?Chapter 381:


    Once again, the call came from an unknown foreign number. In fact, the digits appeared strangely jumbled—clearly not a typical phone number. Katelyn immediately recalled the strange, untraceable call she had received earlier.


    The issue felt like a ticking time bomb, always lingering in the back of her mind, ready to blow up when she least expected it. Her instincts told her that if she didn’t handle this soon, it could lead to serious trouble down the line.


    She quickly reached for herptop, opened the ck-and-red software, and began typing rapidly on the keyboard. The phone kept ringing, and she knew she had only moments to act.


    To pinpoint the caller’s location, she needed to set up aplex code before answering, one that could lock onto the city within the global system with precision. And if she wanted an exact location, the call needed tost at least thirty seconds.


    Just then, Vincent’s phone rang unexpectedly. He frowned slightly as he answered, and after hearing what the person on the other end had to say, his expression darkened. He gestured for Katelyn’s attention before walking out, closing the door behind him.


    She couldn’t focus on him now. All her attention was locked on exposing whoever was behind this call and proving her suspicions right.


    Had Sophia really be involved with the T Organization? Could she be the one sent to take her down?


    A wave of pressure washed over Katelyn. Her fingers raced across the keyboard, moving so fast they seemed almost invisible. To anyone watching, it would look like she belonged among the best hackers in the world, with such incredible speed. She pushed herself to the limit, and just as the call reached the twentieth second, she finished theplex code.


    For most, such a feat would have been unimaginable. It was a task that seemed almost beyondprehension. With everything prepared, Katelyn hit the button to answer the call.<fn5531> Discover more novels at Find_Novel(.</fn5531>

    The voice on the line sounded distorted and unnatural. There was a mix of eerie tones, making it impossible to identify whether it was a man or a woman. The mechanical interference suggested some software had altered the voice.


    “Katelyn, leave Yata within a day, or you’ll regret it!”


    Was this an outright threat or some kind of warning? If they were acting like they usually did, wouldn’t they have just gone straight for the kill? The mixed message left Katelyn confused.


    She tightened her grip on the phone, her eyes locked on the countdown disyed on herptop screen. There was no telling when this caller might reach out again, so she needed to use every second to trace the person’s identity.


    Her heart pounded as she carefully chose her words, knowing she had to keep the call going for thirty seconds to get what she needed.


    “Sophia? Is that you? I know it’s you,” Katelyn stated. The person on the other end paused briefly before breaking intoughter.


    “Katelyn, are you so desperate that you’re trying to y it close with me? That won’t work on me. If you’re still in Yata by the end of today, you won’t live to see tomorrow.” Fifteen seconds had already passed.


    Katelyn’s mind raced. She caught the brief hesitation, whether it was a glitch or something else, and saw it as her chance.


    “You might fool everyone else, but not me. We’ve known each other too long. We’re almost like sisters. Sophia, when are youing back? I’ve missed you more than you know.”


    She tried to appeal to the caller’s emotions, pushing her words with urgency. Twenty seconds had passed. Ten more seconds. Just ten more, and she’d be able to trace the caller’s location.


    The caller said nothing, and right at the twenty-nine-second mark, the call was cut off.


    Suddenly, the pin location on the map on herptop that tracked the signal turned into a t line.
