Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 390

A tense expression crossed Dave's face when he heard Miguel's words. “What do you mean?”

“Someone hacked into the Overseer System and tracked where your car was heading from the airport. I'm guessing that you are being followed,” Miguel informed with a stern expression.

Dave and Kenneth exchanged worried glances at the same time.

“Can we find out who it is?” Dave asked grimly.

Miguel shook his head. “Our men tried to track the perpetrator but failed. Whoever the hacker is, he's more skilled than us and swiftly withdrew once he knew we were on to him.”

Narrowing his eyes, Dave inquired curiously, “If the hacker is as sophisticated as you say, why was he discovered when hacking into the Overseer System? Miguel, I remember that no one noticed when you hacked into it the last time.”

“I was thinking about this inconsistency too. There can only be two possibilities. Firstly, someone noticed the network freezing. Secondly...”

“What is it?” Dave asked.

“The hacker deliberately left tracks for us to find,” Kenneth suggested.

Miguel glanced at Kenneth before nodding in agreement. “These are the only two possibilities.”

Dave broke into a smile. “It looks like the party in Spaunia is getting livelier.” Just as he spoke, he looked in Kenneth's direction. “J, do you think I'm the target or you?”

Kenneth wasn't surprised by the question. “Is there a difference?”

“Of course there is. I can't allow a friend on a rare visit to be dragged into my affairs,” Dave answered.

An indiscernible glint flashed across Kenneth's eyes. “I'm afraid I'm the one who got you involved.”

“Do you mean he could be from Vermillion Base?” Dave asked but quickly answered his own question. “That's unlikely. If they knew who you were, I probably would have heard of it. Besides, how would Boss, who's extremely busy now, have time to keep an eye on you?”

“He doesn't have to because he knows that I would definitely come,” Kenneth remarked with certainty.

“Are you saying that it was his men?” Dave asked.

Kenneth shook his head. “I can't say. It feels more like an entirely new faction.”

Dave's eyes narrowed. “That's what my hunch says too. If it were Boss, he would have openly declared war instead of using such clandestine methods. Furthermore, he would let us know that he was watching us.”

Kenneth concurred with a nod.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they wracked their brains, they couldn't think of anyone else.

Dave looked at him. “Aren't you supposed to be retired? How did you end up offending so many people?”

Kenneth quipped, “I can't help being born attractive.”

“That's true. You never fail to attract enemies!” Dave teased.

Not disputing the statement, Kenneth curled his lips in response. After all, he couldn't deny that was largely how his life turned out to be.

At that moment, Dave broke into a mischievous smile. “From my perspective, it seems that God is on my side. Look at how many experts are gathered here. Fate has evidently brought you here to help me take them all down. Say, do you think DX will stand at the top once all of them are wiped out?”

Kenneth was cognizant that when Dave mentioned “all of them,” it naturally included Shadow Seeker.

Kenneth calmly reminded him, “Be careful of getting carried away, for you might end up biting off more than you can chew.”

Dave ignored the warning with a smile. “With you around, what have I to fear? Furthermore, peace has reigned too long in Spaunia. It's time to shake things up a little.” At that moment, a bloodthirsty glint faintly flashed across Dave's eyes.

Kenneth threw him a glance without making a comment.
