Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 534

Did their team of over a hundred experts really just get outplayed by one person? Seriously, who was this hacker?

Shadow was sweating, literally. “Let me try to hit her back,” he said.

Manuel could barely believe it. Shadow was ranked second on the hacker leaderboard, right under the legendary L. That meant Shadow was a top-tier talent. But now, even he was at a loss.

A wild thought crossed Shadow’s mind. Was it possible that the person on the other end was actually L herself? He’d heard L was a woman, but she’d basically vanished from the scene after making a name for herself. She never showed up anymore, and he’d never even had a chance to go up against her. If this really was L…

The idea made Shadow even more fired up. He had to know who he was fighting.

Meanwhile, Lydia was cruising through every defense like it was nothing. One after another, firewalls fell. The control room was a mess of flashing lights and nonstop alarms.

Then Lydia typed the last character.

The screens across the entire operations hall lit up. [DEFENSE FAILED!] beeped in huge letters. Then more letters popped up on every monitor: [You’re trash!]

In the national network headquarters, nobody spoke.

Was it embarrassing? Absolutely. Completely humiliating. But honestly, that didn’t matter right now. This was nothing compared to the risk of having state secrets stolen.

Manuel barked, “Why are you all just standing there? Fix those holes, right now!”

While Lydia finished tearing down their last line of defense, she caught a quick glimpse of her opponent’s camera feed. The image flickered by, but she recognized those eyes, even behind the black mask and cap.

She stared, stunned. Was that Chris? No way. She was sure of it, though. She never would have guessed Chris was such a skilled hacker. With that level of ability, he had to be either the second-ranked Shadow or maybe even Moke, who was third.
