Chapter 167 - Sei"s Lifeline
Country H… Sei and Zaki just landed in Country H"s largest military base, Port Red, when every high official including the president were there to welcome his return.
The once chaotic country a decade ago became one of the richest countries in the world and among the few countries with the strongest military might. Unknown to the world, the man standing as a powerful stronghold that brought the country to its current glory was no other than the hacker Monster that every country was looking for, for a decade.
And Sei, known as Xi Chen remained as the country"s real leader behind the shadow of the President. He was always treated as the country"s most important person and the country was completely in his control.
After a few meetings regarding government issues, Sei left Zaki to stand in his place as he went straight to a hall specially created by him, and dubbed by everyone in the port as King"s hall. It was a special place located at the heart of Port Red where Sei was executing his high-profile cyber spying, attacks, and manipulations.
Without wasting seconds, he started re-investigating by searching for clues about one of the world"s most mysterious nuclear disaster, the town of Zemei"s explosion.
…
A week went by…
Zaki who was the only one allowed to disturb the King Xi Chen just entered the King"s hall when he immediately let go a deep sigh the moment, he saw just how serious and focused Sei was in front of the computers.
"Good grief! He"s been in that state for a week and hasn"t even had any proper rest at all." He knew that Sei will always be like that when he turns serious and he knew he would never listen to him even if he tells him to take a break.
Thus, a lightbulb appeared above Zaki as he knew a sure-fire weapon that will make the man obey with a single word.
He then secretly took a photo of Sei from behind and sent it to the wife with a caption of, "S.O.S". Of course, as expected, the wife immediately called.
However, Zaki didn"t accept her call, afraid that Sei might just throw him out once he talks. So, he quickly replied to her with a message.
[Don"t call right now, your husband might throw me out. (ﾟωﾟ;)]
[Sei"s Lifeline: What"s wrong? Did something happen? (´･ω･`)?]
[Well, your husband is too focused on his work that no one, not even food or sleep could stop him. ಠ_ಠ]
[Sei"s Lifeline: That won"t do, he should rest… what if he gets sick?]
[┐(￣ー￣)┌ He doesn"t listen to his body nor me, your husband only listens to his will and brain. If I told him to eat, he might only beat me for disturbing him. Young Miss, I know he asked you not to send nor call him for the meantime, but you"re the only one I know who could help or he"ll die of starvation. Please send him cheesy things or whatever to make him wake up and feel the pleas of his stomach.]
[Sei"s Lifeline: Okay, I understand. Leave it to me. I will never let him starve himself!
─=≡Σ((( つ•̀ω•́)つLET"SGO!]
[Yey! Thank you, young miss, you"re his real savior! Please scold him and don"t go easy on him.]
A few seconds after sending her his reply, a certain sound echoed inside the hall. Causing the extremely focused man to finally s.h.i.+ft his gaze away from the computer screen.
The man"s great concentration was immediately disrupted as he raised his cellphone. And the moment he saw the message, his extremely focused and serious aura suddenly dissipated into thin air.
As though he was an extremely dangerous, wild beast ferociously hunting for his prey was suddenly distracted by a certain mystic and beautiful b.u.t.terfly midway, causing it to immediately forget about its prey.
Zaki already expected such a reaction by him, however, his gossiping stomach want to know what she sent him. He then slowly and quietly moved like a ninja to have a peak behind the frozen man.
But when he saw the words "I"m imagining you eating with me. I think I miss you... have you eaten?",
Zaki just raised a brow. "What? How boring… Would you stop acting like she just sent you something like "I"m pregnant" when it"s just a simple I miss you? Ahh this guy…"
