Chapter 626
A few days later, in Kanton City.
Corinne took an early flight to Kanton City to attend the World Hacker Conference. Now that she was in a different
city, she did not have to deliberately hide from Jeremy; she could take public transportation without worrying she
would bump into him.
Coincidentally, Xante was in Kanton City for business so she arranged for someone to pick Corinne up at the
airport. Corinne did not plan to stay in Kanton City for long so she did not bring much baggage. She only packed
with her the things that would fit into a backpack.
She shoved her hands into her pockets and walked casually to the exit.
“Corinne!” someone suddenly shouted out her name.
She instinctively stopped walking and looked toward the direction of the sound.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA man wearing sunglasses was walking toward her. He immediately took off his sunglasses to reveal his handsome
baby face as soon as he was standing in front of her.
“It’s you, Corinne! What are you doing here in Kanton City?”
‘Ah, it’s Sunny!’ Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked languidly at him. Instead of answering his question, she
asked, “If I remember correctly, today’s a school day so what are you doing here?”
Sunny blinked at her; the guilt on his face was apparent. “Umm, I have something urgent to do today so I asked the
school for an off day.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes. “Oh? Are you sure you’re not cutting class?”
Sunny was not the type to lie. He scratched his head in frustration and said, “Fine, I’m cutting class but I have a
good reason for doing that!”
“Which is?”
“I just got news from a hacker friend of mine that the World Hacker Conference would be held in Kanton City
today.”
Corinne frowned. “So you’re going to the conference too? Are you even invited?xo.com fast update”
Sunny shook his head ruefully. “No, only the top hackers are invited to this kind of conference. I’m a newbie and
haven’t made a name for myself yet so I’m not on the guest list.”
Corinne gave him a side-eye. “Then how are you going to join if you’re not invited? Do you know how tight the
security will be? Even if you managed to sneak in, do you know what would happen if they found you inside? They
would not hesitate to get rid of you to prevent you from leaking out the members’ identity.”
Sunny was not afraid. He lifted his chin proudly and said, “So what if I’m not invited? I’m pretty sure my master’s
name is on the guest list! Do you know who my master is? She’s Jade Rabbit, one of the top hackers in the world. I
do believe they’ll let me in if I tell them I’m going in to find my master.”
Corinne was speechless. This naive kid doesn’t know how cruel the world can be! But wait a minute! The master
he’s referring to seems to be me! I don’t seem to recall ever agreeing to his master.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe decided to change tack. “You’re a student so you should be in class. Now I’m going to let you choose, Are you
going to go back yourself or should I inform Mister Lucas of your whereabouts and ask him to send someone to pick
you up?”
Sunny started to panic at the mention of Lucas. “Corinne, why are you being like this? I wouldn’t have told
20
you the truth if I knew you were going to be like this. Please don’t tell my brother. He was injured recently so I
wouldn’t want to bother him with things like this. Besides, this is none of your business.”
Corinne was surprised. “Your brother was injured recently? What happened?” she asked quizzically
Tsk! How in the world would that condescending man who thinks he’s too good for everyone to get hurt at all? This
is a rare thing.”
Sunny pouted and said, “It happened at my grandpa’s birthday party. Jeremy threw a punch at Lucas out of
nowhere and not one to take a punch for no good reason, he fought back. Then the two of them ended up in an all-
out fistfight. Lucas came away with a broken arm and I heard Jeremy got hurt pretty seriously
too.”
Corinne was shocked.
