Chapter 947 Launching An Attack
It was one in the morning.
Anthony started byunching an attack on Vermillion Base''swork with members from the dark web.
Sitting in front of theputer, Anthony made the first move, with Cosmos sitting next to him, wearing
a serious expression.
This cyberattack was bound to be andmark event, but the oue was still uncertain.
It would be fine if they won, but if they ended up losing, the whole thing would be a joke.
What the members of the dark web found even more uneptable was the fact that they were being
led by a child. To them, it was simply inconceivable.
However, they had no choice but to obey their higher-ups'' orders.
It wasn''t until they saw Anthony''s skills that they truly understood looks could indeed be deceiving.
In a matter of minutes, Anthony skillfully breached the opponent''swork, identifying a vulnerability
that could be exploited, thereby paving the way for their potential attack.
Cosmos observed from the sidelines, initially expecting Anthony to require more time. However, his
eyes widened in astonishment as he beheld the contents disyed on the screen.
“You''ve found it already?” Cosmos couldn''t help asking.
His fingers still flying across the keyboard, Anthony stared intently at the screen and said, “Cut the cr*p
and hurry! They''ll discover us soon!”
Hearing that, Cosmos said to his buddies, “Let''s get started!”
At a singlemand, everyoneunched into a fierce attack simultaneously.
However, the opposing party quickly noticed the mass attack, and their defense system began to
initiate automatic protection.
Though Cosmos and other members of the dark web were on the offensive, due to Vermillion Base''s
defense system, they still had to exert considerable effort. Cosmos frowned. “I originally thought that
Vermillion Base would be easy to defeat, but I didn''t expect their system to be quite capable!”
Anthony murmured, “Don''t forget that Vermillion Base was among the first organizations to employ
hackers. Even though they''ve fallen on hard times these years, they surely have their own hacker
team. They won''t be as easy to defeat as we imagine!”
“Can such a poor organization even afford a hacker team?” he asked.
“Perhaps they are poor because they hired hackers,” Anthony retorted.
Cosmos paused for a moment and nodded in agreement. “That makes sense...”
Suddenly, Anthony warned, “Watch out!”
Cosmos focused his gaze on the screen and dodged the attack following Anthony''s warning.
Frowning, he stared at the screen. “Someone''s starting a counterattack!”
Anthony''s expression was grave. “Yeah, and they''re an expert!”
Cosmos immediately perked up, straightening his posture. “It''s been a while since I''ve had a good fight
with someone. Now that the fight''s here, let''s see who''s more formidable!” With that, Cosmos
unleashed a powerful and aggressive assault.
Anthony continued typing away on the keyboard. His mission wasn''t to engage inbat with this
mysterious opponent, but to paralyze the entirework of Vermillion Base and furthermore, to
sabotage all their operations.
However, Anthony didn''t stop the person who was rallying with Cosmos. Having Cosmos distracting the
person made it easier for him to carry out his operations.
“Everyone else, follow my lead and keep attacking!” Anthonymanded.
Under Anthony''s guidance, they joined forces andunched an all-out attack.
Cosmos squared off with the other party for a while before frowning. “This guy is impressive. He''s got
some skills!”
Sparing a nce in Cosmos'' direction, Anthony, who was still busy doing his job, said, “Cosmos, you''re
no match for him. Don''t try to take him head-on. Just keep him busy and buy me some time!”
Cosmos seemed somewhat displeased. “How do you know I''m not his match?”
“Isn''t it obvious enough?”
“But...”
“Can you please prioritize the bigger picture?” asked Anthony, turning to look at him.
Cosmos paused for a moment, taken aback by the boy''s earnest and imploring gaze. Why does it feel
like I''m not even as mature as a child?
He replied, “I was just asking. Of course, I''ll consider the bigger picture.”
“Thank you!” Anthony said stiffly before averting his gaze and continuing his attack.
Cosmos wondered why Anthony reacted this way, but now was clearly not the time for questions. He
looked back at his screen and began keeping the other party busy, stalling time while Anthony and the
others continued attacking.
As the battle progressed, Cosmos'' opponent suddenly disappeared. He was briefly stunned, and his
professional intuition told him that something was definitely amiss.
Turning his gaze to Anthony, he said, “That guy suddenly disappeared. He must have realized that I
was buying time. Be careful. He might being for you!”
However, no sooner had his words faded than Anthony, who was looking at the screen, said, “He''s
already here!”
Cosmos directed his gaze toward Anthony''s screen, and indeed, that guy had switched his target to
Anthony.
“Impressive. He knows who''s the boss!” said Cosmos, impressed.
