“Isn’t Cassandra the real daughter of the Yates family in Drieso?”
It was a shame that the Yates family’s eyes were blinded.
Only the bunch of fools known as the Yates family would value a good–for–nothing such as Yulissa.
Cassandra remained silent.
“The Yates family has nothing to do with me.”
Her response made Thunder slightly embarrassed. He meant no harm. However, it was impossible for him not to be aware of it, with her and Yulissa going viral on the internet.
What caught him off guard was Emery being the real daughter of the Yates family.
Emery was a top–ranked hacker who rejected the position of deputy chief in Hacker Alliance to return to National Security Bureau and live in anonymity.
Even so,
that didn’t mean that Emery wasn’t famed.
“Sorry. I just…”
Cassandra cut him off and uttered gently, “I understand. After all, my internet friends. know everything about it.”
Thunder refrained from commenting any further. It had indeed been inappropriate for him to broach the subject so bluntly just then.
It was a relief that Emery let the matter drop.
Otherwise, it would have been a sticky situation to clean up after.
The director of National Security Bureau still hadn’t appeared, even though everyone. present was already acquainted with one another.
All of a sudden, someone voiced out straight, “Where is the director of National Security Bureau? Why isn’t he present despite summoning all of us? The arrangements regarding our following mission, who we are to cooperate with, and our duties still haven’t even been made yet!”
“Here I am!”

Chapter 104
Daniel, the director of National Security Bureau was on his way in when he overheard his whereabouts being questioned.
He was a middle–aged man in his forties. Age had left its mark on him as his sideburns. had turned silver. It was evident that his role as a director involved plenty of worrying.
While he’d expected all of the hackers to be men, a woman was seated smack in the middle of the bunch.
Daniel mused, ‘My son would probably be about their age if only I’d worked hard earlier. Alas, I can’t break the law when I should be the one upholding it!”
“This lady is…
‘Could she be one of the hacker’s younger sisters? What tomfoolery is this?”
They were not on a field trip to the border and were tasked with an urgent mission.
“Director Walker, you probably don’t know that this gorgeous young lady who just turned 18 is Emery!”
Even the person who spoke still appeared constipated when faced with the fact, let alone Daniel. He was unconvinced.
‘Emery? Her? An 18–year–old girl? What kind of fantasy realm is this?”
“Are you serious?”
The crowd responded in unison, “Cross our hearts.”
While Daniel was taken aback, he quickly came to terms with it. After all, various. bizarre individuals from all stages of life could be found in such special departments.
Despite that, he was still awed by the fact that the renowned Emery had reached such heights at only 18 years of age. Such skill was not something the average person could achieve.
Cassandra got to her feet once they seemed to have concluded their discussion. She wasn’t accustomed to being the center of attention.
“Director Walker, what should we do next?”
She was indirectly asking him to stop gawking at her like she was a show animal as it felt mildly awkward.

Chapter 104
“The Falcon Special Operations Force’s commander will reconvene with you all later. Listen to his instructions when the time comes. Always remember that while all of you aim to rescue others, maintaining your own safety is also key.”
The bunch whom Daniel instructed were all his comrades–in–arms who had completed plenty of missions alongside him.
They were the ones who dealt with seemingly unsolvable technical problems and defended their country against countless foreign attacks.
Thus, every one of them was an indispensable part of the team.
Since the bunch had arrived earlier and had no missions assigned, they had fun in the mansion until around 6 p.m., when several strangers appeared.
However, Cassandra was familiar with who they were.
The one leading the group was Kenneth.
She hadn’t foreseen him being the commander of Falcon Special Operations Force. Her eyes focused on the badge of his military uniform and saw that there wasn’t a bar on it.
Instead, his insignia was that of a golden pine and star.
This means that Kenneth is a major general! He’s already in such a high post despite only being 27 years old! Just how many battles did he survive to rank so highly?”
Cassandra’s heart inexplicably began aching.
Kenneth was also shocked to encounter Cassandra on the battlefield.
‘What’s she doing here? Doesn’t she know how dangerous it is?”
“Commander Zelinski, these 12 individuals of mine are in charge of the information security department. All of them are present here. Feel free to command them as you see fit.” Daniel introduced them one by one and briefly touched on their respective expertise. “The only girl here is the esteemed Emery. Don’t underestimate her for being young as I believe all of you’ve heard of what she’s capable of.”
The director looked proud of himself.
‘Witness how outstanding those working under me are!”
Even Kayden, who
accompanied Kenneth, was incredulous.

‘So, Cassandra is Emery? What a mystical world we’re living in. I can’t believe someone this young who’s reached such a superhuman skill level exists!‘
Kayden eyed Kenneth silently.
“My, my. Both of them sure share the same rotten tastes and are absurdly talented. Heaven forbid that both of them won’t end up together in the future!”
“Ms. Yates, fancy meeting you here. To think that you’re the eminent Emery…
Kayden initiated a greeting to ease the tense atmosphere.
“Mr. Yates, Mr. Zelinski, long time no see!” Cassandra replied.
“Why are you here? Don’t you understand how dangerous it is?” Kenneth’s tone was brimming with concern and longing.
It was far too risky for her to remain there as war would break out at any time. ‘Who else would there be to protect her when the time comes?”
“Mr. Zelinski, I’m no coward. I’m naturally capable of protecting myself since I’m here.
Kenneth was stunned.
She was right. Emery was not like any ordinary person. She had exceptional martial prowess in addition to hacking skills.
Besides, her mind–blowing shooting skills at Spaunia could not be picked up within at
year or two.
As a matter of fact, the people of Zosteylor were the ones who should be worried.
Kenneth sank into silence momentarily before urging, “In that case, take good care of yourself and don’t get hurt.”
Everyone in the information security department exchanged glances.
‘Are they acquainted?‘
Cassandra inclined her head.
Of course, she would guard herself well and not let anyone lay a hand on her.
Moreover, what danger would there be when she was merely assisting the battle and not in the thick of the fray?

Kenneth’s glacial face softened at that, a hint of a warm smile gracing the corners of his lips. “Comrades, I would like to thank all of you for your assistance on behalf of Falcon Special Operations Force. I hope we can work together to save the 32 scientific researchers as soon as possible!”
“Yes, sir!”
Kenneth and Kayden began delegating their duties.
Each mission would be carried out in pairs, which involved breaking through the firewall, verifying intel, identifying the specific location and identity of the captives, covering for the rescue team, defending against invading viruses, and dealing with the aftermath by coordinating everything.
“All of you are free to choose whichever mission works best to your strengths.”
The 12 would be split into pairs to work together like a well–oiled machine.
Surprisingly, everyone looked toward Cassandra simultaneously.
Cassandra was tongue–tied.
“All of you can go first. I’ll be the last…”
