Chương 416: Chapter 417: Shall we make this more interesting

"Is your mum involved in the entertainment business?" Aphrodite asked while turning to Eri.

"No," Eri replied simply.

"Hmmm, it must have been someone else who hired them then," Aphrodite remarked as she returned her attention to the holographic screen. [Superhearofangirl (Earth): So here's my question. Why is the streamer just watching and letting this happen?] [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Perhaps because it's none of his business.] [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Yeah. Just enjoy the chance to watch a heist take place live. How many can claim they have seen that? Kekeke.] [LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): I have to admit that I'm also curious as to why the streamer is just watching when Alpha Entertainment allowed them to use their facilities for the photoshoot.] [OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): Probably because Alpha Entertainment's owner, Leiko, ignored his presence earlier.] [LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): What do you mean?] [OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): She came and introduced herself to the rest of us, especially Lorelie, probably hoping to make a good impression so that she might sign with them, but in doing so, she ignored Lorelie's boyfriend.] [LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): Oh boy, I can guess Lorelie's reaction to that.] [OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): She wasn't best pleased to say the least. Anyway, Adam said he wasn't bothered by it, but it seems it didn't leave a good impression on him either.]"Would you kindly stop spreading unfounded rumours about me?" Adam asked as he saw Aphrodite's posts in the chat.

"What?" Aphrodite replied with an innocent expression before saying, "I'm just telling the truth."

"I already told you I wasn't bothered that she ignored me and explained why. Regarding this, however," Adam said as he waved his hand at the holographic screen in front of them before continuing, "I have no reason to help them, even more so since their owner upset my girlfriend."

"Thanks, babe," Lorelie said happily before kissing him on the cheek. [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Fuck, I'm so jealous.] [Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Is it me, or is Diva Lorelie being more open with showing her feelings on the stream now?] [OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): Maybe she's finally gotten used to the idea of having a boyfriend. She's never had one before, after all.] [Superhearofangirl (Earth): So why did they split into two teams?] [Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): One group's job is probably to allow the other group access. Computer cores normally need people with access to gain entry.] [CEOHopkins (Earth): That's probably why one of the groups is heading for the owner's office; she's bound to have access.] [AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): So what? They plan to force her to give them access?] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): It's possible.] [Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): That's not really the Noir Family's style, though.] [Whostolemyduck (Earth): I guess we're about to find out.] As that chat discussed what the Noir Family members were up to, one of the groups reached a door that was far more impressive looking than the rest in the corridor before appearing to say something.

"It's a shame we can't hear what they're saying?" Rowena said with a sigh.

"Spector?" Adam asked. [[Hacking the uniband of the Panthera in the security control room.]] [[Access granted.]] This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. [[Scanning for communication channel the Noir Family members are using.]] [[Channel found. Broadcasting now.]] As Spector finished speaking, everyone suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice say, ["Team Two is in position. Make the call, Ninty-Three."] ["Copy that,"] Another voice replied.

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Nice. The streamer hacked their comms again.] [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): It's so broken how we can listen to their comms.] {Spector. Since you have access to both Alpha Entertainment's systems and one of the Noir Family's unibands, can you copy all data?} Adam thought after the idea came to mind. [[Afirmative. Copying now.]] After who appeared to be the leader of team one issued his orders, he and the rest of team one entered the room closest to the room with the fancy door and waited until a voice that Adam and the women recognised suddenly said.

"Yes, this is Leiko."

"Lady Leiko. There is an urgent situation that requires your immediate attention," Number Ninty-Three's voice said.

"What sort of situation?" Leiko asked.

"Your sister, Matriarch Maiya, is waiting for you in the first-floor conference room."

"My sister? She never told me she was coming."

"I wouldn't know Lady Leiko, all I can say is that she looked very upset."

