Chapter 671 Reaching Out to Spade
Day Seventy-Three...
~~*****~~
[ At Jane's Secret Hideout... ]
Jane invited Hanabi and Tatsumi over to her hideout. Cherry also joined them today. Together, they made their way into the concealed underground basement, where Jane had a stash of her computer equipment and an array of meticulously maintained weapons.
Tatsumi couldn't hide his amazement as he gazed upon Jane's impressive array of weaponry. Her daggers and guns, each marked with her engraved initials, exuded a sense of ownership and uniqueness.
"This is incredible," Tatsumi remarked, feeling a shiver of excitement just from the sight of her weapons. He turned to Jane with unwavering enthusiasm. "My lady, would you be willing to teach me the art of precision shooting? It would be an honor to learn from you, to acquire the strategies and skills needed to conquer and, if necessary, eliminate an opponent."
The request reflected Tatsumi's earnest desire to hone his abilities under the guidance of someone as skilled and formidable as Jane.ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
On the other hand, Hanabi couldn't resist approaching Tatsumi, delivering a light smack to his head. "Quit the act. You already know how to shoot. Stop bothering our sister. She's a busy woman," she scolded him with annoyance.
Tatsumi responded by narrowing his eyes and pursing his lips, casting a somewhat sardonic look at his so-called rival. "I'm tempted to use my skills on you right here and now."
Jane and Cherry couldn't help but chuckle as they observed the amusing bickering between Tatsumi and Hanabi. The two seemed to be in a perpetual verbal duel, their camaraderie built on a foundation of light-hearted banter.
Cherry intervened, offering a solution to diffuse the situation. "Let's cool off with some cold refreshments," she suggested, promptly serving each of them a frosty cola. "Both of you are on fire early in the day," she remarked, giggling once more.
Jane agreed and took one of the colas. "Let's focus on discussing important matters."
With her cue, the atmosphere in the room shifted to a more serious tone. Jane began to address their pressing concerns.
"Cherry, have you received any updates regarding Country R?" Jane inquired, entrusting Cherry with the task of monitoring Maximilian Carlsen, who had recently received the DNA results regarding Helena's identity. They awaited his reaction.
[ Sizzling August! What's happening? Am I in a dream? Is it really you, the Legendary Hacker? ]
Spade's message appeared on Cherry's computer screen, and it was clear to all of them that he was indeed a fanboy of Sizzling August.
Jane took the reins for a moment, offering a piece of information to Spade as proof of her identity. A few seconds later, Spade's response flashed on the screen once more.
[ Oh my gosh! I can't believe this! I'm talking to my idol! Why? Why did you take notice of me? You've been gone for so long. Why have you suddenly resurfaced? ] Spade inundated them with a flurry of questions. Jane pretended to be Sizzling August before when she was still in Abigail's body. Spade thought Sizzling August was a woman.
Cherry glanced at Jane, seeking guidance. "What should I say to him, sis?"
Jane just tapped her shoulders and said, "Just entertain him for a moment. Gain his trust so that he will provide you with information willingly."
"Understood!"
"Let me take over," Tatsumi sat down next to Cherry. He wanted to take part in this so without a second thought, Tatsumi snatched the keyboard from Cherry as he began to type his message for Spade.
[ I am currently in the process of assembling a skilled team for a project that aims to shake up the online world once more. I've heard of your impressive skills, and I've already enlisted Black Rose. Now, I'm in search of one more member to complete our team. Would you be interested in joining us? ]
The three women were surprised by Tatsumi's message, recognizing it as a clever cover story.
[ Of course! It's my honor to join you. Please count me in! ]
Black Rose: "..."
Jane: "..."
Hanabi: "..."
That was so fast! Spade didn't even suspect anything.
