Chapter 79:

A palpable shock rippled through everyone gathered.

Moments later, the message vanished, replaced by a progress bar on the screen, beneath which a line of tiny text flickered.

“Data downloading…”

Several hackers immediately verified the occurrence and burst into animated chatter as they relayed the news to Rhys.

“Mr. Green, we’ve penetrated the enemy’s defenses and are now extracting their internal data!”

In the darkness, Rhys’ eyes, deep and calculating, abruptly widened.

The assembled hackers, bodyguards, and Hamilton all turned their attention toward Harlee, their expressions a mix of bewilderment and awe.

“How on earth did you pull this off? It’s nothing short of miraculous!” one seasoned hacker exclaimed.

“It could only be possible if a virus had been pre-installed in their systems, yet with their cutting-edge detection tech, that should have been utterly impossible!” Another chimed in, piecing together the recent events.

“So, Quick Cameo sabotaged our defenses earlier to bait the enemy into this data heist?”

“This operation was executed in mere minutes. The efficiency… It’s downright terrifying!”

The hackers gazed at Harlee, their eyes brimming with unspoken admiration, completely reshaping their understanding of what it meant to be the world’s top hacker.

As they watched, the progress bar on the screen surged to 100%, signaling a total breach and acquisition of the adversary’s internal data.

The fate of the rival company was now sealed.

“Sorry, I forgot to mention my principle of doing things.” Seeing that the matter was settled, Harlee stood up from the swivel chair to face Rhys with a calm demeanor.

“I’ve always held that the most effective security measure is to utterly neutralize any threat that seeks to breach your defenses. Three hundred million.

Ensure it’s transferred to the account I provided.” With a firm stride, Harlee turned and headed toward the door, every step resolute.

“Wait.” Rhys’ voice broke through, smooth and persuasive despite the crackle of the voice changer.

Startled, Harlee halted, Rhys’ image momentarily occupying her thoughts.

Could it be Rhys who was…

But just as quickly as it came, she dismissed the fleeting suspicion.

Rhys often came across as aloof, but once she got to know him, she discovered his warm, generous nature.

In any case, he was not one to cloak his words in threats, unlike the man before her now.

“How much would it take for you to come work for me?” Rhys inquired, cutting straight to the point.

Harlee paused, her figure shifting slightly as she eyed the shadowy form before her.

“Sorry, I don’t take on long-term private contracts.

But if something challenging comes up, feel free to reach out,” she replied with calm confidence.

With those final words hanging in the air, Harlee, clad in black, vanished into the dimly lit hallway.
