Ch. 651..655: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 651-655
Chapter 651
Janus looked at their faces and added.
"What's scariest about Boss is his martial ability."
Rhein and Sliver watched on as Jared gently moved his wrist.
His long fingers seemingly possessed powers unimaginable as he twirled a dagger in them.
The dagger looked extremely thin and was just a tad bit longer than a normal one.He raised his hand a little and the dazzling dark purple crystal inlaid on the hilt radiated a cold yet alluring glint.He then sank it straight into the monster's body.
Rhein had just wanted to laugh that this was pointless and could not affect the monster at all.
Yet, reality soon turned to slap him in the face as he saw a deep gnash at the back of the knee where Jared had stabbed it, and it was unsteady like a person with a wounded leg! ‘How could that be?! Sliver also had a look of shock in his eyes.
He had seen that his men's weaponry could do nothing to the monster at all, and yet, Jared managed to wound the monster with just a dagger.
The monster seemingly sensed something as it let out an angry roar.
Immediately after, it stretched its hand out to grab Jared.
The latter pulled the dagger out and did not dodge the oncoming attack.
Many thought that Jared could not react in time and would soon be squashed by the raging monster.
Yet, Janus only stood there with an impassive face and did not move.
Simon spat.
"This is your idea of loyalty? To watch your boss die?"
Janus straight up ignored him as he only gave him a faint glance before turning to look at Jared.
"He's gonna die anyway.What's with the act?"
Simon let out an audible tch.
Many of Sliver's men thought that Jared was dead meat as they mockingly waited for the moment Jared was squashed.
If that was the case, they could use the moment when their enemy is leaderless to seize their weapons back.
Yet, Sliver could only frown as he looked at what was unfolding, seemingly still caught up in Janus' words.He watched Jared's almost unfathomable speed as he slowly said.
"With what you've said, he is so strong, but why did he allow himself to be targeted by us?"
Before their supposedly good ending would come, they saw the proud man had rushed forward and just deftly dodged the oncoming giant hand that was almost impossible to dodge with a back step.He then sank the blade onto the top of the hand and used its momentum to propel himself onto the machine as he darted towards its neck along the line of the monster's arm.His speed was simply just too fast that the monster was stunned for a good three seconds.
It was only then did it react in fury as it tried to frantically shake its head, trying to draw the bug on its back off.
Unfortunately for it, the man was not thrown off, and instead, one of its fingers was shorn off by the dagger Jared had plunged into its hand.
The monster let out a roar, and the damaged leg could no longer support its movements as its mechanical body collapsed half-kneeling onto the ground.
It then tried to use its mutilated fingers to try to grab Jared, who was still on its shoulders.
Chapter 652
Jared grabbed the monster's neck tightly with one hand and let out a smile after sensing its struggle.
"So it's here."
He put some strength into his leg and immediately leaped up.
Jared landed straight onto the monster's back.
The dagger in his hand gleamed in cold light as it fell and "decapitated" the monster.
Unlike humans, who will bleed, the monster's neck was full of dense nervous cables.
The fragile cables were hidden beneath its thick steel armor.
As its head armor and body armor were almost connected together, it was as if the designer had chosen this design to ensure the weakness was exposed last.
Everyone looked on in a daze as the massive monster used its mutilated fingers to grab the back of its neck as its mountain-like body shuddered and collapsed onto the ground.
As it had lost one of its legs, its rickety appearance was particularly terrifying.
Everyone else fled backward for fear of being crushed by it.
Amidst the sizzling sound of the electric current, the black-clad man stood steadily on the shoulder of the monster.He gently wiped the dagger in his hand, the dark purple gemstone letting out a bright gleam.
Yet, when in his hand, it paled compared to his radiance.It was as if shattered crystal fragments refracting all their brilliance onto a single point, causing it to be extremely awe- inspiring.
Powerful and fearless.
Everyone looked at Jared in a daze.He had put away the dagger and slid down the monster's arm, and the speed he came down with kicked up a not-so-gentle gust.His black shirt was blown up, yet his eyes were completely indifferent.He deftly landed on the ground as the monster collapsed behind him.It was dusk, and the man's face was bathed in crimson.
The moment he looked up, even the twilight did not seem all that eye- catching.
Jared casually walked to Janus' side, and as he looked at Sliver before him, he let out an icy smile.
"The Intercontinental Party should look properly on which side should they stand with."
For the interest of the party, it was either to fight him and the Turmann family until the end or to govern soberly and allow him to run his business empire.
