Avery could not answer that question because she had never been a member of a criminal gang.
"You need to show sincerity if you want to join a gang, and by sincerity, | mean doing bad things and proving that you're a bad
person." Mike then lowered his voice," Those old people and women that you see in prison are far from insignificant.
Besides, do you genuinely think the goings-on within the gang are kept secret from speople?"
Avery could see the logic in his reasoning but seemed a little puzzled. "Why did Nick lie to me, then?"
"lI wouldn't know." "Going by your logic, | would think that Elliot would share the sthoughts too. After all, they were the ones
who destroyed the gang," Avery continued to raise her doubts.
"It's possible that these people are more tight-lipped and refuse to confess!" Mike then summarized, "From my experience, gangs
don't keep secrets amongst themselves.”

"You say that as if you've been in that kind of gang before." Avery noticed that he had finished his water, so she picked up the jug
and poured smore for him.
"Did you forget what my job is? As the world's top hacker, I'm privy to a lot of secrets in this world," Mike said proudly." What you
usually see on the inteis probably less than five percent of what's in existence. Ninety-five percent of the content is hidden
from ordinary netizens." Avery asked, "Why can't we ordinary people see the remaining ninety-five percent?"
"Because they're stuff that the law doesn’t allow ordinary people to see," Mike explained curtly.
"I get it now. You're talking about the dark web.”
"You can put it that way."
"Can you find Ivy on the dark web?" Avery wanted to use every available method to locate Ivy's whereabouts.
"I'll give it a try later," Mike replied. "I didn't tell Hayden about Ivy yet, so I'll leave that to you!"
"Okay."
Back at Aryadelle, it was Lilith's first day of work after returning to the country.
Ben drove her to the company.
Howie Griffith, who was Lilith's agent in the country, happened to be Jasmine's friend. Jasmine had already briefed Howie over the
phone about Lilith’s situation, =c*; XIX: Howie said that he would try his best to raise Lilith.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the company, Lilith got off and saw Howie standing in the lobby.
They had seen each other's pictures before, so they recognized each other at a glance.
"Hello, Howie. I'm Lilith," Lilith greeted warmly.

Howie glanced at Lilith and was quite satisfied with her appearance, figure, and temperament. "Nice to meet you. You'll follow me
from now on, and I'll arrange any job that's deemed suitable for you. Feel free to reach out toif you need anything. I've been
friends with Jaz for decades, so please don't be awkward with me," Howie said. He then looked at Ben, who had arrived there with
Lilith. "And this is?"
"Hello. This is my business card," Ben handed his business card and introduced himself. "I'm Lilith's boyfriend."
Howie scrutinized the business card that was handed over and immediately had a panicked look when he read 'Chief Financial
Officer of the Sterling Group’.
Jasmine never told him that Lilith had such a formidable boyfriend, so he began to wonder if Jasmine knew about it.
"Is it a serious relationship?" Howie pulled Lilith aside and asked in a low voice. "Jaz never said anything about him to me."
"Because we haven't settled things between ourselves yet," Lilith explained awkwardly.
Ben could hear their conversation.
