Just as Anthony was about to say something, he noticed a sudden change on his computer screen.
“Hold on,” he uttered, leaning forward a fraction.
A series of numbers appeared on the computer screen, but the person who sent them vanished after just a few seconds.
The only one who could have done that was the person earlier. No one else could have accomplished it.
Cosmos followed his gaze in the direction of the table. Upon seeing the numbers, his head likewise leaned forward. “What... does this mean?”
“I would also like to know what this means!” Anthony muttered.
Cosmos stared at the numbers for a while. Then, he ventured, “Could it be that he can't stand losing to you, so he's playing some tricks?”
Upon hearing that, Anthony turned his gaze to the man. “If it were you, would you do this?”
The moment those words rang out, Cosmos immediately straightened. “Of course not. If I lose, I lose. I can accept the reality!”
“How do you know they can't accept the reality of losing, then?”
“I...” Cosmos was at a loss for words for a moment. Indeed, he had no evidence to prove that the other party couldn't accept losing. However, after some thought, he felt that something was off. “Why do I feel like you're siding with him in everything you say?”
“It's not about taking sides. I'm just trying to look at things from a fair perspective!” Anthony said.
“No way!” Cosmos was not someone who was easily fooled. Hearing that, he immediately shook his head. “When I watched you guys duel earlier, you both seemed to be sympathetic toward one another. You're not really thinking of recruiting him, are you?”
Anthony pondered for a moment. “Why couldn't I?”
“We at DX Group absolutely won't accept people of unknown origin!” Cosmos declared immediately.
Anthony rolled his eyes at the man. “Who said I'd be recruiting him for you?”
“If not?”
“I'll naturally be reserving him for my own use!” Anthony answered.
His organization was still lacking someone with such a level of skill other than him.
“For your own use?” Cosmos eyeballed him. “How so?”
Even though they both worked within the same organization, the difference between Anthony and Cosmos was significant. One was an innate employee, while the other was a partner. That determined that their paths of development were destined to be different.
His world revolved around completing his tasks perfectly.
On the contrary, Anthony's world revolved around advancing toward the international arena.
With that in mind, Anthony turned to him and said, “Can you stop asking questions for now? The most important thing at the moment is to figure out the meaning of this set of numbers!”
Speaking of which, Cosmos finally refocused his thoughts, his gaze falling on the computer screen. His brows furrowed slightly. “It's just a set of numbers. What could it possibly mean?”
“Don't you find it strange that the person sent a string of numbers for no reason?” Anthony asked.
“Well... It's indeed a bit strange, but after all, he is our enemy now. He surely wouldn't be delivering us some information, would he?” Cosmos scoffed nonchalantly.
“Delivering us some information...” Anthony muttered. Subsequently, he glanced at the numbers and narrowed his eyes slightly. “It's not entirely impossible!”
Hearing that, Cosmos looked at him incredulously. “What? You believed that?”
Anthony didn't say anything further. Instead, he opened an interface, copied the numbers, and pasted them there. However, after he had opened it, it was still just a bunch of numbers and nothing more.
His brows furrowed.
Just then, Cosmos said, “That was merely an offhanded remark. It might be some IP address he sent you intentionally to lure you over. Don't take it too seriously!”
Nonetheless, a strong intuition told Anthony that there was no need for the person to do such a thing.
