Ch. 1931..1935: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1931-1935

Chapter 1931

Max was trying to tell that it would be almost impossible for him to find Nicole even if he went there.

"I'm going there, no matter what!"

Jared needed to see her body even if she was dead. He could not just give up on her like that!

His grandfather patted the back of his hand sadly. "I know this is difficult for you to accept, but it is the reality. Zane has consulted with the experts, and Nicole... may have already died, and her body was probably washed away by the water..."

They initially thought that Jared would be able to recall some of his memories, but their hope gradually fell apart as days passed...

"I don't care. I've got to go...." He refused to believe that Nicole would leave him.

Nicole had been such a tough person, and she could always find a solution to everything.

Jared thought to himself, 'This is impossible. We're going to get married...

'Yet she left me?'

Jared could not believe it.

Daniel realized that Jared was not able to recall anything as he looked at Gloria, who had been weak for a few days, and said, "Gloria, let's leave the rest to Jared... We should head back and give him some space."

Gloria was extremely reluctant, but she knew staying was not going to change anything.

So, she bit her lip and said to Jared and Mr. Johnston Sr., "Jared, Mr. Johnston Sr., Nicole is now in your hands..."

Even though they knew that the chances of finding her were slim, they still held onto a glimmer of hope.

"Sure." Mr. Johnston Sr. sighed as he did not have the heart to reject such a desperate favor from Gloria.

Then, Daniel left with Gloria.

Mr. Johnston Sr. frowned and looked at Jared. "How could you not tell me about this earlier? novelebook.com Why did you make such a risky move?"

Jared looked back at him. "I just wanted to give Nicole some reassurance, so that she could marry me without having to worry about anything..."

However, he would never have expected that very decision to cause him to lose Nicole forever.

Mr. Johnston Sr.'s eyes turned cold as he said flatly, "I've sent people to search for Nicole too, and I've talked to the Riddle family about it. We're looking for clues along the coast of Ramania, but we couldn't get anything so far."

Jared noticed that something was not right. "At least her body isn't found yet."

To some extent, that was considered good news to him.

"Yeah..." Mr. Johnston Sr. heaved a long sigh before he continued talking to Jared.

However, he knew that it was impossible to change Jared's mind, so he agreed with him to go to Ramania.

Jared boarded the plane. He had high hopes that he would see Nicole again.

However, he was not expecting that the search would take him five years.

Five years later...

A graceful and imposing woman got out of the plane with an air of arrogance at the airport of San Joto.

She was approached by a man as soon as she stepped outside.

"Miss Niki!"

Niki looked over and saw the man who would follow her every time she went aboard, novelebook.comIan Neal.

Niki was not expecting that Leo would send him to pick her up at all.

"Miss Niki, the car's over there."

Niki nodded and went into the car with Ian.

Ian started the car and reported to Niki, "I've located where the little man is. He's here for a hacking contest, but his entry was rejected because he's too young. He's at Lance Hotel now."

"How dare this little brat sneak out behind my back! I'm going to teach him a lesson when I see him later."

Chapter 1932

Niki had no idea what sin she committed that led to her having such a wicked child.

Her son actually tricked a newly hired nanny to bring him here.

Leo told her that she had enemies here and that she should not step onto the land of Hustuaburg without any specific reason.

However, she had to come here for that little brat because she knew very well that only she would be able to take him away. She had no other choice.

"We only have two hours to get him out of here."

"Yes, Miss Niki." Ian nodded seriously.

Very soon, they arrived at Lance Hotel.

Ian looked at the GPS tracker on his phone and led Niki to a room.

Then, Ian knocked on the door. However, there was no sound at all inside.

"Nana." He called out to the nanny.

But there was no one in the room. Ian noticed that something was wrong, so he immediately called the front desk.

However, Niki already knew what was happening at that time.

"Save it. I'm sure that the little brat found out about the GPS and left his phone here."

Then, she turned on her electronic watch.

Nike was not surprised that he did that. He was her son, after all.

And at that time, Niki had already located where the nanny's phone was.

"Where's this place?" Niki zoomed into the map and showed it to Ian.

Ian was stunned.

"This is the contest venue." Ian could not figure out why Niki's son would still be there after his entry was denied!

Niki's gaze darkened. "He would definitely watch the contest even if he couldn't participate in it! novelebook.comDid you think that he'd just wait here?"

It was all her fault for hacking every day during her pregnancy. She was the reason her son was so talented and could start coding at just the age of two. Also, her son had made exceptional progress in the past two years which made him known among the Hunters. His biggest dream at that time was to squeeze himself into the top ten on the leaderboard so that he could catch up to Niki who was ranked sixth.

Niki was surprised that her son would utilize his knowledge to use it against her!

It was not easy, being a mother!

"Let's get going now." Half an hour had passed, and she needed to leave this land within two hours.

"Sure." Ian nodded and quickly took Niki to the contest venue.

There were many types of hacking contests, but the most prestigious one would always be held in San Joto, Hustuaburg.

