Chapter 90
"M-Mr. Levisay, what do you mean?" Jordan looked at Joaquin sullenly as he suddenly felt
embarrassed for making such an usation. Joaquin knew that Katherine was innocent, yet he still
yed along, which made Jordan feel like a clown. Jordan''s face was blushing as he''d never been that
embarrassed in his whole life.

Joaquin then raised his brow and looked over at Jordan. "You should have admitted it if you''re
ipetent. Is it that hard to own up to your mistakes? Does it make you feel better to put the me
on someone else?"
Joaquin''s remarks were a p in the face for Jordan, but he could only keep quiet as he had no
grounds to refute them. "Joaquin, we were just distraught at the incident because we have been
nning everything for a long time, and it hadn''t been an easy task for our brothers to sneak into their
respective posts. However, all of our hard work will be going down the drain, and our brothers might
lose their lives anytime soon." One of the men standing behind Jordan could no longer suppress his
emotions and cried as he said those words.
Hearing that, Joaquin merely nced at him and didn''t say a word. At the same time, Katherine
stopped her footsteps and turned around to look at them. She knew what Area Seven represented, as
she had heard about it numerous times when she was in Fontan. She was actually intrigued by
Joaquin''s identity, as he managed to lead Area Seven at such a young age which proved that he was a
man of high caliber.
"Joaquin, many of them had started going undercover in their teens, and some of them had been doing
it for more than 20 years. I just felt that this isn''t fair for them."
"Joaquin, we have promised Florence that we will go for a drink when he''s back. My children have
already grown up, but he is still stuck there. How are we going to let his parents know if he had died
because of the data leak?"
After one of them cried, the others started crying as well. They were all grown men, and yet, they cried
like a baby. Katherine stood still as she looked at all of them. Most of them had been selected to join
and train at Area Seven since they were young, so they didn''t get to spend much time with their
families, which was the same case for the ones who were undercover. To Katherine, they were just
strangers, but she was touched by how thoughtful they were toward theirrades.
"Do you need my help?" She turned over to look at Joaquin, and it was her first time offering to help.
"No, thank you. Just go and attend to the patients." He looked at her and shook his head to reject her
offer.
"Actually, I know a thing or two about coding. Maybe I can help you out on this?" She spoke humbly.
"What do you know about it? Do you know who we are up against? Don''t think that you can help us just
by knowing how to switch theputers on and off. Stop sputtering nonsense if you don''t know a
thing." Jordan really despised people like Katherine, who acted like they knew something when they
really didn''t, especially when she said that she was familiar with coding.
Who does she think she is? A prodigy? How good could she be when she''s just in her early 20s? On
top of that, she''s a woman, Jordan thought to himself.
Hearing that, Katherine nced over at Jordan coldly as she had a feeling that Jordan had held a
grudge against her ever since she got there, and she didn''t know why.
"We are faced with one of the top hackers in the world." Joaquin pursed his lips and looked at
Katherine while trying to read her expression.
Katherine remained calm, simr to how she treated him that night when he sneaked into her room.
She had always been a mystery to him, so he wouldn''t be surprised if she told him that she was an
expert inputer science.
"Do you have a better option? If not, I can give it a try." Shrugging nonchntly, she offered to help
since she suddenly felt like helping. Although she risked having her identity exposed at the same time,
she was doing them a favor. If it wasn''t for the good things that Area Seven had done for the country
and her grandfather''s rtionship with Area Seven, she wouldn''t have wanted to get herself involved.
"Huh, you''ll only be able to help us out if you are the world''s number one hacker, Z. No one besides Z
will be able to solve our issue." Jordan scoffed as he thought that she was putting up a front.
Hearing that, Katherine pinched her nose and nced at Joaquin. At that moment, she thought her true
identity was about to be exposed.
"Then you should give it a try." When Joaquin looked at how calm she was, he suddenly felt that she
was being humble when she said she knew a thing or two aboutputer science.
Jordan looked over at Joaquin in disbelief when he agreed to it and was disappointed in him for
believing in everything that the woman said. However, he didn''t dare to talk back to Joaquin and was
looking forward to her embarrassing herselfter on.
The technical department had its own separate building, and as everyone walked over to the main hall
on the first floor, Katherine was surprised to notice high specsputers there. Those were the most
advancedputers in the world. Woah, Area Seven is rather impressive.
She calmly sat in front of one of theputers and started typing on the keyboard. Just then, a bunch
of symbols appeared on theputer screen, which surprised Joaquin as he was getting more curious
about how good herputer skills really were. Jordan, who was waiting for her to make a fool of
herself, looked at her in disbelief, and his jaw dropped.
Katherine ignored everyone''s expression and quickly entered amand. As she pressed the enter
key, she managed to sessfully invade the firewall that Jordan imed to have a very high-security
factor in less than a second. Jordan''s expression was glum as he found that he couldn''t understand a
thing she did while he stared at her.
After she had bypassed the firewall, she could quickly identify the loophole in it. Once she had repaired
it, she traced the loophole and managed to enter the hacker''sputer system, which invaded Area
Seven''s firewall. She destroyed all the data and, at the same time, identified the other party''s location.
With that, a string of IP addresses appeared on theputer screen.
Seeing that, Jordan immediately eximed, "Quick, track down the IP address. It''s the hacker who
hacked our system and retrieved our data."
However, Katherine ignored him as she fixed their firewall and also added anotheryer of security to
safeguard it before exiting.
"There''s no issue now. Moreover, it would be futile to track them down, as they had already escaped.
The hacker didn''t leak your data, so I''m sure that they didn''t have any ill intentions." Katherine nced
over at the busy Jordan and reminded him.
Meanwhile, Joaquin was deep in thought as he stared at her. Seeing that she was walking over to him,
he took a step forward and whispered to her, "What other secrets are you hiding? Are you really the
good-for-nothing Miss Cornell of the Cornell Family?"
