The location pinpointed wasn’t just any place—it was this very hotel.
This information aligned perfectly with what Vincent had uncovered earlier. TS was still here.
His thoughts inevitably turned to Katelyn.
Previously, his doubts had been casually dismissed by her.
Could it really be just another coincidence?
A thoughtful expression crossed Vincent’s face. Meanwhile, Jaxen was beside himself with excitement, like a fan about to meet their idol.
“Vincent, did you catch that location update? TS is in this hotel! Whoever he is, I have to meet him and convince him to take me on as his apprentice.”
“There are too many guests here to go through quickly. I’ll have someone look into it.”
Vincent glanced at Jaxen, his expression a mixture of resignation and understanding.
Jaxen’s obsession with TS seemed deep-rooted, more thrilling to him than any glamorous event.
At that moment, Vincent was struck by another significant realization.
“When did our mysterious ally arrive?”
His question seemed to come out of nowhere.
Jaxen looked back at the computer screen, pointing at a string of code that he hadn’t written. “Just now.”
Vincent seemed to latch onto something important.
Was this really just a coincidence?

Katelyn had excused herself earlier, claiming she felt unwell and needed to rest in her room—and now, suddenly, they had an unexpected helper?
He was certain that nothing in this world happened by chance; someone was always pulling the strings.
Without another word, Vincent walked swiftly toward the door.
Jaxen watched him leave, confused yet intrigued, and hurried to keep up with his pace.
“Vincent, have you figured out who the real TS is?”
Vincent glanced toward Katelyn’s room number. “We’re about to find out.”
He raised his hand and knocked on Katelyn’s door.
Jaxen’s eyes widened in shock, his expression one of disbelief. He was so stunned that he struggled to find his words. “Wait! Are you implying that Katelyn is TS?”
Vincent didn’t respond but knocked on the door again.
The knocking took Katelyn by surprise.
She had just completed a program designed to block the enemy’s automatic repair capabilities. Read full story at find~novel~net
This strategy would prevent them from being outpaced by the rival hacker team’s speed.
With automatic repairs now offline, any existing vulnerabilities would need manual correction. By collaborating with Jaxen, they were likely to outperform their competitors.
It was a critical moment, and any interruption could alert their opponents.
Katelyn hesitated briefly but decided to stay focused on her coding, ignoring the knocks.
Her fingers flew over the keyboard, her movements becoming a blur.
As the door remained shut, Vincent’s doubts deepened.
Unable to hold back, Jaxen finally voiced his thoughts. “Vincent, I think you might be imagining things. It’s unlikely Katelyn is TS. She’s too young to produce such flawless code.”
Jaxen believed TS’s abilities surpassed even his own, which led him to assume that TS was likely middle-aged. Priding himself on being a top-tier expert in the field, he couldn’t accept that TS might be younger than him.
Vincent shot him a brief look. His casual tone belied the seriousness of his words.
“Have you forgotten the report from a few years ago? A 13-year-old prodigy managed to breach a foreign nation’s security system and planted our flag. Age doesn’t always define talent.”
This reminder sparked a realization in Jaxen.
He rubbed his chin, still skeptical. “Yet I find that hard to believe.”
Vincent remained composed but spoke with certainty.
“Nothing’s impossible. Remember, Katelyn is also known as Iris, the renowned designer.”
Inside the room, Katelyn’s nerves were on edge. She clenched her teeth, forcing herself to concentrate on the programming task.
After entering the final line of code and saving her work, Katelyn let out a sigh of relief and hurried to the door.
When the door swung open, Vincent and Jaxen fixed their questioning gazes on her.
