Chapter 152 The Prodigy
Soon, the companyâs shareholders gathered outside the lab as they all stared at Silas, disagreeing
with his choice of letting a child handle the crisis. Therefore, they all dissuaded him from going
ahead. âPresident, maybe we should let Jacob Sully handle this. After all, he is a professional and the
right person to do the job!" âThat's right. If things go wrong, we're going to suffer a huge loss!" In
the face of everyone else who disagreed, Silas responded with a darkened look as he shoved the
technician away. âI told you to move. So, just do as I said.â As the technician was shoved away, he
could only helplessly watch his hard work go down the drain. He wanted to speak but swallowed his
words in the end. âPresident Nolan...â
Soon, South looked back at the shareholders who gathered together and took a glimpse at the
technicians. Then, he walked up to the computer and stood instead of sitting in front of the screen
because of his height. Meanwhile, everyone else who witnessed this felt dismayed and disappointed
by Silas's bad call, doubting his decision to have a child look into a crisis. What can a kid do? That's
not how you pamper a child. Nevertheless, while the witnesses were complaining, South began
jumping into action. With a complacent look on his face and a lollipop in his mouth, his little hands
were seen typing on the keyboard pads with lightning speed as the monitor screen showed codes
that kept changing. Needless to say, these were programming codes that were strangers to all
laymen who were watching.
In that instant, all the shareholders were left with their eyes widened and mouths agape. Meanwhile,
the technicians didn't even have time to process the pain of letting their hard work go to waste
before they realized the child only took less than a minute to catch up with the progress they had
been making for an hour. Therefore, they were all dumbstruck and stunned by what they saw. How
long did the kid say he needed? It looks like he is not bluffing, judging from his progress.
Witnessing South's impressive performance, the technicians couldnât help but doubt their own
abilities as they didn't expect to be humiliated by a child in their area of expertise.
While time was ticking, the monitor screen lit up as soon as South hit the enter key, with the timer
stopping at four minutes thirty-two seconds. âGreat! The system is back online!â the secretary
happily exclaimed, âAnd all my stuff is still here.â Soon, everyone else cheered in excitement. âIt's
really back to normal! This is quicker than we expected!â Nevertheless, South didn't stop there but
instead went on to make some necessary upgrades in the system. Then, he looked at Silas and said,
âI just installed a firewall in your system so hackers won't access your system so easily.â At the sight
of that, the shareholders all retreated without making any more noise while the technicians were
rendered speechless. It was only after a long while that they finally asked, âDo you know who did
this to us? Was it Wily Rabbit?â
The technician's words put South in a trance as the child doubtfully looked at him. âWhat makes you
think it's Wily Rabbit?â âWell, I just think he is pretty good,â the technician murmured. South curled
his lips upward and thought to himself, Why would Wily Rabbit hack your system as if he has
nothing else better to do? Furthermore, my dad seems to be behaving well these two days. âWily
Rabbit is a lot better than this. If he had struck your system, you probably wouldn't have had time to
react!â Upon saying that, South shifted his eyes to Silas and said, âLet's go, shall we?â Meanwhile,
Silas had only leaned on the table as he met South's gaze. Then, he smiled with a pair of gentle eyes
while ruffling the little boy's hair. âSure, let's go.â After that, Silas held his hand and left, leaving all
the other employees awestruck and dumbfounded. âOh gosh! This is unbelievable. That kid is a
prodigy! An issue that took an hour for more than ten technicians to work on only took five minutes
for a kid to settle.â