Sliver was sufficiently agitated by this.His usually indifferent silver eyes were full of disbelief.He then quickly realized something and nodded solemnly.
This was the best way to resolve it without resorting to violence"
However, as he turned to look at the similarly shocked Rhein and Simon on the other side, a decisive look had already appeared in his eyes.
Jared looked at the latter's expression and saw that he had completely given in.
A look of faint disgust soon appeared in his eyes.
Yet, Sliver did not notice it.He had always been doing things according to his principles.
Since the man before him made him feel that he was the worthier choice, so he held his hand out and wanted to shake Jared's hand.
It was as if the conflict earlier was just an illusion.
Rhein, seemingly sensing something, looked at the scene before him in anger.
Sliver looked at Jared as he said as if nothing had happened.
"As the representative of the Intercontinental Party, although the results are quite belated, I hope we have a pleasant working relationship."
Jared only gave him a slothful look.
Since the problem was dealt with, he straight away walked out.
Janus and his men immediately followed after, leaving Sliver where he stood.
Seeing how unceremoniously he was ignored, the expression on his face stiffened, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.He quickly walked before Jared and coldly questioned him.
Chapter 653
"What is the meaning of this?"
Jared looked at Sliver and seemingly recalled something as he smiled, but just as quickly, he retracted the smile and coldly walked past the latter.
"My wife told me not to get involved with you."
He was quite the obedient one.
Sliver did not expect such an answer.He had subconsciously thought that Jared was just being perfunctory.He wanted to get up to chase after the latter, but two clamp-like hands grabbed him tightly, causing him to not be able to take a step further.
A menacing look appeared in Sliver's eyes as he looked at Janus.The anger in his eyes was palpable.
Janus was, however, unfazed.He gave him a polite smile, yet his hands did not stop moving as he dragged Sliver out of the way.He then patted his hands together as if he had touched something dirty.Then, as if he recalled something, he looked at Sliver and said slowly.
"You want to work with Mr.Jared now? That now depends on whether we want to or not."
Janus gave Sliver a thoughtful look.
After saying that, he then signaled his men to follow Jared out.
On his way out, he dragged the terrified Simon, who was kicking and screaming, out, leaving only Sliver and Rhein sitting in the garden.
Rhein looked at Sliver, who had always looked down on him, just sitting there on the grass, his head down, and did not speak for a good while.
No one could see his expression clearly.
When Jared got back, Nicole was explaining the blueprint to the members of the Turmann family, with many admiring boys and girls surrounding her.
Jared looked at the scene and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Nicole immediately sensed it and looked towards the door.
Their eyes met one another, and when Nicole saw him standing there looking cool, a smile appeared in her eyes.She gently motioned to pause the lecture before walking toward Jared.
Many of the branch family members looked enviously at the two; the boys were envious of Jared and the girl, Nicole.
From a certain level, the two of them were really a match for each other.
Nicole looked at Jared, her eyes gentle as she asked.
"How did it go?"
She knew that he must have gone to resolve the issue with the Thorne family and the Federals.She knew very well that after Simon stole her blueprint if they were to rush production day and night, this was about the time they would be able to produce a batch of defective Mobile Armor.
Jared looked at Nicole, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Everything went as planned."
Nicole nodded.
The two of them had already gone through all countermeasures, and everything had gone as they had imagined.
Janus looked at Nicole in surprise.
His eyes were filled with curiosity, and he was a person who could not hold his tongue, so he immediately asked, "You're the person who designed that monstrosity?"
Chapter 654
When Jared heard Janus’ question, he immediately frowned and turned around to give the latter an icy gaze, so much so that Janus felt a chill down his spine.
The latter then whispered.
"What's wrong?"
It was because he would always trigger his boss for no reason, and the latter would always look at him like this.
Seeing that gaze, he immediately understood he was about to go back to a god-forsaken mining zone to be a hardworking staffer again.He desperately wanted to remedy that.
'If I cannot stay by Boss' side, then staying by the lady boss' side is fine too!' Even with that caution, he still had questions in his heart.When Nicole heard the question, she frowned a little and then turned to Jared.
"What's that about?"
Jared looked at her cold eyes and helplessly stroked her cheek as Janus said, "Something probably had gone wrong during production.It was extremely violent and had literally torn the Thorne family apart.If it weren't for Boss, that monster probably would've leveled the whole of Laurendale."
Immediately after, he ignored Jared's icy gaze as he told her everything he saw.
When he got to the rather gory part, he self- censored in consideration of Nicole being a lady.
