My Wife is a Hacker (Nicole Riddle and Jared) novel Chapter 1845

"His skills are indeed amazing, but we'll have to wait till the next round to find out about his abilities," Rowdon said.

For the sake of showmanship, the host continued, "Are you going to compete in the next round?"

The corner of Rowdon's mouth twitched. He naturally wanted to say no. He was, after all, a 'master' in computers. It would be ridiculous to lower himself to compete with a student. However, his eyes suddenly saw the judges off stage and the newly appointed governor. He could not resist smiling, thinking this was his chance to impress the governor.

"Alright, if he could defeat me, I'll let him advance directly!" Rowdon said with confidence. Nicole was rubbernecking beside Zeke. She could not help but laugh at him. "It looks like someone's picking a fight with you."

This was the disadvantage of showing off. The reason Nicole had still not started was that she did not want to attract attention. Winning by just the right amount was good enough.

Zeke snorted. "I'm not scared of him. I've been irritated with him for a long time. I'll teach him a lesson today."

As a webmaster, this person had not once taken a cut from the missions they both accepted without contributing anything. Zeke had disliked him for a long time. Nicole did not care either. "Well, this kind of person does deserve to be taught a lesson."

Nicole was supportive of Zeke's actions. However, she was still slowly typing in each character, though her speed of decoding was still rather quick.

Ryder was already sweating at this point. He had cracked up to 60 percent. He lifted his head and never expected to see Nicole with the same percentage. He thought, 'Sure enough, even Nicole could not handle Master Lynch.' With that thought in mind, Ryder became even more serious.

On the contrary, Gary still looked relaxed, as he was only hoping for a showdown between the two masters at the end. He did not care about other matters. He was fine to get top five this year.
