Chapter 1094: Thank you for asking

"You have to confiscate the laptop," was Gray’s first remark as soon as Dominic closed the door. "He shouldn’t be playing with that thing."

Dominic arched a brow, facing him slowly. "That’s strange," he pointed out. "I thought you’d asked me to be lenient and save him from getting a timeout."

"I would, but not in this case." Gray shook his head. "Hera left for a reason. Anyone with her dies."

"Everybody dies."

"But not as cruel as those innocent bystanders." A deep exhale escaped Gray, looking at Dominic worriedly. "I don’t know if she told you this, but anyone she talks to or encounters anywhere in the world earns a target board on their back. It doesn’t matter if he or she is a bartender where she drinks, a bystander whom she asked for directions, or someone she bumps into a crowd."

"All of them were targeted because her enemies think she knew them personally," he continued in the same grave tone. "A simple question for directions or an order for a drink were perceived as secret codes. Her enemies were vicious; they don’t take chances."

"My point here is, that is how she got more miserable. If an innocent stranger gets targeted, what more if they were the people she cares?" Gray added. "Maybe you can fend for yourself. But what about Basti and Miracle? She’d risk many things on a daily basis, but not this one. She’d rather be dead than take a risk."

"I know your worries, Gray. But what I don’t understand is you telling me everything I already know since it’s the reason Hera is not here," Dominic returned, a little numb at Gray’s concern. "You don’t have to rub it on my face that there’s nothing I can do to help my wife."

"What Basti did is he infiltrated the main control of the CIA. Thanks to the device, which I assumed Joker personally modified, his IP and firewalls are protected. The little master simply made sure the program on his laptop was maximized to its full potential. However, if he keeps doing this, it might put him in danger," Gray explained.

"What else did Basti do to that place aside from looking up his mother’s files?"

"She went through her files?" Gray gasped. "Then, that means... he’d seen her long list of crimes."

Dominic paused, glancing at the door. He sighed deeply as he set his eyes back to Gray.

"Anyway, he simply fought off the virus trying to infiltrate his defense. He managed to stop them, but the little master..." Gray paused, pinching the bridge of his nose in distress. "I think he went a little overboard."

"How?"

"He shuts down that place’s signal. And what I meant by that is he corrupted the place."

"How is that a problem when he wasn’t located?"

"Because all the programs hiding in that system also lost connection to it," Gray sighed. "And once the CIA retrieved their system, it will show all other unwanted connections in their system."

Dominic remained silent, grasping the idea Gray was telling him. But alas, it took him a moment to realize the real problem.

"Hera..." he trailed off, brows knitted together. "... are you saying it will reveal that Hera has been stealing information from them?"

"It won’t show her location or who it was, but if I were them, I would cut off all these bugs in the system to stop stealing from me. It doesn’t matter who or how, but it’ll be a big disadvantage for her." Gray shrugged. "We don’t know what’s happening on the other side, but what I do know is that she’s not the type to idle. Communication is important in every mission. Who knows? They might’ve lost contact with Joker when the CIA shuts down. After all, Joker was getting their signal directly from them."

A moment of silence descended upon their shoulders. Now Dominic understood why Gray asked him to come out and talk.

"Do you think... Hera will find out about this?" After another minute of pure silence, Dominic couldn’t help but raise a question. "Tell me. There’s no way she’d find out, right?"

"There isn’t since the owner of the system is Joker. Even if the CIA made their move, they wouldn’t immediately figure out it’s the little master."

"If that’s the case, why do you look like it’s not good news?"

"Because the little master left a note." Gray ruffled his hair. "He even gave himself a nickname, baby monster. It won’t take a long time for Hera to put two and two together."

Dominic rocked his head. "What do you think she’ll do?"

"Huh?"

"If she found out about it, do you think she’ll come here?"

"No?"

"Then, I think it’s fine." Dominic patted Gray’s shoulder. "Don’t worry about it. She won’t just come here or call recklessly just because my son..."

Dominic trailed off when he heard this faint vibration coming from Gray. The latter, on the other hand, froze on the spot. Gray cautiously shoved his hand inside his pocket, wincing as soon as he saw an unknown caller ID.

"Didn’t you say she won’t call?" Gray helplessly lifted the phone to Dominic. "I’m not dealing with her."

"But you’re the one who taught my son about coding."

"I taught him to dislike Axel," Gray shamelessly corrected. "Not infiltrate the CIA! She should blame Joker, but I’m not dealing with her."

Gray forcibly shoved the phone to Dominic. "If she ever looked for me, tell her I’m babysitting. I’ll tuck Basti in, and you deal with your wife."

With that being said, Gray walked past Dominic and went back to Sebastian’s room. Dominic, on the other hand, stared at the screen.

"Hera," he whispered, unknowingly smiling at the thought of hearing her voice. After all, Dominic never thought he would hear from her so soon. Thus, Dominic answered the call. However, just before he could place the phone to his ear, he pulled it away because of the deafening yell from the other end of the line.

"Gray, keep your prayers and tell them to the lord once I send you there. What the hell have you been teaching my son? Do you know what did he even do?" Hera grumbled, obviously irritated by the volume of her voice. "I told you to keep an eye on them and not let them do anything stupid! Where is his father, by the way? Did he eat?"

"I haven’t. Thank you for asking," Dominic replied, and then there was pure silence in the line before the call ended. He looked at the phone, tilting his head, confused. "Is she... in a chopper?"
