Ch. 846..850: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 846-850
Chapter 846
"On your marks.Ready."
Bang! As soon as the starter pistol sounded, Gary launched first, and other classmates were on his heels.
As he approached the finish line, he sprang forward with a quick burst of strength and crossed the finish line.
Gary finished first at 11.22 seconds.
"Not bad.It's already an outstanding result."
Nicole was happy with Gary's performance.
"You all have got the explosive power there, but physical strength is still not up to par."
Nicole looked at her breathless classmates and thought of a solution.
"Prepare for the relay race."
Nicole had used half the time of a lesson to review all the items.
"The overall performance is not bad.I can tell that everyone has improved in terms of skills, but there is room for improvement in physical fitness.It's okay; we will focus on training for physical fitness for the next few days." Nicole pointed out their strengths and weaknesses and gave solutions.
Because Nicole's class had been doing well in the past two weeks, it had aroused jealousy from other classes.
While Nicole was speaking in front of her team, a group of students led by Norali walked toward them from alarm.
"We will also train in this sports field today.Please make way for us,"
Norali unceremoniously led her classmates to clash with students from Class B.But Nicole did not even bother to look at her.
"Alright, You may use it aller we are done."
"What did you say? We are also students of the school, and the sports field is for everyone.Why should we queue behind you?" Norah yelled at Nicole in a peeve.
"Anyone can use the sports field, but with the first-come first served rule."
"Guys, double the sandbags' weight, and get ready." Nicole continued to mentor Class B's students.
Seeing that Nicole did not take her seriously, Norah turned to look at her classmates behind her and said, "Hurry up and start training in the middle of the sports field."
Norah was thinking of hogging the sports field while Class B's students went to get the sandbags.
Just as Class A's students were about to go, Nicole shot her dagger like eyes at them.They were all startled, looking at each other, and no one dared to take a step forward.
"What are you all afraid of? It's not like she will eat you." Norah scolded her classmates.
"Nicole, what are you doing? Are you going to hit them?" Norah glared at her.
Nicole said nothing but stood there with an intimidating look on her face.
Norah was unwilling to back down after Nicole stole all the limelight.She reached out to push Nicole, trying to shove her away while she stood up there.But Nicole dodged her hand in a flash.
Norah missed.She lost her balance and fell straight into the sand pit.
Norah cried out in pain, but everyone looked at her with ridicule, and no one offered to help her up.She tremblingly got up from the sand pit with sand in her hair and glared at everyone.
"I'm helping you get a training ground, yet you all laugh at me along with them.Don't you all feel ashamed?"
Norah cried angrily, pushed her classmates away, and left the scene in a whirlwind.After Norah left, Nicole glanced at Class A's students.
"What are you all still doing here?"
Class A's students immediately left with tails between their legs.
When other students returned with sandbags, Nicole continued to train with them.
The Royal Creek Institute has several sports fields, and the one where Nicole and her classmates were having training sessions was one of them.It was apparent that Norah was just picking a fight this time.
Meanwhile, Mr.Ellison was seeing the CEO of Aegis Corporation out.As they passed by the training grounds where Nicole was, he called out to her.
Nicole looked back.She walked over when she saw it was Mr.Ellison.
Chapter 847
"Mr.Ellison, what did you just call her?"
The CEO of Aegis Corporation looked at Nicole in amazement.
"She is Nicole, an outstanding student at our school." Mr.Ellison smiled proudly when he talked about Nicole.
"Nicole …"
The CEO of Aegis Corporation looked at her thoughtfully.
"Are you looking for me, Mr.Ellison?" Nicole stepped closer to say hello.
"How is the training of your class going on?" Mr.Ellison asked out of concern.
"Not bad. They have made significant improvements in every aspect."
"Great job. Keep up the good work."
"Thank you. It’s my job."
Mr.Ellison nodded and turned sideways to look at Mr.Harmon.
