Bonnie's fingers danced quickly across the keyboard of her notebook. Suddenly, her eyes froze.
Collin asked curiously when he noticed her hesitation, "Chief, what's wrong?"
Bonnie turned the notebook screen towards him. "Just as I suspected, after transferring Falcon, their next step is to crack the chip. It seems Falcon tried to break the last two layers of encryption but failed.
“Now, Billy has posted on the dark web to recruit experts by offering a huge reward for deciphering the code. Though he didn't explicitly mention the chip, I can tell that's what he's referring to."
Collin followed her gaze, saw the price Billy offered, and scoffed. "Hmph, only 8 million? Billy is seriously underestimating our organization's research. The Dark Knight Organization paid Falcon 1.6 billion for our chip, and Billy is offering just 8 million?"
Bonnie rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Your focus is peculiar. Don't you understand my point?"
Collin scratched the back of his head. "I honestly don't quite understand what you're saying."
Bonnie gave him a big, exasperated eye roll while shaking her head. "What I mean is, this is our chance! With Billy openly recruiting experts, it's the perfect time for us to infiltrate. I’ve decided to pose as a hacker and infiltrate their organization to retrieve the chip."
Collin immediately objected. "Do you remember how dangerous it was for Yasmine when she hypnotized Billy? You’d be going deep into their organization. If you're discovered, it will be hazardous, and we don't even know if you'll make it out."
He shook his head vehemently. "No, no, it's too dangerous. You can't go."
"I'm different from Yasmine," Bonnie said, narrowing her long, phoenix-like eyes. "Her hypnosis skills are excellent, but she lacks in other areas. I'm more cautious and skilled than she is. If I say I can do it, I’m confident in succeeding."
She raised her chin and showed her proud expression. "You know I never undertake anything I'm not sure of."
Collin frowned and opened his mouth to say something but reconsidered. Thinking about Bonnie's safety, he swallowed his words and continued to persuade her.
"It's just too dangerous. You can't go! If something happens to you, what about me? What about the people in the organization? Think about Mr. Ivor. You don't want him to be a widower so soon after getting married, do you?"
"What are you saying?" Bonnie was exasperated. "Widower? What kind of expression is that?"
"Anyway, I just don't want you to risk yourself," Collin insisted, his frown deepening. He decided silently and said, "How about letting me go? I promise to complete the task."
Bonnie raised her eyebrows upon hearing this.
