He has delved into the mystical arts of IT for a mere moment? Does he dare believe that I, the alpha of this pack, am devoid of sight?
Dave remained silent, his gaze fixed forward. Amidst the chaos that surrounded them, he knew that emerging victorious from this fierce battle was paramount.
His lips tightened and his brow furrowed deep, revealing his own concerns that hung heavy in the air. His hands clenched into fists as he scrutinized the glowing screen.
Tony stepped up, leading their pack in both offensive and defensive maneuvers.
Each encounter felt like a life-or-death situation, yet a sudden shift in fortunes always rescued them during the desperate moments. It was an outcome that defied expectations.
After repeated occurrences, it became clear that this was no mere coincidence or stroke of luck. It was a testament to true skill and ability.
Only someone of genuine prowess could effortlessly alter the course of events, swaying the tide of battle. Yet, Tony relentlessly played the role of a performer, putting on a show filled with feigned inadequacy, while utilizing “luck” to turn the tables.
Ha! Not only does he perceive us as blind, but he also assumes we are all fools to be fooled!
Watching from the sidelines, Ben couldn’t help but touch his forehead in frustration. Tony’s acting skills were truly lacking!
The tug of war raged on for an extended period.
Suddenly, Dave’s phone erupted into a piercing ring. Retrieving his device, he glanced at it before abruptly turning and exiting the room to answer the call.
“Hello, Alpha Kilian,” Dave greeted.
“How are things progressing?” Alpha Kilian inquired.
“Everything is proceeding as planned!” Dave declared. “Alpha Kilian, the grander the spectacle, the greater the impact!”
“I comprehend your meaning,” replied Dave, nodding in agreement.
“And what of the two youngsters? Did they pose any complications?” Alpha Kilian probed further.
Dave cast a quick glance towards the room where the children were, contemplating whether or not to divulge the truth to Alpha Kilian. Ultimately, he chose to deceive. “No, they have been on their best behavior,” he fibbed.
“Excellent! Very well, I shall end the call,” Alpha Kilian stated.
With that, the conversation concluded.
Returning his phone to his pocket, Dave reentered the room.
Approaching Tony with purpose, he commanded, “Cease this futile tug of war. Hack into their system as soon as possible and make it known!”
Tony raised his eyes, momentarily taken aback upon seeing Dave’s determined countenance. Just as he was about to rise from his seat, Dave placed a firm hand on his shoulder, keeping him in place.
“This concerns the safety of your father!” Dave emphasized. With those words, Tony could no longer protest. Left with no alternative, he could only unleash his true abilities.
“I leave it in your hands!” Dave asserted, before stepping back and relinquishing the stage to Tony once more.
Tony pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed on the computer screen. Regardless of how circumstances had unfolded, he understood that he would eventually have to reveal the truth. It was more prudent to remain true to himself.
With that realization, he turned to Miguel. “Let us launch a full-scale assault, Miguel!” Under Tony’s guidance, Miguel had already reached the pinnacle of his abilities and was ready to conquer the world.
Pure excitement surged through Miguel. Meeting Tony’s gaze, he nodded eagerly. “Certainly!”
A sudden thought struck him, causing him to turn towards Dave. “Is there a time limit, Dave?”
“As soon as possible,” Dave replied. “Within ten minutes?” Miguel raised an eyebrow inquisitively. “Alright!” Dave agreed.
Tony listened quietly, refraining from joining the conversation.
Without delay, Miguel faced Tony once more. “Can you accomplish this within ten minutes?”
However, Tony felt no need to respond with words. Actions spoke louder than any verbal assurance. Fixing his gaze on the computer, he commanded the others, “Follow my lead and attack!”
And so, the collective assault began, with all members executing Tony’s orders.
Tony led the charge, eliminating obstacles and decimating the enemy. In a matter of minutes, they successfully breached the opposing party’s system.
But Tony didn’t stop there. Deliberately leaving a message on their website, he branded Midnight Fang Pack as traitors.
Anyone who stumbled upon the site would bear witness to those damning words. The system crashed beyond repair.
Miguel removed his earphones, overwhelmed with joy. They all exulted in triumph.
“Unbelievable! Simply astounding!”
“Indeed! It was accomplished in less than ten minutes, closer to three! Is this reality or some fantastical tale?” someone questioned, his disbelief evident.
“You question whether it is real even after witnessing our successful breach? Are you a fool?” “I simply find it hard to fathom!”
“It was nothing short of a miracle!”
“Tony had complete dominion!”
“Hear, hear! Tony fooled them all! He could single-handedly conquer them!”
Miguel, too, brimmed with excitement. He turned his head towards Tony, who still sat in his chair, his feet dangling above the ground. Despite the inadequacy of the seat’s height, Tony reclined lazily, his eyes fixed on the computer screen. The faintest hint of amusement curled the corners of his lips and his eyes twinkled with a preconceived anticipation.
There was an air of magnificence about him, though Miguel couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
Approaching Tony, Miguel stared at him in awe, unable to contain his admiration. “Tony, you were absolutely incredible! Truly awe-inspiring! How did you accomplish it?”
It was beyond comprehension!
