Bring Your A Game

Chapter 959

Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 959-Although Jamie was doing what he was doing for Narissa, there was no telling that Paul could even end up being her fiancé in the future, but of course, Jamie didn’t speak his mind about that. “Your sister and I are friends. She helped me in the past, so I’m returning the favor to her now.” Jamie used Alicia as an excuse to talk his way out.

“So, you’re into Alicia?” Paul instantly became wary. “Don’t tell me you’re just like Gale, who wants to use us to get rich and powerful.” Paul might have been an ignoramus, but he was still aware that the Heidelberg Family’s medical research team was a group of highly sought-after world-class experts. In fact, the patent for the newly developed medicine alone was enough to keep bringing a fortune to the Heidelberg Family for as long as they existed. Therefore, Paul wasn’t surprised that many men out there wanted to marry his sister, whom they thought was their ticket to possessing the Heidelberg Family’s fortune and living a comfortable life.

“Seriously? Is that how you treat someone who saved your life?” Jamie replied, speechless.

“That’s another story. You might have saved my life, but I will still stand in the way between you and my sister. Thus, you can forget about wooing her!” Paul was not going to let a man whom he barely knew to be his brother-in-law.

“Great.” Jamie was happy to hear that. “You’d better make sure you stop that from happening.” Upon finishing his sentence, he headed into the room where there was a small bed before he lay down to sleep.

“Hey, that’s my bed! Mind you, I’m still a patient!” Paul expressed his dissatisfaction. He wants to woo Alicia despite knowing I’m against it, yet he is messing with me like that?

“I’m just as weak as you are.” Jamie lay down in stillness. “I’m sure you won’t die now, but I will if I don’t get any more sleep, so have a heart, would you? Good night.” Jamie went out like a light after a long yawn.

Paul was left with his mouth agape after hearing Jamie’s response. Just as he was about to say something, he swallowed his words and kept his eyes on Jamie, who was sleeping like a log. At the same time, he began to speculate about Jamie’s actual identity, wondering who he really was.

If Jamie was just being himself the other day, that would mean he’s pretty good at playing computer games. For that, he may be an IT expert or something. However, if he is an IT expert, the most he makes in a year is probably just a few million; he’ll make more if he is a hacker, but that won’t be a job people should be proud of, so he is never going to be a perfect match for Alicia. The only good thing about this man is that he is as good-looking as my sister. Hmm, I should repay him with a sum of money for saving me when I get my company back rather than let him woo Alicia. My sister is out of his league.

At the thought of that, Paul let out a sigh, helplessly asking himself when he would be able to retrieve everything that was rightfully his, for even Jamie failed to topple Gale.

On the other hand, Elise was in the study, analyzing Jamie’s intel as she believed Gale must have hired a skilled hacker to work in BJ Biotech. Feeling the itch to test her skills, she took Irvin’s laptop and tried to hack the company’s intranet.

Before that, she took extra precautions by installing anti-tracking software that would alert her once someone started tracing her trails. Just like what Jamie told her earlier, everything went smoothly until the warning popped up in less than two minutes. The next second, Elise immediately stopped hacking and took advantage of the invader’s tracking virus to retaliate.

On the other hand, Gale was summoned to the IT manager’s office at BJ Biotech. When he got there, he was greeted by a biracial-looking man with a buzz cut. “Is it Jamie Keller? Is he back?” Gale was sure that Jamie would strike again.

The man, who was known as KO, shook his head in response. “Whoever is behind this came prepared. As such, I have yet to find out who is behind the monitor screen.”

“Is there anything wrong with the encrypted data?” Gale asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry about it. Those who can beat me are already dead, and I doubt they’ll rise from their graves to fight me again.” KO sounded rather confident. Over the years as an experienced hacker, he had met countless rivals, only to realize that most of them didn’t live up to their reputation.

The only person who had truly impressed him was Elise, for the program she wrote took him an immense amount of time and trouble before he was able to crack it. However, he didn’t get carried away after successfully cracking Elise’s code. After all, computer hacking was like playing chess to him; no matter the odds, anything could happen in the process and tip the scales either way.

Therefore, he believed one must be technically capable and quick on their foot to become the best hacker there was. Although KO had always wanted to compete with Elise to see who the better hacker between them was, his wish soon became his regret when he heard about Elise’s death seven years ago.

“Good job!” Gale patted his shoulder. “When this is over, I’ll reward you handsomely.”

KO turned his head around and set his cold gaze on Gale’s hand that was on his shoulder. Besides being a hacker, it turned out that the man was also a gambler who believed that a pat on the shoulder would bring him bad luck when he gambled.

Sensing something wrong, Gale quickly let go of KO’s shoulder and took his hand off him. It was then that KO slowly looked away and kept his eyes on the monitor. He wasn’t working for Gale because of the money, but rather, he was just making some extra cash for his retirement plan. Therefore, he had no reason to fear Gale. “Well, I’m confident in your ability to take care of whatever troubles might arise.

Keep your eyes open, okay? I have some other business to attend to.” Gale finished his words and walked away.

As soon as Gale was gone, KO’s computer was completely taken over by Elise’s hacking. Then, a few lines of green words popped up on the screen. It read, ‘Let’s find out who’s the better hacker. Are you game?’

Intrigued by the challenge, KO couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement. “Wow, it looks like I’ve underestimated you. I didn’t think you were able to trace it back to me.” Surprised that someone from a small-medium enterprise was able to break through his firewall, KO became tempted to accept the challenge. In that instant, he sat up straight and was ready for a battle of hacking. ‘Bring it on!’ he replied, rubbing his hands while excitedly waiting for what was going to unfold.

‘Let’s schedule a time,’ Elise responded calmly, thinking she should whet the hacker’s appetite instead of accepting his challenge too soon. Good stuff doesn’t come easy, which is why they can sell for a good price.

‘Let’s make it at 7.00AM tomorrow.’ KO kept his eyes on the screen, looking forward to a satisfying answer. Fine, one more night! That’s all the time you’re going to get. Nevertheless, the response that came up three seconds later immediately took the man aback.

‘It’s too early. I don’t think I can wake up by then.’

KO was so stunned to see the message from Elise that he nearly fell off the chair. What kind of lazy hacker are you? Time is money, don’t you understand that?

However, Elise wished she was able to wake up earlier, but why would she do so when her husband and son would handle everything for her? Furthermore, Alexander usually made breakfast around 9.00AM, which meant she would have to wait until then with an empty stomach.

Eager to accept Elise’s challenge, KO reluctantly agreed to her suggestion. ‘Fine, 11.00AM then.’

‘Okay’, Elise replied and went offline the next second. She then turned around and shouted at the door. “Irvin! Irvin! Come here.”

With Irvin and Alexander around, Elise was hoping that her son and husband would take care of all the house chores for her. Thus, she started acting more and more like a princess, summoning Alexander and Irvin whenever she needed them.

In less than a minute, Irvin glacially entered the room with his hands in his pockets, looking as if he was Alexander’s soul trapped in a child’s body. Thinking her son could have arrived a lot sooner, Elise reckoned Irvin was doing it intentionally just to make himself look cool. Nevertheless, she still went on and praised her son, saying, “Here you are, my handsome boy!”