"Very upset? What's got up that bitchs skirt now?" Leiko replied with a sigh before adding, "Fine, I'm on my way." Shortly after, Adam, the women and everyone watching the stream saw through the security feed that Leiko left her office and walked down the corridor towards the elevator and after she passed the office that the Noir Family members were in, they quietly came out of the office before proceeding towards the fancy-looking door that Leiko had exited from.

The one that seemed to be the leader of team two held their uniband up against the office's access panel while the other two kept an eye out before it beeped and opened, allowing them entry into Leiko's office. [Superhearofangirl (Earth): How are they able to hack the office door but not the computer core?] [Justiceistruth (Earth): That was too quick for a hack; they must have somehow got hold of, or copied the owner's door access code.] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Too quick? But the streamer always hacks that quickly.] [Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): The streamers' tech is different, remember.]"Looks like they came prepared," Rowena remarked as her shoulder gently brushed Adam's, yet neither of the two reacted to it.

"They must have done some prep work beforehand," Aphrodite remarked. ["Alright, spread out and find her access code and make it quick."] The leader of team two ordered before the members of the Noir Family spread out and began to search Leiko's office. After a few seconds, a female's voice was heard saying, ["Team One in position. Team Two, report."] The stream switched to show the other group of three Pantheras that were being led by the woman Eri had identified as Number Nine.

They were stationed not far from a set of double doors that had an electronic sign above them saying:'Computer Core.'

'Authorised Access Only' On both sides of the double doors were access terminals that were presumably used to open the doors. ["Still searching,"] the leader of team two replied. ["Well, hurry the fuck up,"] Number Nine said. Adam smirked as he had an evil idea before asking, "Shall we make this more interesting?" [Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): Oh boy, I don't like the tone of the streamer's voice.] [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Oh, this is gonna be good. Kekeke.] [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): What you got planned, streamer?]"What did you have in mind?" Aphrodite asked curiously. Instead of replying, Adam thought, {Spector, if I call Leiko, can you alter the sound of my voice so that it sounds like the Noir Family member who just spoke to her?} [[Affirmative.]] {Nice. Do it.}"You'll see," Adam replied just before he heard the sound of a sailing tone shortly before Leiko answered the call and the stream switched to show her still in the elevator.

"Yes?" Leiko asked in an annoyed tone.

"Lady Leiko, I apologise for the interruption, but are you still in the elevator?" Adam suddenly said, surprising the women as they heard the sentence twice. First in his own voice and second in the Pantheran security officers from the stream. [Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Hahaha, no way.] [StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Why is the fake security officer calling her again?] [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): You dumbass, it's obviously the streamer calling.] [AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): He somehow mimicked the security officer's voice?] [Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): I think the AI helped him.]"Oh, that's good," Aphrodite said as she shot Adam a flirtatious smirk.

"Where else would I be? I'm on my way to the first floor to meet my sister," Leiko replied.

"Your sister? As in Matriarch Maiya?" Adam replied in surprise before adding, "Apologies, Lady Leiko, but we have received no notification that Matriarch Maiya has arrived."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Leiko snapped before saying, "You contacted me only two minutes ago, saying that she's waiting in the first-floor conference room and she looks pissed about something. What the fuck am I paying you for if you can't even remember calling me two minutes ago?"

"I made no such call, Lady Leiko. I have been monitoring security feeds; every security officer is working extra hard since we have the three beautiful divas in the building." As Adam said that the three beautiful divas all rolled their eyes with small smiles. [HackerSu (Trillion): Even when bullshiting, he doesn't miss a chance to compliment the divas.] [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Such a player. Kekeke.]"Whatever, so why are you calling me and asking where I am?"

We are getting a security warning from your office, so we called to check since we can see on the security feed that you're in the elevator and wanted to make sure it wasn't a glitch." [MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): Oh, that's cruel.] [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Oh, that's bad… for the Noir Family members. Kekeke.] [Superhearofangirl (Earth): I can't believe she fell for that.] [Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): It's not that surprising. They're only on a voice call and the streamer's voice sounds exactly like that of the Pantheras.]
