Anything For Her

Chapter 227

Survival Instincts “Your mentor? How can I contact him?” the client urged. No matter what, I must

destroy Lombard Group. “I don’t know. He often travels. The last time he contacted me, he said he was

in Xemrich.” “I’m leaving. I didn’t accomplish the mission, so I won’t take your money!” The hacker spun

on his heels and strode away. One day, I shall beat Phantom up to a pulp! The man said nothing and

watched as he left. He knew how it felt to be defeated by someone else. “Tristan, don’t you worry. I

shall make sure you get a taste of your own medicine!” the man vowed viciously. When Tristan arrived

at Lombard Group, the problem had already been solved. “What? Another person popped up and

hacked into the hacker’s laptop?” Tristan couldn’t believe his ears. If the engineers I paid handsomely

to protect my company’s system are helpless against Phantom, who else is capable enough of hacking

into his laptop? “Was that really Phantom?” he asked doubtfully.

Tristan couldn’t believe that the hacker was Phantom. He had never offended Phantom, so there was

no reason for Phantom to attack Lombard Group suddenly. “I don’t know either. The engineers were

the ones who said that!” Felix wasn’t good with computers and wasn’t a match for the hackers. When

Tristan came over to Sophie, the latter quickly deleted all traces on the computer. “What are you

doing?” Tristan asked. He noticed she was busy since his arrival. “Nothing.” Sophie clicked into a game

calmly and pretended to play it. “You must be bored. I shall bring you and Ysabelle out to have some

fun.” It was the holidays now, so they should be having fun. Her winter holidays have just started. It will

last for around ten days. That’s too little. “I’m fine. I’m not bored. You should go back to work. Don’t

worry about me.” She wasn’t lying when she said she wasn’t bored. The hacker was slightly less

capable than her, so it took her some time before she successfully hacked into his computer. However,

she knew she would only improve whenever a capable rival appeared. Otherwise, it would be boring to

stay the same. It was lonely to be unbeatable at the top.

“Tell the engineers to wait for me in the conference room,” Tristan told Felix. Felix scratched his nose

as he knew the engineers were in deep trouble. The engineers were paid handsomely to work at

Lombard Group. In Chanaea, they were the highest-paid engineers. “Mr. Tristan, you shouldn’t give

them a hard time. No one else will be at the top forever!” Sophie tried to defend the engineers. The

hacker was almost as good as her, so it was natural for the engineers to not be his match.

“Nevertheless, as they are in charge of Lombard Group’s network security, I think they aren’t good

enough at their job.” “That I know. That’s why I’ve never stopped looking for Phantom. Alas, this hacker

is too mysterious.” Why did he suddenly mention Phantom? “I heard that Phantom is a loner who won’t

accept any offers from any companies,” Sophie revealed. She loved leading a carefree life and didn’t

want any company to restrict her freedom. Even after establishing Wings of Light due to boredom, she

couldn’t be bothered to manage it and got Butterfly to manage it for her.

“I know, but it doesn’t hurt to try. Phantom is the only hacker in the world who can guarantee my

company’s network security,” Tristan responded. “Mr. Tristan, did you misunderstand Phantom? No one

can guarantee anything in this world.” Truth be told, Sophie thought they had made her a legend when

she was just better than the average hacker. “Soph, you have no idea how capable Phantom is!”

Tristan told her. That was the first time Sophie had ever heard Tristan lavishing praises on someone.

“Is he or she that capable?” “Mr. Tristan, stop it. Sophie will get jealous if you continue praising

Phantom!” Felix joked. No one would want to hear their boyfriend praising another person, though the

person’s gender remained unknown. Sophie shot Felix a look, and the latter immediately shut up.

“Fine. Pretend you heard nothing from me.” Tristan might be scary, but his girlfriend was scarier. It only

took a look from her to scare Felix into silence. Sophie was pleased as he finally fell silent. “Sophie,

stop bullying Felix! Look how pitiful he is. Never mind if Uncle Tristan picks on him. Why are you doing

the same thing to him?” Ysabelle couldn’t help but feel bad for Felix. Hearing that, Felix hurried over to

her and took her hand. “Ysabelle, I knew it.

You’re the only person in the world who cares about me. Look at how they bullied me! Poor me. Why

did they make things difficult for me?” Ysabelle rolled her eyes. “Fine, you’re the most pitiful man in the

world!” she responded in resignation. Poor guy. He got bullied by Uncle Tristan, and now Uncle

Tristan’s girlfriend bullied him, too. “Ysabelle, didn’t the son of the Ackhurst family take a liking to you?

He seems like a good man. Why don’t you try dating him? Doesn’t that sound like a good idea?” Tristan

suggested suddenly. Felix nearly spat out blood in frustration. Mr. Tristan is doing this on purpose!

He knows I like Ysabelle but said that out loud. This is too much! He has gone overboard! “Uncle

Tristan, I don’t want to get into a relationship for now!” Ysabelle rejected his offer immediately as she

glanced at Felix subconsciously. Seeing that, Felix relaxed. He felt better to know that Ysabelle was on

his side. “I’m not telling you to find a boyfriend now. It won’t do you harm to get to know another friend. I

don’t want you to get scammed by someone else.” Tristan gave Felix a pointed look when he said

“someone else.” “The world is a dangerous place. It is impossible to judge someone’s heart from his

face,” he added. “Dad, please forgive me!” Felix apologized immediately without caring about his

dignity. I’ll never complain that they bully me. They treat me well. Ysabelle and Sophie were at a loss

for words. His survival instincts are kicking in, huh? “Mr. Tristan, if you don’t mind, I shall introduce you

to someone!” Tristan was a great help to her, so Sophie wanted to repay his favor.

Tristan arched a brow. Felix couldn’t help but say, “Sophie, don’t tell me you’re going to introduce a

girlfriend to Mr. Tristan. He loves you. Finding him a girlfriend is too…” The moment he felt an icy gaze

on his back, however, he trailed off and pretended he hadn’t said anything. He was a man who knew

when to relent and when to persist. I’m nothing compared to Mr. Tristan!
