As Yue Xiaofei listened to her, the weight on his heart finally lifted.
He had known Han Duoduo would agree.
To a top-tier hacker like her, money and status meant nothing.
The only thing that excited her was breaking into systems that seemed impossible to crack and doing as she pleased in the virtual world.
"But..."
Han Duoduo changed tack. "Our opponent this time is a country, after all. I could handle it alone, but I'd be stretched thin. I need backup."
"Can you reach the other members of Reverse Scale?" Yue Xiaofei asked.
"Of course."
A note of pride entered Han Duoduo's voice.
"The captain may be away, but whenever we're needed, one call will bring everyone back!"
"Good!"
Yue Xiaofei perked up. "Contact them right away! Ugly Ox, our weapons expert; Stone Monkey, our tech expert; Jade Rabbit, our intelligence expert... I want them all!"
"We're going all out this time!"
"Heh, no problem!"
Han Duoduo agreed readily. "But they're busy people, and their appearance fees are steep. What are you going to pay them?"
"Tell them there'll be plenty to go around!"
Yue Xiaofei declared boldly, "They can kill as many of those bastards as they want!"
"Hee-hee, that's what I wanted to hear!"
Han Duoduo burst out laughing. "Leave it to Mousey! Within a day, I guarantee a full-strength, upgraded Reverse Scale Squad will assemble in front of you!"
After hanging up, Yue Xiaofei felt more fired up than ever.
He glanced at Lu Qingxue beside him. She had remained silent throughout the call, but her eyes were full of shock.
"Now we have the people and the technical support."
Yue Xiaofei gave her a confident smile.
Lu Qingxue studied him for a long moment before speaking slowly. "Reverse Scale... So you're Heavenly Dragon's younger brother."
