Chapter 5 Encounter

The computer screen displayed a scene of various codes jumping around, with two distinct sides fiercely battling, evenly matched. Travis narrowed his eyes. The opponent seemed quite formidable. Having won the first prize in an international hacker competition during his youth, Travis was a prominent figure in the hacker world. Those who could match his skill were few and far between! The opponent further piqued his interest! As Travis's fingers flew across the keyboard, the opponent, refusing to back down, fought back. However, just as the opponent seemed most determined, the screen suddenly went black— A message appeared: [Badass daddy, we will meet again!] A few seconds later, the screen jumped back to the game scene with Mark. Travis's expression was dark. Very well! He gritted his teeth in frustration. Rarely could someone ignite his fighting spirit, but the opponent disconnected just as he was gearing up for a fight! His fingers once again swiftly tapped on the keyboard, seeking to trace any clues to the opponent's IP address. However, the opponent proved meticulous, encrypting all intrusion attempts. Travis gazed at the screen and made a call. "Inform the technical department that their salaries for this month will be halved!" ... Meanwhile, Leroy forcefully cut off the connection. He hastily grabbed a large bottle of cola and gulped down a mouthful. "That really scared me!" "What's the matter?" Zoya widened her eyes, curiously inquiring as she approached. "I never expected our dad's hacking skills to be this formidable! I almost couldn't hold my ground." Leroy still shivered with fear. He encountered such a formidable opponent for the first time! The others were equally surprised. It's worth noting that Leroy was a renowned hacker, known for his elusive nature. Encountering such a strong adversary as their dad was truly unexpected. Zoya, with an air of maturity, propped her chin and nodded in satisfaction. "Our dad did not disappoint us. He deserves to be our dad!" Upon hearing Zoya's words, the others displayed pensive expressions. Kevin nodded in agreement, "Zoya is right..." However, before he could finish his sentence, the door was suddenly knocked. Sabrina's voice echoed from outside, "Kids, why did you lock the door?" Upon hearing their mom's voice, Leroy immediately shut down his computer in a guilty rush! His mother had warned him against using hacking techniques, even though he was doing it to find his dad... Zoya opened the door. As she did, Sabrina saw the kids with watery eyes staring at her. Although she knew her little ones were exceptionally adorable, Sabrina was still overwhelmed by the sight before her. She quickly composed herself and beckoned to the five kids. "Come out, Nicole wants to treat us to a grand feast!" "Nicole is the best!" ... In front of the villa's gate stood a stretch Lincoln, capable of seating nine individuals. Beside the car were Nicole and the driver, waiting eagerly. As they emerged, Nicole greeted them with a beaming smile. "How do you like the gift I've prepared for your return to the country?" "I love it!" Sabrina ran over and planted two lipstick marks on Nicole's face! With her five kids, a standard car wouldn't suffice for outings. Just a few days ago, she had been eyeing this car, never imagining that Nicole had already bought it for her! "Nicole!" Among the five, Kevin called out suddenly. Nicole and Sabrina turned to see the five kids lined up, holding hands. "One, two, three, thank you, Nicole!" They even simultaneously gave a respectful bow to Nicole. Amused by the kids's antics, Nicole waved. "Hop into the car, you little rascals!" The five swiftly boarded the car, with Nicole and Sabrina following behind. "To the Ocean Hotel." The Ocean Hotel, situated by the seaside in the city, attracted many dignitaries and elites. To avoid being recognized, Sabrina wore oversized black-framed glasses. Although it didn't entirely disguise her identity, it was enough to prevent people from recognizing her. The car smoothly parked in the hotel's lot. The two elegant ladies and five adorable little ones exited the vehicle, heading towards the hotel. "Mommy, I need to use the bathroom." Upon settling in their reserved private room, Zoya suddenly raised her hand. Sabrina patted Zoya's head and then glanced at the other kids, "Anyone else needs to go?" "Me! Me! Me!" The other four raised their hands. "Alright, then Mommy will..." "We don't need Mommy to be with us. We're all grown up, only kids ask adults to accompany them!" Zoya interrupted Sabrina. The other kids eagerly agreed, clearly wanting to assert their independence. Sabrina hesitated but ultimately agreed to their desire for autonomy. With the bathroom just around the corner from their private room, she nodded. "Off you go, remember..." "Don't talk to strangers, don't eat anything from strangers, and don't follow strangers!" Leroy completed Sabrina's sentence, then added, "We all remember!" The five kids rushed out towards the door, leaving Sabrina behind looking somewhat helpless. Just as the five kids left and were about to turn the corner, Zoya suddenly halted in her tracks. "We have a situation!" The other four crowded around her. At the entrance to the restroom stood a tall and imposing man, accompanied by an alluringly dressed woman. The man exuded a dignified and aloof aura, garnering the attention of passing women. Wasn't he their daddy?
