Day Fourteen…

[ Country M: At Red Dragon's Headquarters ]

The Dragon Lord had just arrived at the headquarters after closing the deal with another faction. This time they were involved in narcotics trafficking.

The Red Dragon Mafia was trying to invade the territory of the Syphiruz Mafia. They conducted several secret operations in Syphiruz's turf.

It seemed that the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz Mafia had been silent for a long time. He didn't make any offensive against other factions. The last time they showed their ruthlessness was when they annihilated the Phantom Assassin Guild.

The new Dragon Lord was conducting business as much as he liked without the interference of the other mafia syndicates. He was grabbing this chance as the Supreme Leader of Syphiruz was being inactive.

Little did they know, the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz had been focusing on medical research, manufacturing drugs that could revive Phantomflake.

After showing everyone his wrath, Nathan decided not to attack other factions as long as they wouldn't try to sabotage Syphiruz's operation.

But it seemed that someone was searching for trouble. The new Dragon Lord wanted to challenge the Syphiruz Mafia. He had been making moves that would provoke the Syphiruz Mafia.

He was determined to bring Syphiruz down. He was recruiting people who had deep enmity and resentment against the Syphiruz. That's why he became interested in Black Rose after finding out she was alive.

The Dragon Lord proceeded to his office to take a rest. Seconds later, Spade entered the room as he was summoned by him.

"Any news from Black Rose?" Dragon Lord asked Spade. He leaned his back on his chair and glanced at him. He looked exhausted.

"I already set a trap. I'm waiting for her to take the bait. Don't worry, My Lord. I feel like I will be able to communicate with her soon," Spade said, reassuring his Boss.

"Alright. I will leave that to you. We know that the Syphiruz Mafia has a strong defense and anti-hacker system. If you can recruit Black Rose, I think both of you can work together to break their System." Dragon Lord wanted to defeat the Syphiruz Mafia no matter what. As of now, Syphiruz was at the top of the ladder among the biggest organizations in the underground world.

"I will do my best, my Lord. I don't want to disappoint you. I will be able to break their defense sooner or later!" Spade was confident in himself.

But Dragon Lord suddenly burst into laughter. "Don't underestimate the Syphiruz, Spade."

Spade furrowed his eyebrow, feeling curious about something. "My Lord, can I ask you something?"

The Dragon Lord just waved his hand, allowing him to ask questions. "Do you know who their programmer is? The person who created their anti-hacker defense system. I think I can try to connect with him, make friends and deceive him."

The Dragon Lord fell silent for a moment and a cold glint flashed through his eyes.

​ "Have you heard of the name SizzlingAugust08?" The Dragon Lord mumbled. There was a hint of bitterness as he mentioned that name.

Spade's eyes widened as soon as he heard that. Who wouldn't know that name? In the world of hackers and computer programmers, there was once a King and his username was SizzlingAugust08. He was known to everyone. He was like a legendary person who suddenly disappeared without a trace.

SizzlingAugust08 shook the internet world numerous times, flaunting his heavenly skills that no one could match at that time.

Spade gazed at Dragon Lord, gasping. "No way! My Lod, Don't tell me… SizzlingAugust08 is the one who programmed the defense system of the Syphiruz Mafia?! Is he still alive?"

The Dragon Lord nodded his head in response to his query

Spade was enthralled by this discovery. He had been dreaming of meeting the legendary SizzlingAugust08. In fact, he was his idol.

'Damn! If he is the programmer of the Syphiruz Mafia, then… I will have a long way to go to break this system. I really need Black Rose's help!' Spade thought to himself. A while ago he was very confident but now, after mentioning SizzlingAugust08, he humbled himself down. Spade was aware of his capability.

Trying to recruit Black Rose on their side was a good move. They were on the right track. Because Black Rose learned her skill from Phantomflake who was a mentee of SizzlingAugust08 before. Although, the Red Dragon Mafia and the Dragon Lord didn't know about this connection at all.

Seeing the mixed emotions in Spade's eyes, the Dragon Lord let out another chuckle. "Don't be discouraged, Spade. I believe in your skill. You can surpass SizzlingAugust08. He is no longer that active… because of a very traumatic incident," The Dragon Lord said meaningfully, his lips curling up in a sinister smirk.

"A traumatic incident?" Spade had become more intrigued about SizzlingAugust08 and his story.

"My Lord, do you know him personally?" Spade asked Dragon Lord expectantly. "Do you know the real identity of SizzlingAugust08?"

The Dragon Lord just gave him a mysterious smile. He didn't confirm nor deny it.

Spade wanted to ask more questions about the Legendary Hacker when the Dragon Lord's phone suddenly rang. It was an overseas call coming from Jack 'the Hitman'.

"Hello, Jack? What's the situation there?" The Dragon Lord motioned Spade to stay quiet.

Spade could only scratch his head. 'Damn Jack! You interrupt me from asking more questions. What bad timing do you have here?!' He pouted his lips, lamenting. He just stayed silent from the side.

"My Lord, I just arrived here at Country F. And I have a piece of news from you."

"Go on," Dragon Lord promptly responded.

"It seems that something happened to Nathan Sparks even before I reached the country. I just found out that he was admitted to the hospital. His security tightened as of this moment. According to my intel, an unknown person attacked him last night in the Royal Night Club."

The Dragon Lord erupted into a peal of laughter after hearing that. "Haha! It looks like I am not the only one who is after his life."