Rumor had it that many remarkable hackers appeared in this hacking contest here. It was even said that two hackers who ranked first and second on the leaderboard once battled each other here five

years ago...

Unfortunately... she had lost all memories from five years ago. She had never been to or witnessed such a grand event, but she used to imagine taking part in this contest throughout the five years.

However, she was ambushed right on the first year she came to participate, and lucky enough, Leo's men made it here just in time to save her.

She only found out that she had a lot of enemies in Hustuaburg, so she never set foot in this land ever since and had been living on an island near the border of Ramania.

She would never have returned here if it was not to bring the little brat back.

She would never have... witnessed such a grand event too!

She was somewhat stunned when she looked at the contest venue that could fit several thousand in the audience.novelebook.com 'The economic capability of Hustuaburg is impressive...

'To be organizing a hacking contest on this scale!'

Niki put on a pair of sunglasses and a jacket before entering the venue in a low-key manner.

She could not help but be amazed by the magnificent scene before her eyes. For some reason, she felt like staying a little longer.

Ian looked at Niki and said, "Miss Niki, wait for me here. I'll go look for the little man."

Chapter 1933

"Oh... Alright then," Niki responded.

Niki initially wanted to find her son, but she found it difficult to move away from the exciting duel in the center of the arena. 'Is it déjà vu? Why is this scene so familiar?' she wondered.

Niki could not help but stand still, somewhat dazed, but with a sense of familiarity. Afraid of blocking others' view, she found a place and gradually sat down.

In the middle of the arena, it seemed that they had reached the final stage of the competition. People were discussing the competition.novelebook.com "Preston seems powerful. He's ranked tenth on The Hunter's leaderboard now."

"It's no use. Zeke is in first place. The last time he lost was five years ago, and to the previous first place, Lucifer."

Unexplainably, the name Lucifer struck a chord in Niki's heart. This name flashed a scene of memories in her mind for a fleeting moment.

Niki felt short of breath and turned to look at the people on stage. The big screen zoomed in on the face of the two duelists. Niki felt that these two faces seemed all too familiar.

'What's going on?' Just as she was lost in thought, a little guy suddenly clung to her leg.

"Mommy! You're here to watch the competition too?!" Nolan pouted cutely while clinging to her leg mischievously.

Niki's attention instantly shifted to Nolan, clearing all her discomfort. She turned a blind eye to Nolan wooing and flicked his forehead. "You dare smile!"

With a thud, Nolan felt a bump on his head. "Ouch! Mommy, that hurts!" Nolan pouted his cute mouth, pretending to be upset.

Most people would be reluctant to continue hitting such a cute child. However, Niki knew his appearance did not match his mischievous nature. Even if he was adorable on the outside, he was a devilish kid on the inside.

"Cut that out! You dare take Nana away and take her everywhere with you?! It's dangerous outside!"

Nolan could not help but pout. "I have Mommy and stepdaddy. Even if I get in danger, I know you'll come and save me!"

Niki's expression turned melancholy as she squatted down and whispered to him, "Nolan, we're already causing a lot of trouble for your stepdad. You can't be willful and make him so worried about you."

Nolan widened his innocent, big eyes. Now that his mother has found him, he would only get punished if he talked back. So, he nodded. "Alright, I get it. I only wanted to compete in this competition."

"You're still young. You'll have plenty of chances in the future," Niki said. Her manner relaxed slightly. After being at the arena personally, she realized that Nolan was not the only one longing for this competition.

"I'm sorry, Mommy. I was wrong. But since I'm already here, can I finish watching the rest of the competition? This is the finals,"novelebook.com Nolan begged with a pitiful act.

Niki looked at him with a face of helplessness. Checking the time, she noticed they still had an hour, while the competition was going to finish in half an hour. So, she might as well stay and watch.

"Alright, just half an hour. After that, we have to leave. Your sister is still waiting for us at home." Niki agreed to his request. Despite feeling bad about leaving her daughter alone for the previous two days, she was happy to fulfill her son's request this time.

Nolan quickly jumped for joy and exclaimed, "Yay! Thank you, Mommy!"

 

Chapter 1934

At this moment, Ian hesitatingly said, "Ms. Niki. Mr. Leo has learned that you're in Hustuaburg and told us to leave when we find Nolan."

"Just half an hour more. Let him finish watching the competition. He might not have a chance to come to Hustuaburg anymore," Niki said.

Ian could not bear to refuse her request and held back his concerns. "Okay, I shall wait for you at the side." With that, he went to the back, allowing Niki to resume watching the match with Nolan.

At this moment, the competition on stage had entered a stalemate. Niki observed the moves of the first- ranked player and mentally simulated how she would approach the opponent.

Nolan eagerly asked, "Mommy, are these two really the top ten masters on the leaderboard? Why are their skills so mediocre?"

Two audience members in the front were instantly agitated upon hearing Nolan's comment. "What do you know, kid? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know what's happening."

