Ch. 1131..1140: Chapter 1131-1140

Chapter 1131

"Are you sure? Is the information reliable?" Collin asked, his voice tinged with urgency.

The person on the other end confirmed confidently. After a brief exchange, Collin ended the call and turned to Bonnie, his face beaming with excitement. "Chief! Our people have located Falcon!"

Upon hearing this, Bonnie's eyes lit up with excitement as well. "Really? They were struggling before. How did they locate him all of a sudden? Could it be a trap set by Billy?"Chapter

After all, Billy wasn't stupid. Even Yasmine's flawless execution had been detected by him. This time, she had gotten smarter by verifying the authenticity of any information from that end.

"It's true!" Collin's voice trembled with excitement. "We owe it to the Dark Knight Organization for sending Yasmine to hypnotize Billy! After investigating, Billy realized Yasmine was from the Dark Knight Organization and discovered our alliance.

"Now, fearing he couldn't beat us and unwilling to lose the chip, he had to move Falcon to a safer place. Our people tracked him during the transfer and pinpointed Falcon's location."

Bonnie rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "If that's the case, they will start cracking the chip soon."

"I think so, too." Collin's excitement grew. "We were just about to act, and now this good news arrives."

"This news indeed came at the right time. We had our people investigate Falcon for a long time without results. Now we finally have a lead." Bonnie looked at the distribution map, pointing to a corner marked with a red dot. "I'm guessing they've placed Falcon here."

Collin followed her gaze and then shook his head. "I'm not sure yet. I'm having them send the map over right now."

"Hurry them up. We need to confirm the exact location."

"Got it." Just as Collin spoke, his phone buzzed. He quickly checked the message, which contained the location map from their subordinates.

Bonnie glanced at his screen, immediately recognizing Falcon's location. "As I thought, they've hidden Falcon here."

Collin verified Bonnie's opinion by comparing the maps. He slapped his thigh in admiration. "Chief! You're incredible! How did you know where they'd hide Falcon?"

"It's simple," Bonnie explained, "Based on their distribution map, this is their headquarters with the highest concentration of guards. Now that they fear both our organizations might join forces to seize the chip, they have no choice but to hide Falcon in the safest place they know." She analyzed each point for Collin.

He gave her a thumbs-up. "Your mind is so sharp. If only you could give me half your intelligence."

"No big deal," Bonnie replied nonchalantly. "It's just standard procedure."

Collin chuckled. "Are you showing off?"

"What I said is standard procedure. I'm not showing off." Bonnie rolled her eyes at him. "Did you bring the notebook I asked you to get earlier?"

Collin slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten. "Sorry, chief. I forgot. I'll get it right now." He returned to his room, got the notebook, and gave it to Bonnie. "Here you go."

 

Chapter 1132

Bonnie's fingers danced quickly across the keyboard of her notebook. Suddenly, her eyes froze.

Collin asked curiously when he noticed her hesitation, "Chief, what's wrong?"

Bonnie turned the notebook screen towards him. "Just as I suspected, after transferring Falcon, their next. step is to crack the chip. It seems Falcon tried to break the last two layers of encryption but failed.

"Now, Billy has posted on the dark web to recruit experts by offering a huge reward for deciphering the code. Though he didn't explicitly mention the chip, I can tell that's what he's referring to."

Collin followed her gaze, saw the price Billy offered, and scoffed. "Hmph, only 8 million? Billy is seriously underestimating our organization's research. The Dark Knight Organization paid Falcon 1.6 billion for our chip, and Billy is offering just 8 million?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Your focus is peculiar. Don't you understand my point?"

Collin scratched the back of his head. "I honestly don't quite understand what you're saying."

Bonnie gave him a big, exasperated eye roll while shaking her head. "What I mean is, this is our chance! With Billy openly recruiting experts, it's the perfect time for us to infiltrate. I've decided to pose as a hacker and infiltrate their organization to retrieve the chip."

Collin immediately objected. "Do you remember how dangerous it was for Yasmine when she hypnotized Billy? You'd be going deep into their organization. If you're discovered, it will be hazardous, and we don't even know if you'll make it out."

