The Hacker Alliance - 2
Perhaps the man took pride in his identity as a member of the Hacker Alliance. Well, he could not be blamed. After all, not everyone was able to come across a genius that stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid.2
Director Liu wanted to introduce Fu Zhi to the man, but Fu Zhi did not want to. Before both Ouyang Ya and Raptor could come back to their senses, she had already gotten out of their sight.
After a short while, Raptor finally snapped back to reality and asked, "Do the students here not know what the Hacker Alliance is?"
Otherwise, why would Fu Zhi remain so indifferent to his identity? Besides, he'd also detected a hint of derision in her voice while she'd been talking just now.
'Was she looking down on me? Me?'
Director Liu did not want to break his heart anymore, so he said, "Well, they have nothing but their studies in mind, so they don't really care about anything except school."
The man looked in the direction Fu Zhi had disappeared into, and Director Liu had no idea why, but he felt a little sympathy for him.
He turned around and told Ouyang Ya, "One of the shortcomings of studying in this country is that you guys don't expose your students to the outside world. She doesn't even know what the Hacker Alliance is, and her knowledge is limited. A person like her is destined to work for others for the rest of her life."
Director Liu did not know what he should say.
'Well, were you living in a cave before you came here? Are you sure you don't know who she is? Besides, you're not wrong. She is definitely looking down on you.'
Director Liu did not want to make any more comments. The students were still listening to Nian Feiyuan's lecture, and when he saw Ouyang Ya come in with Raptor, his eyes glowed and he went up to them with a few quick steps. "He is…"
"Raptor," Ouyang Ya replied flatly. Then, she turned to the man and introduced them. "He's Nian Feiyuan. The director of Hang Yuan."
Nian Feiyuan lifted his hand enthusiastically and said, "It's my pleasure to meet you here, Mr. Raptor! I've heard of your name!"
However, the man just glanced at his hand. He did not take Nian Feiyuan's hand. He just nodded at him.
Nian Feiyuan knew people like him had an odd temper. He was not angry about the man's cold behavior at all as he said, "Since you're already here, do you want to get on the stage and say something?"
"Can I?" The man frowned. "Do they even know about the Hacker Alliance?"
Nian Feiyuan smacked his thigh and said, "Of course they do! The Hacker Alliance is a famous organization, so I'm sure they know about you guys and respect you a lot!"
'Are you really sure about that?' Raptor thought. After all, the first student he'd bumped into had not seemed like she knew who he was at all.
Ouyang Ya then chimed in, "Yeah, Director Nian is right. You should probably get on the stage and say hi to them. The students of No.1 High School might not know about you, but our students like you very much."
Perhaps his heart had been broken by Fu Zhi, but Raptor wanted to seek solace from this bunch of students.
He stroked the badge on his chest, and the special-material badge with the golden, blood-bathed phoenix pattern flashed.
Some of the students noticed him and asked curiously, "Who is he? What's the thing on his chest?"
Without waiting for the man to reply, Ouyang Ya took the microphone and said, "Let me introduce you guys. This is Raptor. He's the 10th member of the Hacker Alliance."
A round of applause erupted from the crowd.
"He's Raptor from the Hacker Alliance? Holy mother of god! He's my idol!"
"Is this real? Am I really seeing him in the flesh?"
"I thought I could only see people like them on the internet. I didn't expect that they would actually come to our school!"
"If Raptor is here, could Siren come here as well in the future?"
"Stop dreaming. There's no way Siren would come here."
…
'The 10th member?' Ye Jiu scoffed.
The screams and shouts in the hall did not stop, and the man heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the scene.
'It seems like not everyone in No.1 High School is as ignorant as Fu Zhi.'
They knew that the Hacker Alliance was a famous organization and they could tell the difference between him and them.
Raptor nodded in satisfaction and then said, "This badge is only given to the top 10 members of the Hacker Alliance. It's my faith!"
"Huh?!" Lu Yumo jumped.
Song Fang was startled. "What the hell? What's the matter with you?"
"It's no wonder his faith feels so familiar."
Song Fang then said in disbelief, "Are you sure about that?"
"Yes! My dad and I use it to open wine bottles every day!"
Then, Lu Yumo tugged at Ye Jiu, who was sitting beside him, and asked, "This is the one, right? It looks really similar to the one in our house. By the way, where did the bottle opener in our house come from?"
"Oh, you mean that one? Do you remember the last time you guys couldn't find the bottle opener? Well, Fu Zhi took it out of her bag for you guys to open the bottle."

Raptor just said a few words and then passed the microphone back to Nian Feiyuan, for he was not used to speaking in public.
Ouyang Ya handed him a cup of water and said, "I hope you don't mind. Fu Zhi is different from the other students in this school. Although she has a good academic performance, she's rude and arrogant."
Raptor shook his head, as he saw no reason to be angry at an ignorant, snotty brat.
He just thought it was such a shame that a pretty girl like her was an idiot.
Lu Yumo still could not shrug off the feeling that the bottle opener in his house was the same as the badge on Raptor's chest. When Fu Zhi came back with a document in hand, he told her everything that had happened just now and asked, "Where did you get the bottle opener that's in our house?"
"I made it myself," Fu Zhi said. "It's just a waterproof and fireproof piece of handicraft. If you like it, I can give you another one. I have a lot in my drawer."
Lu Yumo did not know what to say.
'Oh well. Guess I was wrong. There's no way my sister would be related to the Hacker Alliance.'
After Nian Feiyuan went back to the stage and touched the mouse, a string of noise erupted and the computer screen went black, causing a murmur to spread across the students.
Nian Feiyuan clicked a few times, yet the computer could not come back.
Then, Fu Zhi heard the teacher sitting behind her say anxiously, "What happened? Why did the computer suddenly break down? Can anyone call the technician?"
"Our school's equipment is outdated."
"Didn't the computer just break down several days ago? Director Liu paid the technician out of his pocket to repair the computer, so why did it break down again today?"
What the teachers did not know was that Director Liu had only paid the technician 10 yuan.
Fu Zhi took her phone out and continued to watch her drama.
Nian Feiyuan was talking to Director Liu. Director Liu looked around the crowd of students, and before he could say anything, Ouyang Ya spoke up. "Raptor, why don't you take a look at the computer? If we're going to rely on them, we might not be able to resume the class anytime soon."
