Chapter 517 - Can I borrow the best hacker?

Today is the mid-month council meeting of the Robin Hood Society. The council's including J and Jacob arrived at the headquarters at Naupaka Mountain. Ever since they were introduced to the council, they started attending the council meetings.

The mid-month council meeting is held every month to discuss the last mission and to decide on what mission to take for the next 30 days and then they will organize a team for that mission. The Society never plans for a long term mission, all planned missions should be executed within 30 days after it was constructed. They only plot one mission for the next 30 days.

Others would call it a heist but for the Society, it is a mission.

"Anything in the government?" President Martin asked looking at Mark Sloane. "We have been focusing recently in the private and informal sectors forgetting about the dirty under the table business going on around the government."

Mark Sloane taps his finger on the table and said. "How about Mr. Steve Gold's?"

Everyone looked at him, "Do you think it is high time?" President Martin asked.

Mark Sloane nodded his head. "An official is already silently investigating him."

President Martin leaned back to his seat and pondered for a moment. Steve Gold is a businessman owning a multi-billion business empire in the country. His business started in Lotus City and slowly progressed all over the country. The Robin Hood Society has been diligently watching over his business for years now with the help of Mark Sloane. And over the years, they have found out that Steve Gold's business was involved in tax evasion and economic sabotage and a couple of high-level government officials are receiving bribes from him to protect him and his business.

"Do you have all the evidence?" Someone from the council asked.

"Yes. I've already compiled all the evidence." Mark Sloane replied confidently.

President Martin looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone, what do you think?"

"Since an official started investigating Mr. Steve Gold, it would not be long until it became public, Mr. Gold and the high-level officials accepting bribes from him will be more cautious and meticulous." General George Lee said.

"That's right. Mr. Gold and these officials might start liquidating their assets and erase all traces of their transactions. It was just right for us to start acting before all of Mark Sloane's effort go to waste." Police Major General Alejandro Sato said.

"Okay, Sloane. That's our mission for the next 30 days. You'll lead this mission and you may start forming a group. You have someone in mind?" President Martin finally settled on a mission and now he wants to start the planning.

"Hmm... not really. I might just be needing a couple of Professor Iris's hackers." Mark Sloane replied. "We need them to hack the bank accounts of the high-level government officials involved in this case to pull out their money from their accounts."

"Well then, I was actually wondering..." Professor Iris paused to glance at Jacob's direction. "If Chairman Jacob would be willing to lend me the best hacker in the world." She said in a sheepish smile. The identity of Daniel Li as the best hacker in the world has always been a mystery, no one knows it except for a couple of people and it is not surprising that Professor Iris knows it.

Everyone looked at her with curiosity. They were all wondering if Professor Iris knew who is this infamous hacker and what is his relationship with the Chairman of Twelve Army.

Jacob smiled at her not surprised at all. "I'm sorry but he is exclusive unless the mission has something to do with Novus Rex." Jacob didn't mention that that hacker is one of J's security. "Maybe in the future, if the problems with Novus Rex has been resolved."

Professor Iris nodded her head. "I understand. I am looking forward to be working with him."

"That would be great."

"Well, I guess I'm going to have to lend Mark Sloane the best hackers I have." Professor Iris said confidently.

"Is it still safe to hack into bank accounts? I mean, most of the banks these days use two-factor authentication. If someone tries to make transactions using my bank account, I will quickly find it out. Because once my ID and password were entered for undertaking bank transactions, I will eventually receive a one-time temporary password via text message. Without it, no one can access my bank account." One of the council members, Robert Mayo, who seemed to not have any knowledge about the current technology voiced out his doubts.