He shook his head vehemently. "No, no, it's too dangerous. You can't go."Chapter

"I'm different from Yasmine," Bonnie said, narrowing her long, phoenix-like eyes. "Her hypnosis skills are excellent, but she lacks in other areas. I'm more cautious and skilled than she is. If I say I can do it, I'm confident in succeeding."

She raised her chin and showed her proud expression. "You know I never undertake anything I'm not sure of."

Collin frowned and opened his mouth to say something but reconsidered. Thinking about Bonnie's safety, he swallowed his words and continued to persuade her.

"It's just too dangerous. You can't go! If something happens to you, what about me? What about the people in the organization? Think about Mr. Ivor. You don't want him to be a widower so soon after getting married, do you?"

"What are you saying?" Bonnie was exasperated. "Widower? What kind of expression is that?"

"Anyway, I just don't want you to risk yourself," Collin insisted, his frown deepening. He decided silently and said, "How about letting me go? I promise to complete the task."

Bonnie raised her eyebrows upon hearing this.

 

Chapter 1133

"If you want to go, that's fine," Bonnie said. "But first, I need to ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, I'll let you go."

Upon hearing that Bonnie would quiz him, Collin straightened his back immediately. "Go ahead!"

assess your abilities. I won't

"When you get there, Billy will definitely test your technical knowledge to asse

ask you anything too difficult, just a few simple questions." As she spoke, Bonnie quickly listed a few questions. "Alright, answer these. Let's see if you can."

After hearing the questions, Collin's eyes widened, and his mouth dropped open in shock. He was silent for a moment before he closed his mouth. "Are you sure these are simple questions?"

Collin had learned quite a bit about chip technology by following Bonnie closely, but now he couldn't answer any of her questions. He couldn't even grasp what she was asking.

Bonnie shrugged. "Yes, these are the simplest questions. How will you pass Billy's assessment if you can't understand these? Infiltrating them in this state would be a hundred, even a thousand times more dangerous than if I went."

Collin was silent, though he reluctantly admitted she had a point. He scratched his head vigorously, feeling useless for the first time, unable to help alleviate Bonnie's burdens.

"Chief, is there no other way besides you going personally? Maybe we can develop a better idea if we think harder."

"There are other ways, but me going personally is the most secure." Bonnie's calm voice carried a wisdom and steadiness that were hard to dispute. "Yasmine's hypnosis of Billy already alerted them. Now, it's a rare opportunity to have Falcon transferred into their organization.

"Sending someone else poses a high risk of failure, and it's dangerous. If I go, I can at least guarantee my safety and escape if things go wrong. Can anyone else guarantee that? Not even you. So, it has to be me."

Collin scratched his head even harder, almost breaking the skin. "You're right, but Falcon knows you. What if he recognizes you while you're solving Billy's tests? That's what worries me the most."

"You don't need to worry about that. I have a plan to handle it."

Seeing that Collin still wanted to persuade her, Bonnie quickly raised her hand to stop him. "Alright, I've made up my mind. I won't change my decision no matter what you say."

Collin frowned, knowing it was pointless to argue further. "Then, how about I go with you? If something happens, we can look out for each other."Chapter

 

Chapter 1134

Bonnie refused Collin's suggestion without a second thought. "Two people going together are more likely to get exposed. It's better to go alone. I can adapt to whatever situation arises."

Collin sighed helplessly. "It's all my fault for being so useless and unable to help when it matters most."

"Don't say that," Bonnie said and patted his shoulder. "I charge forward on the front lines, and you handle the logistics. Doing the logistics well is also very important. Your work directly affects whether I can successfully escape from Billy's base."Chapter

Collin knew that Bonnie's words were partly to comfort him. After all, Bonnie was so capable that she would likely return safely from Billy's base whether he was involved. But even so, he would do his best to handle the logistics to add an extra layer of security for her.

"Okay, Ms. Bonnie. I'll keep a close watch and make sure the logistics are ready to support you at any moment."

