Chapter 1939
'It's nice to have such a clever son,' Niki thought as she leaned on the bed frame, knowing she had nothing to worry
about.
Then, she closed her eyes and replayed the scene where she had met Jared at the airport.
Her eyes widened at an instant. 'Was this an illusion?'
Niki's eyes were filled with shock and hurt. Furthermore, it did not take Nolan long to glean and uncover some
information about Jared.
"No wonder Dillion had the guts to arrest him! He's a business giant in San Joto and a well-known figure in both the
dark web and in the real world!"
At that moment, Niki could not help but open her eyes while murmuring, "No wonder your godfather mentioned
that he wouldn't let me return to Hustuaburg! I didn't think they'd be this powerful..."
Niki could recall Leo saying, 'If they hunt her down, it will most likely be his doing.'

a child. But who knows when he might turn against us again. For now...I guess running away is all we can do...'
As he heard his mom's words, Nolan said, "Mommy, if the enemy is so powerful, aren't you done for?"
Niki gave him a blank look in return. "You rascal. Shut up. Stop jinxing it."
Deep down, Nicole knew that the situation was a sticky one, but she had to remain calm nonetheless.
"Jinxing? Well, jinxing it is, then. It's a good thing you brought me along, I can help you teach that guy a lesson!"
Nolan quickly slammed the 'enter' key once he had spoken.
Having a terrible feeling about this, Niki turned to probe Nolan at once. "Nolan Riddle! What did you do!?"
By the time Niki reached the computer, it was already too late. She looked at it, noticing that Nolan had done
something to quickly invade the system. She was taken aback by that, and quickly pushed Nolan to the side,
whereupon she started to recall their steps.
"It's pointless. By the time you unlock it, it'll already be over as the system will be completely unusable." Nolan
smiled.
Niki became extremely anxious. 'How could he be doing stupid things like this to start a fight with the demons!?'
"Nolan Riddle! Are you insane? Do you even know that we are in the hands of the devil right now? Do you have a
death wish? How dare you provoke him?" she yelled.
However, the boy was still unapologetic. "I was just teaching him a lesson! So don't worry about him finding out
about it."
Nolan then pursed his lips proudly. Not wanting to further the argument, she attempted to breach Nolan's defense
system before shutting his offensive protocols down.
'It's indeed such a shame...Even the mighty Johnston Group's system has collapsed with no hope of restoration...'
Niki said, feeling her wrinkles deepening.
‘This d*mn son! I have spoiled him too much. I cannot believe he would do such a d*mn thing. Lord, how could I
make this up?' she asked herself.
An hour later, at the Johnston Group headquarters, Jared hurried over, asking, "What's going on! Why did our
system crash!?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe entire IT department lowered their heads, before the leader compelled himself to speak up. "Mr. Johnston...we
have encountered an unprecedented hacker attack. We've never witnessed such an untraceable attack before, the
scale of which can be compared to the one from five years ago. This time around it's even more disastrous."
Jared's heart sank when the mention of the event from five years ago was brought to light.
Five years ago, Nicole was the reason why the Johnston Group's system had been breached. Ever since then, the
Johnston Group had been using the defense system Nicole had made, which nobody was able to crack. However,
today was the day someone managed to do it.
'Was this a coincidence? It's also the same day she came back...' he wondered.
Once Jared had thought about it, he immediately commanded, "Let's head out. I'll find someone who can
reformat the entire system, while you guys can just keep the system up for the time being until we can get the new
one online."
"Yes, sir." The entire IT department scrambled to their feet and left.
Max then asked Jared, ’Mr. Johnston, do you want me to call Preston and Zeke over?"
"Yeah, let them come over and help me deal with it first." Jared rubbed his forehead to ease his headache, his mind
brimming with thoughts about Nicole.
"I'll leave it to you. I'll head back first." Jared said, wanting to return home and set the record straight once and for
all.
