The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

168 A Lazy Man

“We need information regarding the Creeper. Phone number, email addresses, and social media of Oscar Chopper and his accomplices. Please also find out about all their branches.” Emma asked, ??which Danis quickly wrote down on a piece of paper.

“What are you planning to do with it?” Marcel asked curiously.

Emma nodded, “We will trap Oscar Chopper into wasting the money from the street business for his personal use and make him couldn’t give monthly income to the central Creeper. Even if we could, we have to clear out all the money in his group account. Of course, that would make Lee Mu Fei mad because they should put the group first than personal needs.” Then she looked at Danis who was already sitting on his computer chair, “Can you do hacking?”

“Hacking? Actually, I.. I still need to learn,” Danis replied, stammering. His guts immediately shrunk for fear of being killed by his superiors for his incompetence in the field that he should be good at.

“Then learn it, because you will do it in the next few days.” Rachel said mercilessly.

“I’ll come here again tomorrow. Tell Danis to get ready because I’ll be working alone with him.” Emma said to Marcel and Kenny. They were already in the basement.

“What are the details of your plan?” Marcel asked curiously.

Emma shook her head as she put on her helmet, “You’ll find out later. I wish I could count on that kid.”

Emma and Rachel finally left RJC’s headquarters. Their move to team up with RJC was successful. Now they already had the strength equivalent to one large group that supervised hundreds of strong members.

.....

“Are you sure you’ll be coming there alone tomorrow, Emma?” Rachel asked as she rode the motorbike with Emma on the back seat.

Emma nodded, “It’s ok, Rachel. Your side job can’t be left behind. During that time, you can create scenarios to provoke the factory workers.”

“All right. I’ll ask my grandfather for more information. He’s not too smart to be suspicious of any of my questions.” Rachel answered.

“I’m sure this will work. We all can knock out the Creeper by the roots and RJC doesn’t have to fight Calvin and Troy.” Emma said.

Oscar Chopper was a lazy man who got a dot of luck. He said, lazy people would find the simplest way to get the job done. Yes, that was exactly what he did.

Oscar was lazy to work to make a living. The moment he met the Lee Mu Fei, his cunning brain immediately worked. He used the man who came from the village to make a kingdom for him.

It seemed that Oscar never consider his social media. He’s been quite active on it since high school. It seemed that he never thought that his enemy would spy on the social media he set up as a ‘Private’ account. He never thought that one day, whatever he had shared on the internet would be a boomerang to destroy him.

Emma Hilland disguised as Black and sat in a chair next to a bespectacled man. It seemed that Danis’s hacking skills were not as good as Kathy’s. Since he was unable to log into Oscar’s account, Emma provided another solution.

The solution was by creating a social media account in the name of one of Oscar’s friends whom they previously searched for with the ‘Stalking’ technique on social media. It was a technique to find out about other people’s lifestyles that Poppy and Kathy often did. Usually, the two girls did this to find gossip about the members of the popular girl group on campus and their boyfriends.

It didn’t take long for the fake account to finally get friend approval from Oscar. From there, Emma could judge that Oscar was too jobless so he often opened his social media.

“Hm.. He’s so narcissistic, isn’t he?” Emma muttered as she continued to scroll on the computer mouse.

It could be seen that Oscar very often uploaded photos and statuses on his social media. Almost all of the photos showed his wealth and luxurious lifestyle. Yes, he was the type of person who used social media to show off. This made Emma upset because he got all those luxuries from the earnings of crime that cost many innocent people.

Although she was disgusted to see the photos that Oscar uploaded, Emma was happy because she could find a loophole to deceive him. After conducting stalking, Emma found out that Oscar liked nightlife and gambling. It appeared from some of his photos which show that he went to Jen Marrie Street to have fun sometimes. In addition, Oscar also connected his social media accounts with several online games.

Emma smiled widely for everything she had seen. The brown-eyed girl then turned to Danis, “Can you make a website?”