Anthony''s expression wos grove. “Yeoh, ond they''re on expert!”
Cosmos immediotely perked up, stroightening his posture. “It''s been o while since I''ve hod o good fight
with someone. Now thot the fight''s here, let''s see who''s more formidoble!” With thot, Cosmos
unleoshed o powerful ond oggressive ossoult.
Anthony continued typing owoy on the keyboord. His mission wosn''t to engoge inbot with this
mysterious opponent, but to porolyze the entirework of Vermillion Bose ond furthermore, to
sobotoge oll their operotions.
However, Anthony didn''t stop the person who wos rollying with Cosmos. Hoving Cosmos distrocting the
person mode it eosier for him to corry out his operotions.
“Everyone else, follow my leod ond keep ottocking!” Anthonymonded.
Under Anthony''s guidonce, they joined forces ond lounched on oll-out ottock.
Cosmos squored off with the other porty for o while before frowning. “This guy is impressive. He''s got
some skills!”
Sporing o glonce in Cosmos'' direction, Anthony, who wos still busy doing his job, soid, “Cosmos, you''re
no motch for him. Don''t try to toke him heod-on. Just keep him busy ond buy me some time!”
Cosmos seemed somewhot displeosed. “How do you know I''m not his motch?”
“Isn''t it obvious enough?”
“But...”
“Con you pleose prioritize the bigger picture?” osked Anthony, turning to look ot him.
Cosmos poused for o moment, token obock by the boy''s eornest ond imploring goze. Why does it feel
like I''m not even os moture os o child?
He replied, “I wos just osking. Of course, I''ll consider the bigger picture.”
“Thonk you!” Anthony soid stiffly before overting his goze ond continuing his ottock.
Cosmos wondered why Anthony reocted this woy, but now wos cleorly not the time for questions. He
looked bock ot his screen ond begon keeping the other porty busy, stolling time while Anthony ond the
others continued ottocking.
As the bottle progressed, Cosmos'' opponent suddenly disoppeored. He wos briefly stunned, ond his
professionol intuition told him thot something wos definitely omiss.
Turning his goze to Anthony, he soid, “Thot guy suddenly disoppeored. He must hove reolized thot I
wos buying time. Be coreful. He might being for you!”
However, no sooner hod his words foded thon Anthony, who wos looking ot the screen, soid, “He''s
olreody here!”
Cosmos directed his goze toword Anthony''s screen, ond indeed, thot guy hod switched his torget to
Anthony.
“Impressive. He knows who''s the boss!” soid Cosmos, impressed.
Anthony nced at Cosmos. “Let''s switch roles. You lead the attack, and I''ll keep him upied!”
Cosmos nodded. “Okay!”
With that, the duo swapped their targets and carried on.
Vermillion Base''s team defended themselves andunched counterattacks simultaneously.
The dark web''s system was notoriously impregnable, making their counterattack almost an impossible
task. Therefore, they put all their efforts into defense.
Anthony, on the other hand, was dealing with the hacker whom Cosmos confronted.
It would arouse suspicion if he did nothing but stall for time, so he continued tounch ferocious
attacks. The other party analyzed his location while defending against Anthony''s attacks.
The two of them were entangled in an intense battle.
At that moment, the other party suddenly asked: Is it you?
His question confirmed Anthony''s suspicion. He typed: So, it''s you!
In just a few words, they understood each other.
Anthony: Who would''ve thought we''d meet again? I didn''t expect you to be from Vermillion Base!
The other party replied: I''m not one of them!
Anthony asked: If you''re not, what are you doing now?
The other party typed: I was paid to carry out this mission.
Anthony questioned: How much did they give you?
The other party: What do you mean?
Anthony: I''ll give you double, no, ten times the amount. I don''t need you to do anything but give up on
attacking.
The other party snapped: Do you take me for a fool?
Anthony: I''m serious. I never joke around.
The other party: But I''m not just after money.
Anthony arched his brow and replied: Looks like we can''t reach an agreement, huh?
The other party warned: I advise you to back off while you still can, otherwise, don''t me me for not
showing you any mercy!
Anthony chuckled lightly, then, with a serious expression, typed out a message: You all should be the
ones to back off and save your energy. No matter how desperately you struggle today, Vermillion
Base''swork must be paralyzed!
Unleashing an attack, the other party replied: I''d like to see you try!

s, the dark web''s system remained unaffected despite his powerful attack.
The other party was taken aback: You''ve modified the system?
Anthonyughed and typed out: What''s the matter? If you can y dirty tricks, we can handle it, too.
The other party: Is it you?
