She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 669

The operative who brokered the deal nervously whispered to the furious officials, "The number one hacker is Seraphim, but he only takes jobs when he feels like it. Ghost was the best we could get."

"The best you could get?" Ghost's eyes turned venomous. "You people really know how to insult someone. You think you're lowering yourselves by hiring me?"

He abruptly leaned over his ruined PC, rapidly keying in a manual override sequence, then slammed the laptop shut. Walking past the Minister of Justice, he shot him an icy glare.

Less than five minutes after Ghost stormed out, while the Minister was still shouting, disaster struck.

The entire Department of Justice network was breached. Massive caches of classified files, sealed case records, and internal communications were systematically leaked to the public.

The entire department was instantly paralyzed.

Standing outside the towering skyscraper, Ghost lit a cigarette. He sneered at the building. "I might not be able to beat Seraphim, but tearing through your garbage firewalls? That's a walk in the park."

In this invisible cyber war, the Department of Justice and the Investigation Bureau had been utterly annihilated.

Thanks to the massive data leak, eagle-eyed citizens quickly downloaded and archived highly sensitive, corrupted case files.

The shockwaves rattled Harmony Country to its core.

Back in the Lonsdale estate, Loyce watched the server stabilize and the anonymous, god-like data stream quietly log off. She let out a long breath.

Before vanishing, Quintin left a string of text on her screen.

*[You're buying me dinner next time. I want lobster.]*

Loyce stared at the message, then looked up as the door opened. Lucian walked in, looking devastatingly sharp in his full military uniform. She raised an eyebrow in question.

Why the sudden uniform?

Lucian walked over and lowered his voice. "That was Quintin. He's the number one hacker on the dark web, and he works for me."

Loyce nodded, looking back at the calm monitors. "He really is incredible."
