"Soon, soon..."

But the other half just responded in such a superficial way.

In a gangster stronghold somewhere, the answering machine was beeping. The place was full of bullet holes and blood. The brain of every gangster was pierced by some sharp weapon. Their cheap prostheses naturally could not save their lives. They were already dead.

And their murderer is now on top of a building next to the Hound Gang's harbor, staring at his target with dark red pupils across the night.

The tight combat suit made of nano materials is designed according to the owner's preferences, with the styles of a long dress and over-the-knee high-heeled boots, which can fully display the user's attractive tall figure without affecting practicality while improving the viewing experience.

A golden pendant was hung around his neck with interest, and his face was covered with a black electronic mask, with his pupils dyed red with blood.

These are the killers who make up the group known as the "Princess of Thorns," the killers employed by the Shinomiya Group, who are feared by the world of killers.

"That's right. The lady boss of the seafood store was very welcoming. My mom just helped to move some things, and she drove me there."

Joel doesn't like to lie, but his job is not suitable for children after all, and he can't let Anya know.

With this thought in mind, she told the story she had thought of on the way home.

"Yeah, Anya, you should learn from your mother and help others more in the future!"

Looking at Anya's innocent and lovely smile, Yoel felt that his body and mind were healed, and all the fatigue of the day had been washed away.

The days she spent with Anya were the happiest time for her since she was sent to Newland by the eldest lady.

Chapter 3 A Day Full of Majesty

"Master, please don't do this. It will bother me."

"No, let me have some, S."

With long golden hair falling from mid-air, Albert gently stroked the little face of his personal secretary.

S, 21 years old, works as Albert's exclusive secretary in Hermes Technologies. She is also Albert's maid and housekeeper. She has a clean background and has been trained as a die-hard by the elite since childhood. She is only loyal to Albert.

The two were so close that Albert could even hear the secretary's slightly disordered breathing.

"Master..."

The wine-red pupils tried hard to suppress the emotions in her heart, but the delicate face, which had already turned red, had already revealed everything.

If it weren't for the prosthetic organs in her body that could accurately help S control the secretion of hormones, this capable secretary might have already gone viral.

At this time, the two were walking on the steps of the mansion. S, who was tall and dressed in butler's clothes, held Albert's thin body in his arms with both arms, and experienced the unique charm of Albert mixed with the divinity of a higher-dimensional creature from a close distance.

Of course, teasing S was just a momentary prank. The real prey was not her, but the person who was sitting restlessly in the hall under the stairs.

……

Lucy, a similar flower in this complex world.

21 years old, a professional hacker, to be more precise, a hacker produced by Hermes Technology. Of course, it is not a formal on-the-job training, but a black industry that kidnaps and abducts talented poor children.

In a sense, Lucy's background is quite similar to S's, but one experienced mass production and the other experienced customization.

"Hello, Miss Lucy, I believe this is the first time we meet."

The elegant butler S gently placed his master on the luxurious sofa opposite the girl and stepped aside.

She observed the young woman, who had short light-colored gradient hair and was dressed slightly revealingly, giving her a cyber street girl vibe.

"Does the young master like this tune?"

This thought flashed through the shrewd S's mind.

Putting aside the whimsical housekeeper, Lucy was definitely not in a good mood at the moment, because she was abducted by force. That's right, she was subdued by several big men in invisible camouflage just after returning to the apartment. She was given an anesthetic injection and lost consciousness before she could use her proud hacking skills.

"..."

In silence, Lucy looked at the slightly well-behaved blonde "girl" sitting on the sofa in front of her. She was a little dazed. For a moment, she couldn't connect the beautiful things in front of her with the unforgivable villain who kidnapped her.

"Well, I haven't had the chance to introduce myself yet. My name is Albert, and I am currently the president of your former employer, Hermes Technologies."

With a casual and frivolous tone, Albert also lay down on the sofa.

"Albert..."

Lucy came back from her daze and started to think about the name. She seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but Albert's next words shocked her.

"Hermes Technology!!!"

Lucy's biggest enemy, the person she hated the most in her life, this "beautiful girl" in front of her was actually the president of Hermes Technology! ?

"and many more,"

She recalled that she had heard the name of Albert there.

News: Following the death of the Hermes couple, the company's new president has been confirmed to be Albert Hermes...

The look that was originally filled with admiration and doubt was instantly swallowed up by hatred and anger. Lucy wished she could just jump up and kill Albert in front of her right now.

"Oh, it seems that Miss Lucy has a lot of misunderstandings about me."

Sensing the hostility that suddenly erupted from the other party, Albert showed a charming smile.

But Lucy was obviously not stupid. She also understood that since Albert dared to appear in front of her so unscrupulously, she would not have any chance to hurt him. Also, the prosthetic network in her brain was disconnected. It seemed that the hacker's technical means had also been blocked by the other party.

"What do you want, Miss Albert?"

Lucy suppressed her overwhelming hatred and managed to squeeze out a few words.

"Oh, it seems that Miss Lucy is not mute. In this case, we know each other. How about I just call you Lucy?"

Albert played with his hair casually.

"Not at all..."

Talk less, this is the strategy Lucy gave herself, because she didn't know the other party's intention. But it was obvious that after she was captured, she was not dealt with on the spot by the intelligence department of Hermes Technology, but was sent to Albert without paying attention to the main point. So the other party must have some plan for her.

