The title "Boss" threw everyone for a loop.

Viewers in front of their screens were utterly baffled. [What's going on? Boss?]

[Is this dude part of our Astar crew? Man, this is a total disgrace. Just look at him, it's like our stock plummeted! Especially with

those red undies!]

[Hold up, are these two clowns throwing shade at Astar? That can't be right, it's crystal clear Astar knows this Aaron or whatever!]

[Just look at that guy's face! He looks like he's about to burst into tears, LOL, | can't even!]

[What the heck happened here? We're all on pins and needles!]

[Seeing these two looking all shabby, they don't seem like they'd know a cyber legend like Aster. | mean, Aster's a god among

hackers back home!]

[It's like Astar wants to smack that guy.]

The online crowd was having a blast, but Chad was wishing he could vanish.

He had wondered who could crack his firewall so swiftly. If it was Boss, then it all made sense.

Just a regular operation.

Chad was still clueless about what had gone down, but he knew speed was of the essence in owning up to his mistakes. That way,

Astrid might just go easy on him.

With the live-streaming audience watching, Chad grabbed seye drops, turned away to squeeze out a few tears, then spun

back and hoisted up his little brother, launching into a sob act, "Boss, it's all this little guy's fault, messing around online and

dragging you into it. My bad for not keeping a tighter leash. If I'd known he was gunning for you, I'd never have handed over that

firewall!"

"What are you waiting for? Apologize, man! Say you're sorry!"

Chad slapped Wade across the face.

Snapped out of his daze by the slap, Wade suddenly blurted, "Bro, bro! Isn't your Boss... Mmph mmph mmph..."

Before Wade could spill the beans, Chad clamped his hand over his mouth. Quick reflexes saved the day; otherwise, Wade would've

stripped Boss of his disguise right there and then!

And that would've been gover for Chad.

"Apologize now, and zip it about everything else, or | swear I'm smashing your junk computer today!" Chad roared, and Wade, who

was frightened, straightened up quickly, bowing deeply to the camera, saying, "I'm sorry, Astar, my bad!"

Astrid was fuming at the sight of Chad. "I'm asking you, what in the world is this mess? Who told you to get in touch with this

person to play the ghost?"

By this point, Wade didn't dare hide anything. His brother's glare was lethal. If he didn't spill the truth, he was in for a public

thrashing.

Swallowing hard, Wade confessed, "There's this dark web market that specializes in doing things for people. | picked up gigs there

all the time. My client foundand askedto get someone inside Serenity Peaks to spook the place. Said I'd get a cool ten

grand if it worked out, seventy percent for me, thirty for the ghost."

"I thought it was easy money, so | agreed. Then, to avoid being tracked, | bought a firewall from my hacker bro. | thought it was

foolproof, but who knew... it'd all blow up in my face..."

Wade's voice trailed off, and Chad was itching to throttle him.

Boss's punishments were notoriously brutal; Chad couldn't bear to go through that again.

Holding back tears, Chad pleaded, "Boss, | didn't mean for any of this to happen. Please letoff the hook this time. Just give me

five minutes, and I'll track down the person behind this for you, okay?"