When Nicole heard what he said, she was slightly surprised.She had only left a series of false information on the most critical sections in the blueprint, and that would, at most, cause the Mobile Armor to fail to start.
There was no possibility of someone creating a berserk monster out of it.
‘Something must've gone wrong somewhere."
At this moment, Simon was brought in by Jared's men.
The latter was seriously traumatized, and when he saw Elijah standing in the middle of the crowd, he scampered over to his side.
"Brother, save me!"
Elijah looked at Simon at his feet.He had already heard the conversation between Nicole and Jared, and so he asked Simon with a sullen look.
"Do you know what happened with the monster that appeared in the Thorne family's place?"
When Simon was asked that, the scene of him nearly being squashed into paste appeared in his mind.His face turned pale as he said, "Brother, I was wrong.I shouldn't have handed our Mobile Armor blueprint to Rhein.It's al] my fault..."
A look of panic appeared in his eyes.
Hearing Simon confessing his own guilt.
Eber erupted in a fury.
Just as he wanted to yell something, he heard Simon spilling everything out.
"The reason I teamed up with Rhein is that I'm the ugliest in the family and the most with the least authority.I was just too angry...I wanted the master of the family to prove myself, and Rhein said he could help me.He told me that the Turmann family has lost the government's trust, and then he would connect me to the Intercontinental Party and then allow me to take over the role of the patriarch from the one that is distrusted..."
Simon was scared out of his wits and told them everything.
When Nicole heard it, she knew it went the way she had guessed.
The moment Simon spoke about that terrifying monster, his entire person shuddered.
Nicole was sure he was not lying, so she asked.
"Do you know who created that monster?"
Chapter 655
When Simon heard it, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.He lowered his head, seemingly trying to think, but in the end, he shook his head.
"I'm not sure."
He looked at Nicole.Her expression was calm and seemed trustworthy.
Seemingly looking like she was encouraging him to continue speaking, he finally plucked up the courage to continue.
"Rhein told me not to supervise the work.He went behind me to make a deal with the Federals.I suspect that the reason he kept me out of the process was to do something behind my back."
Nicole looked at Simon's expression and figured that he was not lying.
The latter was still in a state of surviving death, so his mental state was in tatters, and he should have no will to die.He had already lost all confidence in Rhein and the others, so the moment he saw Elijah, he spilled the beans on everything.
Nicole turned to look at Jared.
The two had an idea of what had happened at the same time.She gently tapped her index finger on the table, seemingly in thought.
Elijah, standing by the side, knew that she had already gotten what she wanted out of him, so he turned to Simon before him and sighed.
"Simon, it's too late for you to realize your faults now."
"You almost dragged the entire family into this quagmire for your own greed.Have you not considered that if Nicole had not come, and the other party got the traitor label to stick on us, how long can you be patriarch even if you manage to be one?"
Elijah's dark green eyes opened with a pained look within.
"The Turmann family can and will never forgive traitors.So, leave.”
"For him to need to deal with two siblings in one day, a pained look appeared in Elijah's eyes.However, he was the patriarch of a huge family, and if he could not be fair with his judgments, then what should he do if someone were to betray the family for their own gain in the future?! Nicole knew this very well as she looked coldly at Simon with nary any sympathy.
‘One reaps what one sows"
Moreover, Simon was not a good person even before his confession.
Simon could not accept this outcome.
When he heard Elijah's merciless words, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
Even Eber, who had always been nice to him, did not say anything this time.
Yeah, Eber is a stickler to rules.He doesn't dare do anything that goes against the family creed, but I just made a mistake.
Why must they hold onto this trivial matter and not give me a way out?! "W Thinking of this, Simon gave everyone a resentful look, especially Nicole.She was the one who had encouraged him to tell everything, yet when he spilled the beans, she refused to help him at all! He could now see that the person Elijah valued the most was not his own son but this Nicole, who had popped out of nowhere.
If she could speak up for him, even just asking for mercy, perhaps he might have a chance to stay in the family and continue to enjoy its wealth and power...
Simon looked at Nicole as he slowly spoke.His tone was, however, almost directive.
"Nicole, I've told you so much.Why you can't help me say a word or two to calm Elijah down and allow me to stay?"
Nicole had never heard such a plea before as she looked on impassively at Simon before saying, "I've not even settled the score of you sneaking into my room to steal the blueprint.I've only gotten you to admit what you did wrong so we can come up with a plan on how to salvage this mess.You think this is some sort of contribution?"
