32 Retribution. *

I signaled the team to get ready to track down Disaster, while I played along and deleted the pictures hidden in some server, at the same time sending Ian a gift.

[Disaster: It's an honor to meet you, Storm, but don't think it will be easy to finish me off. It doesn't matter how good you are.]

[Storm: we'll see about that.]

I kept deleting the images for more than half an hour, and attacking Disaster with viruses and tracers, preventing him from noticing the team trying to break into his system.

On the other hand, I think Ian already discovered the little gift I sent him.

"Eva, the news is on TV," Lucas walked into the room and turned on the screen. I could only laugh at Lucas's expression. He was laughing so happily. Well, he should, on TV, my brother Ian was being followed by paparazzi and reporters who kept grilling him about his affairs with a certain wife of a well-known politician.

It was said that he slept with a lady twice his age to make a profit on his projects. The videos and photos of the two of them meeting in a hotel had been spread thanks to me in all networks and in all known forums.

However, that was not the real dilemma, but the response of the famous politician. Right now and at the same time, he was giving a press conference announcing the divorce from his wife. Though, he didn't clear up the reason. 

Lucas could only laugh, finally that idiot Ian had his deserved punishment, at least a little.

"Almost there," I whispered as I kept typing at full speed. I have to say that Disaster was impressive, more than impressive, he was extraordinary. Normally it would take me a few minutes to finish something as simple as deleting some photos. After all, the technology that I used in my world was more advanced than that of this world, perhaps by five or seven years.

But Disaster could follow me closely. It was as if he also came from my world. Maybe...

I continued, and, in the end, he succumbed to the attacks. The photos were completely erased and if he ever tried to send or upload them, my system would immediately identify it and delete them, plus it would destroy his computer.

"Did you find him?"

Vin and the others sighed but shook their heads. "He's very fast, we couldn't do anything to find him."

[Disaster: you're good.]

[Storm: You too, why are you working with Ian? Did he give you money? You could come to my team.]

[Disaster: I don't like to tie myself to anyone, Ian paid me well. That's all, no hard feelings.]

[Disaster has logged off.]

I didn't believe him. As much as Ian could pay him, it wasn't worth the risk of another hacker finding out his identity. He knew that Vin was looking for him along with the team, and I would be here soon as they had announced they were my team.

Helping Ian was a way of taunting, or challenging me. Maybe he was testing me.

Don't know.

"It's done, Lucas," I heard Vin say, "any photos or videos Ian found are deleted."

Lucas nodded, "But not what he did to Sarah. I'll never forgive him."

I couldn't say anything, I also felt anger, but I couldn't touch that idiot at the moment. But I swear I'll finish him when I get the chance.

***

Leaving the office I decided to go see Sarah at the hospital, I was afraid that she would try to do something to fix things. But what I found surprised me.

Sarah was with someone else, I didn't enter the room but I could hear some voices.

"I'm so sorry for what Ian did to you," It was my grandfather.

"If you are truly sorry, I hope you won't let it go, Mr. Lark," Sarah replied with a cold tone.

My grandfather sighed. "He'll get his retribution, and I can make him take responsibility for you if I have to."

"I… I don't want anything from him," Sarah continued. "I just want him to leave me and my brother alone, he's already hurt us enough. I want him to pay for what he did properly... but I know you won't allow it, that's why you're here, right?"

"You're a smart woman, Sarah," my grandfather continued, getting up. "But I can't let him go to jail, he must complete his mission."

"His mission? Is it part of his mission to humiliate me and my brother?"

"No," my grandfather whispered, "but I assure you that this will not happen again, I will make it up to you for what he did. I..."

"Don't say it, I don't want to hear it."

Grandpa came out of the room and looked at me. I was wearing my mask and my black glasses.

I didn't say anything to him, I just walked into the room. At that moment, I felt so disappointed in that old man.

"Sarah," I approached the woman on the bed, she looked tired as if she had the world on top of her. I didn't know what to say to her.

She looked at me with her caramel-brown eyes, then she smiled at me. "Eva, you're here. My brother told you what happened. I was a fool, I shouldn't have believed him... I..."

"Don't worry, it's all settled," I took her hand, "I won't let him hurt you again, I'll make him pay for what he did to you. Even if that old man gets in the way."

"No… don't get in trouble for me, I… I was stupid for letting him blackmail me like before."

I hugged her, her tears hurt me. Sarah had become a wonderful friend and ally, I can't leave her like this.

"It's not your fault," I whispered. "You'll see that everything will be fine. I promise you."

Sarah continued to cry until she fell asleep, I just watched her. She had bruises on her face and scratches on her arms. From what I learned from her medical records, she had some bruises and fractures. At least that idiot Ian didn't do anything else, or I swear I'd castrate him myself.

Still, it's not enough... I'm not going to let him get away with it. 

For him, his biggest dream is to stay as the heir to the company, and out of all the grandchildren, he seems to be the one with the greatest chance.

But I won't let him get away with it. I can't put him in jail, but I'll ruin every chance in his life to move up.

If he wants a fight, he already has it.
