344 Mr. Z (2/2)

”I…Boss Hao, we already suggested this before but…uh…”

Realization flashed in Lu Zihao's eyes. Then he scowled. ”No. I already said before that we will not involve Drakon in any of this business.”

The hacker leader already expected his boss' decision, but he still wanted to try persuading him to change his mind. ”Boss Hao, I think you should reconsider your decision. Boss Drakon is the only top-tier hacker that we know of who's the most likely to willingly help us because of your connection to her. All of us in the hacker team are confident that she could gather everything you need more quickly.”

Lu Zihao glared at his subordinate, making the guy lower his eyes to the floor.

”Boss Hao! We got a hit!” an excited voice interrupted them. It was a female hacker who barged inside the control room carrying a tablet. She panted as he handed the tablet to Lu Zihao. Then she explained, ”We found traces of our target in South America.”

”South America?” Lu Zihao frowned as he studied the information displayed on the tablet. The information was incomplete but his eyes widened when he realized something. He instructed, ”Continue monitoring him. Do everything you can to get me a copy of the biography. And also…”

The hacker leader and the female hacker paid attention.

”Look into the latest activities of the Alcatraz Organización.” Hatred boiled within Lu Zihao when he mentioned this group which was one of the biggest archenemies of the Vetrovs in the past.

The female hacker gasped aloud. ”Boss Hao! Don't you think it's still too early for us to mess with such a gigantic organization? We haven't even dared to cause trouble with the biggest triads in the country, and now we're going after the most powerful organization in Latin America? Isn't that too much?”

All of the subordinates inside the control room paled.

”Shush! What are you doing? I already told you to control your mouth when in front of the boss,” the hacker leader reprimanded her. Then he turned to Lu Zihao and bowed, forcing the female hacker to bow as well. ”Boss Hao, please forgive her this once! She's still young and doesn't yet know what's good for her!”

Lu Zihao nodded but made sure to give the female hacker a warning look. Although he didn't really mind what she said, he needed to instill discipline to all of his subordinates or things within the Shadow Winds might spiral out of his control.

”Sorry, Boss Hao,” she mumbled, trembling.

After instructing his subordinates on what to do next, Lu Zihao dismissed everyone. They went to do the tasks assigned to them. As for him, he wore his mask and headed to his room.

He wasn't really sure whether the Alcatraz Organización had something to do with the man writing the biography about the Vetrovs. It was possible that the Alcatrazes might have something to do with the Vetrov's downfall and annihilation. Everything was still a conjecture on his part, though.

Lu Zihao wanted to know the truth. It was an obsession. The progress of his hacker team was too slow that he was starting to run out of patience. There was also a sense of urgency, especially now that the biography might be published soon.

He fished his phone from his pocket. He tapped on it a few times but suddenly stopped when he realized what he was doing. His thumb hovered over Iris' phone number.

'No. It's better not to involve her in this dangerous business. She's living a great life now. I should let her enjoy a life of peace and happiness,' he told himself.

A sense of loneliness bubbled within him. He sighed and tried to shake it off.

'She chose her path and I chose mine. Better keep it that way.'

Lu Zihao looked straight ahead, determined not to falter in his path of revenge.
