Chapter 409: Chapter 409

Half an hour later.

Rosemary had just returned to Reflections Villa when she received an unexpected phone call.

"Boss, the folks from Solterra Cybersecurity Center want you to swing by."

"Something up?"

Rosemary’s mind was filled with question marks at the news.

The entire cybersecurity center boasted hundreds of computer wizards, yet they couldn’t fend off the attacker?

Was the attacker that powerful?

"They want you to head over now. They said a car will pick you up and take you to the center," reported her subordinate. "I didn’t want to expose your identity, so I arranged for them to pick you up at the church in the suburbs."

"Alright."

This time, Rosemary didn’t inquire about the payment, as personal gain seemed insignificant compared to the nation’s affairs at hand.

Shortly after, Rosemary arrived at the cybersecurity center’s building, escorted by a private vehicle. This was her first time visiting such a place.

Upon hearing of her arrival, the director hurriedly greeted her, "Alex, we’ve been waiting for you. Our last line of defense is about to fall. Please, come with me."

In the main hall, hundreds of security personnel sat in front of computers, desperately fending off the attacker’s onslaught. A massive electronic screen displayed the real-time progress of the situation. The sounds of fervent keyboard typing echoed in the air.

Rosemary was speechless.

"Alex, this is your workstation. Thank you for your efforts," said the director, who then returned to his office to call another expert.

"Clark, it’s your turn to step up. It’s already a hair’s breadth from disaster out there. Can you maybe finish your snack later?"

The man referred to as "Clark" was lounging on a couch. A few people massaged him while another fed him snacks. The handsome features of his face were flawless under the light, breathtakingly beautiful.

"It’s clearly a dire situation if they’re even calling in a little girl," he responded lazily, his voice as laid-back and magnetic as his demeanor.

Little girl?

The director paused before quickly realizing, "That’s Alex."

Alex?

Finally, a glimmer of interest sparked in the man’s eyes. The infamous hacker Alex, who had remained at the top of the bounty list for years, was a little girl? Interesting.

He was curious to see how long this little girl could hold on.

"Clark, when are you going to step in? If you don’t soon, the last line of defense will—"

The director’s words were interrupted by a series of beeps emanating from the electronic screen.

[Firewall Level One successfully repaired.]

Not only the director and the man on the couch, but even the hundreds of computer wizards outside were all looking at Rosemary in disbelief.

Rosemary’s slender fingers danced across the keyboard, inputting a series of codes. Soon, the massive electronic screen once again chimed in.

[Beep beep beep. Firewall Level Two successfully repaired.]

Everyone was so shocked their jaws nearly dropped.

[Beep beep beep. Firewall Level Three successfully repaired.]

Rosemary’s movements were quick, as natural as if she were simply typing in a chat. Her expression didn’t change much. She just kept her eyes on the computer screen. Soon, the system chimed in again, signaling that the fourth and fifth-level firewalls had been successfully repaired.

Everyone had stopped what they were doing, staring in disbelief at this teenager. Who was she? How did she manage to repair all five firewalls in such a short amount of time?

[Tik tik tik. Firewall upgrade successful.]

Everyone was left flabbergasted.

Not only did she fend off the attack, but she also managed to upgrade their entire system. How in the world did she do that in such a short span of time?

[Tik tik tik. Firewall successfully breached.]

The man lounging on the couch could no longer contain himself. He sprang to his feet, but before he could make it to the glass wall, the system piped up again.

[Tik tik tik. Enemy IP locked.]

The man froze in his tracks. His initial thought was that the security team was incompetent, and it would be up to him to clean up the mess.

But this young lady managed to upgrade the firewall and locate the enemy’s IP address in the blink of an eye.

She was truly impressive.

Noticing that the IP address originated from the enemy nation’s intelligence center, Rosemary wasted no time in launching a counter-attack.

She first took control of all the computers at the enemy intelligence center, rendering them helpless and unable to hide their data.

Then, right under their noses, she opened up their tactical and energy plans for other nations, forwarded them, and then posted them on their official website. To add insult to injury, she tacked on a downward-pointing thumbs-up emoji, openly mocking them.

Having accomplished her mission, she prepared to leave.

Everyone was in awe of this young woman.

"Ma’am, may I ask which hacker group you’re part of?"

"Would you be interested in joining the Solterra Hacker Alliance?"

Even the director, who had been coaxing the man in the office, quickly chased after her. "Alex, wait!"

The name "Alex" sent a shockwave through the room. This young woman was none other than the renowned hacker, Alex!

Who would have thought she was a young woman—and such a beautiful one at that?

Life was so unfair.

"Alex, we really need someone of your caliber at the security center. Would you be interested in joining us? We can offer you a salary at your demanded rate, flexible working hours."

The director was desperate to retain such a talent.

"I’m sorry, but I have to finish my studies."

Everyone was once again taken aback.

Studies?

Such a high-level hacker still had to go to school?

It made sense, though—she looked to be around seventeen or eighteen, probably still in high school or college.

But she was already so skilled. What was the point in going to school?

Everyone was puzzled.

"After you finish your studies, Alex, if you’re interested in joining us, feel free to contact me. Here’s my card."

The director wasn’t about to let such a talent slip away. He offered his card with both hands.

"The doors to the security center are always open for you!"

While Rosemary had no intentions of becoming a hacker, she politely accepted the card out of respect for the director’s sincerity.

"Hold on."

The man from the office finally emerged.

He was handsome and debonair. His captivating eyes held a touch of nonchalance.

Everyone was even more shocked to see him. The skilled hacker who had been resting in the office was none other than the legendary Astronisia’s top hacker, Clark.

Who would have thought that the director was so powerful, managing to bring in two top-notch hackers?
