray’s mood unexpectedly lifted.

Turning to Chris, he said, “See if you can track down those hackers from the old Red Mark Base.”

Chris nodded.

“And what’s the status with the boss?” Ray asked.

“Still inside Red Mark Base,” Chris replied.

“What about the people I asked you to find?” Ray inquired further.

Chris shook his head. “It’s strange. I’ve been following that call trace for ages but can’t pinpoint it. Even with some friends‘ help, we couldn’t crack it. Seems like there’s a real expert involved, but there aren’t many better than us…”

“Any suspects?”

“Besides Shadow Walker and the anonymous ones, there are seven or eight others ranked above me. It’s hard to say!”

Chris admitted.

Ray frowned, turning to Hugo. “J, what we can be sure of now is that the woman has someone skilled helping her. After failing to trace her last time, we shifted focus to the boss. But if we could identify who’s helping her, things would be

much simpler. Do you know who it might be?”

Hugo lowered his gaze.

Who else could it be?

Exactly.

Trying to find her this way was laughable.

Instead of directly answering the question, Hugo looked at him and said, “We’ll use the most basic method to find her.”

“The most basic… Are you sure?” Ray asked.

“When technology fails, you have to resort to the most basic methods,” Hugo replied. “They never go out of style.”

Ray listened, lazily raising an eyebrow but didn’t disagree.

“Alright, but it might take longer.”

“It’s better than waiting aimlessly,” Hugo said.

Ray nodded, then glanced at Chris, who understood and went to make arrangements.

“Wait,” Hugo called out.

Chris turned back.

Hugo thought for a moment. “She might not use her real identity, so pay attention to people, not just information,” he

advised.

“Got it,” Chris nodded and left.

Ray spoke up, “Your woman seems to know quite a bit about counter–surveillance,” he said, looking up at Hugo. “What

kind of person is she, anyway?”

When Scarlett Adler was mentioned, Hugo’s eyes narrowed slightly, a gentle light flickering within them. “She’s…

someone with endless words.”

Ray squinted, “I’m getting more curious about her. She managed to bring you back to this land, knows all these
