First wanted to keep things simple and innocent, just like before. “No need, I think she’s teaching me well,
and she’s really nice to me. She won’t hurt me!”
“I’m not worried about her hurting you, I’m worried about…” Hugo hesitated, realizing it might not be
appropriate to share too much with a child.
Tara indeed wouldn’t harm him, regardless of her reasons. But Hugo feared that her identity might bring
trouble to First.
After pondering for a while, Hugo decided not to say more.
If there was concern, it was better to address it quietly without causing distress.
With this thought, Hugo smiled. “Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say more. But if
need anything, you can alwayse to me.”
First nodded, “Okay!”
<b>you </b>ever
Looking at First’s innocent face, Hugo felt like he was talking to his younger self.
As they continued chatting, the atmosphere gradually rxed, losing the initial awkwardness.
They talked casually, neither feeling the need to leave.
The night grew deeper.
<i>From </i>the street corner, the brightly <b>lit </b>interior revealed <b>a </b><b>father </b>and <b>son </b>sitting <b>by </b>the <b>window</b><b>, </b><b>chatting </b><b>away</b>. They seemed quite harmonious.

Tara sat in her car, watching from a distance as First and Hugo talked inside the shop. It looked like their
conversation was far from over.
She couldn’t help but yawn.
Just as she was about to find afortable position to sleep, her phone buzzed with a message filled with
gibberish.
It was their unique way ofmunication–code that only they understood.
Seeing that Kundu had started making threats, Tara hesitated for a moment before entering a Dark Web chat
room.
As soon as she logged in, countless messages popped up.
Tara didn’t need to look <i>to </i><i>know </i>what they were about–all requests for photos of First.
As a core member of the Dark Web alliance, First was undeniably the most impressive figure, yet he always appeared in the most mysterious ways. Naturally, everyone was curious.
As soon as she entered, <i>Kundu </i>messaged her directly, “Tara, are you ying hide and seek?”
“No, just been a bit busytely.”
“Busy? With what?”
“Helping First with some family matters,” Tara replied honestly.
“Is First in trouble?” Quinn asked directly.

“Kind of, but it’s been sorted out for now,” Tara replied.

Quinn finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Who would dare mess with him? Are they tired of living?”
Tara remained silent.
These things wereplicated.
Hard to exin.
Too much to say!
Seeing Tara go quiet, Quinn pressed on, “What about the photos of First I asked you to take?<b>” </b>
“Uh… he wouldn’t let me,” Tara said.
“He wouldn’t let you, but couldn’t you sneak some shots?” Quinn asked directly.
“I could… butst time I tried, he caught me and almost exposed my personal info. Do you think I’d dare try
again?” Tara retorted.
Quinn frowned, “How did he find out?”
“Who knows what kind of stuff he put on my phone. As soon as I open the camera, he gets an alert,” Tara exined. “Plus, he warned me that if he catches me again, he won’t be so nice… Do you think I’d risk it<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Tara asked.
Quinn frowned deeper. Most of their interactions with First were online. He was a man <b>of </b>few words, but
when he spoke, he meant it.
This image of him was deeply ingrained in their minds.

So, Tara’s exnation seemed perfectly believable.
“You said you’ve met him already, what else could he be hiding?” Ken asked curiously.
“Who knows!”

Ken thought for a moment. “Alright, since you can’t take a picture, just describe him to us! What kind of
person is he?” His curiosity was growing by the minute.
If it weren’t for his current mission, he might have gone to meet him in person!
Tara adjusted her position, stretching her long legs over the back of the front seat, loungingfortably and
looking rxed.
As she pondered how to exin to Ken, the image of Hugo Hodges popped into her mind. She asked, “Have
you seen Hugo Hodges?”
“Hugo Hodges? What’s he got to do with this?” Ken questioned.
“First looks pretty much like him,” Tara replied.
The difference was, one was arger version, the other a smaller one.
Once he grows up, there shouldn’t be much difference, right?
Tara felt her answer was <i>spot </i><i>on</i>; she kept her promise to First without lying.
Yes, perfect!
Ken took a moment before responding, “I haven’t interacted with him, but <b>a </b>few years <b>ago</b>, while <b>on </b><b>a </b><b>mission </b>abroad, I saw him from a distance <b>once</b>…”

“You’ve seen him? That’s perfect, no need for me to describe then, just like that!” Tara said directly.
“Specifically?” Kun asked.
“No need for specifics, just like that!” Tara replied.
What more specifics were needed? They were practically identical, like they were cut from the same mold!
Kun was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, “Damn, could First actually be Hugo Hodges?”
Uh…
The thought shocked Kun.
If that were true…
He really wouldn’t know what to do!
After seeing Kun send several messages in a row, Tara spoke up, “No, it’s not Hugo Hodges. I mean, the
appearance is just like his!”
“Not him? Then why say he’s like Hugo Hodges? Is it the looks, the personality, the methods, or the age? You gotta be clear!” Kun asked anxiously.
“It’s everything–looks, methods, personality!” Tara exined. “As for age, he’s a bit younger than Hugo
Hodges.”
She figured that was clear enough, right?
<i>And </i>she had expressed it pretty clearly, hadn’t she?
<b>Kun </b><i>was </i>silent again before saying, “I think I get it. So, someone who looks <b>a </b><b>lot like </b>Hugo Hodges<b>, </b><b>right</b><b>?</b>”

“Wow, he’s actually quite handsome. Why does First refuse to show his true face?<b>” </b>Quinn wondered <b>aloud</b>. “<b>I </b>
used to think he was hiding because he was ugly and insecure.”
Tara Green had thought the same thing.
But after meeting First, she realized her perspective had been too narrow.
“Tara, no matter what, you need to convince First. Staying hidden isn’t a solution. The Dark Web needs <b>him</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>
Quinn said, emphasizing the main point of the evening.
“I’ll try my best…”
“If it doesn’t work, I’ll go see him myself!” Quinn dered.
Hearing this, Tara’s eyebrows raised, and a yful glint appeared in her eyes.
She had anticipated this day woulde, but she didn’t expect Quinn to be so eager.
Imagining Quinn’s reaction upon meeting First…
It would probably be even sillier than hers.
The thought filled her with anticipation.
<b>“</b>If you doe, I think you won’t be <i>too </i>disappointed…” Tara said, already daydreaming about Quinn’s
encounter with First.
“You keep working on it. As soon as my mission wraps <b>up</b><b>, </b>I’ll <i>fly </i><b>over</b><b>!</b><b>” </b><b>Quinn </b>promised.
<b>“</b><b>OK</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>Tara replied, eagerly awaiting the moment.
