That evening, Roy Lewis logged into the system and first sent a message to Margareth.
"Later, I want the 0th piece of information."
In her bedroom, Richelle Dunn stared at the task instructions sent by her wealthy patron and, after a little thought, figured it out.
The previous tasks assigned by the wealthy patron indeed had several items, arranged according to sequence.
But there was no 0th task.
Thinking back to last night when someone sneaked into the wealthy patron's account, it was clear that he was setting a trap.
Richelle thought carefully and skimmed through the intel she had recently sent. She then fabricated a new piece of intel that contradicted the facts, compressed it, and sent it out.
Soon, the wealthy patron sent a concise reply.
"Received!"
This was the wealthy patron's usual style, but Richelle wasn't certain if it was really him, so she didn't reply and logged off.
