Chapter 83 [Bonus Chapter] Mr. X
[ Golden City: Vampire's Headquarters…]
The Branch Leader was currently talking to the other vampires, asking them about the progress of their search for the vampire who attacked the Triple W members in Northleaf Timberland Forest.
"Did you find the vampire? Did someone step up, admitting his action? We are not here to punish him or her for breaking the command of the Main HQ. We just want to know what happened. And that vampire will become another great warrior for our army."
"Forgive us, our Lord. 24 hours had passed after spreading the news but no one claimed among our members that he or she was the one who fought the werewolves."
The branch leader looked skeptical, wondering who was the vampire behind that attack. He paced back and forth in front of the other vampires.
It did not take long when one vampire raised their other concern.
"Our Lord, we still have a much more serious concern that we need to solve. What are we going to do with the 20 vampire prisoners? We only have 45 hours left before the deadline. Are we going to save them?"
The branch leader stopped on his track, facing them. They saw a slight flicker of uncertainty for a moment behind his eyes, then it had gone in an instant.
He didn't want to show them that this was a hopeless case. They were not strong enough to infiltrate the Triple W Headquarters just to save the 20 vampire prisoners.
If they tried to save them, there was a great possibility that they would have more casualties on their sides. Even the rescue team would end up dying in the hands of the werewolves.
The security of Triple W headquarters was very tight. Even the members from the main HQ hadn't tried infiltrating the werewolf's den. It was too risky. So rescuing those vampires inside that headquarters would be like a suicidal mission.
"I am still waiting for the advice of the higher-ups from the main headquarters. We can't do the rescue mission alone. We need an elite team that is strong and sneaky enough to infiltrate the Triple W Headquarters without getting caught." The Branch Leader responded to the vampire's query.
The other vampires looked at each other with solemn expressions on their faces. Their Branch Leader was right. They couldn't match up the werewolves' and witches' forces inside their main headquarters. It was their turf so it was very disadvantageous for the vampires.
"If the main headquarters will refuse to send a rescue team, does it mean… our 20 fellow vampires will die after the deadline given to us by Triple W?"
The room was engulfed by deafening silence. A glazed look of despair began to spread over their faces as reality began to sink into them. They already knew the possible outcome of this situation. Were they truly helpless and hopeless? They wished for a miracle to happen.
'Please… someone… help our fellow vampires. We don't want to lose their precious lives.'

[ Zhou Empire… ]
While the other vampires were getting anxious and problematic just thinking about the vampire prisoners who were about to get executed by Triple W, Marceline and Kira were currently finding a solution to that problem.
Marceline summoned one of the talented IT personnel of the Zhou Empire. She requested her grandfather to allow her to borrow a particular employee under their IT Team.
Marceline was one of the few people who knew about this genius guy who had excellent hacking skills.
Before he became an employee of the Zhou Empire, this guy was known as the infamous Mr. X who brought chaos to the online world in the year 2018 when he spread a malicious malware virus nationwide attacking the different security systems of the big banks. His real name was Xyon Lim, 22 years old.
Marceline was the one who recommended him to her grandpa. She admired his talent so when she caught him she made a deal with him. She hired him to become part of the Zhou Empire in exchange for her silence. She would never tell the authorities that he was the Master Hacker, Mr. X.
"Young Miss… I heard that you need my help. What is it all about?" Xyon regarded her with somber curiosity.
"Yes. I want you to do something for me. This is a very important and confidential mission. I will pay you five times… just make sure to do your job well," Marceline responded with her authoritative voice.
'Five times?!! It looks like this is not an ordinary mission. Hmm. I guess my genius computer skills will be tested on this. I'm so excited!' Xyon raised his head, eyeing her with startled interest.
"I'm in! Just tell me what I need to do, Big Boss!" Xyon blurted out in his exhilarated voice. He was used to calling her Big Boss if they were not in the office. That's how he usually addressed Marceline.
Marceline's lips tugged upward in a satisfied smile. She could tell that Xyon was very excited about this mission. It's been so long since the last time he used his god-like skills in computers.
Aside from the pay, he was looking forward to applying and making use of his talents once again. He lay low for several years as the police authorities continued searching and hunting him. He belonged to the most wanted Cyber Criminal!
"Tonight… an hour before midnight… I want you to hack the security system of Triple W. Show me your talent. Do you think you can do it, Mr. X?" Marceline asked Xyon expectantly.
"Oh my God! Big Boss, seriously?! Hacking Triple W Security System, the top-notch Security Agency in the whole country!"
"Yes… their security system."
After getting her confirmation, Xyon burst out laughing.
"Oh, God. Finally! I am dying to do this. But because you told me to lie low, I restrained myself from doing it. Thank you Big Boss for giving me this mission. I would gladly do this! Hmm. This will be a piece of cake. Trust me, Big Boss. I will not let you down."
Marceline smiled inwardly. She already expected this kind of reaction from Xyon. She told him her plan and instructed him what he needed to do. Xyon caught up with her instructions right away. Before leaving Marceline's office, he reassured her once again that he would fulfill his task properly.
