Chapter 754
No one knew where Matthew had been hiding. Neither the gangs nor the rebels had anticipated that he would have been hiding within the government military building.
After seeing Mira off, Matthew fell into a groggy sleep. In his dream, he saw Valerie crying uncontrollably while holding their baby, pleading for help. His heart ached at the sight. Startled awake, he sat up in bed with a furrowed brow and thought, 'Valerie must be in trouble, I need to resolve the issue as soon as possible.' If something happened to Valerie by the time Matthew returned, it would be disastrous.
At that moment, Matthew clenched his fists tightly. He needed to pull himself together for Valerie's sake; he couldn't afford to wait. After getting ready, he headed downstairs, only to find someone blocking the door.
Matthew took a step back and said, "I need to see Hamm."
When Hamm learned that Matthew wanted to see him, he was immediately delighted. He thought, 'I knew King would come to seek my help.' After all, safeguarding security and being confined here were two entirely different things.
Seeing him approach, Hamm smiled and said, "My friend, how did you sleep last night?"
"Not bad. Have you found the person? Since I'm staying here for now, shouldn't you show your sincerity as well? You need to find the person I'm looking for quickly. Has Commander Davin returned? What's the situation with the rebels? And has the insider reached out to you?" Matthew asked.
Hamm's mouth twitched when he heard this. "What else do you know?"
Matthew chuckled, propping his legs up on the sofa. As the servants brought in breakfast, he sipped champagne and ate, nodding. "I know you sent a spy. With internal and external support, things should work out, but if he doesn't receive orders, the operation can't proceed. Only I can help you solve this problem and make contact with the other side. In exchange, you must find the person I'm looking for."
Hamm's expression darkened. "Are you threatening me?"
Matthew shrugged. "If you choose to think of it that way, I have nothing more to say. But I believe you have no other choice."
The situation was clear. Matthew did not need to exaggerate, and Hamm understood the current state of affairs. The insider was with the rebels, but without clear instructions, they were unable to coordinate effectively.
Davin had already made it clear yesterday, that Matthew's abilities were significant and he must be treated well. However, Hamm disliked being threatened directly. He said, "Let me think about it."
Matthew feigned indifference, though he had slept uneasily last night. Despite helping the government forces disrupt the enemy'swork, the war wouldn't end just because of his cyberattacks. Now, more effort was needed to turn the tide.
At this moment, the rebels were in
chaos. They had previously left the government forces in disarray, and now they were stunned by how quickly this once disorganized group had become so formidable. Who had they brought in? Could it be rescue forces from Sheonga? They needed to resolve this situation quickly; otherwise, they would risk being overpowered again.
At this time, the rebels began a thorough investigation within their ranks, and tension ran high. They eventually discovered that the problem was caused by a hacker attack. The rebels were enraged to find that, during their conflict with the government forces, hackers dared to assist the enemy. However, their expertise in this area was lacking. Moreover, finding skilled hackers during wartime proved to be an enormous challenge, leaving them frustrated and at their wits' end. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
At this moment, the local gang showed up unannounced. The rebel leader was initially surprised to see the gang leader and a small team arrive in such a grand manner. However, it soon became clear why: the gang's territory was also within the government-controlled area, heavily damaged by the conflict. If they didn't cooperate, they would face dire consequences as well.
Hence, both sides sat down together. A young man from the gang stepped forward, opened his laptop, and immediately began showing something. The rebels erupted in outrage, shouting, "Another hacker intrusion!"
The leader was immediately shocked. The young man had breached their defenses right under his nose in just a few minutes! "I want this person," he said. "Don't worry; we'll guard your territory. Nothing will happen to it!"
Upon hearing this, the gang members were pleased. As long as their territory and market were secured, they believed everything else would be fine. With the hacker's help, the rebels were able to regain the high ground.
"Landry Newman, breach the government forces'work and disrupt their defenses. I'm going to launch a counterattack!" the leader said. Landry immediately began.
While Hamm was still hesitating about Matthew's fate, a raspy laugh suddenly came from the office. "I'm here. Find me!"
"We're under attack!" they reported.
Hamm quickly looked over and saw the computer screen covered in a sea of red. Panic set in as he furrowed his brow and urgently commanded, "Hurry, counterattack!"
"It's no use; his attack is too fast. We can barely hold on. Let's have King come and take a look!" they said.
"King, come quickly and help us out!" Hamm had no choice but to call on Matthew once again.
Matthew examined the attack patterns and sat down. After a few rounds, he quickly recognized the techniques, which were very familiar to him. A smirk crossed his face as he thought, 'If I'm not mistaken, the person on the other side might be an old acquaintance. This is getting interesting.'
