Chapter 542 - Undetected

Inside Jacob's SUV.

"How much did you hear?" J asked curiously.

"Everything," Jacob replied. Obviously, he is still displeased by J's decision in making friends with Alex.

J frowned. "I thought I could trust Arthur."

"You can trust him, alright." He said glancing at her.

J looks at him. "So are you saying that I shouldn't have trusted you?"

Jacob was dumbfounded. "No."

"Arthur is overprotective of you. He just informs me that you'll be talking to Alex which was the right thing to do. So that in case something happens to you or to them, I'll have an idea. And it was me who told him to call me as soon as you and that Alex Ogden meets."

J shrugged her shoulders and thought that it was an acceptable reason. She looked outside the window and thought of something that made her blush. "You said you heard everything?" She asked shyly.

Jacob seemed to have realized what she is thinking so he replied with a grin. "Yes. Everything."

J frowned in embarrassment. He is obviously teasing her.

"Why are you grinning like that?" She started getting irritated.

"Like what?" Jacob continued teasing her.

"Stop it!" She can't take it with him grinning at her like that. It is making her more embarrassed.

"What?"

J hit him on his arm using the back of her palm. She always does that whenever she is getting irritated at Jacob.

"So there is no better options, huh?"Jacob said with a cocked head and a dimpled grin feeling proud of himself as if he achieved something that others cannot.

J narrowed her eyes at him "Congratulations on your ego."

"Haha. Yeah. Thank you."

At the Robin Hood Society Headquarters.

"Here's the list of the officials that received bribes from Steve Gold as well as the exact amount that they received." Mark Sloane handed a folder to Professor Iris Parham.

Professor Iris opens the folder and was quite surprised. "Wow! You made a diligent work."

"Yeah. I've been investigating them for years." Mark Sloane is the presiding officer and the highest-ranking official in the house of congress. He is also a good candidate to run for senator in the upcoming elections following the footsteps of his ancestors. His family has maintained a good reputation and were the most popular in the lists of senators. But no one in his family runs for the presidency.

"Hmm...these are big names." Professor Iris said after he closed the folder.

"You are right, and I have an insider that Secretary Philipp Eke also has the same list and is now investigating them," Mark said.

"If that's the case, then let's get to work. Follow me." Then Professor Iris walks towards a room. It was a huge room filled with different types of computers and supercomputers. Then they passed by an area where there are people assembling computers, laptops, cellphones and other gadgets which Mark Sloane is not familiar with being a not so techy person.

Professor Iris Parham paused and catch the attention of the people inside that huge room. "Okay, Cleo and Claude..." Professor Iris scanned around the room until she spotted the two who stood up and walks towards them.

They were twins, two of the best hackers of the Society. You can never actually tell that they are twins because aside from the fact that they were of the opposite sex, Claude is taller than Cleo. Cleo's hair is blonde which she did intentionally while Claude's hair is brown. And their eyes were of a different color as well.

"And...where are Troy and Sam?"

"Here." A deep baritone voice was heard from the corner. It was a man whose name is Troy. "Sam's out." He said.

"Call him and follow me in the workroom."

The workroom is a room adjacent to that computer lab. It is where all their missions are done. It is basically just a white painted room with a huge round table that could fit 10 people in the middle of it. It is a special room where all activities cannot be detected. In fact, the whole place cannot be detected. The Loghouse and the headquarters don't even show up in the satellites.

Inside the workroom, everyone finds their seat as Professor Iris Parham passed them the details of the bank accounts that they are going to hack.

"Nothing more. Nothing less." Professor Iris said after passing them the folders. "Now let's just wait for Madam Victoria.
