Chapter 1845
"His skills are indeed amazing, but we'll have to wait till the next round to find out about his abilities," Rowdon said.
For the sake of showmanship, the host continued, "Are you going to compete in the next round?"
The corner of Rowdon's mouth twitched. He naturally wanted to say no. He was, after all, a 'master' in computers.
It would be ridiculous to lower himself to compete with a student. However, his eyes suddenly saw the judges off
stage and the newly appointed governor. He could not resist smiling, thinking this was his chance to impress the
governor.
"Alright, if he could defeat me. I'll let him advance directly!" Rowdon said with confidence. Nicole was
rubbernecking beside Zeke. She could not help but laugh at him. "It looks like someone's picking a fight with you."
This was the disadvantage of showing off. The reason Nicole had still not started was that she did not want to

Zeke snorted. "I'm not scared of him. I’ve been irritated with him for a long time. I'll teach him a lesson today."
As a webmaster, this person had not once taken a cut from the missions they both accepted without contributing
anything. Zeke had disliked him for a long time. Nicole did not care either. "Well, this kind of person does deserve to
be taught a lesson."
Nicole was supportive of Zeke's actions. However, she was still slowly typing in each character, though her speed of
decoding was still rather quick.
Ryder was already sweating at this point. He had cracked up to 60 percent. He lifted his head and never expected
to see Nicole with the same percentage. He thought, 'Sure enough, even Nicole could not handle
Master Lynch.' With that thought in mind, Ryder became even more serious.
On the contrary, Gary still looked relaxed, as he was only hoping for a showdown between the two masters at the
end. He did not care about other matters. He was fine to get top five this year.
At the next second, Zeke finished cracking the program. The arena suddenly erupted with cheers and thunderous
applause. Mr. Hardy and the students from Northon Institute were cheering loudly off the stage.
"First place is Zeke!”
"Zeke's the best!"
Zeke smiled at Mr. Hardy as he found the pride he once felt before after sensing the enthusiasm of the students of
Northon Institute cheering for him.
On the Royal Creek Institute side, Mr. Zach stared seriously and nervously at the Finley brothers, hoping they would
soon crack the program.
However, he soon noticed another student was keeping pace with Ryder's speed. He looked at the name on the
progress bar and saw Nicole's name.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr. Zach remembered the teacher's words from the earlier computer training class. The teacher informed him that
a student named Nicole was rather talented and seemingly on par with Ryder. He had almost forgotten about her.
But judging by the process bar, she was still a little slower than Ryder. He could not help but sigh, hoping these
three would hurry up and decode the program.
On stage, the host was already congratulating Zeke. "This round was truly exciting. Zeke had once again showcased
his abilities. Do you have the confidence to win the next round if your opponent is Master Lynch?"
Zeke looked at Rowdon with a hint of arrogance, not even putting the fifth- ranked hacker on The Hunters'
leaderboard in his eyes. "Him? He's not
qualified to be my opponent."
In Zeke's eyes, only Nicole was a worthy opponent. Rowdon was nothing compared to him. The whole crowd was
stunned at his arrogance.
Everyone thought that he was too proud.
"My God... Even though he was the champion last year, that was too arrogant." "I know, right? Rowdon is the fifth-
ranked hacker on The Hunters' international leaderboard."
