Chapter 205 I Have Someone I Like

'T, I don't have to say much more to you. You should work on bringing out the best in the talents within Sacredice. And about your place on the hacking leaderboard, could you try to move up a notch? Sean remarked..

T mumbled under his breath, "I'm currently the third-best hacker in the world, yet you're the one

who's in second place! My skills are what they are. I can't improve beyond this."

Even though T spoke in a low voice, Sean, who was seated in a position of authority, caught every word. He let out a laugh and said, "If that's something you can't achieve, maybe you don't deserve to be a Deacon. I might just bring Moon in to replace you."

T stood up, all flustered, saying, "Sir, you can't possibly mean that! I've been loyal to Sacredice. I might not have made significant contributions, but I've always put in the effort. Please don't lose faith in me."

Phillip gave T a playful smack on the head and said, "Quit your talking. Haven't you caught on that he is encouraging you to step up your game?"

Rubbing his head, T gave Sean a confused look, saying, "I was under the impression that you had given up on me."

Sean pressed his hand against his forehead, finding it hard to believe that T was excellent in many ways but seemed to lag in comprehending his messages.

"As long as you're committed to putting in the effort, the Deacon position remains yours, Sean declared.

Moon, the top one of the hacking leaderboard, proved to be a wild card. Despite Moon's remarkable hacking prowess, Moon's loyalty to Sacredice was not a sure thing if Sean were to bring Moon in.

"Alright. I'll push myself harder! I've set my sights on Moon. I aim to take her spot as the top hacker," announced T.

As those words hung in the air, the other three attendees in the meeting room clapped for T. "Heart Heart"

T lowered his head, a bit embarrassed.

After they finished discussing several important issues related to the Sacredice's growth, Sean stood from his seat. "That's it for this meeting."

Sean still had the task of meeting newcomers with Phillip. He was eager to wrap things up so that he could see Norah sooner.

"Hold on. I've got a question." T stopped Sean just as Sean was about to head out.

Sean faced him and said, "Yes, what's on your mind?"

"You switched your username in the hacker forum to N. Later, Moon targeted you. What was that all about?" The sudden name change and the following attack by Moon raised suspicions for T. He couldn't shake off the thought that there must be some connection between them.

Discovering Sean and Moon collaborating on challenges was a shock, especially since T had seen it happen before. Being part of the Sacredice, he seldom joined forces with Sean for any challenges. It was quite strange seeing two individuals, who were supposed to be rivals, planning challenges together.

Sean didn't want to keep his relationship with Norah a secret. His face softened as he said, The name of the woman I'm in love with starts with N."

T gasped and said, "You've found someone special? Are you two an item now?"

K and J tumed their attention to Sean, curiosity piqued. To them, Sean was always distant and unapproachable, especially around women. When had his heart softened?

Sean confirmed with a nod, "Yes, we are together. Once things are more stable, I plan to introduce her to everyone here."

J made a show of being upset and said, "Looks like I have to start saving for a huge wedding

present for you."

K lít up with excitement, asking, "Do you have any plans for kids yet? I'd like to volunteer as the kid's martial arts instructor."

T seemed thrilled at the prospect as he answered, "I could teach the kid everything about computers, even how to hack."

Phillip quickly put an end to their thoughts, saying, "J, after all this time working for the Sacredice, you're still struggling to buy a wedding present? K and T, do you really think your talents outshine his?”
