Chapter 1567 Coddling Wolf
On the other end of the line, the person didn't say a word. With a stern expression and focused eyes on the computer screen, he simply nodded.
Who else could it be but wolf? He had always worked behind the scenes, particularly since he started tracking the Winston family's ongoing activity. It attracted the least attention by making him follow Logan.
Wynter had the option of using Whitley. But the moment a Saviour appeared, it would surely draw unwanted attention, especially since their target was a cultivator. Sending Whitley out would be like handing a precious treasure directly to the enemy.
Thus, Wynter decided to have Wolf trail Logan, while Whitley stayed close to Dalton.
Wynter wasn't overly concerned about Dalton making any sudden moves. In fact, Whitley was safest by Dalton's side. The Yarwood family bore the fortune of heavenly luck, protected unless some predestined calamity struck.
Anyone who tried to harm Dalton would likely be met with dire consequences, given the constant flow of regal purple aura that surrounded him. Having Whitley nearby not only concealed his presence but also allowed him to restore some of its powers.
Wynter could only hope that Whitley and Wolf wouldn't clash when they met. But... it should be fine with Dalton around.
Yet, she couldn't resist giving an extra reminder, "Finish investigating the current task thoroughly, and don't eat anything suspicious. If you meet someone who irritates you, don't lose your temper. In a few days, I'll take you out to stir up some trouble."
At the mention of "trouble", Wolf's round eyes lit up with excitement. He had been going solo for missions recently, and it had been ages since he'd gotten involved in any real action!
He nodded enthusiastically, his expression earnest and determined, as if to say, "I'll be good, and I won't lose my temper."
Wynter chuckled softly. "As for the number I just asked you to trace if the IP address disappears, lock in the last known location."
Wolf's playful face turned suddenly serious. Wynter had a knack for handling kids like him.
In recent days, the Special Unit had been tiptoeing around Wolf, fearing they might provoke him. They desperately wanted results but didn't dare rush him. Even high-ranking officials had approached with a conciliatory tone to request progress.
After all, employing someone of Wolf's age technically bordered on child labor, and no one wanted to seem unkind to a kid.
But truth be told, Wolf only listened to Wynter, refusing to pay attention to anyone else's requests. However, he did enjoy physical tasks despite his stoic expression. Wolf rarely showed any emotion, making it hard to believe he was still just a kid.
Without Wynter, Wolf might never have been recruited in the first place.
In reality, these people just didn't know the right way to handle him. They assumed every hacker, especially one as brilliant as Wolf, was indifferent to money or material gain.
What they didn't know was that Wolf, when he was much younger, loved nothing more than sleeping atop piles of gold.
If one needed a method to handle him, they could just learn from Dalton. He barely spoke a word and only scanned Wolf's code when needed.
Wynter had already received enough feedback to trust Wolf with investigating this matter. Unlike Club Solstice's temporary shutdown, where time could be somewhat flexible, saving people from a situation like this required urgency.
According to Eliana, she wasn't the first, nor would she be the last.
Just three days ago, the school had sent off several others students from the same cohort as Eliana. She was supposed to be among them, but Anson had fallen ill, and an unsettling feeling held her back from accepting the offer. That instinct was what led to the situation today.
As Wynter listened quietly, a rough outline of the scheme began to form in her mind.
Penelope was most likely in dire straits, possibly beyond saving. Or perhaps, she was entirely cut off from the
outside world. Otherwise, it was hard to believe she wouldn't have contacted her family in such a long time. Wynter suspected that the operation went beyond just this school or even Hawford.