***

The finger kept sliding the phone screen from bottom to top. It was an activity he had been doing since two hours ago. His two blue eyes seem to never get tired of watching videos that were served by the internet.

Suddenly, a message appeared on the screen of his cellphone.

‘NO.1 POKER GAME IN THE WORLD. Here is a gathering site for the best gamblers around the world! Join thousands of gambling masters and prove that you are the No.1! Win tens of millions of dollars in just one game! Click this link below and show off your skill!’

Oscar frowned. It was a text message with the sender’s name ‘777’ written in red, something Oscar had never seen before.

“No.1? You don’t know who I am?” He muttered by lifting his feet onto his desk which was always neat and clean. That was because he never used it for work other than to support his legs.

Without thinking, Oscar swiftly clicked the link listed in the short message. He was immediately directed to a glimmering website. Really, the page was very eye-catching. Oscar also felt that he had seen such a luxurious look while gambling overseas. It looked like the big screens on buildings in Las Vegas.

As it should be, the first thing you do before playing an online game was registering an account or enter an existing one. As usual, Oscar would link his proudly social media account to the game. He did this so that if he won later, he could show it off on social media and make many of his poor friends jealous.

However, there was something a little different about this game. After he finished connecting his social media accounts, he couldn’t play right away. He must first fill in the balance which he would later use to bet. That was a fairly natural thing in online gambling games. However, what was unusual was that the way to top up the balance was different from usual.

When selecting ‘Fill Balance’ on the page, a column suddenly appeared and said,

‘Fill in the code we sent via text message to verify the account.’

Two seconds later, a short message entered Oscar’s cell phone.

‘This is a secret code. Don’t give this code to anyone! 198375’

It was a message from another number, not from 777. But Oscar didn’t pay much attention to it and immediately filled the secret code into the verification field.

‘Thank you. We are currently processing your account verification! Don’t leave this page. Please wait for a few minutes!’

“Hm?” Oscar muttered. So far, he had never seen the process of getting into a game so complicated. But he thought that it might be because it was a special game only played by professionals.

Because the process was still ongoing, Oscar decided to go out to eat at a fast-food restaurant that sold his favourite cheeseburger as waiting. With the excuse of being lazy to wait, he left the phone locked and put it on the table.

What Oscar didn’t know was that now all his accounts had been hacked by someone he didn’t know. Through the verification code, he allowed the stranger to gain access to all his social media accounts even to his digital bank account.

Oscar didn’t know what disaster was about to happen. He was devouring a large burger with four bodyguards surrounding him. More or less, he had been at the fast-food restaurant for half an hour.

A man who was Oscar’s subordinate approached him with a cell phone in his open palm, “Pardon interrupting, Boss. This is a call from commander Lee Mu Fei.”

“Afei?” Oscar muttered with his full mouth. He grabbed the phone and put it to his ear, “Hello, Afei! How are you?”

“Oscar! Are you crazy?!” Afei growled from the other side.

Oscar then frowned in confusion, “What do you mean? I don’t understand. What happened?” He asked in a muffled voice as his mouth was still filled with food. He immediately chewed the food quickly and drank a cup of soda from the table.

“You took all the money in the second account for online gambling! What’s not crazy about that?!”

“What?! I didn’t do that.” Oscar denied it after swallowing his food whole until it hurt his throat.

“You still dare to deny it? You even share it on your social media! I can’t believe you dare to use group funds for your gambling game, you bastard!” Afei growled.

“W-what? W-wait, Afei. I really didn’t do it. My cell phone is at the office. I’m outside right now,” He explained with a pounding heart. He immediately stood up, about to leave the fast-food restaurant.

From the opposite line, Afei could only sigh in annoyance. He knew there was no point in throwing his anger on the phone. He was so fed up with Oscar’s behaviour. That man still dared to deny even though there was clear evidence. “You’d better clear this up, Oscar.” he hissed before hanging up the phone.
