Five minutes before Laura cracked the trojan horse malware, a group of tattooed, burly men were gathered inside a basement in Daprein.


    They were staring at aptop solemnly.


    Some documents from mmable Explosive Organization were being downloaded on theptop.


    One of the men, Beardy, lit a cigar. As the smoke swirled around him, he spoke in an enigmatic manner. “Have you gotten your hands on mmable Explosive Organization’s customer orders and information?”


    Two men, d in ck and red outfits respectively, stood opposite him. They were Mike and Brad.


    Mike was a tall andnky man who bore a sinister appearance. “It’s being duplicated, but the information is encrypted. It needs to be downloaded andpressed before it can be unlocked. Currently, the progress is at 40%.”


    On the contrary, Brad was plump and possessed an honest appearance. “Yes! It’s just that it’s a little difficult to download the information.”


    Beardy frowned and asked impatiently, “How long will this take, then? If the virus gets cracked, our efforts will go to waste!”


    Mike raised his head and replied confidently, “Boss, the virus we used is state-of-the-art, and it can’t be cracked at all. If the other party tries to crack it by force, theptop will stop operating, and we can obtain their customer information, warehouse inventory and location, and the positions of their security guards. We can even hack into their surveince cameras and monitor them remotely. It’s as if they are running naked in front of us.”


    However, Beardy was still worried. “Still, the longer it takes, the more dangerous it is. We can’t take chances.”


    Mike smiled. “This virus was invented by the remarkable Knot. So far, no one has been able to crack it. Knot also said that if anybody tried to crack it, they would need to enter codes for three consecutive minutes without making a single mistake. Otherwise, they would have to start again from scratch. If someone is able to crack the codes, I’ll eat my own shit!”


    Suddenly, Brad screamed, “What the fuck? It’s been cracked!”


    Mike was stunned and rushed toward theptop.


    He thought, “The transmission has been terminated, and the virus has been cracked! Even the information has been wiped clean! How is this possible?”


    Brad squeezed his fists and shrieked, “Mike, is this virus a dud? It’s even weaker than a cockroach!”


    Beardy narrowed his eyes viciously, and he was close to throwing a fit of rage. In fact, he was not surprised about this oue. “Mike, exin yourself.”


    Mike was confused and pushed Brad away. “Impossible!”


    He had bought that virus for 100 thousand dors.


    Mike entered the codes hastily and used the same procedure of hacking into Joshua’sptop. Next, he turned on the webcam.


    A small, ruddy face came into view, and Mike could tell that he was looking at a four-year-old girl. She turned to someone beside her and said, “I’ve cracked it.”


    After that, Joshua’s face came into view. Joshua was ecstatic and kissed the girl on her cheek. “You’re amazing, Laura! You must be a deity!”


    Laura smiled sweetly. “Haha! I’m the smartest!”/


    ????????


    Mike was horrified and could not believe what he just


    Brad, who was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, looked at Mike and said, “Mike, did you really buy this thing for 100 thousand dors? A little girl in the diaper is able to crack it. Did some olddy doing square dancing create this virus?”

    Overwhelmed with frustration, Mike raised a hand to p Brad. “Shut up! It can’t be! It must be an illusion! Let’s try again!”


    After that, he sent the virus to Joshua’sptop.


    As he had already initiated the attack earlier, he hacked into theptop directly.

    Laura, who was seated in front of theptop, noticed the appearance of the little skeleton again. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and was about to start typing when Zayn leaned closer and asked, “Can I try?”


    She was stunned and stared at Zayn’s handsome face. “Of course.”


    Zayn sat in the chair and began typing rapidly on the keyboard.


    Joshua and Tyler stared at the boy.


    The other subordinates were also dumbfounded.


    Zayn acted quickly, and he was even more skillful than Laura. He entered the codes calmly.


    Soon, three minutes had gone by, and he managed to hack into theptop on the other end.


    Mike was rendered speechless.


    Meanwhile, Brad eximed, “Yes, it was an olddy who created this virus!”


    Breathing heavily, Mike hacked into Joshua’sptop again.


    He was only able to hack into the webcam.


    This time, however, he saw a handsome, young boy.


    Mike was confused.


    Brad muttered hopelessly, “And you said this virus can’t be cracked. In truth, cracking it is a piece of cake for these kids.”

