25 City of Ravens 11 (2/2)

'[] – nice one.'

'[£MM902] – Can you guys send me the files?'

'[] – sure, remember to access them through the 'Forum' server. The FBI will know that it was as that hacked the MCA if they find them. Btw, why the sudden interest in the guy?'

'[ONI123] – Boyfriend?'

'[£MM902] – Friends request.'

'[] – be careful then. This Alexander seems to have a connection with some gang from Ottawa. They are only a bunch of bullies but still…'

'[£MM902] – What gang?'

'[] – Killer Apes. I hacked his phone, and the boss of Killer Apes, Nate McDade told him to challenge Dominque Blake. And as far as I can tell from your IP address, it looks like you are staying at the room he is renting.'

Nate?! That bastard! He is going after Dominque! Did he find out that I'm here with him? That shouldn't be possible.

'[£MM902] – When did he do it?'

'[] – the challenge papers were submitted nine days ago. But there is something wrong with the papers. They were approved too fast, and with the reason, he gave it doesn't make sense that it was even considered.'

'[£MM902] – U mean that someone manipulated the process?'

'[] – Something like that. There is no trace of it on the servers, someone approved in person.'

'[£MM902] – Thanks, you guys helped me a lot.'

'[ONI123] – No problem.'

'[ManiaK] – It was a pleasure.'

'[] – It's ok, just remember to be careful.'

With their help, I now had 300 pages of information about Alexander Novakovic. From the birth certificate to the paper he wrote in college. Everything that was on the internet that he was connected to was here.

I started from the massages that he exchanged with Nate. And from them, it looked like he is working for him. After Dominque beat up his thugs, he must've investigated him. Then told Alexander to challenge him. He must have some connections in the MCA to have that challenge approved.

As for Alexander Novakovic, 25 years old, born in Belarus, migrated when he was 5. His father worked for a large company, Mother stayed at home and took care of him. Both parents died in a car accident when he was 20. At the time he was already attending the university, which appeared to be already fully paid.

It looks like his father made a sizable donation to the university when he was entering it. He barely passed after which he joined the MCA, and spent a few months doing that. Then somehow, he met with Nate that hired him and since then worked for him.

In his MCA file, it appears that he made quite a few challenges, all with weird or nonsensical reason. As far as I know, most challenges have a much better reason, like 'He caused the death of my [someone important].' But not him.

The most recent challenge was to Dominique, which was set to be next week. It appears that Nate told him to challenge Dominque to 'teach him a lesson.'

As he became an artist five years ago, his strength should be much higher then Dominique's. Based on the files from the MCA, he completed multiple missions that were aimed at rarer and stronger monsters.

Usually, the MCA issues missions for monsters that have a high reproduction rate, these are always up. Missions for other monsters show up when the population of a monster increases and needs to be decreased. It happens continuously with how many monsters there are.

This information can't be a 100% sure confirmation of his strength though. Other than controlling their population, monsters are also killed for their materials. A lot of people do that, and thanks to that the MCA can cut down their expenses while monster population stays under control.

This means that Alexander is stronger than the records of the MCA. Which show that he can kill a Vrykolakas. I don't know how strong Dominque is… but that fight doesn't seem fair.