"Nicole, this is Mr.Scott Harmon, CEO of Aegis Corporation."
Upon hearing the company name, Nicole’s heart skipped a beat, and she said politely, "Hello, Mr.Harmon."
"I didn’t know that you were Nicole.I have been looking for you." Mr.Harmon was friendly.But his response shocked Mr.Ellison, as he had never heard Mr.Harmon say he was looking for Nicole.
Nicole frowned and exchanged a glance with Mr.Ellison.
"You are looking for me, Mr.Harmon?"
"That’s right.I was impressed when I heard earlier that you stood your ground to save the life of an elderly in your own way in the emergency room, despite the opposition of everyone."
Mr.Harmon looked at Nicole with admiration.
"I didn’t expect Mr.Harmon to even know such a trivial thing.It was an absolute emergency, and I couldn’t bring myself to see the patient die."
Nicole was surprised by how concerned this CEO of a multinational company was about the everyday news of a hospital.
"To be honest with you, Miss Riddle, the elderly patient whom you saved is my father.I’m grateful that you stood your ground that day, or else my father would not have lived to this day.Words cannot express my gratitude ; if you are free, I would like to treat you to a meal, and I can formally convey my heartfelt appreciation for what you’ve done."
Mr.Harmon looked at Nicole with a sincere expression.
"Thank you for your cordial invitation, Mr.Harmon.But I’m afraid I can’t find the time yet, as the school’s sports day is just around the corner, and everyone is making full use of the last remaining time to practice.So I can’t be absent just like that.I hope you understand."
Nicole did hope to talk to Mr.Harmon of Aegis Corporation more, but she had just told her classmates that she would train them to improve their physical fitness-she could not leave halfway.So Nicole could only politely tell him about her predicament.
"It is okay.You shouldn’t leave them behind.We can make an appointment for another day.I’m seeing you as a friend now, Miss Riddle.So if you need any help in the future , just let me know, and I will never say no.This is my business card."
After expressing his gratitude and seeing that Nicole was busy, Mr.Harmon could only bow slightly as a sign of respect, say his goodbye and leave.
"Mr.Ellison , I’ll see you again next time."
Mr.Harmon shook Mr.Ellison’s hand before he spun around and walked toward his car.After Mr.Harmon left in his car, Mr.Ellison turned to look at Nicole.
"Why didn’t I know you saved someone in the hospital and that someone was Mr.Harmon’s father?"
"It’s not a big deal.I have almost forgotten about it," Nicole said.
"If there is nothing else, I will go to training."
"Okay."
When Nicole returned, she took her classmates to perform some special physical training, which was of medium difficulty in the intensive training program she had previously used on the newcomers in the organization.
Another day had passed, and Zeke finally got news for Nicole.
[See you at the café.] Nicole rushed to the café as soon as she got the message.
Chapter 848
Nicole was still sitting at the usual spot, and Claus brought her a cup of coffee she usually ordered.
"I haven’t seen you in days, Miss Riddle.How are you?"
"I’m doing great.Is Jared still busy?"
"Yeah, Mr.Johnston has been busy with the Turmann family.Please don’t get mad at him if you feel slighted.He doesn’t mean it."
Claus put in a good word for Jared.
"No, I won’t.Please get me a quiet private lounge in a minute." Suddenly, someone familiar walked in.
"Zeke, over here." Nicole beckoned to him.
"Nicole, isn’t there a private lounge here?"
Zeke walked over to Nicole and glanced at the people coming in and out.Nicole got the hint.
"Come with me."
Upstairs in the private lounge , each of them stared at a computer.
"Zeke, what happened to your decryptor?" Nicole asked worriedly.
"I have made improvements on it.You may try it."
Zeke was confident in his skills.
Nicole was confident that she could beat those elite hackers with Zeke’s help this time.She told Zeke about her experience with the last attack, and the two discussed tactics together.
"Everything is set to go.Let’s do it."
