Chương 418: Chapter 419: Aphrodite says "Meh"

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): How do they plan to access the safe? Do they have the code for that too?] [CEOHopkins (Earth): It's already strange that they had the access codes for the door; if they also have them for the safe, then something fishy is going on.] As the viewers watched, the leader of team two pulled out a small rectangular object from a pouch on his belt before placing it on the safe's access panel.

After it was attached, the small square, rectangular object lit up and multiple lines of green code could be seen flowing downwards on a black background. [Justiceistruth (Earth): Holy shit, are we in the matrix?] [Superhearofangirl (Earth): That totally looks like matrix code.] [Superior4horns (Vinox 3): What even is the matrix and what's matrix code supposed to be?] [Whostolemyduck (Earth): Fuck, how do I even explain this. 🫤] As Whostolemyduck tried to explain what the matrix was in the chat, everyone saw that several lines of the green code had stopped moving.

"What is that thing?" Adam asked curiously.

"It's a Universal Hacking Tool," Rowena replied before explaining, "I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it since you seem to be able to hack most things with your uniband."

"Can't most people hack with their unibands?" Adam asked before pointing at Aphrodite with his thumb and saying, "The pink-haired slut hacked the lock on our suite door using her uniband after all."

"She did?" Rowena asked while looking at Aphrodite in surprise, who, for some reason, had a smug smile.

"Breaking into someone's suite in the middle of the night isn't something you should be smug about," Lorelie said with a sigh.

"I think my breaking in worked out pretty well," Aphrodite replied happily.

"You know you just advertised that on the stream, right?" Eri asked as she pointed at the stream chat, that was going crazy about what they just heard. [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Diva Aphrodite broke into the suite they were staying in?] [AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): That's what it sounds like.] [Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Nooooo. Diva Aphrodite is a criminal celebrity. 😭] [DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): I can't believe this woman. 😮💨] [Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): It's confirmed. The pink-haired slut will do anything for sex.] [OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): Even breaking and entering, it seems.] [Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Are celebrities and divas breaking into suites a common occurrence?] [Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Absolutely not. Diva Aphrodite is just a….. Special case.] Aphrodite looked at the chat and shrugged while saying, "Meh."

"Meh?" Lorelie asked in disbelief.

"What?" Aphrodite replied before continuing, "Worse stories have been spread about me in the past."

"Such as?" Adam asked curiously.

"Interested, are you?" Aphrodite asked while giving him a flirtatious wink as she said, "Let me join your harem and I will reveal everything to you." [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Damn bitch. Taking advantage to get into the harem.] [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): I'm kind of shocked the stalker isn't here, raging about Diva Aphrodite's obvious flirting.] [1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Yeah. Where's the chaotic fight between the first girlfriend and the wanna be girlfriend? Kekeke.] [OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): I'm not raging because I know something simple like that wont be enough to let her join.] The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. [Gunlovergirl (Earth): How do you know for sure?] [OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Because the three of us have already told her what she needs to do if she wishes to join.] [Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): Wait. You're saying that Diva Aphrodite actually has a chance at joining the harem? I mean, it's Diva Aphrodite. Aren't you afraid of losing the streamer to her?] [OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): 😏] [Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): That's not an answer.] [OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): I know. 😏] [DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): It seems there is a secret we don't know about.] [Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): I will be sure to ask my god-daughter about this later.] [OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Tephe is still sleeping.] [Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): That would explain why she didn't answer when I called her. How is she?] [OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): She's fine. Just sleeping because she needs to recover her energy, apparently.] [Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): That's good. 😮💨] [Whostolemyduck (Earth): So what's the deal with that Universal Hacking Tool?] [Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): It's as the name suggests. It's a tool used for hacking into any electronic equipment, especially those that are password-protected. Unlike the streamer….. And Diva Aphrodite, for some reason, not everyone can hack using their uniband.]"How did you even hack the suite door with your uniband?" Rowena asked Aphrodite curiously.

"I know people," Aphrodite replied simply.

"You know people?" Rowena replied with a frown before asking, "That's all you're going to say?"

