The tiny, almost invisible, smile playing on David’s lips was a clear indication of how he felt. He’d stumbled upon his son, Ethan's, hidden account. It was a goldmine. "gamerboy_3000." He felt an electricity pulsing through his veins, the way he did when he was about to start a new business venture.

He leaned in close, eyes glued to the screen. He knew this would be a game changer. The secrets! The inside scoop! He took a long, deep breath to calm himself.

He allowed himself a chuckle, the sound barely audible. He couldn’t wait to get started.
