the fourth roommate
Ethan’s P.O.V.My face almost fell on the toilet seat after I finished vomiting the fifth time after finishing the mission.No strength was left in my body by now.Still, I used the last ounce of strength to flush the toilet but saw stars in front of my eyes.So, instead of trying to get up, I moved away from the toilet seat and lay down on my back.I must have looked pathetic lying on the bathroom floor, but I didn’t care about the image.I only wanted to catch my breath and to regain some strength so that I could get up.“The last four minutes were so intense that my head started spinning in the end.I managed to finish the mission, but not on my own.But with the help of that User-Z.Now I was facing the backlash of using the system’s help to finish the mission.Means using those codes.Nothing comes for free, and the system proved it in its weird way.I didn’t open my eyes when I heard the bathroom door open.“Give me a few more minutes, Mr. Campbell. I need to clean up.” I said t
a chaotic battlefield
Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)I forced myself to breathe evenly. Now I needed to keep myself hidden from all of them.My fingers resumed dancing across the keyboard, keeping one sentence in my mind that I had read somewhere a long time ago.In a state of chaos, only cold minds survive.Emotional ones die.The unknown hacker continued reconstructing the deleted indexing table with frightening speed.Meanwhile, the man with the rings was already tearing through backup mirrors one after another.I was still trapped between them, but I managed to hide myself behind the third person.Ashton wasn’t doing anything. He was just watching the footage through the surveillance, but I was sure that he had something on his mind and he would do something drastic tonight.The system also asked me to destroy this gang and provide their information to the authorities.If Ashton planned this ambush, then he must have hacked their server or their phones.A new line suddenly appeared inside the server logs.

Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)The system screen took the worst time to appear in front of me.[the countdown begins]It announced in a cold and mechanical voice, and a digital clock started a slight over my head.Damn it.I glanced at the right corner of my laptop and grimaced.It was exactly midnight.For a few seconds, my fingers froze on the keyboard.I was skilled, but not skilled enough to do two totally different tasks of hacking and erasing traces at the same time.Not when the person opposite to me was that man with rings.Not when a timer was ticking right over my head.Once again, I was in a dilemma about what to do first.The man was now searching for the footage, too.If I leave this right now, I will be caught by him, and then he will turn the world upside down to find me.If I leave the mission right now, the system will punish Iris.It felt as though someone had deliberately cornered me from every direction.The timer floating above my head continued its merciless countdow
I forgot
“You forgot the first rule of survival in our world, Cooper. Don’t touch anyone without knowing his or her true identity.” My voice was cold, but firm.Cooper just whimpered on the other side.I felt disgusted by his reaction.He was the leader of a gang with fifty members, and yet he was whimpering like a dying cat.Pathetic.My eyes were still glued to that silver howling wolf in both the footage.This wasn’t just a coincidence.This can’t be.“Just get the f**k out of there and run wherever you can,” I yelled at him, feeling my temper.I felt as if I had seen this print somewhere else before, but couldn’t remember where.And it fueled my anger more.I hung up Cooper’s call and tried to remember where I had seen this wolf.This was important to me.Like an important clue of a treasure that was already in my grasp, but still far from my grasp.I closed my eyes and tried hard.“Brandon.” I called him stiffly, suppressing my anger so that I could think carefully.“Yes, boss?” he asked

Third Person’s P.O.V."Everything is under control, Mr. Dickson. You don't worry. No one will get a whiff of your dealings in that casino. You have our words." Brandon replied to someone over the call, sounding patient, but I could see his face changing color from red to black.I didn't feel pity for him, though. For the past three weeks, things haven't been going well with our operations.He almost threw his phone on the desk after finishing the call.“We lost billions in just two weeks, boss, and we still don’t know what exactly happened in those three casinos.” Brandon, my deputy, spoke to me in a pissed tone, going through some data on his laptop.I didn’t pay attention to him but continued looking at the recording of the previous three cyber-attacks on three of my casinos.They weren’t that big, but they were still worth millions.My fingers continued drumming at the edge of my desk softly.For the past five days, I had watched these recordings to understand the pattern and also
their friendship
Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)What were they doing here?[Mission: Help Ashton Stone catch his attackers tonight]Nathan chirped, waving at Walter enthusiastically.“Hey, Walter, Iris. Did you guys finish eating?”[Caution: Don’t get caught]“What are you guys doing here?” I asked them anxiously while standing up.The system screen continued flickering in front of my eyes.“Why can’t we be here? This is also the school premises?” Nathan questioned me while glaring hard.“What did you guys eat? It smells amazing?” Gavin asked me while eyeing my plate.[Duration: 30 minutes after the countdown begins][Time to carry the mission: midnight]“Cheese meatball pasta. Ethan’s favorite.” Walter answered cheerfully.The screen was changing quickly, and with their conversation going on, I was having a hard time concentrating on the mission.“They serve you something like this?” Nathan asked this time, and before I could react, he took my fork and scooped some pasta from my plate.“Nathan, wait,” I
