She should have been more cautious.
The deputy team leader didn’t notice the expression on Sumr Monroe’s face and bowed to her with utmost respect.
"No problem at all. You’ve been a great help to us. Take care!"
This respect was not only because Sumr Monroe was a friend of Damian Knight but also due to her previous actions.
He truly admired this young lady.
Others also bowed in succession.
In The Vanguard, the technical departnt mbers were always the proudest, and apart from Damian Knight, they had never bowed to anyone else.
Sumr Monroe didn’t notice this at all and walked out with a sowhat dazed expression.
"Master! No, Miss Monroe, please wait a mont!" Suddenly, soone called out to her from behind.
Sumr Monroe paused and turned her head.
Seeing it was soone from the technical departnt, she turned back and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The other party bowed deeply to her and said loudly, "Please, please take as your apprentice!"
"Hmm?" A trace of confusion appeared on Sumr Monroe’s face.
The technical team leader straightened up and said, "Miss Monroe, I’m ranked 42nd on the international dark web hacker list. I’ve always thought that in Cathaysia, apart from Master Isaac, no one’s hacking skills surpassed mine. Now it seems I was rather short-sighted. I wonder if you could overlook past grievances and take as your apprentice?"
Sumr Monroe shook her head.
The other party scratched his head with regret, "I knew it, you wouldn’t accept ."
Sumr Monroe shook her head again, "It’s not that I look down on you; it’s that I’m not worthy. That piece of code should have other cracking thods that could prevent the virus’s automatic learning function, but I didn’t think of that layer, nor could I achieve it. So, I’m not fit to be anyone’s ntor."
"Miss Monroe, but..."
"I’m leaving now."
She could roughly guess what the other party wanted to say, directly interrupted him, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.
Today’s events hit her a bit hard, and she needed so ti to calm down.
Not far away, Assistant Shelton saw Sumr Monroe coming out and quickly approached to ask, "Miss Monroe, how did it go?"
Sumr Monroe shook her head, "The surveillance footage is gone."
Assistant Shelton, observing her expression, dared not ask further and only said, "Would you like to take you back to the Knight Group headquarters or to Redleaf Manor? The president ntioned that once he finishes business matters, he will return to Redleaf Manor."
"Not going back for now." Sumr Monroe paused, then said, "To Crestfall University."
"Yes." Assistant Shelton imdiately responded, ran forward, and opened the car door for Sumr Monroe.
...
Crestfall University was only a twenty-minute drive from The Vanguard. Assistant Shelton was a skilled driver, and soon the car was parked at the entrance of Crestfall University.
It was just after school hours, with sunset filling the sky.
Mio Osborne had extended his class slightly, so most other classes had already ended, but the preparatory class students were still in session.
After finishing the last review question, Mio Osborne glanced sideways and saw a man standing outside the classroom window.
The man’s attire was peculiar; despite the hot weather, he wore a baseball cap, which could be overlooked, but he also had a mask and sunglasses on, covering almost his entire face as if suffocating.
What was even stranger was that this man kept peering into the class, acting like a thief.
Mio Osborne slowly frowned.
He put down his teaching materials and said, "For howork, complete the two test papers I distributed. I will grade them by tomorrow morning, during your other classes, and will discuss them in the afternoon. Class dismissed."
After speaking, Mio Osborne picked up his teaching materials and walked outside, heading straight for the man peering through the window.
"Hello," Mio Osborne said, "May I ask who you’re looking for?"
The man was taken aback, only then noticing Mio Osborne had co out.
The man pressed down his baseball cap, thoroughly covering his face, and said, "I’m looking for Sumr Monroe."