    As soon as Brad had finished speaking, Beardy mmed the table and stood up. He pointed at his two subordinates and roared, “You useless idiots! You can’t even get this thing done! Just leave if you’re so ipetent!”


    After that, Beardy mmed the table again and left.


    Mike was in despair. “Boss, please give me another chance!”


    However, Beardy left without looking back and mmed the door shut.


    Now, only Mike and Brad were left inside the room.


    A frustrated Mike stood frozen on the spot. After a while, he closed hisptop forcefully.


    while,


    “Fuck!” He was trembling with rage. “I want information about these two children in three minutes! I want to know who they are!”


    Brad picked up his phone and raised his eyebrows “Never mind. I’ve discovered who they are.”


    Mike was stunned and leaned over to have a look.


    The screen showed a photo of Laura singing onstage and Zayn ying the piano in the background.


    Illuminated by the spotlights, they seemed like a match made in heaven.


    Mike gritted his teeth furiously. “Track them down. Once I find them, I’m going to teach them a lesson!”


    12:03 Thu, 28 Aug


    Meanwhile, a mor erupted at Joshua’s headquarters, and there was a deafening round of apuse in the office.


    “Amazing!”


    “These kids are incredible!”


    Tyler hugged Zayn and raised his head proudly. “I taught him! My disciple!”


    With a scowl, Zayn pushed him away. “I remembered everything after seeing the codes Laura entered. It has nothing to do with you.”


    Tyler was at a loss for words.


    Joshua was puzzled. “You can remember the codes after looking at them once? Are you humblebragging?”

    Spider, who was enjoying her dried pasta, mumbled, “These kids are born for this job. Why don’t youe here and manage the business when you grow up? You can sell aircraft with us!”


    The subordinates nodded eagerly.


    They agreed with this idea.


    They had faced a great deal of trouble in resolving the problem, but the two children were able to solve it within three minutes. Plus, they did so twice.


    Tears welled up in the eyes of the person who handled the information. He ced a hand on his heart and eximed gratefully, “You are my heroes!”


    He would not have to take a pay cut anymore.


    Laura was surprised and looked at Zayn. “Did we save the world?”


    Zayn answered contemtively, “To be precise, we’ve saved their wallets.”


    Tyler approached the children in a cocky manner and ced his hands on the table. Then, he stared at Laura like a psycho and smiled. “You haven’t just saved our wallets, little girl. You’ve also earned a future for yourselves. I saw how courageous, determined, and intelligent you were when you worked away at theptop. Thus, I’ve decided to make both of you my disciples.”


    Laura and Zayn kept quiet as they thought, “Haven’t we expressed our disinterest clearly? Why does he still want to make us his disciples? And he’s so cocky!”


    Everybody else was astonished and took a deep breath. “Mr. Larson, do you really want to make them your disciples?”


    A tired Joshua pinched his nose bridge and said, “Exactly, Uncle Tyler. If you make Laura your disciple, what will my rtionship with her be like in the future? Am I supposed to address her as my junior while she calls me ‘Uncle Joshua?””


    The others remarked in awe, “They are so lucky to get a head start in life at such a young age. I’m jealous!”


    “That’s right. So many people beg Mr. Larson to ept them as his disciples, but Mr. Larson rejects them. Yet, these two kids can be his disciples.


    How fortunate of them!”


    “I presume they will be excellent leaders after bing Mr. Larson’s disciples? Mr. Larson only epts children with leadership qualities.”


    Laura overheard thements and turned to look at Tyler.


    Tyler held his head up high and gazed at her smygly as he thought, “Did you hear that, little girl? This is what I call professionalism!”


    Then, he pointed at himself and said, “Little gil, I’ve taken your uncle under my wing since he was a tween. Look at him now. He’s not just a leader, but his name also strikes fear into the hearts of people within our circle. Besides, I used to train a remarkable female disciple who’s almost in the same league as your uncle. Known as de, she’s a formidable figure, too. If you two be my disciples, Joshua and de will be your seniors, and you’ll gain ess to a lot of benefits. Are you interested?”


    12:04 Thu, 28 AugAL


    Unexpectedly, Laura answered, “No.”


    Tyler and everybody else were bbergasted while Joshua nearly burst outughing.
