Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

"It's fine. You guys don't have to investigate it. I knew about it already."

"Huh?"

Selena hung up.

Right then, Pollux left the Empire Group's database. "Come on, kiddo. Call me your master!"

However, Joaquin refused to say it. Besides dressing shabbily, Pollux was also rude, uncultured, as well as arrogant-this was the kind of person that he disliked the most.

Selena knew that Joaquin had never met any worthy opponents on his hacking journey. Moreover, he hadn't got into contact with any other hackers as he was too young, so it was an understatement to say he was discontented.

"Kiddo, you have to admit your defeat since you agreed to the bet, alright? Or are you a sore loser?" Pollux's words triggered Joaquin again.

However, Joaquin only glared at him harshly and didn't say anything.

Then, Selena anxiously suggested, "Pollux, I've prepared a few dishes, but I'm not sure whether it suits your taste. Still, why don't you head over to eat after so much hard work?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Pollux rubbed his nose. He hadn't noticed the food's scent at all as he was too invested in the competition just now.

"Sure. I'm hungry anyway."

After the servant guided Pollux to the dining area, Selena squatted down and placed both her hands on Joaquin's shoulders, "Jojo, are you discontented?"

"I really don't want him to be my master! He's smelly, dirty, and arrogant! He's literally uncultured!" Joaquin finally spoke.

"Jojo, do you know that there's always someone that's better than us? That guy, Pollux, is currently the holder of the number one seat of the Hacker Leaderboard. Rumor has it that there's no people or things that he couldn't find out in this world."

Joaquin looked at Selena. "Is he that powerful?"

"Of course. Didn't he hack into your daddy's Empire Group with just a random laptop that he got from us? You know full well that your daddy is a cautious person, and the company had never gotten attacked by any hackers ever since he established it."

He kept quiet. Right then, he had no choice but to admit that this beggar was indeed a powerful hacker.

"Never judge a book by it's cover. I'm sure that you know this saying, don't you?"

"But..." Joaquin couldn't explain himself.

"You're embarrassed, aren't you?"

He kept his silence as an agreement, because he was really humiliated.

At this moment, Selena finally realized that Pierre was right; it was time to let Joaquin suffer a crushing defeat because he had always felt like he was unbeatable and wasn't aware that there were better hackers out there.

Therefore, it was a good thing to humble him.

"You don't have to be embarrassed. Pollux is a genius, and geniuses are often... eccentric, so we can't treat him as an ordinary person. Let's take you for an example-you're not just like any other ordinary kid, are you? You're way smarter and mature than other kids. So, since others can

tolerate your presence, you should

tolerate his presence as well."

Joaquin lowered his head and nodded.

"If you're discontented that you lost, why don't you get him to be your master and defeat him in the future? How does that sound?"

However, he still shook his head after pondering for a moment. "Mommy, can I think about this?"

"Of course you can." Selena reached out to ruffle Joaquin's head. She understood that he was still a child and needed some time to digest everything.

When Selena went downstairs, Pollux was already eating in the dining room and had finished a few dishes.

"You're here at the perfect timing! Pierre is so lucky to be able to enjoy food from a great cook like you! Quick! Prepare more food! These are just appetizers to me!"

Selena was dumbfounded. She had prepared four dishes with large portions for him as she didn't want him to feel unwelcome; she thought that no ordinary human could finish all of these dishes!
