Common Sense Hijack System-Chapter 68

Karl and Layla just couldn’t stop staring at Valencia. Valencia let out a sigh, seeing the two of them still clueless about their next move.

Valencia casually lounged in her chair, with a face exuding confidence. Moving her fingers on the keyboard, she seemed to be planning something much bigger than what they were dealing with John and his crew. But Karl and Layla just sat there, waiting for Valencia to continue her explanation.

After a while, Valencia stopped typing and looked at Karl with a sly smile. "Oh, Karl," she said, her voice suddenly sounding different—more alluring, sharper. "Of course, I’ve known who you are all along."

Karl turned to her, narrowing his eyes. "What do you mean?"

Valencia shrugged, her eyes sparkling with wisdom. "Don’t try to fool me. I know you’re the guy in the Spermberggirl video. I’ve seen it a few times. But honestly, I feel a bit late in telling you."

Karl fell silent, unable to speak for a moment. His body felt rigid, and his face flushed with embarrassment. It was the video that had been making him anxious all this time. The video that exposed his dick to the whole online world.

Valencia chuckled softly, enjoying the confusion on Karl’s face. "Oh, don’t worry. I’m not here to judge. Besides, everyone has their own pleasures, right?" Her tone was teasing, as if she wasn’t too serious—but within that laughter was a sense of satisfaction that made Karl feel extremely uncomfortable. "I’m sorry if I disrupted a bit of your private pleasure, Karl. Maybe I ruined it by finding out everything too quickly."

Karl felt his heart heavy, but he couldn’t say anything. Valencia continued, teasingly. "Would you be mad if you knew that I was the first one that ruin your life?"

Karl’s whole body felt cold. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice trembling.

Valencia laughed, "I’m the person behind the Mr.X account!"

Karl clenched his fists, angry but unable to do anything, Valencia wasn’t a creature he could just take down with an Undead Platinum. Karl could only stay silent.

"You’re quite funny, Karl!" Valencia smiled wider, clearly enjoying this moment. "But what’s funnier than you, is your life, Karl. Your video with someone else’s wife has spread widely because of a reckless streamer who managed to infiltrate your apartment."

Karl’s eyes widened, his face paling. "Streamer?" he muttered, feeling his head spinning. "Wait, so my vid-."

"Yes," Valencia answered, as if reading his mind. "An amateur hacker managed to breach the system in your apartment. It seems he saw the potential for content to showcase, then edited it in a very... artistic way, if you may. After that, your video spread just like that. It went so viral, you probably couldn’t contain its consequences."

Layla, who had been silent all along, now looked at Valencia with confusion and a bit of fear. "You... you knew all of this from the beginning?"

Valencia just laughed, then shrugged casually. "Of course. Accessing data and spreading information is my expertise. Do you think I’m just a crazy woman called ’The Slayer’? No. I’m more than that. I know everything, even things you never imagined, Karl." She smirked, looking at the man with curiosity. "I have to admit, it’s a bit... enjoyable, seeing you so stunned."

Karl tried to stay calm, although feelings of shame and anger started creeping inside him. Everything he had tried to hide all this time—every sex he had done with someone else’s wife, suddenly revealed in front of Valencia. And worse, news about him had now spread worldwide, thanks to the antics of an irresponsible hacker.

"You should know, Karl," Valencia continued, her tone more serious now. "You’re not just facing enemies in the real world. In the online world, there are many who can easily ruin everything. They can destroy your life without any physical involvement. And I—I can access it all. I’ve been changing the game for a long time."

Karl gritted his teeth, trying to contain the anger starting to burn within him. "So, this is all just a game for you, huh?" he asked, his voice strained. "You don’t even care about what happens to me?"

Valencia looked at him unapologetically. "No one cares, Karl. This world is tough, and if you’re not ready for it, you’ll be crushed. I’m just giving you a little... lesson."

She then turned to Layla, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. "So, Layla, do you really want to get more involved with this guy? Sure, he’s attractive for you. But I don’t think he’s ready for all the consequences of his choices."

Layla nodded slowly, looking worried. "We... we’re just trying to seek revenge."

"And the way to do that is what you both should think about," Valencia replied, her voice calmer. "If you can’t control the power that exists in this world, both physical and digital, you’ll just keep being victims and not able to seek revenge. even if successful, you will still be victims after!"

Karl felt embarrassed and frustrated, but he couldn’t blame Valencia. What she said was true. This world is getting tougher, and he’s just one of many trapped in a bigger game. However, one thing’s for sure—he won’t give up so easily.

With a little courage left, Karl looked at Valencia. "I may not be ready for all of this. But I will fight. For myself, and for Layla! I don’t care if the whole world will hunt me down!"

Valencia just smiled with a slight nod. "Good. That’s what I want to hear."

Inside Valencia’s campervan filled with flickering monitor screens, it suddenly fell silent after a long discussion about Karl’s past and the embarrassing incident that had spread widely. Valencia looked at Karl sharply, as if trying to read something deeper than just the embarrassment she had brought up earlier.

"By the way," Valencia said, crossing her arms. "What revenge are you going to seek and against who?"

Karl sighed and glanced at Layla.

"Wow.. So, is this the damsel in distress’s revenge you’re fighting for, Karl?" Valencia chuckled slightly. "So, damsel, tell me how that revenge came to be. If the story is entertaining enough, maybe I’ll fully support your journey!"

Layla trembled, "Fine! I’ll tell you everything!" Her eyes starting to show anger.
