It was already 2:00 pm. Although Tyler wasn't impressed, he was starving. He began to eat the noodles.
After finishing them, he realized that he couldn't get enough of them. "Do you have more?"
Hera fell into a momentary silence. "No."
"This tdoesn't count. Makedinner tonight." He started to look through the ingredients online.
Ignoring him, Hera finished her meal and cleaned up the mess. She threw the packaging into the trash bin so that Tiramisu
wouldn't eat it.
After placing an order, Tyler put down his phone and suddenly asked, "What's with Vulcan?"
"Do you now know who Vulcan is?" Hera questioned back dubiously.
Everyone on the Cyber Web talked about how Vulcan and S were rivals. Both of them had gone against each other online countless
times and ended up in a tie.

Did they not know each other's true identity?
Tyler narrowed his eyes at Hera. Many people affiliated with Astral Nova were aware that Vulcan was the grandmaster, but his
identity remained a mystery.
Ever since Hera attended the XS Corporation anniversary party, a lot of people—including Tyler—misunderstood that she was
Vulcan as well as the grandmaster. It was because the USB flash drive she brought along that day had Vulcan's logo.
But Tyler dismissed that assumption right away. Hera was his mentee. Although they had never met each other before, he knew
her skills very well. Her M.O. was different from Vulcan's.
Considering how she had Vulcan's USB flash drive with her, Tyler suspected the man by her side—Bernard.
"Vulcan is Bernard," Tyler pointed out confidently.
People around him keptparing him with Bernard. His pride wouldn't allow him to lose against Bernard.
The reason Tyler joined Astral Nova was because Bernard joined theanization. To prove he was better than Bernard, he joined
Astral Nova with his skills, but Bernard turned out to be the grandmaster.
Hera gave him a look in response, neither denying nor admitting it.
Hera decided to play dumb. She might not know the rules in Astral Nova, but the identity of the grandmaster had always been a
mystery.
"Why did you prohibitfrom investigating the Killian family?" she averted the topic.
Tyler stood up and brought his bowl and cutlery to the kitchen. He walked out of the kitchen and replied languidly, "They're
"That's it?" She arched a brow.
"Curiosity can kill a cat, kid," he reminded her.
She scoffed coldly. She actually thought that he knew more than she did, but she got it wrong.
She rose from her seat, preparing to leave the place.
"Someone's following you and wants you dead. Do you know that?" Tyler suddenly mentioned.

She stopped as she recalled the man in the park.
He abruptly pushed her onto the dining table. She groaned as the weight of a grown man weighed on top of her.
"What are you doing?" She tried to push him away, but she was no match for his strength.
Pinching her chin, he turned her face to the side and lowered her voice. "Look at the wall."
Baffled, she finally noticed a red dot on the wall.
A sniper! It was aiming at where she was sitting a moment ago!
The red dot vanished, and she quickly looked back, only to see a familiar face showing up in the living room out of nowhere.
The man's face was grim, and the temperature plummeted to an icy degree.
Hera's heart surged to her throat.
What was Bernard doing here?
Bernard made huge strides to drag Tyler away from her and punch him in the face.
