Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

“Sophie, this is an urgent situation.” Eustace broke the silence. They had no choice but to ask for her help. “It's about this person with the codename S. If we don't track him down and capture him as soon as possible, the consequences will be dire. He will threaten the safety of Chanaea.”

Sophie didn't bother asking who that man was.

It was the country's top secret, so all she had to do was to track S down, and Eustace would naturally handle the rest.

Eustace appreciated that Sophie never asked questions and always focused on her job whenever he asked for her help.

“Sophie, I've exhausted all my knowledge, but this person has a top hacker working for him. I'm no match for them,” Danny said, lowering his head.

Even though he had been learning from Sophie for some time, there was nothing he could do in this situation. It was a terrible feeling.

Am I not talented at all?

Sophie didn't bother looking at him and took over the work immediately.

As the world's number one hacker, Sophie could hack anyone she wanted easily. Yet, the moment she took over the job, she knew it wasn't a simple matter.

“S has someone helping him!” In fact, there was more than one top hacker helping him. He's obviously trying to cause trouble in Chanaea!

“That's right, and that's why my hands were tied!” Danny nodded, as he knew what she was talking about. “Sophie, we're all here. How can we help you?”

Their opponent had a few top hackers helping him. Those at the base might be capable, but they were no match for these top hackers.

Sophie had to switch on her phone.

“Captain Sheppard, she isn't allowed to switch on her phone here!” Eustace's subordinate immediately called out.

Sophie was breaking the rules, so Eustace might be blamed for what she was doing.

“It's fine. Ms. Tanner must have her own reasons for turning on her phone. Just pretend you didn't see her do that,” replied Eustace. After all, they were in a crucial situation and didn't have much time to delve into the matter.

His principle was that Sophie could do anything as long as she could track S down. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

“But Captain Sheppard...” His subordinate was about to say something but trailed off when Eustace glared at him.

After switching on her phone, Sophie realized she had a few missed calls from Tristan.

She had no time to call him back. She called Butterfly instead.

The phone was answered after two rings. Butterfly was on a blind date set up by her parents. She couldn't say no and was forced to attend it.

However, the man wasn't her type.

She was racking her brains for an excuse when the call arrived.

“Sorry, but I need to answer this,” she said to the man. “Feel free to order whatever you want. The bill is on me.”

Butterfly hurried out of the restaurant. “Why are you calling me at this hour?”

Phantom is mean. It's hard to enjoy a meal with her as she's so busy.

“Where are you? I need your help to cover me,” Sophie said without beating around the bush.

Butterfly stated her location quickly.

“Head back to Wings of Light now and gather the rest to cover me,” Sophie ordered curtly.

“Okay, got it. I'll head back right now.” Anything that concerned Sophie was their top priority. Besides, Sophie sounded pretty serious on the phone.

Butterfly was sure something urgent had cropped up.

The man took a liking to Butterfly's looks and wanted to continue dating her, but she returned only to grab her bag.

“I'm sorry, but I need to go. You can eat by yourself,” said Butterfly before spinning on her heels and leaving without bothering to see his reaction.

The man froze in his spot. Is she saying she doesn't like me? Even if she doesn't like me, how could she leave just like that? What about my pride?

Butterfly sped all the way back to Wings of Light. On the way back, she contacted the others and told them to return to Wings of Light immediately.

The rest arrived ahead of her and waited for her there.

“What happened? Why are we suddenly summoned back?” one asked curiously. After all, it usually took one of them to solve any problem in the past.

Something big must've happened for all of them to be summoned back.

“I don't know the exact details, but Phantom needs our help to cover her. It should be a difficult situation,” came Butterfly's answer.

They would definitely go all out to help Phantom, so none of them ask any questions and got to work.

“Okay!”

They returned to their office and switched on their computers within ten seconds. Butterfly contacted Sophie through their group chat.

Butterfly: We're all here. Let us know what to do.