Nicole launched the intrusion program, ready to breach The Hunters’ database.Her constant attacks created chaos and kept the other side busy while Zeke decrypted the layers of the database’s firewall.
Soon, they penetrated the first layer of the firewall and could clearly feel the other side’s anti intrusion system was resisting and fixing the breach.
It took Nicole some effort to paralyze The Hunters ‘anti – intrusion system, and Zeke took this opportunity to speed up the decryption, his fingers flying over the keyboard, his eyes fixating on the computer screen.
"That’s not good; someone is restoring the firewall."
Nicole tensed up.
"Give me a little more time.I’m about to decrypt it."
Zeke tapped the keyboard even more rapidly, with lines after lines of code appearing on the screen, beads of sweat covering his forehead.Nicole upped the attack intensity, slowing down the restoration on the other side.
"I got it.Go find what you want-quick!" Zeke said hurriedly.
Nicole unleashed an automatic attack and carefully searched for White’s personal information.
The keyboard continued to crackle, and the messages flashed across the screen.
At this moment, the firewall of The Hunters system had been upgraded by the opponent, and its attack resistance ability was now several times stronger than before, and those vulnerabilities had also been patched.
Zeke anxiously operated his newly developed attack program, hoping to buy Nicole some more time.
Afraid of missing any important piece of information, Nicole stared intently at the screen.
Suddenly, a long awaited message appeared in front of her eyes.She glanced at it and immediately copied it to her own storage.
There was still a minute to go; Nicole’s heart pounded to the ticking of the second hand on the clock as the progress bar had not reached 100% completion yet.
Ten seconds left.
"Hurry up."
Nicole clenched her fists anxiously.
Beep!
[Export is complete.]
At the same time, the vulnerabilities of The Hunters site were patched, and the anti – intrusion system formed a new defense mechanism.Its firewall capability doubled.
Looking at the flash drive in her hand, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.Zeke slumped back in his chair and looked at Nicole.
"Did you get it?"
Chapter 849
Nicole waved the flash drive in her hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Based on the information available on The Hunters, Nicole found White’s coordinates.She immediately contacted Carl, sent the coordinates , and told him what Rowan had told her earlier.
[This is White’s coordinates.Don’t return to the country yet.Go check up on this person.Be careful.] Nicole felt more at ease after solving the problems that had stressed her out over the past few days.She looked at Zeke and asked, "Can you walk?"
"You bet."
"Let’s go out and celebrate."
After parting with Zeke, Nicole returned to the Riddle Mansion.As she pushed the door open, she saw Sean and Steve sitting in the living room talking to Daniel.
They were all beaming at seeing Nicole return.
"Nicole, I have something to tell you," Daniel said.
"What are you all doing, Dad?" Nicole glanced around.
"The bidding documents are ready.Take a look."
Daniel handed her the documents.
"So fast?"
"Not at all; just that you were too busy all this while."
"By the way, did Harvey contact you regarding the Aegis Corporation project?" Daniel asked.
"I have been busy, and so I haven’t seen him. I will contact him afterward."
Nicole flipped through the bidding documents and found they had done a good job.
"Well done." Nicole looked at Sean and Steve.
"That’s our job.You may also hold a discussion with Harvey in our company’s office."
It was a better meeting venue where Sean could provide off-site assistance.
"Okay.Any update on the McCarthy family?"
Nicole wanted to know what was going on with her opponent.
"The McCarthy family has been looking for partners everywhere.They are not as good as the Ellison family, but there is strength in number; we must not underestimate them." Sean told Nicole about the intel he had found.
Nicole narrowed her eyes and then looked at Sean.
"It seems they are trying to find an edge in terms of size.Keep an eye on the McCarthy family.Inform me immediately if there is anything amiss."
Sean looked at Nicole’s powerful aura and felt that it differed from that of a businessperson; she was even more determined.He suddenly felt that she was more of a leader.
