Chapter 168 A clue

Matthew sat in the dimly lit room at Cryptonic headquarters, his eyes glued to the screen as his fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard.

The door to Matthew's office opened abruptly, startling him. He looked up, a bit annoyed at the interruption. Standing in the doorway was his coworker, who looked a little embarrassed for barging in without knocking. "Hey, Matt. Sorry for startling you."

"It's fine. What do you need?"

"I just wanted to ask... is it true what they're saying about Ms. Peterson?"

Matthew said, trying to keep his voice even, "I really think you should get back to work."

He raised his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright, I'm going. I didn't mean to pry."

Matthew sighed in relief as he muttered. "Finally quiet."

The room was filled with the soft hum of computers and the occasional beep from the various machines around him. He was determined to uncover the identity of the person behind the mysterious post that had caused such a stir. Hours had passed, and the digital trail was finally leading somewhere.

"Come one...how hard can it be to find one person." Matthew muttered under his breath, slightly frustrated.

His brow furrowed in concentration, Matthew scrutinized the data. He had finally pinpointed a location, but something was off.

"Wait what?" he looked back and forth at the location.
