Chapter: Find EmpireThe room was silent. Too silent. Hero sat before the computer, his fingers motionless above the keyboard. The screen still displayed the same message. ACCESS DENIED. He stared at it for several seconds before leaning back in his chair. Impossible. He had spent years building his reputation as one of the most dangerous hackers in the underground world. He was ranked third internationally, and countless corporations had paid enormous sums just to have access to his skills. Yet tonight... Someone had dismantled his attack as if it were child's play. Not only had the stranger defended the system— They had attacked him at the same time. Hero's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?" He replayed the attack in his mind. The movements were too fast. Too precise. The hacker hadn't followed the usual patterns of defensive programming. Instead, they had created multiple false routes, forcing him to chase shadows while quietly penetrating his own system. It was an exceptionally rare tec

Chapter: EliminatedThe technicians became increasingly anxious. "Why isn't she doing anything?" "She's just watching." "Are we wasting time?" "At this rate, the files will be stolen." Someone whispered, "Maybe she doesn't know what she's doing." Ella heard every word. She simply ignored them. Her eyes remained fixed on the screen. She wasn't doing nothing. She was studying. The attacker's movements. The rhythm of the intrusion. The pattern of the code. The fake trails. The hidden routes. Everything. Then— Her fingers moved. Tap. Tap-tap. Tap-tap-tap. The sound gradually became faster. Within seconds, her fingers were flying across the keyboard. The room went completely silent. "What..." The chief technician stared at the monitor. The attacker's progress suddenly stopped. Then began moving backward. "She's forcing them out." "No." Another technician leaned closer. "She's doing something else." The screen split into two windows. One displayed Fredamo's security system.

Chapter: AttackThe afternoon at Fredamo Group was anything but peaceful. Red warning lights flashed across the executive floor. One alarm after another echoed through the control room. "Firewall breached!" "Someone has entered the internal server!" "Block the eastern gateway!" "We can't!" The technicians were sweating as their fingers flew across their keyboards. On the giant screen, streams of unfamiliar codes raced across the monitor. Someone was attacking the Fredamo Group's central network. And this wasn't an ordinary cyberattack. The intruder had already bypassed three layers of security and was heading directly toward the company's most confidential files. Financial records. International contracts. Research data. Acquisition plans. If those files were stolen, the consequences would be catastrophic. "How did they get through our firewall?" "I don't know!" "Trace the source!" "We've tried! They're masking their location!" The atmosphere became increasin

Chapter: Owe Me Everything The atmosphere in the mansion changed the moment the doorbell rang. Ella was sitting in the living room with a book in her hands when Maria hurried toward the entrance. "Madam, there's a visitor." Ella looked up. "Who is it?" Before Maria could answer, the sound of high heels echoed through the foyer. A woman walked inside. She was dressed in an elegant designer suit, her long hair falling perfectly over her shoulders. Every step she took carried an unmistakable arrogance, as though she wasn't entering someone else's home but returning to a place that had always belonged to her. Her gaze swept across the luxurious interior. A faint smile touched her lips. "Nothing has changed." Ella frowned. She had never seen the woman before. Yet the stranger behaved as though she knew the mansion intimately. "May I ask who you're looking for?" Ella asked politely. The woman finally looked at her. Her eyes lingered on Ella for several seconds. Then her lips curved into a mocking sm

Chapter: Zeke's Pastthe atmosphere inside Fredamo Group was unusually tense. Employees moved through the corridors quietly, sensing that something was wrong. No one knew exactly what had happened, but rumors had already begun spreading. The chairman had arrived before sunrise. Several senior executives had been summoned. And the head of security had personally taken control of the building's surveillance system. Something serious was happening. Inside the executive conference room, Zeke sat at the head of the table. His expression was unreadable. Alex stood beside him, holding a tablet. Around the table sat several senior executives. "Five years ago," Zeke began calmly, "the Han family's company collapsed." Nobody spoke. "You all know the official story." One of the executives nodded. "A series of failed investments and a massive debt caused their downfall." Zeke's fingers tapped lightly against the table. "That's the story the public knows." The room fell silent. His