"Can I take these bidding documents back and analyze them?" Nicole looked at Sean.
"Sure.Contact me anytime if you have questions."
He was ready to do everything in his power to support Nicole.
The school’s sports day was held on schedule a few days later.
Because the event was sponsored , the sports day was grander compared to previous years.Even TV stations had come to the school to cover the event.
The sports field was bustling with activity, and everyone was making final preparations for the official opening of the sports day.
After Mr.Kennedy of Class A left, the new class teacher gave Norah the tough job of winning first place for the class.
Nicole stood in front of Class B and explained to everyone what were the precautions and arrangements of the competition they had to keep in mind while Ms.
Emerson was playing the cheerleader role, trying to motivate the participants.She looked at Nicole and already felt surefooted even before the game began.
"Drink some water, Nicole."
Ms.Emerson took a bottle of water and handed it to Nicole.
"Thank you, Ms.Emerson."
Nicole took the water and looked at her.
"Is there anything you’d like to talk to everyone about?"
Ms.Emerson looked at Nicole and then said to everyone,"You guys have been training tirelessly just for today’s game.I hope you all enjoy the game and be at your best."
Class B’s students applauded in unison, but this aroused a sense of jealousy among the students from other classes.
"They are already so arrogant before the competition starts.We have got to teach them a lesson afterward."
Chapter 850
Nichole had heard provocations from other classes, but she ignored them completely, as she thought these kids did not deserve her attention.
The sports day officially began after the head teacher gave an opening speech , and the competition between the various grades started with men’s and women’s sprints.
The TV station’s cameras focused on the starting line.
Gary was representing Class B.He was the first to come to the starting line and warm up here.
The students off the field saw Gary as the first bastion of the opening game, and they all shouted his name.
This showed how popular he was in school.The contestants from other classes followed, but only the students of their respective classes cheered for them.The referee called out, "On your marks.Ready."
Bang! As the starter pistol fired, Gary launched out like an arrow, leading far ahead of the other contestants, and crossed the finish line in the blink of an eye.
The cameras were all focused on him.
The referee then announced, "Gary Finley from Class B of eleventh grade finished first at 11 seconds.Rory Antolovic from Class A of eleventh grade finished second at 13 seconds."
Norah was a little angry when her class did not finish first.
"Gary! Gary!"
The Class B students cheered as their class won the first game of the sports day.
Next came the women’s sprinters.
Before Nicole even went down the track, the cheers of her classmates were ringing through the arena.
Norah saw this and immediately trotted to the track.
Nicole glanced at her and went to the starting line as everyone watched.
"Your class’s winning of first place for the men’s sprint is just an accident.Watch how I beat you in the women’s sprint." Norah smiled evilly.
After everyone had done their warm-up, the referee called out, "On your marks.Ready."
Bang!
As soon as the starter pistol sounded , Nicole catapulted ahead.Before Norah knew it, Nicole had gone far ahead.
The next thing Norah saw was Nicole standing after the finish line.
Gary took the lead and shouted Nicole’s name, his voice ringing through the arena.
The referee looked at the timer in his hand and got the shock of his life.
"Nicole Riddle from Class B finished first at 9.12 seconds." Silence fell on the entire arena, and then an uproar came.
This was a record time since the establishment of the Royal Creek Institute.
"Nicole , you’re the best.You’re Wonder Woman." Jack acclaimed wittingly.
"Jack is right, but I think Nicole is even quicker than Wonder Woman. She is Superwoman."
It got contagious and other classmates started to call Nicole ‘Superwoman’.
Everyone cheered for Nicole, and no one cared how many seconds Norah, who came in second, took to cross the finish line.
Norah looked at Nicole from a distance and became even more indignant.
Led by Nicole, Class B mopped the floor in all sprints and had the highest morale of all classes.
Other classes looked at Class B with envy, all wishing they were also members of Class B.