"Mm." Bonnie nodded lightly. She glanced at her watch and said, "It's still early. The leader of the Dark Knight Organization should still be up. I'll call him to discuss this matter and have them prepared as well."

Collin furrowed his brows, looking puzzled. "Chief, we can handle this ourselves. Why inform them? Won't more people just make things more chaotic?"

Bonnie shook her head. "That's not right. Remember how angry I was when the Dark Knight Organization broke their promise? Wouldn't we be doing the same if we act now without telling them? I don't want to be seen as untrustworthy.

"Besides, if things go south and the Dark Knight Organization is also present, it will intimidate Billy and prevent them from making rash moves."

Collin listened to Bonnie's analysis and nodded in agreement. "How do you think of all these details so quickly?"

Bonnie had already laid out the entire plan before he could even wrap his head around the situation. Her ability was truly impressive and worthy of his leadership.

"Some things need to be thought through before acting. Otherwise, it would be too late to consider them when the situation unfolds."

Like a chicken pecking at grains, Collin nodded vigorously and responded admiringly, "You're right, chief. It seems I have much to learn from you to think things through more comprehensively."

"No worries, you're still young and have much to learn. Take your time." Bonnie gave Collin a reassuring look, then took out her backup phone to call Ivor.

On the other end of the line, Ivor's voice came through, tinged with surprise. "Is the sun rising from the west today? The leader of the Nidhogg Organization is calling me personally?"

His tone was thick with teasing, making Bonnie want to roll her eyes. "I wanted to discuss our organization's upcoming operation with you. If you're not interested, I'll hang up."

"Wait!" Ivor hurriedly stopped her, worried she might hang up. "Have you figured out your strategy?"

 

Chapter 1135

Bonnie responded, "You could say that. But it seems you don't care much based on your tone. Maybe I shouldn't have called you. Our organization can handle the operation ourselves. It will have nothing to do with you when we retrieve the chip."

She spoke earnestly and seriously. Ivor suppressed his initial impulse to joke and softened his tone.

"I take this very seriously! Who said I don't? Didn't I say before that you should inform me as soon as you have a strategy, and I'll fully cooperate?"

After all, he had been staying at Yale for so long precisely because of the chip. If it weren't for the technology within the chip, he would have already gone home to be with Bonnie. He wouldn't still be here.

He didn't want to lose this chance now that the Nidhogg Organisation had a strategy and was close to obtaining the chip.

Hearing Ivor's change in tone, Bonnie let out a light scoff. "Oh, so you do care. I thought you just liked to talk big and didn't care about the chip."

Ivor was momentarily at a loss for words. However, he decided to swallow his pride and look for a chance to argue later, considering that she held the key to the chip. The priority was to get the chip.

He shifted the topic. "What's your strategy? Tell me, and I'll see how to cooperate with you." Since he had turned to the main topic, Bonnie composed herself and spoke more seriously.

"I saw that Billy's organization is recruiting technical experts on the dark web. I decided to infiltrate their organization myself. Your job is to coordinate with my subordinates and be ready to support me."

After putting in so much effort to retrieve the chip and lending it to the Dark Knight Organization, asking Ivor and his team to do this simple task was a favor to them. However, the combined force of the two organizations was indeed quite formidable.

Since Ivor had signed an agreement with her, she saw no reason not to use this resource to ensure safety. "You decided to go yourself?" Ivor was visibly surprised. "Are you sure?"

"I called to tell you this, didn't I?" Bonnie pressed her temples in exasperation. "Why do you all keep asking if I'm sure? Do my words lack credibility?"

Ivor regained his composure and explained, "It's not that your words lack credibility, but as the leader of the Nidhogg Organization, I didn't expect you to risk your own safety."

'Infiltrating an enemy organization was inherently dangerous. While Mr. Boyd is highly capable, I didn't expect him to undertake such a risky mission himself.

'Success is not guaranteed, and failure could be fatal. The fact that the Nidhogg Organization would take this on is surprising.'Chapter

Bonnie lifted her chin slightly and said with a hint of pride, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Who else could take this action if I, as the leader, don't?

