Nicole noticed that this person’s movement was quite random, and he did not seem like a person who
knew martial arts at all. ‘Who would send someone like this to kill her?’ she wondered.
As she thought of that, she loosened her grip slightly, just enough to lock the person but still allowed RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
the person to speak .
“Speak. Who sent you?”
The other party took a few deep breaths. Nicole’s hand may be slender, but he could not free himself
no matter how he tried. He had thought that Nicole was just a dour tech nerd and did not expect her to
be so strong!
Seeing that he did not speak, she faintly signaled that she was increasing the strength of her grip.
He immediately blurted out. “Lucifer! Stop! It’s me, Specter!”
‘Specter?’
Nicole was stunned for a moment, but she still did not loosen her grip. “What’s your proof?”
Specter coughed a few times. Fearing that she might continue to hold him in this chokehold, he
frantically said, “We have previously done a chain tracking of white from Mecrounia. Three years ago,
you tried to fix the technical loopholes of Hustuaburg’s space agency. And most recently, you tried to
act against the Johnstons and almost compromised the JJ Johnston Group’s data vault, affecting their
product launch, costing them a hundred million bucks!”
When Nicole heard all that, the suspicion in her heart slowly faded away.
Indeed, only Specter would know that she did all these.
Seeing that Nicole was lowering her guard, Specter cheekily quipped, “Lucifer, I made so much effort to
run away from home to see you, and this is your meeting gift for me?”
When Nicole heard this, she speechlessly twitched the corners of her mouth as she let him go.
# was only when Specter stood up straight and looked resentfully at her that Nicole realized that he
looked younger than him, with a childlike babyface
Recalling what she had done with him thus far, Nicole felt a little conflicted.
‘Is this person an adult?” she wondered.
Seemingly understanding her gaze, Specter said irritably, “What are you looking at? I’m already
eighteen! Don’t think I don’t know you were already in the business when you were
fifteen!”
Nicole raised her eyebrows and motioned for him to continue speaking.
Seeing her expression, Specter realized what he had exposed, and his voice became softer and softer.
“I didn’t mean to look into your background, but someone had been tracking me down recently, and you
were not online. I had no other way to contact you, so I thought of finding your real-world address…”
Nicole knew that he would not lie to her. Looking at his babyface and thinking of her seemingly mature
partner on the internet, there was a disconcerting sense in her heart that she could not put to words.
“But…”
Specter looked at Nicole as he said seriously, “Lucifer, did you cross someone powerful or something?
When they could not track you down, they started to track me instead. I’m not as skilled as you and
almost got tracked down a few times!”
Thinking of her few nemeses, Nicole squinted a little, but she did not dwell on the topic as she said
faintly, “Have you eaten yet?”
Specter immediately shook his head. He had sneaked out from home and ran all the way to Royal
Creek Institute to squat with her. He had no time to eat at all.
Nicole rolled her eyes at him as she slothfully said, “I’ll take you out for a meal. We’ll talk as we eat.”
The two walked on the path inside the Royal Creek Institute as Nicole recalled the Grove that she was
taken to previously. The place was both quiet and had good sound insulation.
So, she decided to take Specter there for a meal.
Specter had a very cute baby face, and when he kept quiet, there was a look of innocent deception.
The taxi driver looked at the two a couple of times. At first, he was worried that Nicole was going to do
something bad to Specter, but when he saw Nicole’s face, he was dumbfounded,
‘Ah, forget it. The girl is prettier than the boy. I don’t have to worry.’ He thought.
