The next morning Sierra made breakfast for her kids.
"Mama I must say today you are so strange are you seeing someone behind our backs?" Nevaeh her oldest daughter out of the triplets asked in a firm serious six year old manner as she closed the spell book her mother gave her two weeks ago.
"Yeah mama spill who is it? Are they handsome?" Aurora asked.
Apollo frowned.
"Mama you don't need a man in your life I am the one you need!"
"Why must the man be handsome?" Nevaeh asked.
"Because it makes since!" Aurora said.
Apollo and Nevaeh frowned.
"No it doesn't!" Soon they fought over handsome guys.
Sierra couldn't help but laugh at the banter between her triplets. She smiled warmly as she watched them argue, her eyes shining with amusement.
"Okay, okay, let's not fight about it," she said, holding up her hands in a calming gesture.
"And as for your question, Nevaeh, I'm not seeing anyone behind your backs. I'm just... taking care of some business, that's all." She smiled reassuringly at Apollo.
"And Apollo, sweetie, you're right, I don't need a man in my life. I have you three, and that's all the love and support I need." She ruffled his hair, and he grinned up at her.
"But, Aurora, being handsome isn't everything," Nevaeh said, turning to her sister.
"What's important is being kind and smart and brave." Aurora pouted, but Sierra could see the wheels turning in her head.
"You're right, Nevaeh," Sierra said. "Being handsome isn't everything. But it's okay to think that it's nice to have someone who is handsome and kind and smart and brave." She smiled at her daughters.
"Now, let's finish breakfast and get ready for the day. Carter is coming over to play with you three, and I have some errands to run."
"Who is Carter?" The triplets asked and Sierra explained to them it's their god uncle which got them so excited when Carter walked inside the mini penthouse apartment the triplets all introduced themselves and they dragged Carter off. Sierra went to her room she took a long shower braided her hair. She put on ripped white skinny with a tank top and jean jacket. She grabbed her mini backpack and she walked outside her clothes were perfect fitting for her.
As she was outside her Zeken device flickered a holographic screen and she saw it was a call. Sierra was wearing a cap as well so she looked quite beautiful even in simple clothes she had a face mask that covered half of her beautiful face. She switched to audio call and replied, "It's me."
Her voice was very deep which made it difficult to tell what gender she was.
"You always decline every video call. Is your appearance beyond the human imagination?" The tone from the other side of the line sounded like a grumbling lady's. The man calling was actually Noah Reed, a capable member and social.
Sierra chuckled, her deep voice low and smooth.
"Noah, you know I value my anonymity. Can't have everyone knowing what I look like, can I?" She paused, her voice taking on a slightly teasing tone.
"Besides, I think my appearance is just fine for the human imagination. You're just curious, that's all."
He was usually the one who personally delivered mission information to her. He was especially interested in catching sight of the mysterious head boss of their organization. Every single time, however, his video calls were rejected. The saying goes that God would open a window for you every time He closed a door.
Could it be that this boss looked like he had been through a car crash?
"Hey, hey, hey, don't hang up, boss," the man said in a panic. He exhaled a sigh of regret and returned to the subject matter.
"I have transferred the money to your account. Remember to check it."
Mm."
"We received a mission to find someone. The initial offer is 100 million and I heard you happen to need money these days. Will you take it?"
"Who are we looking for?"
"I heard it's a rather incredible Miracle Doctor—a mage medicine practitioner who has perfected the art of acupuncture and moxibustion. The person showed up in the Middle East two years ago. We have a super grainy picture of the person's back. They looked like a man."
Sierra squinted.
"Who requested this job?"
"Magnus Hardcastle, the Young Master Magnus from the capital city."
"How many websites?" Sierra asked.
The International Hackers' Society, or IHS, was originally composed of three organizations. Each organization had their own respective job website. Eight years ago, another organization called The Red Shadow Crimson Dragon Phoenix Alliance suddenly appeared. Initially, they undertook the IHS's number one unsolvable mission. They completed it successfully and The Red Shadow Crimson Dragon Phoenix a household name overnight. Within half a year, theorganization rose to the top rank among the four hacker organizations.
Dragon Phoenix was their core member and all the international hackers who tried to hack into their personal information did so in vain.
The only information known about Dragon Phoenix was their code name. From then on, Dragon Phoenix became publicly known as the king of the hacker world. This title went uncontested for many years. However, this person was extremely low-key and rarely ever appeared in public. Only Vivi had ever seen Phoenix. As for the rest of the members, they did not even know whether Dragon Phoenix was a man or woman and Vivi would never, expose the secret.
Noah was puzzled by why the big boss would want to know how many websites post job got this. This job was posted to, but he did not mull over it any further.
"There were two other organizations apart from our own. However, I feel Magnus Hardcastle has a lot of money to burn. If even we can't find this person, how will the other two organizations ever find them?" He had spoken for so long, yet Sierra had not uttered a single word. He was so shocked that he moved his phone down to take a look. The moment he saw that the boss had yet to hang up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, will you take this job?
"No." With that swift reply,Sierra immediately hung up her device.
The line went dead, and Noah was left standing there, staring at his phone in surprise. He let out a sigh and shook his head, chuckling to himself.
"Well, I guess that's a no, then." He pocketed his phone and turned to leave, wondering what had just happened. Sierra's sudden and curt response had left him feeling a bit bewildered. He couldn't help but wonder what had gone through her mind, and what had led her to reject the job so quickly. He shrugged it off and headed back to his duties, knowing that he would never be able to read Sierra's mind.
Sierra sighed she was already tingled up with the Patriarch Magnus and now he is posting job to find the Miracle Doctor, Divine Healer, Dr. Sein? Isn't he far too much! She rather die than be tingled up with him once more he is already annoying enough she doesn't want to be annoyed even more.
Sierra's eyes narrowed, her expression darkening as she thought about Patriarch Magnus and the job posting. She clenched her jaw, her mind racing with memories of past encounters with him. She couldn't believe he was trying to find Dr. Sein, the one person she...
Sierra's thoughts trailed off, her eyes flashing with a mixture of anger and determination. She took a deep breath, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I'll never let that happen."
Sierra's expression turned cold, her eyes gleaming with a fierce determination. She shook her head, her voice low and resolute.
"I'll never let anyone, especially not Magnus Hardcastle, uncover my secrets. Dr. Sein, Miracle Doctor, Divine Healer... all of those identities are mine, and mine alone. I'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even if it means going up against him myself." Her jaw clenched, her fists curled into tight balls.
"I'll never let him have the satisfaction of uncovering my true identity. Never."