 

Chapter 1136

Ivor was momentarily stunned before a look of admiration crossed his eyes. He had to admit that Mr. Boyd's willingness to take such risks was indeed impressive.

"I understand what you mean. I'll mobilize my team to cooperate with your subordinates and ensure everything goes smoothly."

"Okay," Bonnie responded lightly. "So I'll hang up now if there is nothing else."Chapter

"When do you plan to leave?" Ivor asked.

Bonnie was puzzled by his question but said, "Probably tomorrow or the day after. Do you have other plans?"

"It's not exactly another plan; I just wanted to see you off," Ivor said with a hint of laughter.

"See me off?" Bonnie raised her eyebrows high. "Do you think I'm going on a one-way trip and won't return?"

Ivor was momentarily speechless again.

"We are partners now, after all. How could you think that?"

"Really?" Bonnie's eyebrows arched even higher. "You suddenly being so kind is hard for me to adjust to."

'Mr. Boyd is indeed courageous, but he was also adept at making sharp remarks.'

Not hearing a response from Ivor, Bonnie realized she had rendered him speechless and chuckled.

"I'm just joking. If you want to see me off, then come. It's best if you come tomorrow because I still have preparations to make."

Ivor didn't take Bonnie's banter to heart and nodded, agreeing. "Alright, I'll come tomorrow."

"Okay," Bonnie responded lightly before hanging up the phone to begin her preparations.

Ivor arrived at the hotel the next day to see Bonnie off, with Yasmine trailing behind him enthusiastically. Initially, he hadn't wanted to bring Yasmine, but he couldn't resist her persistent pleading and finally agreed to bring her along.

The moment Yasmine saw Bonnie in her disguise, she immediately gave her a bear hug. "My savior, are you really going into Billy's organization alone? Can you take me with you? I can help out." Ivor's temples throbbed as he watched Yasmine act so shamelessly. "Yasmine, come back here!"

Yasmine had promised to stay by

his side and behave before coming. But now she had seen her savior, she reacted like a puppy, darting over to Bonnie instantly. It made him wonder how she managed to maintain her cool image on screen.

Despite Ivor's authoritative tone, Yasmine didn't return to his side but instead hid behind Bonnie. "Boss, what's the matter? Didn't you come here to say these things? I'm just saying them for you. Aren't lo considerate?"

She winked at Ivor as she spoke.

 

Chapter 1137

Ivor pressed his temples forcefully, his chest heaving with irritation. "Stop talking, and come here."

He felt genuinely embarrassed to have such a shameless subordinate.

"Boss! My savior is going to such a dangerous place. Can't you stop focusing on trivial details and let me accompany him?" Yasmine argued, leaving Ivor momentarily speechless and unsure of how to respond to her audacity.

Bonnie found their interaction quite amusing. She subtly pulled her arm away from Yasmine and stepped to the side to distance them. "Ms. Yasmine, men and women should maintain a proper distance. You should listen to your boss and return to his side."

"But you're my savior! Our relationship is purely that, without any gender implications," Yasmine said, trying to cling to Bonnie again.

However, Collin stepped in to block her before she could move. "Ms. Yasmine, since Mr. Boyd has already stated that men and women should keep a proper distance, please respect that."Chapter

Yasmine pouted as Collin blocked her view of Bonnie. "I don't care about such gender distinctions. Why should you?"

Collin's mouth twitched slightly. He then stepped back to Bonnie's side and said in a low voice audible only to them, "See? I told you Yasmine liked you, but you didn't believe me. Just look at her. She's practically glued to you with those infatuated eyes."

Bonnie furrowed her delicate eyebrows, her voice turning colder. "Just ignore it. She'll naturally give up if she doesn't get a response over time."

She had sensed Yasmine's budding affection before, but it hadn't diminished after a period of not seeing her. It seemed to have grown stronger.

Collin shook his head. "Back when

you were stil presenting as a

woman, your charm attracted

suitors that could line up from here to Pyralis. Now, with you

cross-dressing, your charm has only increased. How are the rest of us supposed to live?"

"With so many people around, do you not know what should and shouldn't be said?" Bonnie shot him a big glare. Blabbing about her cross-dressing in front of everyone, his mouth had no filter. She didn't even know how to respond!

