"What kind of virus is this? How can something this advanced even exist?"
"The firewalls are gone. We've completely lost control of the financial hub!"
These were the best minds in the industry.
They had no equals in the cyber world.
But now...
Faced with a complete system failure, they were powerless.
Every command they entered was instantly devoured.
It was the first time they had ever encountered such a violent, terrifying virus.
"What am I paying you for!" Mordecai's face twisted with fury. "Fix this system immediately, or I'll bury you all right next to it!"
The lead technician wiped away a cold sweat, his voice shaking. "Mr. Envoy, it's not that we don't want to. There's nothing we can do. We've tried everything."
Mordecai grabbed the man by his collar, his eyes burning with a lethal intensity. "You are responsible for this network, and you're telling me there's nothing you can do?"
"Someone infiltrated our servers right under your noses, and you didn't even notice!" The lead technician trembled violently, unable to utter a single word.
Mordecai shoved him away in disgust.
His face was completely devoid of color, his gaze manic.
The identities of the billionaires in attendance were far too sensitive.
Once they realized their assets had been swept clean from the system...
They wouldn't believe it was a hack.
They would assume the Obsidian Sun had orchestrated a massive heist to steal their wealth.
The amount of money involved was incomprehensible.
If the global elite united against them, the Obsidian Sun would face annihilation.
And the organization would pin the blame entirely on him.
When that happened...
He would face a fate worse than death!
Mordecai's breathing hitched, his eyes narrowing as paranoia set in.
A sudden thought struck him. He whipped around to face his
subordinate. "What about that faint Signal we detected earlier? Did Team A catch the intruder?"

The subordinate shook his head. "Mr. Envoy, the maximum security grid is online. We haven't detected a single trace of anyone breaching the island's perimeter." fo FindNovel.net
Mordecai squinted, his expression darkening into something monstrous.
The island's defenses were impenetrable by anyone on Earth.
If no one triggered the perimeter, it meant the intruder hadn't breached the island from the outside.
But if they didn't come from the outside, who just hacked their financial hub?
Who could turn the Obsidian Sun upside down right under their noses?
Mordecai furrowed his brow, his mind racing.
Every second mattered.
The elites in the auction hall were already growing restless.
If they figured out what happened, the situation would escalate beyond his control.
He was out of time.
Suddenly, Mordecai's pupils shrank.
The top floor! The VIP suite!
Duke Leopold's room!
The very suite that had triggered his suspicions from the start!
He had just overlooked a fatal detail.
He ran this island.
When he had walked down that
top-floor
Corridor, the two elite

guards stationed outside the had stood perfectly still.
They hadn't offered him a salute. They hadn't reacted to his presence at all.
Looking back on it now...
He couldn't even remember hearing them breathe.
