Out Of The Shadows Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Childish

But he was wearing a bright floral suit. It didn’t match the serious equipment behind him at all.

“You are…”

“Oh, let me introduce myself first. I’m Benedict Lamb. This is my brother, Wesley Lamb. He thinks his name sounds lame, so he always tells people to call him Knight.

“Ha! Don’t you think he sounds a little childish? He never grows up. By the way, my codename is Bacchus.”

Benedict casually ruffled Wesley’s hair.

Wesley didn’t say anything.

Damn!

Is this really my brother?

He just turned and sold out all my identity like that!

The members of Comet Squad were all stunned.

Childish?

You’re acting way more childish than Wesley!

Bacchus? What do you think you are, some kind of hero?

Still, that codename sounded familiar.

“In 2001, two hackers managed to resist Motrar’s cyber attack by themselves,” someone said. “Back then, Cetherland’s networks and systems were still primitive.

“They also planted a worm that crashed Motrar’s firewall. It took a month to fix all the follow- up holes.

“One hacker used the codename Bacchus. The other had no codename, so people called him Mystery X.

“After that fight, those two Cetherland hackers shocked the world. Then they vanished from the public eye very quickly. Nobody heard from them again.”

Alfie said in surprise, “2001? It’s 2030 now. That’s 29 years ago.”

Jarrett’s eyes lit up. “Oh! I remember! The Cetherland Hacker Chronicles recorded those two hackers who appeared like comets and disappeared.”

Astrid replied, “I can’t believe they were recruited by the state to head the National Cyber Security Center … and they’re twin brothers!”

Zach added, “They look so young.”

Zach hit the point.

If normal people saw these two on the street, they’d never guess they were in their 50s. They’d think the men were about 20, maybe taking the SAT.

Benedict’s mouth curved into a small smile. “I’m surprised the Queen still remembers us. We’re honored.”

“Young people are better now. Back then, we noticed the Hotel Morloss incident too.

Even with a soft, baby face, the power he radiated was undeniable.

Jarrett and the others straightened up when they felt it.

“Next … let’s talk terms.”

Tilda nodded. “Start.”

“We have a case. I want you to destroy the target’s network system in one day. Erase all the evidence.

“You can talk with your team first to decide if you’ll take the case…

“No need. We’ll take it now!”

Tilda’s answer was decisive. No hesitation.

“Yes. If we get the chance, we must take it!”

“If we finish this case, does that meet your conditions for our action?” Jarrett and the others asked.

“Of course,” Benedict said.

That settled it.

Tilda notified Manfred and quickly led Comet Squad back to Slosa.
