Not twins novel (Natasha and Kenneth) novel Chapter 947

Chapter 947 Launching An Attack

It was one in the morning.

Anthony started by launching an attack on Vermillion Base's network with members from the dark web.

Sitting in front of the computer, Anthony made the first move, with Cosmos sitting next to him, wearing a serious expression.

This cyberattack was bound to become a landmark event, but the outcome was still uncertain.

It would be fine if they won, but if they ended up losing, the whole thing would become a joke.

What the members of the dark web found even more unacceptable was the fact that they were being led by a child. To them, it was simply inconceivable.

However, they had no choice but to obey their higher-ups' orders.

It wasn't until they saw Anthony's skills that they truly understood looks could indeed be deceiving.

In a matter of minutes, Anthony skillfully breached the opponent's network, identifying a vulnerability that could be exploited, thereby paving the way for their potential attack.

Cosmos observed from the sidelines, initially expecting Anthony to require more time. However, his eyes widened in astonishment as he beheld the contents displayed on the screen.

“You've found it already?” Cosmos couldn't help asking.

His fingers still flying across the keyboard, Anthony stared intently at the screen and said, “Cut the cr*p and hurry! They'll discover us soon!”

Hearing that, Cosmos said to his buddies, “Let's get started!”

At a single command, everyone launched into a fierce attack simultaneously.

However, the opposing party quickly noticed the mass attack, and their defense system began to initiate automatic protection.

Though Cosmos and other members of the dark web were on the offensive, due to Vermillion Base's defense system, they still had to exert considerable effort. Cosmos frowned. “I originally thought that Vermillion Base would be easy to defeat, but I didn't expect their system to be quite capable!”

Anthony murmured, “Don't forget that Vermillion Base was among the first organizations to employ hackers. Even though they've fallen on hard times these years, they surely have their own hacker team. They won't be as easy to defeat as we imagine!”

“Can such a poor organization even afford a hacker team?” he asked.

“Perhaps they are poor because they hired hackers,” Anthony retorted.

Cosmos paused for a moment and nodded in agreement. “That makes sense...”

Suddenly, Anthony warned, “Watch out!”

Cosmos focused his gaze on the screen and dodged the attack following Anthony's warning.

Frowning, he stared at the screen. “Someone's starting a counterattack!”

Anthony's expression was grave. “Yeah, and they're an expert!”

Cosmos immediately perked up, straightening his posture. “It's been a while since I've had a good fight with someone. Now that the fight's here, let's see who's more formidable!” With that, Cosmos unleashed a powerful and aggressive assault.

Anthony continued typing away on the keyboard. His mission wasn't to engage in combat with this mysterious opponent, but to paralyze the entire network of Vermillion Base and furthermore, to sabotage all their operations.

However, Anthony didn't stop the person who was rallying with Cosmos. Having Cosmos distracting the person made it easier for him to carry out his operations.

“Everyone else, follow my lead and keep attacking!” Anthony commanded.

Under Anthony's guidance, they joined forces and launched an all-out attack.

Cosmos squared off with the other party for a while before frowning. “This guy is impressive. He's got some skills!”

Sparing a glance in Cosmos' direction, Anthony, who was still busy doing his job, said, “Cosmos, you're no match for him. Don't try to take him head-on. Just keep him busy and buy me some time!”

Cosmos seemed somewhat displeased. “How do you know I'm not his match?”

“Isn't it obvious enough?”

“But...”

“Can you please prioritize the bigger picture?” asked Anthony, turning to look at him.

Cosmos paused for a moment, taken aback by the boy's earnest and imploring gaze. Why does it feel like I'm not even as mature as a child?

He replied, “I was just asking. Of course, I'll consider the bigger picture.”

“Thank you!” Anthony said stiffly before averting his gaze and continuing his attack.

Cosmos wondered why Anthony reacted this way, but now was clearly not the time for questions. He looked back at his screen and began keeping the other party busy, stalling time while Anthony and the others continued attacking.

As the battle progressed, Cosmos' opponent suddenly disappeared. He was briefly stunned, and his professional intuition told him that something was definitely amiss.

Turning his gaze to Anthony, he said, “That guy suddenly disappeared. He must have realized that I was buying time. Be careful. He might be coming for you!”

However, no sooner had his words faded than Anthony, who was looking at the screen, said, “He's already here!”

Cosmos directed his gaze toward Anthony's screen, and indeed, that guy had switched his target to Anthony.

“Impressive. He knows who's the boss!” said Cosmos, impressed.

Anthony's expression wos grove. “Yeoh, ond they're on expert!”

Cosmos immediotely perked up, stroightening his posture. “It's been o while since I've hod o good fight with someone. Now thot the fight's here, let's see who's more formidoble!” With thot, Cosmos unleoshed o powerful ond oggressive ossoult.

Anthony continued typing owoy on the keyboord. His mission wosn't to engoge in combot with this mysterious opponent, but to porolyze the entire network of Vermillion Bose ond furthermore, to sobotoge oll their operotions.