Otherwise, someone like her who is regarded as a mass-production tool would be considered a defector, and Hermes Technologies would usually be too lazy to pay any attention to her, let alone send out troops equipped with invisible camouflage to capture her.

"So Lucy, I took the liberty of looking for you today because I wanted to propose you a deal."

"trade?"

Lucy praised her own cleverness. The other party did have some plans, but at the same time, she was a little worried. Trading with a ruthless guy like Hermes Technology was definitely like courting disaster. She didn't want to get involved again.

"It's more like an opportunity than a deal. An opportunity for you to get revenge."

"A chance for revenge?"

Hearing this, Lucy didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Her enemy is you, Hermes Technology. Even if she wants revenge, she will seek revenge on you beasts!

"..."

Albert noticed Lucy's thoughts and continued, "Colum Scott, the leader of the Hermes Technology Intelligence Department and the person in charge of training the hacker team, was the one who initiated and controlled the plan that destroyed your family. Now this guy is still living a comfortable life. As a survivor, don't you plan to do something?"

"Ha ha……"

Lucy was sure that Albert was right and Columbus was her number one enemy, but what could she do about it?

"I reject!"

As if she wanted to see Albert's astonished expression, Lucy's eyes revealed anticipation.

After all, she is not stupid. This kind of excuse shows that she is being used as cannon fodder in the internal strife of her own company. Even if she is lucky enough to survive, there is an 80% chance that she will be used as an object to shirk responsibility. Lucy would rather die than be a dog of Hermes Technology again!

"Well, that's what I expected. I was right about Miss Lucy. If you had agreed to me directly, I would have suspected that there was some conspiracy."

To Lucie's disappointment, there was no change in Albert's relaxed demeanor.

Albert glanced at S behind him, and the other party immediately understood what he meant. He bent down and placed a data card on the table, in front of Lucy.

"Miss Lucy, here is 10 million. Consider it my apology for inviting you here without permission."

"You can use the money as you wish."

Seeing Albert being so generous, Lucy was a little at a loss for a moment. Could it be that the other party had some conspiracy?

Looking at the 10 million within her reach, Lucy swallowed subconsciously. Although she was not a money-loving person, such a huge sum of money was enough to realize her unattainable little dream, to leave Newland and go to a place where Hermes would never find her, to no longer live in fear, like an ordinary person...

At this point, her hand was already on the data card.

"Pick it up and live your dream."

Albert's gentle voice was so bewitching that Lucy seemed to have a vision of a beautiful future life before her eyes.

But the next second, Lucy woke up suddenly, her fingers pressed hard on the data card, and she didn't pick it up for several seconds.

“Use it to buy your dreams!”

Using all her strength, Lucy pushed the data card in front of Albert.

"hu~hu~"

With a gentle gasp, Lucie shrank her sweat-soaked body back, and her beautiful blue eyes stared at Albert vigilantly, as if the boy lying in front of her was a charming devil.

“It’s really… boring.”

Albert was helpless as he did not get the desired result. He gently picked up the data card with his slender fingertips and exerted force...

There is nothing wrong with the card...

Albert: “?”

Lucy: “?”

S: “?!”

"Leave this matter to me, Master."

S hurried forward, took the data card from Albert, broke it in two with a "snap", and threw it into the garbage disposal.

"Okay, okay, I'm tired, let's stop here for today."

Albert also stood up from the sofa and motioned for S to pick him up.

Looking at Lucy, who was trying hard to hold back her laughter and had a ruddy face, he waved his hand and said irritably, "Miss Lucy, please do as you please. If you want to leave, just go through the main gate. Someone will see you off and you won't be in any danger."

Albert stretched out a finger and pointed it at his own pretty face with a smile, "Also, Miss Lucy, I'm a boy."

After saying that, S carried Albert upstairs, leaving Lucy standing there with a dazed look on her face.

Chapter 4: The Shadow of the Shinomiya Foundation

In the cheap rental house, everything was still in the mess it had been in after the fight.

There were already four or five cigarette butts piled up in the trash can. Lucy sat by the open window, smoking in the evening breeze, but her mind was still in a mess.

Today's experience caused an inexplicable feeling of irritability to grow in her heart.

Lucy pinched out the cigarette in her hand and turned to look at the night view outside the window. The rapidly interlaced neon lights flashed before her eyes.

Newland, the city that never sleeps, is adjacent to the ocean and the desert, rich and poor, ugly and beautiful, and countless extremes are entangled in it. Lucy hates this city to the extreme, but when she wants to leave, she feels unwilling to leave.

She was fed up.

Lucy put on a device that looked somewhat like headphones and connected it to the port behind her neck via a data cable.

Super Dream equipment, the latest imaging technology, can put the user into the perspective and senses of the photographer and experience what the photographer has experienced.

When Lucy opened her eyes again, she saw a vast expanse of space before her and grayish-white lunar soil under her feet.

…………

"Master, why don't you keep her?"

While making tea for Albert, S expressed his doubts.

"You mean Lucy?"

Albert weighed the teacup in his hand, pretending to be mature despite his childish appearance.

"That's right. Miss Lucy was once a hacker secretly trained by the intelligence department. We can use her to deal with Colen."

Albert drank the tea in his cup and listened to the housekeeper's analysis.

"S, you think too much."

The master's words were obviously beyond S's expectations. She looked at Albert's delicate and lovely profile in confusion.

"Colon is a vicious snake. He is a serious threat to us. He is not a character that Lucy can handle right now."

"And I don't just want to deal with him."
