Chapter 696 The Hacker Alliance

“Mr. Duncan, the Hacker Alliance has replied,” Paxton reported to Banden.

Hearing what Paxton said, Branden stopped to look up at him, waiting for him to continue.

Paxton received the signal from Branden’s stare and continued, “The Hacker Alliance replied and made it clear that they wouldn’t accept the mission no matter how high the price was unless we agreed to their rules.”

Aidan happened to be at Branden’s office for a business meeting. He knew Branden was seeking cooperation with the Hacker Alliance recently. The surprisingly high price offered by the Duncans had created quite a stir in the black market. Aidan naturally knew about it.

He asked Branden, “The Hacker Alliance refused to cooperate with you despite the high price. Had the Duncans ever offended them?” It was said a golden key could open any door. With the money the Duncans offered, they could hire anyone they wanted. But the Hacker Alliance was not swayed, making Aidan deeply doubt they had a history with the Duncans.

Branden narrowed his eyes and glanced at Aidan. His gaze was aloof and emotionless. The Duncans had offended so many people these years. But Branden was unaware of the history between them and the Hacker Alliance.

He turned to Paxton and ordered, ” Check on it.”

Paxton nodded and responded, “I’ll be right on it.”

They had just finished talking before Branden’s phone rang. He picked up his phone and glanced at the caller ID. With that, he grabbed his coat and walked out.

Seeing him leave so quickly, Aidan chased after Branden and asked, ” Where are you going, Branden? Didn’t we say to grab lunch together?”

“Home.” Branden left him one word and strode away without saying goodbye.

Aidan glanced at Paxton beside him and frowned, asking, “Why is he in a hurry? Is his house on fire?”