"While Adam is streaming, it is yes," Aphrodite replied.

"So you're ok declaring that you broke into our suite on stream but not this?" Lorelie asked in disbelief.

"Yup," Aphrodite replied with a wink. Adam was about to say something when everyone suddenly heard the voice of Number Nine. {"Status report."} {"Team Two reporting. We have located the safe and are hacking it now."} {"Ninety-three reporting. Leiko is still riding the elevator slowly up through the floors, while Chief Ryo and his team have just entered a different elevator."} {"Let's hope that their elevator is also having issues. Team Two, hurry up with the hack."} {"I'm working on it."}"Spector, slow down Chief Ryo's elevator also," Adam stated. [[Afirmative.]]"Why are you slowing them down?" Eri asked curiously before adding, "You went out of your way to indirectly report their actions, but you're not stopping them?"

"I haven't decided how far I'm going to interfere yet and if I'm even going to stop the theft. Both parties have annoyed me, and if I'm being honest, I'm more annoyed with the Noir Family, which has attempted to steal my ship several times. However, I'm also curious to learn what exactly it is that they are after." Adam replied.

"You dislike the Noir Family that much?" Eri asked with a complicated expression.

"We are not on friendly terms, but they also haven't reached the level of dislike I have for the Bounty Hunter Guild. I guess my actions towards them from now on depend on how Umeko reacts to my threat."

"Oh, that reminds me," Lorelie said as she turned to Adam before continuing, "Matriarch Maiya contacted me and informed me that the Noir Family head, Umeko, has ordered all business related to you and your ship to be cancelled and a temporary suspension on any business related to you." [StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Heh. I guess that Umeko woman listened.] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Not like she had much choice. The streamer threatened to destroy their ancestral residence.]"Temporary?" Adam replied.

"You can't really expect more than that," Rowena stated before continuing, "They are a criminal family after all. I guess that once they find out more information on your ship and how they can access it, they will start taking jobs again."

"Hmm," Adam replied thoughtfully before saying, "Maybe I should nip this in the bud before it becomes something more."

"Nip this in the bud?" Lorelie asked curiously.

"It's another way of saying, 'take care of this, '" Adam explained.

"You're suggesting attacking the Noir Family?" Eri asked in surprise. [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Yeah, baby, do it.] [CEOHopkins (Earth): Are there actions so far really worth that level of response though?] [Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): They did try to steal his ship. Twice.] [CEOHopkins (Earth): True, but they also failed and the streamer has already given them a warning. It might be best to wait and see how they react going forward.] [HackerSu (Trillion): Doesn't that make him look weak though?] [Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): I agree with CEOHopkins' opinion on this. The streamer has shown that he is anything but weak when he killed a Scorpo single-handedly. Sometimes a subtle threat is all you need in negotiation.] [HackerSu (Trillion): And if that threat turns out not to be enough?] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): Well, he always has the Planetary Annihilation Beam. 😈] [OracleRomy (Elysium): I don't think destroying the planet would go down well with the Catonians] [DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): I know I would be pissed if someone blew my planet up.] [NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Same.]"I believe Revi and CEOHopkins are correct in what they say," Rowena stated before advising.

"You have already given them a warning about what you will do should they be foolish enough to try anything again, and while we can't be certain that they won't try anything in the future, there is no point in making an enemy out of someone when it's not necessary."

"Rowena is right, babe," Lorelie said as she gently cupped his chin and looked into his eyes while saying, "Don't worry about the Noir Family for now."

"She would much rather you focus your attention on her," Aphrodite said with a smirk, causing Lorelie to blush slightly and glare at her. Aphrodite ignored the glare, however, while adding in a flirtatious tone, "So would I by the way." [Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): FUUUCCCCKKKKKK, I don't know if I can watch anymore. I'm getting so fucking jealous.] [AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): I have to admit that even I'm starting to get jealous of the streamer.] [Gunlovergirl (Earth): I'm jealous of the divas.] [Justiceistruth (Earth): No surprise there]
