?Chapter 654:


    Right after Natasha had stepped away from theptop, it hade under attack. Could that really be a coincidence?


    “Myptop got hacked while she was beside me,” Natasha exined tly, choosing not to borate. “It wasn’t her.”


    If sheid everything bare, they’d all definitely think she was being shady. Natasha decided to withhold certain details.


    Ashley, overhearing bits of their exchange, nced over in surprise—astonished by how Freya had managed to pull it off.


    Freya had never openly admitted she was K, but based on everything that had happened, Ashley was certain.


    “Did you find her location?” Brendan asked.


    “I couldn’t find her,” Natasha said with conviction. “Didn’t I tell you? I can beat anyone else, but if it’s my mentor, I absolutely lose.” K was on another level.


    Brendan’s eyes remained unreadable, but he didn’t say anything more. No one could surpass K in the world ofputing—but without aputer, she was just a regr person.


    With that thought in mind, Brendan discreetly sent out a message from his phone.


    While things on Brendan’s end had be rtively calmer, elsewhere the mood was entirely different.


    After receiving Freya’s message about Butterfly Ind, Greta and her friends immediately set off. Trent and Frederick began making their own preparations.


    Ellis had started contacting his connections.


    As for Kristian, he received a text from an unlisted number. It was clearly a virtual line, but he immediately knew it was Freya who had sent it.


    Just seeing that she was safe made him breathe easier.


    gα?ησν????s﹒c??m has it all


    The sea breeze was sharp at this hour, and with only a thin shirt on, Kristian shivered but didn’t move.


    After reading Freya’s message, he made a call. When the other line picked up, he asked, “Have you pinpointed Freya’s location?”


    “Yes,” came the quick reply. “She’s on Brendan’s ship. Based on their current trajectory, there are three possible destinations—Butterfly Ind, Cloud Ind, and Graham. It’s unclear where they’re ultimately headed.”


    “No matter which ce it ends up being, I just want her safe,” Kristian stressed.


    The person on the other end of the phone replied, “No problem.”


    After ending the call, Kristian felt a small wave of relief settle over him. Brendan’s men were monitoring his every move, so the moment he ended that call, it was reported.


    Brendan turned to Natasha and ordered her to check who Kristian had contacted.


    But they came up empty.


    “Didn’t you say no one could beat you except K?” Brendan’s tone hinted at skepticism, as though he thought Natasha was ying games.


    “The person Kristian called is either my mentor or someone’s phone she created encryption for,” Natasha stated firmly. “Based on the interception I encountered, the phone owner is likely someone who utilized her top-tier secure phone system.”


    Brendan was stunned.


    Meanwhile, Freya remained pensive.
