120 What She Is 7 (1/2)

More than five hours ago, the Dawsons' mafia headquarters were still full of Clarissa's people. Everyone was as Clarissa remembered them to be, rambunctious and foul-mouthed, some eager for fights, the others taking a whiff at some corner or having orgies inside one of the rooms.

However, around that time, Sofony used the last device redeemed freely from the shop to temporarily isolate the sounds from the first floor to the rest of the mansion. After that, Gio's men took care of everything. Not even ten minutes passed and the mafia members' faces became the agents'.

As for what happened to the real group of lowlives?

Well, they got temporarily huddled and cuffed somewhere outside. Then after the real target was successfully captured, Gio personally dropped them in front of the nearest police station, using Sofony's devices to change their countenances into those of death-row wanted criminals. Of course, to prevent them from escaping their imminent fate, he ordered his men to knock them out using a system-provided drug, ensuring they would only awaken once identified as societal garbages that must be purged in the name of justice.

All the works did not really take more than an hour but due to the location being outside Alina City, the return trip took longer than two hours. When Gio arrived home, it was already past 3 am.

Unfortunately, it did not become a 'finally, home sweet home' scenario for him. There was only one reason.

Sofony was nowhere to be seen.

He had already checked every room inside the unit but the girl had really yet to arrive. This realization naturally made his face darken, making him think whether separating from her and letting her escort that woman into his cousin's laboratory had really been the wiser choice.

He took off his coat and draped it over the couch. After freeing his wrist from the cufflinks, he rolled the sleeves of his dress shirt up then plopped down on the sofa next to it, his eyes staring at the phone in his hands. To be exact, to the icon on his screen, waiting for the red call button to turn into a call timer.

”She's not picking it up?”

More than a minute passed yet he still couldn't connect to her phone. This made his face darkened more and he was about to make another attempt again when he received an incoming call.

He frowned. There was no name under the strings of numbers. However, he perfectly knew who it belonged to.

It was due to this that he pressed the accept button and brought the phone to his ear, his mind asking why his uncle was calling at this unholy hour.

”Hello?”

The unfamiliar voice not belonging to the Albarez family's head automatically caused him to scowl.

”Gio Albarez?” it continued.

He did not answer and only waited for the other party to speak again. But although he was indeed waiting, his feet were not idle. In fact, they had long brought him in front of his laptop. Within ten seconds, he had already turned it on and connected it to his phone. He also enabled the on-screen keyboard to avoid making loud noises while typing.

”Can you hear me?” The unfamiliar woman's voice paused for a bit. But her previous tone gave him the illusion that she was frowning, half-doubting whether there was really someone on the other line.

Not long after, she resumed speaking.

”I don't believe you're not hearing me. There's just no way you won't pick up Conrad Albarez' private line. There's only one possibility. You can hear me but you just don't want to reply.”

The man who was busy tracking the caller's location, of course, remained silent, focused on his work.

Suddenly the voice laughed and said, ”Hmm. I think I get it now. Though my hearing is not as great as my other aspects, I'm sure I heard something akin to tapping. It is faint, but I'm confident I didn't hear wrong. Oh. This reminds me, in both the underworld and the military world, you're also famous as a hacker. Let me guess... Are you trying to locate me?”

Gio's eyes narrowed, not due to the woman's words, but because he had already confirmed his uncle's safety through the sole spycam he managed to sneak into the main mansion when he was still living there.

'How did she just access this number?' his mind asked.

Only he knew of this line as this was what his uncle had exclusively set up. There were numerous reasons for this but the main problem was how this person managed to use this number to call him.

When the woman was busy spouting bullshit to his ears and trying to appear genius by guessing what he was doing, his mind was occupied by this question.

And he only came up with one conclusion.

'It could only be another annoying whoever similar to that Dawson woman.' he thought, irritated. His fingers were still flying on the screen keyboard.

After realizing that, the man whose head was already cranky due to Sofony's absence became more irritable. His girl was currently not here because of that other b*tch and he was already not feeling good about that. Now there was another one trying to pester him?

On the other side, the woman couldn't stand his silence anymore so she cleared her throat and spoke again, ”Ahem, Mr. Albarez. I suggest you stop now if you are trying to uncover my location. I'm very sorry but you won't be able to track me. After all, I'm someone like your current pet. Your great hacking skills won't get you anywhere and you perfectly know why. You're perfectly aware of what we can do.”
