Chapter: 1546
His fingers moved rapidly across the keys. These Deacons were his most reliable allies, the ones he trusted deeply.
Norah rested her chin on her hand, quietly observing. Was Sean really working, or was there something else going on?
She leaned in and saw Sean type a URL and sign in swiftly.
The page looked oddly familiar. Wasn't this the hacker forum? Could Sean be involved in hacking also?
Sean assumed Norah wouldn't recognize the site. He posted a high- paying bounty about Nancy, offering a thousand dollars for any useful information.
Immediately, comments began flooding in.
Due to the screen's glare, Norah couldn't make out the username, but she could still see the messages.
“Who is Angela?" she asked, pointing to a comment. During her time with the Carter family, she hadn't kept up with certain events and didn't recognize some of the new names in the hacker world.
Sean's face darkened as he responded to the comment. But there was no follow-up from the user, who vanished after making the cryptic statement.
Matteo observed their interaction and said firmly, "Give T the account to trace the user."
Tracking the account's activity across networks, Sean ignored Matteo's suggestion, determined to find the person on his own.
Trying to hide from the second-ranked hacker on the forum was a futile effort. With just a trace, he could locate the user's IP address and pinpoint their device.
Suddenly, Norah caught a glimpse of the username "Black"-Sean's alias on the forum!
She pressed her lips together. Was the hacker Black actually Sean?
She mentally retraced her past conversations with Black. It all made sense nowthe strange sense of familiarity she experienced during those exchanges was because Black was none other than Sean.
Sean likely had no idea she was Moon. She had concealed her identity well, and no one knew her secret.
Sean hadn't hidden anything from her. Should she finally reveal who she was to him? He might even need her expertise this time.
As Norah considered it, Sean struggled with breaking through the mysterious user's firewall. Knowing someone was probing, the target had reinforced their defenses, and Sean's attacks weren't working.
Normally, Sean would take his time, but his urgency to get information about his mother made him reckless, causing repeated failures.
“Relax, Sean." Sensing his frustration, Norah put aside her thoughts and gently patted his back. "Let me give it a shot."
Phillip was about to suggest they leave it to Sean. After all, as the second-best hacker, he was far more capable than any amateur.
Norah wasn't trained in computers-how could she possibly help?
Shaking his head, Sean put his hand on the laptop and said, “Norah, you won't be able to assist here. I've got this."
If he couldn't crack it, how could Norah, who knew nothing about hacking, be of any use?
