Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 285:

Norah triumphantly seized the top spot on the hacking leaderboard, dethroning C and reigning supreme as the number one hacker. For years before Norah’s rise, C had maintained dominion over the leaderboard with unwavering skill.

Norah, however, paid little attention to the individuals populating the leaderboard. Her routine, upon logging in, was simple: she perused the forum, stayed updated on the latest hacker community news, and caught up on global affairs. With nonchalant ease, she’d tackle challenges or devise her own before signing off.

Previously intrigued by C’s sudden change in username, Norah found herself compelled to delve deeper into his background. Unexpectedly, their initial encounter blossomed into an unlikely friendship, leaving their mutual investigation of each other hanging in suspense. She even offered guidance for C’s pursuit of a girlfriend, sharing her insights and strategies to aid him in his romantic endeavors.

Now that C had finally been with the girl he desired, Norah couldn’t help but share in his happiness. Beyond hacking discussions, their conversations had dwindled. After agreeing to collaborate on a few challenges, Norah glanced at the time, realizing it was growing late. Gently, she proposed bidding farewell.

With another task demanding her attention that night, Norah swiftly shifted her focus away from their chat. Exiting the hacker forum, she seamlessly infiltrated the network region of the Breaker, blending effortlessly into the digital landscape with precision and finesse.

Next, she focused on their chat system, the clandestine website infamous for arms trading. Swiftly breaching its defenses, she uncovered ongoing discussions regarding the rendezvous point for the illicit transaction.
