My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Dax Was Shocked
Meanwhile, in the computer room,

Dax was sitting between two computer experts, Max and Stefan.

After briefly talking with them, Dax decided to play games to test Gael’s gaming skills. He couldn’t trust what his mother said right away; he needed to check.

“What game are you going to play, Dax? Don’t tell me you’ll play a game for kids your age?” Stefan said casually, but the little man gave him a stern gaze.

Stefan pretended not to notice his glare. He needed to test Dax’s programming skills, but it would be too obvious if he tested him too straightforwardly. So, he just went with the flow, watching how Dax played the game.

“Of course not, Uncle Gael…” Dax smiled at Stefan before he continued. “We will play Survival in the Apocalypse. This is a new game from Soft Tech company. Have you heard about it?”

Stefan was surprised to hear that. “You play Survival in the Apocalypse?” he asked.

“Yes, Uncle. But my mother doesn’t let me play alone without adults around me. So, every time I play, Uncle Max becomes my game partner. Because that game isn’t in my age category yet, but I can play it well.”

Dax’s eyes beamed, talking about the game he had played recently.

“Wow! I became curious and wanted to see your gameplay, Little Man,” Stefan smiled.

“I think I’m quite skilled; my level and skill are way better than Uncle Max’s because I defeated him every single time. Right, Uncle Max?”

Max almost fell from his seat.

‘Damn this little boss, how could he expose my poor gaming skills in front of Grim Reaper?’ Max vented his frustration in his heart. He lost his words to answer him and just smiled bitterly at his little boss.

Stefan failed to notice Max’s miserable expression. He was too busy with his thoughts, thinking that Dax could play a tough game at the hardest or most brutal mode available very well and even beat an adult like Max.

Survival in the Apocalypse is an online game where five people must work together to complete missions in a city full of zombies and monsters. This is a teamwork game, and knowing this toddler could play the game well surprised him.

‘Did Bella suggest he play this game? There’s an age limit on this game!’ Stefan wondered while glancing at the curious Dax beside him.

“Uncle Gael, do you know that game, right!?” Dax asked again.

“Of course, I know,” Stefan answered while smiling.

He knew about Survival in the Apocalypse; he and his team created the game for Soft Tech, a subsidiary of the RDF Group. Their company, Soft Tech, is one of the biggest game companies in the world.

“Yay! Let’s play, Uncle Gael…” Dax shouted in happiness. He immediately turned on the computer before him and urged Max to log into the game. He asked him to contact two of their gaming friends to play with them.

“Ok,” Max said. He opened his Discord server to look for their active friends. But before he could chat with one of them, Stefan stopped him.

“Max, you don’t have to contact them. We can play the game with just the three of us.” Stefan’s words shocked Max and Dax.

Stefan ignored their frowns and continued, “I will add two of my regular bots to play with us…” he said casually while turning on the computer.

“What? Do you want to add bots? Do you mean NPC? Hero?” Max was confused to hear that.

“Yes. But I made these bots myself,” Stefan casually answers while turning on the computer.

“Gael, sorry to ask you again. Do you really know the game we are going to play?”

“Yeah, I know,” Stefan answered. “Survival in the Apocalypse?”

“Yupe. But why do I feel we didn’t talk about the same game? Because in Survival in the Apocalypse, we can’t play using heroes or bots. We need real players to play as a team to complete the mission.”

Max patiently explained, worried that Gael wouldn’t understand or that the game he talked about differed from theirs.

Stefan ignored Max and continued typing quickly on the keyboard. Suddenly, the computer screen went dark, and green and red code lines rapidly appeared.

Dax and Max watched Gael, not asking anything but wondering what exactly he was doing.

Max turned his gaze away and focused on his computer; somehow, he felt exhausted dealing with Gael.

However, Dax, who had been watching Gael’s hand movements and the screen, was shocked when he saw the welcoming page of the game they usually played appear.

‘So Uncle Gael is playing the same game as us…’ Dax thought, his eyes on the player list. He was even more shocked when he saw three players there, and the player ID amazed him.

“Uncle, did you really add those players? How could you do that?” Dax asked, confused. He remembered clearly that this game couldn’t be played by bots, heroes, or anything other than humans.

Before Stefan could answer, Dax suddenly jumped from his seat and moved closer to Stefan’s computer screen. He wanted to confirm the player ID name. It took him only a few seconds to verify it.

Dax silently swallowed after confirming the name ID and that the three of them were the top players in the global ranking.

“What happened, Dax?” Max stood from his seat to look at Stefan’s monitor closely. “Wow! Did you invite the top global players? You know them?”

Just like Dax, Max was shocked beyond words by what he saw. They looked at Stefan, waiting for him to answer, but he just smiled at them.

“Uncle Gael, do you know them? How did you get their IDs?” Dax’s voice trailed off as he realized something. “No way… Uncle, don’t tell me you own one of these IDs. You are…the top global player? Really? For real? OMG—”

Max was even more shocked when he heard Dax’s words. He couldn’t help but ask, “Gael, is it true?”

Stefan scratched his head before he answered, “Seriously, you guys don’t know about Soft Tech?”

Dax and Max exchanged glances before looking back at Stefan, confused.

“What do you mean?” Max asked.

“Soft Tech is a subsidiary of the RDF Group. You know about it, right? Fear…?”

‘Hell! He knows about me?’ Max was shocked to hear Gael calling him by his hacker ID.
