Chapter 65

Matteo and his friends are busy talking about their next project. His friends are ecstatic that the famous Menvra is back.

One of the newcomers is looking at his seniors in wonder as to why they respect this new person so much. It's hard for them to be invited to this social party. After all, you need to be ranked at least 50th in the hacked community around the world. 

This is his first time here. He just finished some projects that made him accumulate enough points to be ranked in 50th place. A few weeks after that, he started to get invitations to enter the global elite hackers. He felt ecstatic after cracking some code to enter the group. He knows so much about each individual inside the boards. But suddenly, there was one name he never heard about standing in front of him.

"Can I ask who he is?" Razen asks the blonde man beside him, even when he doesn't know each name of them in this room he knows surely that this man is on the ranked list.

"Razen, right? We never know him for sure. Only Metta knows who he is. But one thing I know one day, one man shows up on our radar. That's the first time the name of Menvra appears out of nowhere. He asks us to help him with his projects, and he sets up a hard code to crack if someone wants to join this competition. The rewards are very big beyond your imagination. Only five people are accepted back, including Metta, Frost, and your idol Razor." He explains patiently to the newcomers. After all, he has already been there before.

"How do you know?" Razen asks bewildered that he knows that he always admires Razor.

"I can see through your hacking style, and it is very clear that you try to copy his name." 

"So who is he?" Razen asks to try to change their conversation, shy about how he finds out.

"Nobody knows what the project is, but the projects make all the members that have been accepted ranked at the top in only a matter of months. That only means that the project is a very hard and dangerous one. After that, the name of Menvra never showed up again until today when all the top global are asking us to meet and celebrate the returns of Menvra in this foreign country.  Know something that man is more dangerous than what you think, even from the top ranks." 

"Who are you, by the way?" Razen asks curiously.

"Oh, sorry, I'm Anon." Anon holds his hands so they shake hands. 

Razen is in shock he just shaking hands with the most wanted hacker in France and ranked 11th at the global ranking. He can brag about this for his entire life to all his comrades.

Suddenly, the room is deadly silent. Razen is looking at the source of the silence and sees a girl stick her head in the door with a blush on her face.

Matteo realizes her presence and beckons her to come to him. Leora whines with her expression at him but still runs to him.

She hugs him and hides her face from him, too shy to look around, knowing that she is the center of attention of the people in the room.

"Can we go out?" Leora whispers, still not looking at anyone.

Matteo just chuckled and complied with her demands. He takes her hands and leads her outside the room.

"Sleep well?" Matteo asks while caressing her face. Leora nodded at her and hugged him.

"Who are those people?" She looked up at him and asked with a pillow face and droopy eyes, not yet fully awake.

"I only know five of them, the rest are their friends." He answers while looking at her adoringly. She tilted her head in confusion cutely making him pinch her cheek.
