I Love You, Miss Genius



Ivor opened the door and went inside. Then, he saw a tall man sitting on the couch in the private room. He asked, "Are you Falcon?"

Falcon scanned Ivor from head to toe and was stunned when he saw the emblem on his clothes. "I didn't expect I'd be dealing with the big man himself. Welcome, leader of the Dark Knight Organization. This explains why you guys are willing to pay that amount of money for the chip."

Ivor sat across from him and went straight to the point. "Where's the chip? My men will need to verify it. If everything checks out, we'll give you the money."

Falcon chuckled in response. "I like that you get down to business straight away. That's why you're the leader! Alright. I'll let you guys check on it, but we've agreed on 1.6 billion dollars for the chip. I won't take anything less than that!"

Ivor nodded in response, emanating an authoritative air. "I'm a man of my word. I'll pay you the exact amount as long as the chip is the real deal."

Falcon loved striking a deal with someone this forthright and no-nonsense. So, he didn't waste any time and took the chip out from his briefcase.

"You guys probably brought your own equipment to verify it, right? Here's the chip. Go ahead and verify

it,"

Ivor saw how confident Falcon was and knew instantly that the chip was most likely authentic. He was merely going through motions when ordering Floyd to verify it.

Taking the chip from Falcon, he handed it to his assistant, who was standing behind him.

"Get the equipment out and verify it. We can pay him as soon as you determine that it's authentic."

"Right away, Mr. Ivor." Floyd took the equipment out of his bag and scanned the chip. He ran the test several times before taking the chip out and handing it to his master.

"The chip checks out, but there's a deeply complicated IP password that only Mr. Falcon could unlock. Otherwise, we won't be able to use it."

Ivor didn't count on the chip being encrypted. Then, he handed the chip back to Falcon.

"Unlock it. I'll give you the money once I've verified that I can use it,"

Rubbing the chip in his hand, Falcon's eyes were gleaming with cunning.

"You guys brought this many men along, while I'm only here alone. What am I going to do if you take the chip by force as soon as I unlock it? I'm going to lose out on a big fortune, then."

"Why, you..."

Floyd intended to question him, but Ivor shot him a look before he could finish his sentence.

Ivor then stared at Falcon. "Out with it. How do you want to do this?"

Falcon said, "Give me the money. I'll unlock it after that."

Ivor's lips curled into a smile, but it wasn't a genuine one.

"Good on you for coming out with this plan, Falcon. You might've been worried that we'll take your chip by force once you unlock it. However, I'm also concerned that I won't be able to use the chip after I pay you! What do you have to say about that?"

Falcon responded immediately, "Actually, there are two passwords in the chip. I can unlock the first password and show you guys that it works. I'll unlock the second password after I get the money."

'If that's the case, then I don't stand to lose anything.' Ivor pondered on it for a mere couple of seconds before he agreed to it.

"That works for me. Go ahead and unlock the first password and show us if it works as intended."

Falcon turned around wordlessly and fiddled with the chip.

Several minutes later, he gave it to Ivor again.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I've unlocked the first password. Verify it again. I don't want to hear you guys saying that I pulled a fast one over you."