"I spoke so quietly that they didn't hear. Don't worry." Collin assured her while keeping his voice low.

Bonnie gave him a stern look. "Just make sure not to say such things in public again. Keep your mouth in check."

Upon seeing her gradually serious expression, Collin straightened up and promised, "Yes, I understand. I won't say it again."

"Good, as long as you know." Bonnie withdrew her gaze from him.

She turned to find Yasmine looking

at her with sparkling eyes, her eyebrows knitting slightly in response. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

1

Yasmine batted her eyes, cupping her chin and gazing at Bonnie with aon. "Nothing, my savion just think you look incredibly handsome from this angle.

Bonnie's lips twitched.

After shifting her gaze from Yasmine to Ivor, she spoke, "Weren't you here to see me off? Have a seat."

 

Chapter 1138

"Alright." Ivor replied, sitting down across from her. "Although your organization developed the chip, you did agree to lend it to us for half a month, considering our organization's interests. You're also carrying part of our burden by risking your life now."

As he spoke, he took out a small and exquisitely crafted gun from the inner lining of his pocket.

"This is a secret weapon developed by our organization. It can function as a tranquilizer gun, a regular firearm, or even a mini-explosive. You might not necessarily need it, but having it for self-defense could be useful in emergencies."

Bonnie raised her eyebrows in surprise at the three functions he mentioned. "How can such a small gun contain so many functions? Are you sure you're not joking?"

She hadn't expected the Dark Knight Organization to have such capabilities. They had indeed kept this well hidden, revealing their trump card only now. She might never have known about this ability otherwise.

"You can try it out in the basement." Ivor stood up from his chair. "I'll demonstrate it for you to avoid any accidental misuse."

"Alright!" Bonnie also stood up, showing interest in the secret weapon Ivor offered.

Collin, noticing their intention to go to the basement, quickly got up to lead the way. "I'll take you to the basement of this hotel. The layout is a bit complex, so be careful."

"Got it." Ivor stepped aside to let

Bonnie go first and kept a few steps behind her. It was better for their people to take the lead in an

unfamiliar location. Despite his net

current good cooperation with the leader of the Nidhogg Organization, he needed to ensure his safety.

Yasmine hurriedly followed as they started moving, "Wait for me! I'm coming too!"

Hearing Yasmine's loud voice, Ivor glanced at her coolly. "Yasmine, can you control your volume when you speak? Stop being so loud and obnoxious."

Yasmine usually spoke and acted

with decorum, although she had a lively personality. But, her exuberant nature seemed magnified, becoming more uninhibited ever since meeting "Mr. Boyd."

"Boss, I don't think my voice is that loud..." Yasmine replied absentmindedly, her gaze fixed on Bonnie.

Ivor observed her distraction and pressed his temples in frustration. "Never mind. Just remember to lower your voice next time."

Realizing that Yasmine wasn't

paying attention to his words, hez

ve

kept his instructions brief to ensure she understood. Finally, she responded. "Got it, boss. I'll keep my voice down."

She lowered her voice while pointing towards Bonnie. "Boss, could you move aside a bit? I want to follow my savior."Chapter

 

Chapter 1139

Ivor remained silent for a moment before speaking. "Why are you so persistent with him?"

"Of course, it's because he's handsome, kind-hearted, excellent, humble, and modest..." Yasmine counted Bonnie's virtues on her fingers. By the time she finished, she had run out of fingers. "He truly is my savior. His virtues are endless."

She shook her head in admiration. "He's just too perfect, like someone who only exists in my dreams."

Seeing that Yasmine seemed to fall deeper into her infatuation, Ivor felt compelled to remind her. "Don't forget what I told you. You're no match for him." Yasmine pursed her lips. "I just want to be around him and express my admiration and adoration. I don't want to overthink things."

