"Eh? You are…"
"Hello, uncle." Sera was smiling at the old 'uncle' who sat inside the private tea room. He was wearing a suit that looked two sizes smaller than him. He squinted at her.
"You look different."
"Thank you," Sera said as eyed the sitting area of the teahouse. This isn't some traditional teahouse but a foreign one. There were no chairs or couches inside the small five-by-five room. Instead, there were pillows that one could use in sitting on the carpeted floor.
The smell of sweet brewing tea coated the room.
She removed her stilettos while cursing inwardly. She had to wear taller stilettos to make herself five foot two self taller and fool the people following her. Moreover, she underestimated walking in the streets with these types of shoes. Because of this, her feet were already aching.
But she could only complain inwardly and act calmly in front of the old man.
"Your uncle wanted me to sell my shares. He knew you visited me at that time. He told me he would double that price that you offered." Mr. Tan immediately went directly to the reason why he called her to see him.
"But you told him, no. Right?"
"Of course. The shares were already under your name!"
"Good." Because of the video, the stock prices were still at the lower end of the spectrum. It wasn't showing any signs of increasing any time soon. However, once Quinn Industries would take over, she was confident that the stocks would immediately shoot up like a rocket. "But you didn't just ask me to see you because of this?"
The old man grunted. "I need your help."
"Help?"
"I will give you this…" He pushed a small velvet box that looked like a case of an earring and necklace set to her.

"These are… sparkling. Too sparkling." Sera smiled. She only opened the velvet case halfway before she closed it again. "But I don't need diamonds." Moreover, if her guess was right, these diamonds were stolen from the Fu Family. "But… Mr. Tan… I just want to say that you are very fast. I already expected that you would attack them from the information that I gave them. However, I never expected that you would do it in the next twelve hours."
Crazy.
This old man is crazy.
No wonder people hated him and the Fu Family had been plotting to bring him down.
"Ah… hahaha… thanks to that information… I was able to get back at them for killing a few of my people." The old man poured himself another tea before he added. "Take it. It is compensation for what you did."
"Mr. Tan, unfortunately, I don't like shiny things." Why would she want to hold something that would incriminate her? She wasn't that crazy about money!
"You— "
"If you really want to compensate me, then… why don't you give me some shares from your company?"
"Eh? You brat! Do you really want to become a part of my company?"
"I have analyzed your profits and the idea of your online businesses and I believe they are going to get bigger in the future. After all, this is already the land ruled by the Internet." Tan Enterprise is focusing on creating a huge online selling platform where small-time online sellers could safely sell their goods. Sera immediately knew that this is going to turn bigger soon.
Of course, she wanted to become a part of it!
She wanted to make the money work for her! And receiving dividends sounds very nice to her ears.

"Alright… if you help me this time, I will give you five percent shares."
"Five? That's too— "
"Five percent is worth millions."
"Mr. Tan must be joking. This little ancestor of yours is worth billions. Why would I think about a few millions?"
"You really…"
"How about you give me ten percent? You think about it carefully. I am an IT expert. I have connections on the dark web. I can help your platform become more successful in the future. Think about this as… an investment."
Mr. Tan narrowed his eyes but didn't say a word. He started tapping the square table in between them. Seeing this, Sera maintained her silence.
This businessman had been in the industry for years. She was confident that the old man is brilliant enough to know that Sera was indeed an investment.
"Alright! Ten percent!"
"Then I am willing to hear about the real reason you wanted to see me!" Sera uttered almost immediately.
"It's like this… I need someone to delete some traces on the internet."
"Not possible. No one can actually do that."
"But the movie…"
"Bullocks," she said. "As long as there are CCTV's around you, everyone can find you. This world is like the world ten years ago. The evolution of the web is scary and not even the best hacker could do that."
Mr. Tan pursed his lips.
"You wanted me to help you hide your son?"
"How did you— "
"Internet," Sera answered.
"I thought I have kept him a secret…"
"He has his own Twitter account. What do you mean by keeping him a secret? True, you can't see him if you search his name on social media sites, but what made you think he was using his real name?"
"That…"
"He should be… twenty? Twenty-one?"
"Twenty-three…"
"Ah… my age."
"Yes, your age."
"Does he know about you?"
"Of course, he does."
"Then… did you tell him that he needed to hide his identity as your son?"
"Of course!"
"But he is acting like a normal college student. Well, in college, only a few people don't have social media. Most communications about were done on social media and the Internet. So, you can't really blame him about that."
"Then… what can we do about it?"
"Hmmm… I can't delete his social media. He would only make one. Maybe you can… imprison him in a tower somewhere?"
"That— "
Sera smiled. "I am joking. I can easily help you. I can create something that would alert us if someone would try to search his name on any social media platforms or search engine platform on the planet." Seeing the old man's eyes widened, Sera added. "What do you think, Mr. Tan? Are you willing to give me 15 percent of the shares now?"
