The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 8 Rumors Abound

At the Carter Group, Mason just stared at his blacked-out computer screen, watching that annoying blue bird bounce around. "I got killed again!"

And the worst part? He didn't even get a glimpse of Gaia before getting hacked. It was a total wipeout.

"Mason, you're supposed to be one of the top guys here, and this is your game?" James teased from the side.

Mason, super frustrated, shot back, "It's Gaia. I know all the tricks, but I still couldn't last a minute!" Only Gaia could pull off a counterattack that fast. When Mason tried to trace it back, he found zilch, which drove him even crazier.

"Didn't you find any useful clues?" Alexander asked, frowning.

"Not exactly. I couldn't nail down the exact spot, but I did confirm Gaia's in Skycrest!"

Mason had used every trick in the book to get that info. As a top computer science PhD, it was a huge hit to his pride.

"In Skycrest?" James was floored.

Alexander made a quick call, "Get in touch with Genesis Creations. I want to meet Gaia!"

Staring at the blue bird on the screen, Alexander got lost in thought.

Gaia, in Greek mythology, was a deity. The organization was named Genesis Creations, so the leader should be called Chaos, the god of chaos in Western mythology.

As for other members, who knew? But one thing was clear: Genesis Creations was one of the top organizations globally, and Alexander was set on getting them on his side. Meanwhile, Allison, having finished her task, was chilling on the sofa, playing a mobile game.
