Chapter 264

“Everyone pulled an all-nighter yesterday, and they fell asleep not too long ago,” Hudson said in a hushed tone after making his way toward Jasper.

“Let them rest. Let’s talk in your office.”

After speaking, Jasper walked out of the meeting room with Hudson, Jack, and Cameron, who were all wide awake, following behind him.

Although Hudson had the highest-ranking company position in Terizone, he had the simplest office.

His office consisted of a small space separated by wooden boards. There was only a desk, a computer, a bookcase, and a few sofas in the room. Other than that, it was barren.

“It’s a simple room. After all, the company has a lot of expenses right now,” Hudson said, sounding slightly embarrassed. He poured a cup of water for Jasper.

Jasper chuckled. “That’s why I was willing to invest in the lot of you. From your stingy demeanor, I can tell that your future will definitely be bright,” he said. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Hudson nodded. He was glad that Jasper approved of his mindset.

“Although we have persevered through this incident, it was mainly because Sena stopped the attack halfway through. Otherwise, we may not have been able to recover our system even now.”

There was an overcast expression on Hudson’s face. Although he had not slept in more than thirty hours, he did not feel even a hint of fatigue. He was overcome with rage and aggravation.

“We’re still too weak. We had close to zero resistance against Sena’s treacherous means of attack!”

“How are our losses?” Jasper asked.

Hudson’s expression darkened. “We lost more than a million dollars in terms of funds. However, the loss in user count is way more significant. There has been a decline of one-third of portal visits!” he exclaimed.

Jasper nodded. The main priority of Internet companies was their user count. A decline in users was way more terrifying than a loss in cash.

“That b*stard Dane Warren is being too harsh!” Cameron Scott huffed in anger.

“Sena is now vying against Terizone, so they must still have plans for us!” Jasper said after a momentary pause.

Worry filled the others’ faces after registering what Jasper said.

“To be honest, in terms of technical aspects, I don’t know as much as you guys do,” Jasper said, shrugging his shoulders in exasperation.

“However, I’m pretty skilled in fighting a business war,” Jasper added with a chuckle. “Leave this matter to me. I can deal with Sena,” he said.

Hudson’s gaze lit up almost immediately. Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang.

After exchanging a few words on the phone, Hudson hung up on the call excitedly. “Mr. Laine, our savior is here! If it wasn’t for his help last night, we wouldn’t have been able to withstand the attack,” he told Jasper.

“Does such a talented person exist? What’s his name?” Jasper asked in surprise.

“Theo Wright!”

Jasper slowly raised his brow after hearing this name.

This name belonged to a legendary man. He was the crème de la creme of hackers within the country. He was a godfather-level figure.

He was the founder of the Hawk Alliance, one of the top hacker organizations. Under the leadership of this godly figure, the Hawk Alliance would raise their national prestige through their groundbreaking performance in several global hacker battles in the few upcoming years.

In several global hacker wars a few years later, the master of the Eagle Alliance led by this great god can be said to have beaten the competition severely.

This man was also the only person publicly known to have hacked into the United State’s military database.

Jasper did not expect Hudson to be well-acquainted with him.

Jasper met Theo Wright in the meeting room.

He assumed that a Hacker God like him must be someone who was cold and daunting.

Nevertheless, Jasper found it nearly impossible to associate the short, plump young man with middle- parted hair that was standing right before him with the most powerful man in the online world, the Godfather of Hacking.

“Theo, let me start with the introductions. This is the actual head of our company, Mr. Jasper Laine. This is Mr. Jack Tanner.”
