It was a golden bonfire symbol.
Hera was stunned for a moment and murmured, "Vulcan?"
In that moment of distraction, a red alert flashed on her screen, indicating a breach in the firewall.
Hera quickly regained her composure and checked the code alert. She then promptly removed the USB flash drive, kept her laptop, and left ten dollars on the table before leaving.

In Astral Nova's Skyscraper, Bernard successfully pinpointed the opponent's location and swiftly browsed through his files. Just as he was about to copy them, all the stacked windows on the screen suddenly turned gray.
The next second, that person disconnected.
"Next door café," he said to Samson.
Samson promptly brought his people to the café. As expected, they didn't find anyone suspicious.
After Samson reported the situation to Bernard, he planned to find the café manager to check the surveillance.
Just then, Bernard's voice came through the phone. "Don't bother checking. Someone has already tampered with it."
It wasn't just the café's surveillance that had been tampered with. Even the street cameras that had a view of the café had been turned off beforehand.
Bernard's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. He smiled as his eyes gleamed with excitement.
He had successfully infiltrated Raven's computer, but the other party had clearly anticipated that. Hence, there was no information to be found.
He found the whole scenario growing more intriguing.
Raven had been persistently taunting and testing him. However, Bernard didn't want to catch him too soon, or it would ruin the fun.

Meanwhile, Hera had already hopped into a cab. Her gaze was calm, but in her mind, she kept replaying the bonfire symbol she had just seen and the discussion about another person hacking on Cyber Web earlier.
She began to harbor a series of suspicions. Could that person be Vulcan? Was the grandmaster of Astral Nova Vulcan? Was Queenie's death also related to him?
It was no wonder Hera couldn't beat him in both attempts to infiltrate. After all, he was a formidable opponent, just like S.
