100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 788 Need to Recharge.

Day Eighty-Two…

"The company is in chaos! Our whole system… is down."

Jane and Abigail cast a worried look at Nathan. With Axel's tone, they could already assume the gravity of the situation. "What do you mean?" Nathan asked. He wanted Axel to elaborate on his statement.

"Sir… SYP Twilight Corp is in uproar. The prices of our stocks in the market are declining this is due to our system error. We received several complaints all over the world about the malfunctions of our latest products. It's like… a virus spread through our systems, affecting our technologies."

SYP Twilight Corp has built its reputation on cutting-edge technologies, particularly in the fields of AI systems and robotics. This was the first time it happened. "This is serious. Someone has breached your operating system and unleashed a potent virus." Jane joined the conversation.

"Nate, you need to address this immediately. Your company is facing a crisis right now. I'll ask Black Rose to help you." Jane, recognizing the urgency, offered to enlist the help of Black Rose, a trusted ally, to assist in resolving the issue while she stayed with Abigail's side. She couldn't leave her sister for now.

Nathan nodded. He had no choice but to leave. His expression turned ashen as he left the hospital together with Axel.

Despite the setbacks plaguing him personally and professionally, Nathan maintained a steely resolve. "They've caught us off guard," he remarked. "I was preoccupied with Abigail's case. I didn't pay attention to our company. It's my fault." Nathan mumbled.

Nathan was experiencing one problem after another. Old Man Xu was still hospitalized. Dave and Abigail had been attacked. And now, his company was facing a crisis.

"I have to commend them… They know when to attack me…" Nathan smirked, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

Turning to his trusted associate, Axel, Nathan issued firm instructions. "Gather the team. We're restoring our system, and we're doing it now. No one sleeps until this is resolved."

Axel could only smile and scratch his face. "Yes, sir. The team is waiting for you."

Twenty minutes later…

In the programming workspace, tension hung heavy in the air as the team of developers and engineers worked tirelessly to undo the damage. Nathan wasted no time in getting to the heart of the matter, striding purposefully toward the central mother-computer.

"Give me the rundown," he commanded, his voice cutting through the focused buzz of activity in the room. It was time to assess the extent of the damage and devise a strategy for recovery.

"Sir, we received several reports that our robots malfunctioned. And it caused great damage. Some even hurt civilians, inflicting injuries on human beings. Several individuals began filing a complaint against us, asking for compensation."

"Our AI system also encounters errors due to the unknown virus. The worst case– our recent project has been stolen. All the data has been erased from our motherboard. A complete wipe-out!"

Nathan frowned when he heard that. "What time does this error start, including our system shut down?"

"The virus spread five hours ago, then the system shut down happened an hour ago."

"This is an inside job. Axel, don't let anyone leave the building. We need to capture the culprit! Check and review the CCTV footage," Nathan gave his command.

"Got it, Sir." Axel immediately left the room to do his task.

When Axel left, Nathan shifted his focus back to the central mother-computer. The screens flickered with lines of code. Engineers and the programming team concentrated with urgency.

Taking a deep breath, Nathan surveyed the scene before him. "Status report," he requested, his voice steady despite the mounting pressure.

The lead developer anxiously spoke up, a grim expression etched on his face. "Sir, the virus has infiltrated multiple layers of our core system."

He stepped forward, gesturing to the array of monitors displaying the data. "It's causing widespread disruptions and system shutdowns."

Nathan nodded, acknowledging the gravity of the situation. "Isolate the affected areas," he instructed, his mind already racing through potential solutions. "We need to contain the spread of the virus while we work on a fix."

With practiced efficiency, the team sprang into action. Engineers worked swiftly to identify compromised sectors of the network, severing connections to prevent further contamination. Meanwhile, developers began analyzing the virus's code, searching for vulnerabilities, and devising countermeasures.

As Nathan observed the coordinated effort unfolding around him, a sense of determination fueled his resolve. "We're not giving up," he declared, his voice ringing with conviction. "We'll restore our system, stronger than before."

It did not take long before Axel returned, escorting Cherry, aka Black Rose.

"Nathan, Jane told me about the issues. I'm here to help." Nathan gave her a grateful look. "You can assist the programmers to defeat the virus. I'm counting on you… Cherry."

Cherry nodded, stretching her arms before joining the programmers. No one knew that Cherry was the famous Black Rose. At first, they doubted her capability. But the moment she began decoding, the programmers couldn't help but be amazed by her ability.

"Damn, she's fast. Who is she?"

"She's a monster."

Cherry could only smile inwardly. 'They haven't seen my sis Phantomflake into action. She is better than me.'

Nathan focused on fixing the core system and restoring it. Hours passed in a blur of frenzied activity. Nathan remained at the forefront, offering guidance and support as the team worked tirelessly to combat the cyber threat. With each passing moment, progress was made, and the tide began to turn in their favor.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, a collective sigh of relief rippled through the room. "We've contained the virus," Cherry announced, a note of triumph in her voice.

Nathan allowed himself a brief moment of satisfaction before refocusing on the task at hand. "Let's get our system back online," he declared, his voice cutting through the air with authority.

They continued working when Jane finally showed up. She left Abigail in the care of Mr. Hiroshi and Kazuki. The two men finally arrived.

"Nate, is everything fine?" Jane approached him worriedly.

But instead of answering her, Nathan just grabbed Jane and embraced her.

Everyone was rendered speechless as they watched the unfolding scene. They didn't know who was the beautiful woman who just entered the room. To their surprise, their Boss suddenly hugged her.

"I'm feeling a bit worn out. I need to recharge. Hug me," Nathan mumbled.

Everyone: "..."

Meanwhile, in Country J…

Vincent had been receiving reports about the crisis of SYP Twilight Corp. The system shutdown was his idea. He hired a team of experts to create a virus to breach the SYP Twilight Corp Core System. "Sir, they managed to defeat our virus. What should we do now?" Vincent just gave them a satisfied smile. "Don't worry. Your job is done. I've already got what I want."

While the crisis was going on, Vincent started buying the stocks of SYP Twilight Corp. Because of the system errors, the investors sold off their shares in an attempt to minimize losses. Vincent's team grabbed that opportunity to buy those shares at a cheap price.

Now, if he would combine all the shares he acquired, he would become the largest shareholder of the SYP Twilight Corp. Nathan was still clueless about this.

"Your company will be mine now, Nathan Sparks. I won this time."
