The sound of the opening of the lock startled Alexander but he soon calmed down and continued his work as he knew that the only extra key of this cottage was with David.
David entered the cottage and asked curiously, "What made you laugh like a maniac?"
Alexander beckoned him and said, "When you'll see this you'll laugh like today's your last day."
David's interest was already piqued and thus he moved forward swiftly and sat beside Alexander on his bed.
When he saw the file's title and details, his eyes grew wide, his eyeballs became like marbles about to roll on the ground and he too laughed like a maniac with the same devilish tone as Alexander.
"Hahaha…. Brother, where did you get it from?"
Alexander knew that he will have to explain everything, either now or later so he just stated plainly, "I hacked Long Xie's assistant and his system."
Listening to the answer David stood up frantically and asked in bewilderment, "What did you say?! You said you can f**king hack computers?"
Alexander knew that in this world, where technological knowledge isn't advanced, hackers are existences that even the 'Great Global Peace Union' fears. Thus David's shocked state is explainable. He nodded and said, "Since I wasn't strong enough earlier to help our families, I thought of learning other things to give a hand. Thus I learned about hacking." This was all bulls**t to stop any further questions from David!
David was already excited when he thought about their family possessing a hacker! It was an existence close to Gods! He said while he looked at the file, "Brother! Let's submit this document to the alliance! These proofs will help us suppress Long family."
Alexander shook his head in rejection and explained again, "Brother! Submitting these documents will not bring us any direct benefits and moreover, the suppression will be for short-term. If we have a chance, then why not just create a long-term support for us?"
David was an expert in combat and military, devoid of his family genes of business. Alexander, on the other hand, was from a military family but didn't possess any strength to practice in the military despite his interests. So he chose to gain knowledge in business and management and thus he was more calculating.
David will surely not be able to comprehend the meaning behind his words, so Alexander explained, "Long Xie possess a huge amount of wealth and power in politics. If we just destroy him then the Long family will just introduce another b**ch and cut off all relations from Long Xie. But… If we can coerce him to work under us then we'll have power as well as money."
Listening to his explanation David felt amazed and he cursed out of his instinct, "F**k! Brother Alexander! No wonder, dad favours you more than us!"
Then he asked, "But how we will coerce him?"
Alexander didn't answer him and put his finger on lips, indicating him to stay silent and then clicked on a button on the client software with a microphone icon.
Then he got closer to the microphone of the laptop and said in a deep, hoarse and evil voice "Hello! My friend Long Xie!"
This voice was a close imitation of the system's voice.
Long Xie who was working on his laptop, sitting alone in his office was startled when he heard an evil voice out of nowhere.
He jumped off from his chair in fright and looked around, but didn't find anyone. He then walked towards the window to looked out from it but, still, there wasn't anyone.
"I must be too tired!"
He mumbled as he sat down again on his chair to continue his work.
But just as he typed another few words on his computer, the same voice sounded again, "Where are you finding me? I am right in front of you."
"Gho..ost!"
He stuttered as he looked in front of him to find an empty void.
Alexander's voice came again, "The f**k I am a ghost! I am Wang An!"
Long Xie heard this name and started to think about this recognisable yet unrememberable name.
"I don't know you! Where are you speaking from?"
"I? You don't know me? I sent you an email for lottery today morning. As for where I am speaking from is simple. Follow my sound."
When Long Xie heard about the lottery email, he cursed inside his head but didn't utter a word. He then slowly concentrated and found the source of the sound.
He immediately cursed out loud, "F**k! I didn't check Almanac today! My system is under the control of a hacker!"
"Long Xie! I thought you were dumb but you realised it soon!Kekeke!"
Long Xie bowed towards his computer in respect, not knowing if the hacker 'Wang An' is looking at him and said, "Mr Wang, why did you come to me?!"
{AN: Hackers are creatures close to Gods here! Hehehe! }
Alexander said in a serious voice, "I, the king of darkness will give you a chance! A business deal!"
Long Xie didn't dare to anger a hacker as he knew about the importance of files inside his computer and thus he said, "Mr Wang please say."
Alexander laughed a bit and continued, "kekeke… I am impressed with your attitude. I'll let you know a secret first. I have already breached into your assistant's computer too. kekeke… "
Long Xie's face became pale, his bones became soft as he fell on the floor and asked while he looked like his soul was tearing apart, "Wang! Please ask, what do you want?"
{ AN: Wang means King in Chinese.}
Looking at the pale expressions of Long Xie, both David and Alexander looked at each other and their bodies trembled while they suppressed their laughter. Alexander cleared his throat and said in a slight threatening tone, "Work for me!"