"I know, right? These two are the best of the best. Their skills are incredible!"

Aggrieved by their reproach, Nolan retorted, "You call this incredible? My mom is a million times better than them!"

In Nolan's heart, he felt that he did not even need to mention his mother. He believed that even he could easily deal with them, without taking so long.

"Whose spoiled brat are you? Where's your mother?"

"Is it the one beside him?"

The two audiences looked at Niki, a young woman in her twenties wearing a coat and sunglasses. She did not look like a top hacker at all.

Niki did not expect Nolan, who said he just wanted to watch the game, would piss people off with just a few words. novelebook.comShe subconsciously wanted to say something, but Nolan turned more heated.

"That's right! She's my mom! My mom's in sixth place on the leaderboard!" Nolan cried out.

The people surrounding them were stunned by his words.

"She's sixth place on the leaderboard?"

"Is there another master here?"

"Is it really true? Then why didn't she compete in the competition?"

Many people were in high spirits, hearing that the sixth place on the leaderboard was present. Everyone wanted to witness the showdown between the gods of hacking.

As if sensing the audience's commotion, the camera unexpectedly turned toward Niki and Nolan.

"There seems to be a commotion in the audience section over there! I hear that another god has come in person!" the host announced aloud, without minding making things worse.

All attention was focused on the audience section. Niki did not anticipate the camera's sudden focus on her and subconsciously tried to dodge it. However, the camera still captured her face on the big screen.

At that moment, Zeke and Preston on stage saw that zoomed-in face. Even if she was wearing sunglasses, no one could forget her, that face everyone yearned for.

"N-Nicole?!" Preston stood up abruptly, forgetting about the competition. Gary and Ryder, who were in the spectator stand, were also stunned. They were thinking whether it was a coincidence that someone looked so alike to Nicole's face.

At that very moment, Niki sensed something odd. Many people were watching her, and her face was exposed on the big screen.novelebook.com Fearing that her enemies would come knocking on her door, she knew she could no longer stay there.

"Nolan, let's go!" Without a second thought, Niki turned around and ran with her child. Ian sensed the urgency too and hurried to escort them out.

Preston was the first to jump off the stage and directly ran in Niki's direction without caring about the competition. Zeke also realized something was up and hurriedly followed.

Now, the organizers and hosts panicked. "Where are you going?! The competition is still going on!"

Chapter 1935

However, Preston and Zeke no longer paid attention to what the host and organizers were shouting about. That person had been missing for five years. Even if it was just a lookalike, they wanted to verify whether it was Nicole.

Unfortunately, Niki's car sped down the road when Preston got out. He could only stop to catch his breath. Zeke caught up and asked, "Did you get a better look? Was it Nicole?"

Preston replied, "Very similar! But she got into a car and left."

Preston had no idea where to find her. Zeke froze for a while, but then quickly thought of someone. "There's one person who could definitely find her!"

Preston knew who Zeke was referring to. He took out his phone and called that person. novelebook.comAfter twenty minutes, Niki arrived at the airport. She had been in a panic and scolding Nolan all along the journey.

Nolan felt sullen. "I-I just thought... that Mommy's really good."

Niki sighed. She noticed that she understood their strategies better than they did, and she knew how to block their attacks. She was very eager to try it out because she felt in charge. That was why, when Nolan began to argue with the other audience members, she did not respond in time.

"Let it go. It's in the past now. We're leaving soon."

Ian had bought their tickets in advance, so they could leave once they smoothly boarded. Niki waited at the terminal with Nolan while Ian helped them get their boarding passes. However, her mind was still thinking about the competition.

Niki felt a sense of familiarity with this competition and the people involved. Her memory did not fully recover after all these years. It was useless no matter how many ways she tried to regain it. But today,

for the first time in five years, familiar scenes flashed through her mind.

'Are these people my enemies? Maybe that's why I remember them,' Niki thought. She did not dare dwell on it, though inexplicably, she did not want to leave this place. She was afraid that her enemies might find her. It was alright if she was alone, but she had to consider the safety of her children.

"Ms. Niki, here's your boarding pass. Everything's settled. This way, please," Ian guided, already back to her side.

Nicole stopped pondering over the matter and took Nolan to the security checkpoint. She and Nolan did not have much luggage and soon passed through security. Her heart started beating faster as she got closer to the boarding gate. When they reached the queue at the boarding gate, the uneasy feeling in her intensified.

"Ms. Niki. It's our turn." Ian gestured as it was their turn.

Niki took Nolan's hand and approached the ticket inspector. The ticket inspector verified their identities and information. novelebook.comAll of a sudden, she felt a sharp gaze fixated on her. The feeling of being caught and stared at by a predator pierced through her heart.

Niki subconsciously turned her head, and her eyes met that piercing gaze. In that instant, Niki trembled as if her heart was stuck by something. She stood still, unable to move. She watched as that tall man rushed over with a dozen men in black toward her direction.

The tall man shouted, "Nicole!"
