Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 276

It had only been three days. Was Binary Oracle really that good?

He finally understood why Juniper looked down on Cybernetic Shadows. They really were second-rate. Shanley needed to get his house in order, or they’d get crushed by Binary Oracle again at this year’s hacker competition.

Jimmie quickly entered his password and paid the fee. He wondered if Binary Oracle had found his older or younger brother… It had been so long, he couldn't remember his place in the birth order. His brothers probably didn’t remember either. In that case, he would just be the eldest brother. The eldest brother had more authority.

A man’s status in the world is what he makes it!

Right, he should tell Juniper the news first. After the payment went through, Jimmie eagerly texted her: [Juniper, I found your other brother, my younger brother.]

Juniper blinked, pondering his message. Well, now someone should suggest the two of them have a fight to decide who gets to be the oldest.

Juniper replied: [I’m at the racing association. Come here in ten minutes.]

...

Meanwhile, Shanley, having finished his work, was striding out of the office.

“I heard the racing association is closed today. Right now, it’s just Ms. Payne and Melvin inside,” Flint reported, jogging to keep up. “They’ve been in there for almost an hour, and all the security cameras are off, so… we don’t know what’s happening.”

Flint’s heart pounded in his chest. This felt exactly like a scene from a movie where someone was about to catch a cheating spouse. How exciting!

An hour? Shanley pulled out his phone to call Juniper, but it went straight to voicemail.

Of course it did. At that moment, Juniper had switched cards and was messaging Melvin and Jimmie under her Binary Oracle identity.

Voicemail? The news made Shanley’s face even darker, and he broke into a near run.

“Quick, keep up!” Felton urged Flint, sensing the urgency.

“Our boss looks like he’s about to kill someone,” Flint shuddered, the hair on his arms standing on end. “We’ve done our fair share of dirty work, but this is the first time we’ve been on a cheater hunt.”

It was, he had to admit, a novel experience.

...

Ten minutes passed.
