Chapter 388 Mr. Hodges was secretly very proud.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke up, “Stop looking.”
Ray was puzzled, “Why?”
“Because you won’t find them, and even if you do, they won’t work for you!” Hugo said.
Ray frowned, “How do you know?”
“I just know.”
“Do you know them?” Ray asked, sensing something.
Hugo lowered his gaze, instinctively hiding the truth, “No, I don’t.”
“Then how can you be sure they won’t work for me?”

“You said it yourself, you’ve been searching for years. Don’t you think they know you’re looking? There’s only one
possibility–they won’t work for you!” Hugo explained.
Ray furrowed his brow, clearly swayed by Hugo’s words. After thinking it over, he spoke coldly, “Even so, I can’t give up. Everyone else is searching too. If I give up, others will have a chance. Shadow Walker and the Anonymous better stay smart, like they are now, not making any moves. Otherwise, any action will attract all kinds of organizations hunting them
down, and things won’t be as peaceful as they are now.”
Hugo’s eyes darkened, “What about you?”
“What?”
“If Shadow Walker gets recruited by someone else, what will you do?” Hugo asked.
Ray’s jaw tightened, a sharp glint flashing in his deep eyes as he looked up at Hugo. “The same decision as anyone else
would make!”
“What decision?”

“Eliminate them quickly!” Ray said. “I won’t give them a chance to strike against me.”
Hugo squinted slightly.
He was beginning to understand why Scarlett had hidden her identity, but he also understood what Scarlett’s honesty
with him meant.
Lowering his gaze, Hugo looked at Ray, a slight smile playing on his lips. “Likewise, you won’t have that chance either.”
Though they hadn’t seen each other in years, Ray believed he knew Hugo well enough to know he wouldn’t say such
things without reason. He looked at him and asked, “What do you mean?”
Hugo thought for a moment. “I mean, don’t even think about it. She’s not someone you can just consider.”
Ray sensed there was more to his words. “J, do you really not know Shadow Walker?”
To Ray, Hugo was almost like a legend. When they founded DX together, Hugo always managed to surprise him, making
the impossible seem possible.
Over time, it became a habit to expect the unexpected from him.
If he knew Shadow Walker… well, it wasn’t entirely impossible.
But after a moment, Hugo confidently replied, “I don’t know him.”
Ray thought for a moment. “Then why can’t I think he might?”
“Because Shadow Walker would never join any organization.”
“How do you know?”
Hugo glanced at Chris. “This is something everyone in the hacker world knows. You can ask him.”
Chris nodded vigorously. “Yes, Shadow Walker did say on Hacker Web that he would never join any organization. He even
made a solemn vow, so I believe he really won’t!” As he spoke, Chris’s eyes sparkled with admiration.
Ray frowned at this. “So what if he made a vow? If vows were truly effective, we wouldn’t need the police.”

“Brother Ray, it might be hard for you to believe, but in the hacker world, we all trust him. After all, he’s like a god to us
hackers!” Chris said, his expression showing the fervor of someone defending their idol.
Hugo listened quietly, his handsome features softened, with a hint of a smile playing at his lips and a touch of pride in his
expression.
He looked up at Chris, “From the way you talk, you admire them too?”
“Of course,” Chris replied with a smile. “They’re my idols.”
“Do you admire Shadow Walker more or the Anonymous?” Hugo asked.
“Uh…” Chris hesitated, unsure how to answer. “Well, they’re both top–notch. I admire them both…”
“If you had to choose one?” Hugo pressed.
“Um…”
Hugo watched him, clearly wanting an answer.
The Anonymous couldn’t possibly compare to Scarlett Adler!
Chris furrowed his brow, feeling torn.
At this point, Ray couldn’t help but chime in, “What’s there to be torn about? It’s not like choosing will change anything.”
Hearing this, Hugo spoke up, “Maybe it will?”
“What do you mean?”
“What if… one of them decides to take him on as a protégé?” Hugo suggested.
Chris’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Really, truly?”
Ray glanced at Hugo, looking even more puzzled.
However, Hugo spoke up, “I was just saying ‘if.”

Chris sighed, “If only that ‘if could come true.”
“Having dreams might just make them happen,” Hugo suggested.
Chris chuckled, “Forget about being taken as a disciple; I’d be content just to see the master in person.”
Hugo remained silent.

Ray watched Hugo’s expression closely. With years of friendship between them, Ray was sure Hugo knew Shadow
Walker!
But since Hugo didn’t say anything, Ray decided not to press further.
He understood Hugo’s nature well and was certain that even though Hugo had left DX, he would never let anyone threater
its existence.
What was there to worry about?
Ray shifted his gaze to Chris. “And what about the Anonymous?”
Talking business, Chris immediately became serious. “As for the Anonymous, rumor has it in the hacker community that
he’s joined an organization.”
When Ray heard the news, his brow furrowed immediately. “Joined which organization?”
“Seems like it’s the Dark Web, but we haven’t got any official confirmation,” Chris said. “So we’re not sure if it’s true.”
Dark Web?
Hugo’s brow furrowed as well.
Was it just a coincidence?
Ray, however, let out a cold smile, “Dark Web again!”
He glanced at Hugo. “That’s your old rival, isn’t it?”
Hugo lowered his gaze. “That’s all in the past.”

“You might have moved on, but they might not have,” Ray said. “I’ve heard that Homer Finch has been asking around about you. If you hadn’t gone off the grid, he probably would have come looking for you by now.”
Hugo’s frown deepened. This was exactly one of his concerns.
If First joined the Dark Web, and they found out about their connection…
Hugo’s brow was tightly knit. He needed to sort things out here quickly and then have a serious talk with First.

Seeing Hugo’s silence and his face growing darker, Ray spoke up, “What’s wrong? You’re not scared, are you?”
“Scared?” Hugo looked up, a hint of menace flashing in his eyes. “Are you joking?”
Ray chuckled, “Why don’t you just make a comeback? Instead of waiting around, take the initiative and reclaim the Dark
