In the heart of Damascus, at the central hotel.
dad?
In the spacious presidential suite, Tara Green lounged barefoot on the couch, her red–painted nails making her feet look even more alluring and fair.
The table in front of her was filled with a variety of fruits and snacks. She nibbled on them while casually playing on her phone, looking completely at ease.
Meanwhile, First was busy at the computer, with Second watching him intently.
When First successfully logged out, Second finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Bro, what was the point of all that?” Second asked, “You even got caught.”
“Getting caught and being able to find me are two different things!” First replied calmly, his eyes fixed on the screen. “Besides, they didn’t discover me; I let them discover me.” His expression was confident and assured, far more composed
than someone his age should be.
“But what’s the point?” Second questioned.
“Of course, it’s to test Dad’s team’s skills, to see if they’ve found anything useful. Dad says he’ll tell us things, but has he really shared anything? Even though he knows we’re different and joined the Dark Web, it doesn’t change the fact that, in his eyes, we’re still just his kids. He won’t let us worry, nor will he let us get involved!” First said, emphasizing each word.
Second listened and thought it made sense, but he couldn’t help asking, “Aren’t you afraid Dad will find out?”
“He won’t…”
“How can you be so sure?” Tara’s lazy voice chimed in, “Do you guys really not know Hugo that well?”
Hearing Tara’s words, First asked, “What do you mean?”
Tara finally looked up from her phone and said, “What, you guys don’t know?”
“Know what?”
“I remember telling you about Hugo’s exploits before!” Tara said.
“Just get to the point!” First felt something was off.
“Back when Hugo was opposing the Dark Web, he founded DX. You didn’t know that?”
“Of course, we did!”
“And DX’s headquarters is right here.”
First was taken aback, “Here? I thought it was in Italy?”
“Uh, did I say that?” Tara frowned, but after thinking for a moment, she continued, “Didn’t I mention that DX’s headquarters was moved here later?”
“Shortly after DX was founded, it was relocated here. After that, who knows what Hugo did…”
Tara Green continued, “After retiring, DX was handed over to the person who co–founded it with him. That guy’s no joke-

he’s a tough character. DX has thrived under his management, and I’ve heard he’s recruited quite a few hackers!” She added, “I got some reliable intel that a significant portion of the top twenty from Hacker Web were brought over by him, but who they are remains a mystery.”
First, “…”
Second, “…”
“Putting everything else aside, DX is seriously loaded and isn’t shy about offering high prices. Dark Web started late, and back then, they didn’t have much money, so they were slow to act.” Tara Green shook her head, looking somewhat
regretful.
First and Second just stared at her, feeling utterly baffled.
“Couldn’t you have mentioned this earlier?” First asked, enunciating each word carefully.
Tara turned to him, “I thought you knew. Who would’ve guessed you’re so clueless about your own dad!” She shifted the
blame onto them.
This blame wasn’t something they could just accept!
First, “…. Next time, please finish your story!”
*OK!”
At this point, Second let out a heavy sigh.
Seeing their speechless expressions, Tara Green tried to console them, “It’s really not a big deal. Besides, Hugo Hodges…”
“It’s your dad. Even if he knows, what can he do? You’re not on opposing sides now, and he didn’t say anything when he found out you joined the Dark Web, right?” Tara Green said.
First took a deep breath. “It’s not that he didn’t say anything; he just hasn’t had the chance yet!”
“And even if he does, what can he do? They won’t do anything to you!” Tara replied.
“Easy for you to say when you’re not in our shoes!” First retorted.
Tara raised an eyebrow. “Of course, it’s not my problem.”
First and Second exchanged glances, speechless.
The friendship boat seemed ready to capsize at any moment.
Watching them, Tara chuckled. “Relax. If it comes to that, just blame it on me. Hugo Hodges already has plenty of issues
with me, and I don’t care!”
Just as First was about to speak, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
First and Second froze as they looked at the caller ID.
Seeing them not moving, Tara asked, “What’s up? Who’s calling?”
They remained silent.
“Is it Hugo Hodges?” Tara guessed.

First glanced at her, picked up the phone, and answered the call.
At that moment, Tara and Second fell silent.
“Hey, Dad,” First answered the phone.
“First, are you resting?” came the concerned voice of Hugo.
First glanced out the window, quickly responding, “Resting? It’s still early, no time for that.” Then, remembering something. he asked, “Dad, have you arrived?”
“Yes, I’m here.”
