Semua Bab My Wife is a Hacker: Bab 1491 - Bab 1500

Following this, Nicole heard a flurry of gunshots being fired from outside the car and the sound of explosions banging on her ears. The man in the face mask's gun could not be found. Watching the aircraft in the skies being shot down one by one and seeing Nicole's watch still blinking, he could only roar in anger, "Retreat!"The dark-clothed men got their orders and clustered around the man in the face mask while retreating, confused. Nicole saw this and quickly pressed stop on the detonating feature of the watch.'So close. With only less than twenty seconds left. If the rescue were late even by a bit, I would've been a goner...' She thought to herself.'However, who was the one who came so swiftly to rescue me? Even if Jason and the others were still on the way, they could not have arrived now,' Nicole continued her train of thought.Just as she was thinking about it, the sound of a helicopter landing was heard. Nicole glanced sidelong, but her whole body was stuck in the overtur

"Of course. He heard you were injured, so Mr. Douglas rushed over as soon as possible. But, you were in a coma for two days, so I arranged for him to stay at the base," Carl replied."Oh..." Nicole's expression was slightly awkward as she had not expected that she would have slept for two days.It was honestly too much; most likely, Douglas was already furious. Yet, she only had eyes for Jared at the moment."When did you wake up? I didn't even know..." Nicole asked. When Mr. Johnston Sr. came over, he had clearly not yet awoken. However, when she was in danger, he rushed around from the mainland.Jared stared at the surprise and worry that glinted in Nicole's eyes, then looked at her and reproached, "I haven't woken up yet, and you dumped me and then went adventuring all alone? What did you plan to do if I had not rushed over in time?"Once he remembered Nicole's blood-soaked state, his heart felt like it was painfully stabbed. It was not like he had not seen Nicole go on mission

Nicole suddenly thought that Jared and Zane might actually know each other. Otherwise, there would be little explanation as to why Zane had given her the coffee beans that were procured from Jared's farm.As expected, Jared maintained a very polite tone with Zane. "I'm fine. It's only right for me to take care of her."Zane smiled. "I never expected that you and Nicole are together. I'd have introduced you guys to each other earlier if I knew that this would happen.In response, Jared said, "Yeah. It's a shame I didn't get to see her when I met you back then."As the conversation occurred, Nicole began to feel a little awkward. She figured that she might probably not have any feelings for Jared if they had met each other earlier."Mr. Spears, how did you get to know Jared?" Nicole asked, as she was a little curious about it.It was then that Zane realized that Nicole was still there.In awkward fashion, he replied, "We've known each other for a long time. I first met him when I

"Temporarily?!" Zane was shocked. "How could you not talk to me about something so serious before making that decision? The crest isn't going to recognize somebody else as its owner as long as you're still alive. You just turned yourself into a sitting duck to those people!"Nicole lifted her brows. "That was how it worked back then, Uncle Zane. However, this new crest is a system. Do you know what I'm good at?"Her words shocked Zane. "Are you going to overwrite its system?"Nicole nodded, and after a while, she said, "I can probably do that, but this system is the most complicated out of all the other ones that I've seen. I might need some time to look into it."Zane calmed down a little after he had an idea as to what Nicole's plan was. "You should figure something out to distance yourself from the system as soon as possible then."In response, Nicole moved in closer and stared at him. "Then what? There'll still be people coming after it... I've got to place it somewhere safe."

"I-I guess I should get going now. I'm afraid that Uncle Zane might need my help..." Carl said, and left the room thereafter.The door slammed shut with a bang, showing how much Carl was in a hurry to leave. This gave Nicole a sense of relief.'Looks like Carl isn't really bothered by everything that had happened. I wish that I could pretend that nothing had happened too,' she thought.However, Jared had noticed everything. "What happened between you and him? Why is there some sort of tension in the room?"Jared noticed that Carl would treat Nicole exceptionally well, and whenever he stared at Nicole, he would do so in a passionate way. Besides, he had never really gotten along well with Carl. Even now, he regretted the fact that he had allowed Carl to leave, especially after he had observed how guilty the latter looked."Nothing much." Nicole looked at Jared.Then, she came up with a random excuse in fear that Jared would grow jealous once again. "I guess he's distancing himself
