Were you expecting someone else?

Chapter 47: Were you expecting someone else?

"President, he is here!" Joseph Lawrence announced the arrival of Cryptess, a man with a pot belly and a thick white beard. He carried a sachet hanging over his shoulder, smiling eerily.

"You are Cryptess?" Aiden, who was standing by the French window, swirled to find an old man staring at him.

To everyone's knowledge, Cryptess was the goddess of the Darkweb. She was said to be drop-dead gorgeous, bewitching men at a mere glance, or incredibly ugly, with a face that scared her opponents.

To their surprise, Cryptess was the man—an old man with a Santa beard?

Could this be a disguise?

"Yes, I am. Were you expecting someone else?" The old man belly laughed, caressing his stomach. He limped to the couch and began to set out his devices.

This didn't amuse Aiden; his facial expression remained cold and void of emotions.

Aiden kept his distance as the man carried out his magic. He soon breached the biotech wall.
