In this world, there were very few people who could surpass me in hacking, maybe none at all. But this opponent was clearly not to be underestimated.
I snapped back to reality and gave clear instructions. “No matter who we’re dealing with, we have to stay on high alert. Theo, get a team together to upgrade our defense systems. Add three more firewalls at every network entry point, and set up a tracking program. The next time they come back, we must trace their IP address and figure out who they really are.”
“Got it, I’ll get right on it!” Theo nodded and rushed off to organize the team.
I sat back down at the computer and did a full sweep of our internal systems.
Not only did I patch the vulnerabilities from the last attack, I went through the code line by line, hoping to find any trace left behind.
But after a full inspection, the system was as clean as if nothing had ever happened.
Clearly, the attacker had come prepared. They had serious skills and were just as good at covering their tracks.
My fingers tapped lightly on the table as my sense of caution deepened-Mephisto’s ally was definitely not ordinary.
I worked straight through until afternoon before all the security upgrades and repairs were finished.
Rubbing my sore shoulders, I finally left Skyspire Tower.
I took the elevator down to the lobby, but the moment I stepped out, I froze at the sight before me.
There was a huge crowd gathered at the entrance, the noise sounding just like a fan event.
I wanted to avoid the crowd, but stopped when I caught a glimpse of one of the glowing signs.
It was written in bright pink letters-Wisteria.
That name was like a key, instantly unlocking a flood of memories I’d worked hard to forget.
We lived in the same country, but I’d always avoided any news about her. I never expected to run into her here of all places.

“Wisteria! Wisteria! Wisteria!” The fans’ chants shook the air.

The crowd stirred, and Wisteria appeared on a temporary stage with several bodyguards by her side.
She wore a dazzling white dress and held a microphone, waving at the crowd with a bright smile. “Hello, everyone, I’m Wisteria. It’s great to see you all here!”
I stood at the edge of the crowd, quietly watching her shine onstage.
Under the spotlights, her makeup was flawless, her presence elegant-she was nothing like the little girl who used to follow me around.
I knew Wisteria had become a top singer, with hit albums and major music awards. She was a
star now.
But none of that had anything to do with me. I looked away, turning to leave.
“Amanda!”
A familiar voice called out. Suddenly, someone grabbed my wrist. I frowned and turned to see Seven, his face full of surprise.
“What are you doing here?” He was still holding my wrist, and there was a subtle urgency in his tone.
I tugged my hand away and said coldly, “Do I need to report to you where I go?”
Seven realized he was being out of line and let go, looking awkward. “That’s not what I meant. I just… I’m surprised you came to see Wisteria’s fan meet.”
My face stayed blank. Even at the mention of someone I used to know so well, my voice didn’t waver. “You’re overthinking it. I was just passing by. I have zero interest in her.”
Seven clearly didn’t believe me. He looked at me with the same stubbornness as always. “It’s fine. Wisteria really wants to see you. She’s wanted to talk to you about what happened all those years ago. Why not let me set up a meeting?”
I gave him a half-smile. “You really think there’s any point in meeting now?”
Seven hesitated, then blurted out, “Of course there is! We’re old friends… Can’t we at least catch up?”
He must have thought I was still holding a grudge about the past, but some things, once broken, could never be fixed.
I didn’t reply. Onstage, the familiar intro music started playing. Wisteria’s voice filled the air,
