Chapter 466: The Story Of The Little Petrel
There was a strange stillness in the restaurant.
Song Fang was frozen stiff, while Raptor had an incredulous expression on his face. Perhaps he felt pain after being thrown on the floor by Ye Jiu. He touched the badge on his left chest that he called his faith.
He remembered the question that D asked him just now. There were three bigwigs in the Hacker Alliance, and Siren was one of them. Other than the phoenix badge, the Hacker Alliance also made each of them a special badge that represented their characters with a special material.
The badge on the floor looked nothing different from a normal badge at the first glance, but if one took a closer look, he or she would be able to notice the beads of sapphire on the tip of the tail of the mermaid.
Raptor had seen a lot of good things and he was not someone who had not experienced the world yet. He knew the gems on the badge were real and their values could not be estimated.
Half of the face of the mermaid was covered in a mask and its fangs that protrude out of its mouth were sharp. He had seen this badge from the official website of the Hacker Alliance before. He was certain that no one would replicate this badge. In other words, the badge on the floor was the real deal.
Although he was one of the professional hackers from the Hacker Alliance as well, the difference between someone at the lower level of the alliance like him and the few top hackers was as big as heaven and earth. They were respected and feared, and the mermaid badge represented more than just honor. It also meant that whoever held this badge was the best of the best.
Raptor opened his mouth, disbelief accenting his voice as he said, “You… Are you…”
“Yes,” Fu Zhi replied as she bent down. She picked the badge up from the floor and dusted the invisible dust on the badge before stuffing it into her bag.
‘This is it. I’m done for it.’
The way she treated her badge was similar to how he treated his own. Just like him, she also took the badge as her everything!
Raptor’s face turned pale.
Then, he heard Fu Zhi saying, “This badge is expensive, and they only give us one every year. It can be sold for a lot of money, so I have to take care of it carefully!”
Raptor was speechless. He thought his ears or his brain were playing a trick on him.
‘What did she just say? The badge could be sold for a lot of money? How could she sell the badge out? It represents our faith as a hacker of the Hacker Alliance! Oh, wait. Hold on a second. Now is not the time to talk about faith. I’ve just offended Siren, the top hacker in the Hacker Alliance!’
When the thought came vividly clear into Raptor’s mind, his face turned even paler. He snapped himself back to reality and threw himself at Fu Zhi, grabbing her leg as he pleaded for mercy, “Boss, please forgive me, boss. Please give me another chance. I have to take care of my parents, a dog, and 3 piglets at my house. My entire family is counting on me, so please forgive me…”
“Let go of your hand,” Fu Zhi commanded disgustingly as she tried to pull her leg out. However, as if a wolf had just caught its prey, he grabbed Fu Zhi’s leg tightly and refused to let go. “Please don’t go, boss, please don’t go. I’ll be finished if the people in the Hacker Alliance learn that I’ve offended you, so please, boss, I beg you, please forgive me!”
Ye Jiu then came forward and kicked Raptor away. Then, he dusted the invisible dust on Fu Zhi’s trouser and asked, “Are you sure you should call her boss?”
Fu Zhi lifted her eyelid and chimed in, “Call me daddy.”
“Daddy!” Raptor was someone who knew when to yield. After he was kicked away by Ye Jiu, he crawled back to Fu Zhi and continued, “Daddy! After 30 years of waiting, I finally found you. Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long and I hope that you can forgive me!”
“Now you don’t think it’s humiliating for her to work as a construction worker at a construction site?” Ye Jiu added as he took a sip from the gla.s.s of watermelon juice. “I think you can go home now. There’s nothing you can do to make her forgive you.”
Raptor replied emotionlessly, “What if she loves me too much and she decides to forgive me?”
Ye Jiu scoffed, “Who do you think she is? A stupid woman with a messiah complex who would forgive everyone?”
Fu Zhi turned around to scratch Ye Jiu’s face when she heard what he had said.
Ye Jiu quickly grabbed her ponytail and said, “How dare you scratch my pretty face, you stupid woman with a messiah complex who would forgive everyone!”
At the same time, Raptor picked the nail clipper up from the table and shielded Fu Zhi, shouting at the top of his lungs, “Come at me if you have any problem. I won’t let you harm my daddy!”
It was only then Song Fang, Lu Yumo, and Lu Yubai finally came around to their senses.
Song Fang ran his fingers across the invitation card, and he noticed there was a jade buckle on the invitation card. He flipped it open and the world “Siren” appeared in his vision.
He exchanged a glance with Lu Yumo and commented, “I finally understand why Pure Feather is nothing.”
No matter how great Pure Feather was, she was just a writer. On the contrary, Siren had the entire Hacker Alliance behind her!
“I finally know why Zhizhi’s eyes are always red in the morning. She’s working hard every day and night, while I’m just wasting my time and life…”
“Alright, stop!” Song Fang said, “When I first saw her, I thought she’s just another pretty girl who is bad at studies.”
Lu Yumo smacked the table hard and shot up, “She is the underachiever who always sleeps in the cla.s.s!”
Song Fang put the drumstick down, picked up the wine bottle to act as the microphone, and said, “She is the little b*tch who diligently does her homework at night behind our back!”
Lu Yumo waved his fist in the air and continued, “She is the bigshot who built the whole Hacker Alliance!”
Song Fang tried his best to raise his voice as he shouted, “She is the only seed of hope who can save No.1 High School from untold miseries!”
“When the seed sprouts in a storm!”
“When the flower of hope blooms!”
Lu Yumo jumped onto the chair. “The clouds are billowing on top of the sea, while the petrel is slaloming between the cloud and sea proudly and defiantly like a black lightning!”
Spreading his arm, Song Fang moved on, “Please take care of yourself, little petrel!”
Then, both of them made a deep bow hand in hand, and said, “Thank you! Thank you all for your ears and if you want to learn more about the story of the little petrel, you can…”
Fu Zhi turned around and looked emotionlessly at Lu Yumo and Song Fang, stunning them.
Then, when they finally came around to their senses, they gave Fu Zhi an embarra.s.sed smile and sat back on their chairs, burying their heads in their bowls.
Fu Zhi looked at Raptor. “Come with me.”
“Daddy, I think I broke my spine. I can’t get up,” Raptor said, his eyes filled with tears.