Having the rare chance to see her savior, she wanted to cherish this opportunity. What Ivor said about her not being his match was not her concern. "You're so single-minded," Ivor said, exasperated. "I've warned you so many times, but you don't listen. You will only end up getting hurt in the end." "But I haven't even started yet. How could I get hurt?" Yasmine muttered discontentedly. "And even if I get hurt, I'd be happy to fall for him." Ivor was speechless. Yasmine would only understand once she experienced the consequences herself.

Floyd, listening to their conversation, called out, "Mr. Ivor. Mr. Ivor."

Ivor turned to look at him. "What is it?"

"I think it's a bit too early to worry about Ms. Yasmine getting hurt," Floyd said cautiously.

Ivor's already furrowed brows tightened even more. "Why do you say that? Shouldn't I remind her?"

Floyd quickly waved his hand and explained, "Mr. Ivor, that's not what I meant."

Ivor pressed further. "Then what do you mean?"

"I mean, Mr. Boyd doesn't seem to have any romantic interest in Miss Yasmine. I don't think anything will happen between them," Floyd shared his thoughts.

To his surprise, these words didn't ease the tension on Ivor's face. Instead, his brows furrowed even more.

"Are you saying Mr. Boyd isn't

interested in Yasmine? While

Yasmine's personality might be a bit

exuberant, she has many good

qualities, even if she's not very reserved..." Chapter

Ivor had always considered Yasmine to be his younger sister. Hearing Floyd's words triggered his

protective instincts. However,

Yasmine's excessive enthusin net

was a big issue and the reason for

his concern.

Floyd said, "Ms. Yasmine is great, but Mr. Boyd doesn't seem to have any feelings for her. Besides, the

leader doesn't look like someone et

who would play with others'

emotions. So, Mr. Ivor, you don't need to worry too much. Just let things unfold naturally."

 

Chapter 1140

Ivor nodded in rare agreement after listening. "What you said makes some sense."

He recalled that when Yasmine first saw Mr. Boyd and approached him, he maintained his distance and mentioned maintaining proper boundaries. Therefore, Floyd's reasoning wasn't entirely unfounded. Even if Yasmine didn't understand boundaries, there was no need for excessive worry as long as Mr. Boyd did.

Yasmine's voice rang in their ears. "Floyd, Boss, what are you two whispering about back there? Hurry up and catch up. We're almost there."

Ivor responded, "Got it. Stay close and don't fall behind."

The basement was pitch dark and had a musty smell, suggesting it had been abandoned for a long time. It would be easy to slip without careful attention.

"Okay, boss, you guys hurry up too." Yasmine was content just walking behind Bonnie, feeling a deep satisfaction. She watched Bonnie's upright figure as she bounced along with joy she couldn't quite describe.

Bonnie caught a glimpse of Yasmine's wobbly shadow and reminded her, "There's a lot of moss here. Don't jump around; it's easy to slip."

A wave of warmth surged through Yasmine upon hearing Bonnie's concern. She didn't argue and seemed very obedient, completely different from her usual rebellious self around Ivor.

"I understand, my savior. I'll walk carefully."

"Hmm," Bonnie responded lightly.

But Yasmine let out a cry just as she finished speaking. "Ahh!"

She accidentally stepped on some moss on the edge, causing her to slip forward uncontrollably. Her heart sank as she slid forward. A bad fall here could leave her@rippled with her injured leg.

Ivor and Floyd heard her cry. Seeing her slip, Ivor frowned and quickly told Floyd, "Hurry and see if you can catch her!"

"Yes," Floyd responded quickly and dashed forward.

Just when Yasmine thought it was over for her, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed her waist with surprising strength to stabilize her. Yasmine was relieved and looked up hastily. Her eyes filled with admiration when she saw Bonnie's handsome disguise. "Savior, you've saved me again."

"It's just a small thing," Bonnie replied expressionlessly while straightening Yasmine's tilted body.

"Stand firm. I'm going to let go."

"Okay." Despite her words,Chapter

Yasmine's eyes remained fixed on Bonnie's face, unable to look away. As she tried to regain her balance, a spasm of pain shot through her injured leg, making her groan softly.

"Ugh-"

Cold sweat broke out on her

forehead, and her face turned pale. Bonnie reached out to steady her shaky body again after noticing her condition.
