Chapter 10 Infiltrating the Lindon Group's Network

• This was hardly a challenge for him. A sly smile flickered in Zeke's eyes.
• Under the guise of the hacker, Lord Z, he infiltrated the Lindon Group's network. Zeke broke through layer after layer of encryption in search of Damon's photos.
• After an exhaustive search, he found nothing.
• Just as he was about to hack into the Lindon Group's surveillance system to check on his mother, his phone rang unexpectedly.
• He had no choice but to abort the intrusion and quickly shut down his computer.
• "Mom, where are you?" He asked anxiously.
• "Sweetheart, Mommy will be home soon. Just wait for me, okay?" Ava's voice softened as she heard her son's sweet tone. It lifted the gloom from her entire day.
• She was grateful for Zeke's presence over the years; without him, she would have been completely alone.
• Meanwhile, Damon was about to leave his office when an alarm suddenly blared from above.
• Almost immediately, the on-duty staff noticed the network anomaly and promptly informed Dave, the president's personal assistant.
• "Mr. Lindon, we have a problem. Our network has been hacked!" Dave's voice was urgent over the phone.
• Damon swiftly returned to his leather chair and opened the Lindon Group's homepage when he received the call.
• When he saw the layers of breached encryption, he quickly checked the secure database and found nothing missing.
• It was clearly a provocation.
• At that moment, Dave had rushed into the office at his top speed. After he received a nod from Damon, he quickly went to the office.
• "Lord Z?" Damon narrowed his eyes and said dangerously, "Have I been too kind lately and attracted so many who dare to court death?"
• The room's temperature plummeted. Dave had just entered the room. Fearing the CEO's burning anger, he held his breath and dared not make a sound.
• Did his boss just claim he was too kind?
• Oh my god! This is the most ridiculous joke I've ever heard in my life.
• Dave silently complained to himself.
• Damon glanced up and gave his assistant a look. He was already questioning whether he should get a new assistant. Dave appeared to be suffering from mid-life dementia, as he had been zoning out more and more lately.
• Feeling the sharp stare, Dave snapped back to attention and carefully reported, "The intruder worked too fast. We didn't have time to breach his firewall before he escaped."
• Dave felt the oppressive atmosphere, and his voice grew quieter, not daring to look up.
• Damon's face darkened. His tone was icy as he commanded, "Isn't half of the tech team stationed at the company? How did they miss this?"
• "Well, it was after work hours. Some were having dinner, and others were resting." Dave's voice trembled as he explained.
• Silence enveloped the room for several seconds.
• Damon's cold, commanding gaze moved between Dave and the computer screen. He suddenly asked, "Did you trace Lord Z's identity?"
• "We haven't found any information on him yet." Dave felt so anxious that his heart almost leaped out of his throat.
• "Get out," Damon ordered coldly as he locked his piercing gaze at Dave.
• Dave wiped his cold sweat as he exited the office.
• He was grateful for his fitness; otherwise, he would have collapsed under his boss's oppressive aura.
• Fortunately, nothing important was stolen, or the entire tech team would have been fired.
• Dave would also suffer consequences, as he was likely sent to Nespiyca to mine.
• He composed himself and sternly addressed the network security team.
• "Listen up! If you don't want to be sent to Nespiyca to mine, do your jobs properly. If this happens again, you will pack your bags!"
• The mere mention of Nespiyca widened everyone's eyes. That place was hell on earth. They quickly grew serious as they buried themselves in their work.
• It was a tense night, but nothing had happened. Damon checked the time and left the building.
• Dave and the tech team were left in the office to work through the night, fixing firewalls and resetting passwords.
• ...
• At Lindon Mansion.
• The expansive, luxurious mansion stood amidst a vast garden.
• "Damon, you're finally home!" Silvia lounged with her feet up, munching on an apple while flipping channels with the remote.
• Damon glanced at her and shook his head. Five years had passed, and his sister was still as carefree and irresponsible as ever.
• It was time to find her a boyfriend.
• "Wash your hands and have dinner!" Lane Fleming, Damon's mother, smiled warmly at her accomplished son. Her eyes are full of love.
• Damon followed her voice and was surprised to see his mother. He asked, "When did you arrive?"
• "Around noon. Silvia has come home; your father and I thought we'd have a family dinner," Lane replied, setting the table.
• Looking at the table filled with delicious dishes, he knew they were his mother's handiwork.
• He glanced around, but didn't see his son. He began searching the entire house.
• Lane noticed her son's concern and knew he was looking for Aster. She said gently, "Aster is with his grandpa in the game room. They are building blocks."
• Damon changed his shoes and headed to the playroom. He walked up to Aster and asked, "Why did you break things today?"
• George Lindon, Damon's father, was there and watched his grandson build a large Lego robot.
• However, the so-called accompany was just the old man proudly sitting beside Aster, watching his grandson with admiration.
• Aster ignored Damon and focused on his Lego. The robot towered over him.
• "Answer me!" Damon raised his voice when the boy ignored him.
• "You're a liar. Why should I talk to you?" Aster shoved the final Lego piece into the robot's eye and pushed Damon aside, heading upstairs.
• Damon was puzzled. He held back his anger and asked, "Liar? Did someone tell you something?"
• His question went unanswered.
• Hearing the door slam, Damon turned to his father, seeking answers.
• George was equally puzzled. Aster had been building blocks all afternoon when they arrived, not speaking a word. He had sat beside him all afternoon.
• "This brat's temper is getting worse," Damon grumbled. He was already irritated by Ava that day, and his rage flared up at this time.
• George chuckled from the side and mocked him. "He's your son, after all."
• Hahaha! This is the circle of life; Damon had tormented us once, just as Aster tormented him now.
