Chapter 246 Elbert's Return
At this moment, Elbert was sitting by a small river in his hometown.
He watched Dennis excitedly catch shrimp in the river.
It was a pleasant scene.
Suddenly, Elbert's phone rang.
It was from his old classmate, Eric, the head of Cybersecurity Team 1 at the Wavehaven branch of the Veridiania Cybersecurity Bureau!
Elbert had once hacked the power system of Wavehaven Oceanview District for Paul’s orphanage concert.
Since then, Eric had marked him as a hall-of-fame hacker with an SSS-level threat!
At that time, Elbert went by the alias Paul Four!
However, the extremely frustrated Eric never found a trace of Paul Four.
He also had no idea that Elbert was Paul Four.
He only knew from a rooftop class reunion that Elbert was the mastermind behind Creator!
"Hey, Eric, what made you call me? I'm out here catching shrimp with my kid."
"Kid? Catching shrimp? What's going on?" Eric was dumbfounded!
After a moment of reaction, Eric anxiously shouted, "Oh no, forget it! Something is wrong! Veridiania's network has been breached by international hackers! Jacob's Meta Platforms Company is already paralyzed, and the next target might be Gemini APP. You're still catching shrimp? If you don't come back, your company will be destroyed! Come back right now!"
After hanging up the phone, Elbert sighed deeply.
He glanced briefly at the situation summarized by Robert and then stood up slowly.
This relaxing trip to his hometown was forced to end!
Elbert took a few people back to his small courtyard.
Eleanor also hurried back!
"Elbert, what's going on? You actually bought our factory? The factory manager gave me the office and wanted me to sign a bunch of documents!"
Elbert smiled. "Mom, remember when I told you?? Alvin and I made a lot of money. Our company is a big one! I saved a few months' salary and bought the factory. I know you don't want to give up your work. I just hope you can be a bit more relaxed and free in the future."
Eleanor was shocked. "Elbert, are you kidding me? How can I run a factory?"
Elbert gave Eleanor a big hug. "Mom, don't worry. I asked Alvin to invest a bit of money in the factory, just 100 million dollars. Whether it makes money or not doesn't matter. As long as you don't blow up the factory, it won't go bankrupt!"
"Elbert, is the company you and Alvin run a bank-robbing company?"
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. I have some business to attend to at my company, and I need to head back. I'll come home to see you in a couple of days."
Then, under Eleanor's reluctant gaze, Elbert and his group drove away.
However, Eleanor was a bit curious.
Why were there so many black cars on the usually quiet little street in front of the house today?
Eleanor would never know who was sitting in the three cars near her house.
One was a special operations team personally assigned by Leonard from the Wavehaven Special Operations Group, specifically to protect Eleanor!
The second was five members of the Black Fox gang, the largest gang in Wavehaven, now dedicated to protecting Paul Two's mother!
The third car had three blond, blue-eyed foreigners, A5-level modified humans!
They were arranged by Trinity, from the FIC Asian branch, responsible for protecting a mysterious woman from Veridiania
If there were troublemakers, the Black Fox gang would handle it!
If there was trouble from Veridiania people, the Wavehaven Special Operations Team would handle it!
If there were trouble from modified humans, the FIC would handle it!
Given the information protection implemented by Robert,, none of this was likely to happen!
However, who could blame them for being cautious when this ordinary woman from Veridiania was Elbert's mom?
After arranging for Dennis and the others, Elbert slowly walked into the largest conference room.
At this moment, the conference room was already equipped with over 80 top-tier computers.
More than 80 technicians were frantically working on their computers.
Jacob had also arrived.
His Meta Platforms Company was one of the largest internet companies in Veridiania.
His data had been stolen, which was a national-level threat.
Naturally, he was called in immediately to discuss countermeasures!
"Elbert, you're finally back! That computer is yours! Hurry up and contact your company to set up defenses!"
Eric was bustling around the room, constantly observing the situation.
Elbert calmly walked to his computer and casually sat down.
He glanced around the room, and two people caught his attention.
The first was Kenneth Robinson, now a senior consultant for an antivirus software company, but his true identity was the Guardian of Veridiania's network, Scorpion Dragon!
Elbert nodded slightly.
Being able to invite such a big shot, the Wavehaven Cybersecurity Bureau was indeed formidable!
The second was a long-haired beauty in tight jeans, wearing a T-shirt that couldn't hide her perfect figure!
Her face was flawless, her skin fair, and her features exquisite!
She was Veridiania's top female hacker, Ashley Thompson!
Scorpion Dragon and Ashley looked up from their busy work at Eric's call.
Their eyes showed a hint of indifference.
This guy was just an internet company boss!
All he knew was how to make money through software and algorithms!
Once under attack, all he could do was worry about his stolen data and panic!
Elbert shrugged slightly.
He looked at the computer in front of him.
He looked at the computer in front of him, which showed the alarming situation of Veridiania's internet companies under attack.
Meta Platforms Company had already fallen, but Gemini APP was still running smoothly.
