My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 2935

Lawrence was convinced that no matter who else he tried to find or what other plans he came up with, things wouldn't work out.

Scorpio's face had turned sour, his words sharpening. "So what you're saying is, you'd rather let that woman have it than us?" he asked, visibly upset.

"Let the best person win. After all, that's the rule with the Five Badges," Lawrence shrugged, a nonchalant air about him. 'As long as I have it, I'll do what I want with it.'

Besides, he thought, 'It's safer with me. How could I be at ease if it's in someone else's hands?'

"Fine, then guard your Water Crest well," Lawrence said, standing up with a hint of threat in his voice.
