Chapter 83

“Emma?” Liam looked at Emma in surprise.

“What’s wrong? You don’t trust me?” Emma asked. Liam had just surprised her today. She could surprise him even more.

“No way.” Liam looked at Emma with more admiration. He knew that she was good at mathematics, had top–notch combat skills, and was very skilled in painting. However, he never knew that she knew how to deal with hackers.

“Then, please lend me your chair and computer for a while,” Emma said.

“Please.” Liam smiled and made an elegant gesture. Then, he stood beside her and watched quietly. Emma agilely used Liam’s computer to log into the company’s security system. Then, she quickly typed out a string of codes. A blue window appeared on the screen. She quickly searched….

Liam watched Emma carefully.

After searching, Emma discovered a few red dots in the database. She typed a long string of codes and fixed the loopholes one by one. The entire process took about three minutes. Emma heaved a sigh of relief and shrugged. “Done.”

On the other side, the people from the Information Department watched the entire process of Emma’s operation on their computers. Many of their programmers still did not understand what was going on when the maintenance process ended.

“Fuck. Did you see that clearly just now?” one of them asked.

“She opened some software and searched for all the loopholes. Then, she filled them all in,” another voice said.

“Fuck. What is the software that is so useful? We can download it too,” the first guy suggested.

“You two idiots,” the head of the information department complained. “That was made at the last minute, okay? It’s not software that can be downloaded.”

“Fuck. That’s awesome.” The people from the information department were even more shocked now. They wondered who it was that was more impressive than the entire Information Department.

Chapter 83

On the other side, after Brad discovered his hacking had been blocked, he became even more aggressive. “I didn’t expect Liam to have such a talent under him, but he’s fighting a losing battle.” Brad’s face was gloomy. “Inform the world’s top hacker on the black market to prepare.”

Not long after Emma rested, the computer screen that had become calm began to send out an alarm again. She realized the company’s confidential documents were flowing out without anyone noticing.

Emma narrowed her eyes. She quickly intercepted the channel of information theft. However, this time, the other side was much stronger than before.

After the hacking, all the computers in the Halls Group were jammed and controlled. A clown icon appeared in the middle of all the computer screens. With this, panic spread throughout the Halls Group building. Tens of thousands of employees‘ computers had all crashed, and the screen was filled with clown icons. No one knew what had happened to the company’s system until someone in the know recognized it.

“It’s Clow

Clown,” the person shouted.

Clown was the world’s third–ranked hacker on the black market. Legend has it that he once paralyzed the entire network of governments of the largest country in the West. When he hacked, a clown would appear on the other person’s computer. Even the president of the country couldn’t do anything about being targeted by Clown, let alone an ordinary company.

The employees of the Halls Group panicked after checking the information on Clown online.

At this moment, a few secretaries and assistants stood in Liam’s office. They were all watching Emma’s battle with the hacker. They couldn’t help but worry for her.

Emma was very powerful. She was even more powerful than the people from the Information Department. But this time, it was the Clown. As Liam’s right–hand men, they had heard of Clown. He was not an ordinary hacker, but the third–best hacker in the world.

They asked, “Mr. Hall, what should we do? It is Clown. No one in our company’s information. department can compete with him…”

Liam did not say anything. He just looked at Emma calmly.

There was a moment of silence in the office. Everyone looked at Emma too.

On one hand, they were worried about the company. On the other hand, they were curious about Emma’s reaction.

Only Levi was calm from the beginning to the end. He had already been awed by Emma’s

awesomeness too many times. Subconsciously, he thought that Emma could win no matter what she

did.

Sure enough, Emma focused on the screen and said, “Liam, let your employees leave first.” She wanted to focus on dealing with the hacker. She didn’t need to put in much effort to deal with Clown but she did not want too many people to suspect her identity.

The secretariat understood immediately. Emma was afraid of embarrassing herself in public, so she sent them away first.

Everyone looked at each other with tacit understanding and immediately filed out.

“Then we’ll go out first. Good luck, Mrs. Hall,” one of them said.

“It’s alright, Mrs. Hall. Just treat it as practice,” another added.

“Let’s leave now…” a third remarked.

After everyone left, only Emma and Liam were left in the room.

Emma did not hide from Liam this time. She began to enter lines of code, searching the globe. There were hundreds of locators on the other side, but Emma quickly found the real mainframe. It was in Laoland. She pursed her lips and smiled.

This time, Emma did not use any searching tools. Instead, she went straight into battle. Her speed was even faster, and the two sides clashed.

Among the top three hackers on the black market’s global rankings, the third place, Clown, had always been known for being mysterious and cunning. He could infiltrate everywhere without anyone. noticing. Stealing trade secrets was not the most terrifying thing. The terrifying thing was that before Clown left, he would clear everything from the system. The system that he destroyed would be paralyzed forever.

Even the second–ranked Eagle and the first–ranked Stox could not undo his evil deeds. A year ago, he had used this method to make one of the top ten corporations in the world go bankrupt overnight.

That tycoon had found Emma once to ask her to help repair the system. However, Emma had yet to replace a way to deal with Clown at that time and ultimately failed. Hence, whether it was the government or the corporations, they all were aghast when they talked about Clown.

Emma had devoted herself to researching for a year. Today, she was going to break the curse that Clown could not be defeated.

Emma saw through the trick and found Clown’s location. It was easy to control Clown’s main computer. She secretly changed a few key data in that computer and immediately cut it out, catching

everyone off guard.

Clown was difficult to deal with because his main computer was hard to locate. Like the mother and child, if they found the mother, everything would be resolved.

Soon, everyone saw Clown’s attack stop. Even the Clown’s icon had been replaced. All the computers gradually returned to normal.

Two seconds later, everyone looked at the gothic Octagram on the screen in a daze. A large number of feathers fell and formed an “S” on the screen.

At the same time, this pattern also appeared on Clown’s screen in Laoland. The battle between the two experts ended with Emma taking over the management rights of Clown’s computer. The battle only lasted for a few minutes and ended there. After all, Emma even controlled Clown’s computer. There was nothing he could do.

Almost at the same tim
