A suffocating atmosphere loomed over the entire area within the tall building that served as H Group’s
headquarters.
“Just who the hell did this? It’s been two days, and none of you know how to fix this! Is the technical
department filled with sham employees?! You all receive millions of dors for your yearly sry, and
this is all you’ve got?! Our client information has been leaked to the public, and more is being leaked as
we speak! If we don’t stop it soon, H Group will be aughing stock, and you’ll all be fired!”
Elijah Young’s scolding could be heard throughout the hundred-meter-tall building. As Stefan’s most
trusted assistant, he was in charge of most affairs within thepany.
Two days ago, there was a sudden virus attack on H Group’s business system of H Group, causing
hundreds of employees to work overtime for two days straight. None of them could get a wink of sleep
due to the havoc this virus has wreaked.
“Mr. Young, that was uncalled for. We’re not the onescking here. Our enemy is just too strong! Their
IP addresses constantly change as if they’re moving from country to country within minutes. We can’t
track them at all!”
The technical department manager, Antony Gray, refused to acknowledge that his skills were the issue.
“You should know that our department has hired all the IT prodigies within Beach City. If we, of all
people, can’t fix this, no one can.”
Just then, a timid voice spoke up,ing from the furthest corner of the room.
“Actually, there is a way.”
Everyone turned their heads and noticed that it was a young man wearing a pair of sses with a ck
frame.
“How? Tell us right now!” Elijah immediately urged him.
The young man adjusted his sses, still speaking in a soft tone. “That is to do… nothing. We’ll just
have to wait three days, and the virus will deactivate itself.”

“Wh-What did you say?” Elijah felt as if he had been tricked, and he rolled up his sleeves as if he were
getting ready to fight these fools.
“Exin.” Stefan’s frosty voice sounded from the center of the meeting room, his slender fingers
casually ying around with a fountain pen.
His nonchnt attitude seemed far different from Elijah, who wasshing out. However, it was exactly
because of this dismissive demeanor that exacted this suffocating pressure on every single employee.
No one dared to make the slightest mistake when he was around.
The young man responded carefully. “ording to my observations, this code string is simr to my
idol’s style. They’re considered a legend among hackers and go by the codename ‘Phoenix’…”
Half of the employees in the room visibly lit up with excitement, discussing with one another.
“Phoenix is amazing! No one has ever been able to remove their software or track them down. And the
more you try doing so, the more ws you end up with. Their software has a certain trait though that
they only run for five days. After five days are up, they are automatically deactivated.”
“There are lots of rumors circting about Phoenix too. Some say they’re a young prodigy, while some
say they’re in their fifties or sixties. Basically… no one has ever seen them in the flesh.”
“But Phoenix has been on a hiatus for many, many years. Why did they suddenly resurface again? And
they clearly have their eyes on H Group for some reason. We’re so unlucky!”
‘Unlucky?’ Stefan remembered what Renee said at the hospital a while ago. ‘Tsk, is this woman a
psychic? Her prediction was way too urate.’
Based on their assumptions, H Group had lost at least five hundred million dors due to this incident.
It truly was an unfortunate event for the entirepany.
“Phoenix?” Stefan narrowed his eyes, mumbling the name under his breath.
In that instant, his pride got the best of him, as he didn’t like admitting defeat.
Upset, he gave orders in a chilling tone. “Elijah, I want to know who this ‘Phoenix’ person is. Spread the
news that whoever gets information on this person will be rewarded a hundred and fifty million dors.
