Pursuing Her

Chapter 17 Never Seen Him Before

The moment Sophie went out of school, Butterfly called.

“What’s up?”

“Are you at Jipsdale?” Butterfly asked. She had not seen Phantom in person ever since the establishment of Wings of Light. Now that she was at Jipsdale, naturally, she wanted to meet the young woman.

“Yes.” It was not as if Sophie was planning to hide from anyone.

“Let’s meet, then!” Butterfly excitedly cried out.

“Why?” Is there a need for us to meet each other?”

“I want to meet you! I’ve already seen the other members of Wings of Light. You’re the only one left. I doubt you know about this, but everyone’s curious about you.”

“I’m just an ordinary person.”

“F*ck, Phantom. You’re telling me that you’re an ordinary person? Phantom who topped the first in the hackers’ ranking is telling me that she’s a normal person. Are you joking?”

“Butterfly, there’s a reason for me to be at Jipsdale.”

Once she was done settling those matters, she was going to leave.

“What is it? Do you need our help?” Butterfly promptly asked with concern.

The other members of Wings of Light were all concerned about the youngest but the most impressive member of their organization—Phantom—and Sophie knew that.

“It’s fine. I can deal with it myself.”

“Phantom, you have to remember that you’re not alone. You have all of us backing you up.”

“I’m at Lumen Street. Are you going to come?”

“All right, I’ll be right there. Send me your location.”

I’m about to finally meet Phantom. The others must be jealous!

Sophie had been staying at a café on Lumen Street, which provided laptops to their patrons, ever since she came out of school.

She turned on the laptop and logged into her email account before reading her recent emails.

One of the emails was from Arius Gullifer.
