Chapter 145


    The duke strode across and asked coldly, “What happened?” Cringing, Gerald cried in disbelief, “My


    carefully designed firewall and programming codes were cracked…” “Get to the point,” the Duke


    demanded. “I don’t care about the process, I just want to know the results.” Gerald stammered, “Re…


    Results? They will be able to track us within two… two minutes.” The Duke was perturbed by his


    statement. He knew that Vinson had many talents around him, officially and in secret. He even had


    Carter, who was an adept at everything rted to technology.


    Hence, he picked Southall Group as the location tounch his attack. He terminated all of their


    communication signals to cut off any contact between Vinson and Carter. There shouldn’t be an issue


    since Carter isn’t in the big picture. What went wrong? Does Vinson have other professionals around


    him whom I don’t know? Gerald exined, “Duke, we have a decision to make. Their intention is


    obvious, they want to take control of the systems. If we grant them ess, they won’t have the time to


    track our location. If we don’t, they’ll be able to locate us in no time.


    Consequently, we won’t be able to stay in the dark anymore. Once we’re exposed, it’s harder for us to


    fight them…” The duke fell silent. Once we give them full control, this n will be ruined. Should I make


    this easy for Vinson? He was very reluctant. To him, the current n was the most ideal one as it took


    ce at the right ce and the best time when Vinson was fully unaware of the trap ahead of him. He


    wondered if he could score another opportunity in the future to deceive Vinson and pin him down.


    Clenching his fists in anger, his bulging veins shown. Clicking on the keyboard, Gerald urged, “Duke,


    you’ve got to make a call now. They’re getting insanely fast. I can’t even rebuild the firewall quickly


    enough to stop them from getting through.


    Oh no, I can’t hold it any longer. They are going to nail us in no time!” “Duke!” Frantically, Gerald stood


    up and yelled in a high-pitched voice. Gritting his teeth, the Duke uttered, “Give it to them.” Relieved,


    Gerald pressed the key… Across the coast, the third explosion just happened at Southall


    Group. Bomb!


    A loud crash sounded from upstairs. Thankfully, it urred far away from the first floor. Thus, it did not


    impact the security room directly. However, the ceiling which was already crumbling shook vigorously


    due to the tremor. Losing its pivot, it was copsing gradually. “It’s toote!”


    Vinson grabbed Arielle’s hand and shouted, “Let’s go now, it’s going to fall in ten seconds!” Motionless,


    Arielle stared at the screen. “I’m almost there. Soon, I’ll seed.” “Forget it! Leave now!” Right then, a


    large concrete steel fell off the ceiling from the opposite corner across the room. Comically enough, the


    windows stood rooted on its fixtures, as stable as rock, without a single crack. Arielle pushed him away


    and yelled, “You go first, let me try once more!” She wanted to take a risk without dragging him down
