    Chapter 145 Risking It All


    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.


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    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


    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, arge 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 with her.
