His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1524 Legend of the Great Fantom (Part IV)

1524  Legend of the Great Fantom (Part IV)

Iris' voice choked a little after saying these words.

Now, it was Jin Liwei's turn to give his wife a comforting squeeze. He pulled her closer and kissed her forehead as if protecting her from the whole world.

Although she was alive and well now, and even built her own beautiful family with her loving husband, the fact that she had died in her past life could never be erased.

Evelina Vetrova, a.k.a. Fantom, indeed wanted to rest in peace after death.

Or more specifically, she had wanted to be from the suffocating prison shackling her as a member of the Vetrov family.

The others thought that she became emotional because of her master-disciple relationship with the deceased Fantom.

Grandpa Lu once again started scolding his old friends.

The nerdy tech billionaire also felt guilty. "I'm sorry, Madame Drakon. I just can't control myself when it comes to Fantom. He—I mean, she has been my idol for the longest time. Just thinking about her great feats and contributions to the world of computers, the internet, and cybersecurity is enough to make me overexcited to no end. I hope that you forgive me for wanting to know more about her. I'll respect her wishes and won't try to dig deeper about her anymore."

Iris had already controlled her emotions. She gave the man a kind smile. "Thank you."

Death, especially the death of a prestigious person who contributed to the progress of humanity in the technological age like Fantom, would always fill people with great commiseration.

Grandpa Lu finished his tirade. None of his friends uttered so much as a peep. He harrumphed in satisfaction, but the same commiseration could be seen in his old, wrinkled eyes.

Warmth filled Iris' heart. Even though she hadn't met these people in her past life, they all admired her as Fantom. She felt that perhaps she wasn't all that alone in her past life after all.

Even so, she didn't like the negative energy currently filling the atmosphere. It was too depressing. Today was supposed to be a happy day for her as the owner of Liberté.

But first, she still needed to make something clear to this group of gentlemen before she let them return to the lively party outside.

Once again, her aura changed. It was more intense than earlier.

She channelled her inner Vetrov and stared down on this group of gentlemen (except for Jin Liwei and Grandpa Lu) like a predator stalking its prey. One wrong move and she would attack before devouring them.

The nerdy tech billionaire shuddered. The older gentlemen performed much better, but they still felt discomfort under her cold, predatory gaze.

"Now that you've learned that I'm Drakon and Fantom was my…master, I hope that none of you would divulge any of the information revealed today to other people outside of this room. Or else…."

The lights in the private room flashed a few times before descending into darkness. Only a single light remained lit, dimly illuminating the room but also casting long shadows everywhere.

Before the gentlemen could react, their phones started buzzing and pinging one by one. They checked their phone and gasped.

Each of them received a threatening e-mail with attached files containing alarmingly accurate secret information about them.

Although they always tried to uphold their reputations as Cross Academy alumni, it was inevitable that they had their own secrets that they didn't want other people to discover. These secrets would taint their reputations, possibly even ruin them forever once known to the world.

They looked at the cold Iris in horror.

Grandpa Lu's friends gripped their phones, as they used their genius IQ to find some ways to escape from this dangerous predicament that they found themselves into.

In contrast to their reactions, the nerdy tech billionaire's eyes became filled with even more fervour.

"Meow! The e-mail has a signature meow at the end! This is WhiteTigress, am I right? So it's true that WhiteTigress and BlackPlanther are your disciples?!"

He didn't care at all about the threat of his deepest and darkest secrets being revealed to the whole world. All he cared about was fanboying his idol's disciples and grand disciples.

"Hah." Jin Liwei shook his head after releasing an exhausted sigh.

He finally realized that the nerdy tech billionaire posed no danger to his wife. There was no need to drown in an ocean of vinegar anymore. The other man was just another one of his wife's numerous fans, albeit a fan of her past life as the legendary hacker, Fantom.

At the mention of her AI cat children, Iris was filled with great pride and joy. Ketchup and Panther were undoubtedly her greatest creations by herself.

Of course, her twin sons could also be considered her greatest creations, but she couldn't have created them by herself without her husband's contributions. Little Mochi and Little Matcha were the products of the love between her and Jin Liwei.

On the other hand, Ketchup and Bacon were purely created by herself alone. As a computer programmer and hacker, the two AI cats were her ultimate creations.

"I knew it! So it's true." The nerdy tech billionaire saw her smile and directly concluded that his conjecture was correct. Then he made another request. "Is it possible for me to meet them? Please?"

"No!" Jin Liwei once again rejected his request before Iris could respond.

"Why?!" The nerdy tech billionaire was about to go crazy.

"No means no." Jin Liwei didn't relent.

Ketchup and Bacon were also his kids. There was no way that he would allow their real identities to be exposed to outsiders.

The other man cast another hopeful look at Iris.

"I'm sorry," she said. "WhiteTigress and BlackPanther are still…uh, minors. My husband and I are responsible for their safety and well-being."

"Minors?!" The nerdy tech billionaire was shocked.

Grandpa Lu's friends were also dumbfounded.

"How old are they?"

"They're kids," Jin Liwei said in an intimidating, cold voice. "My wife and I won't reveal anything else about them. If you still insist on digging deeper, maybe the e-mail you received just now isn't enough."

That shut them up.
