Dominic might not have the time. He's probably swamped," Owen said, clearly worried. Tech wasn't his strong suit.
"Don't worry, I've learned about ninety percent of Dominic's tricks. If I hit a wall, I'll just ask him for a quick pointer."
"Alright. Our firewall is solid, so you won't take too much damage. Just stop and ask Dominic if you get stuck."
Armed with Lucian's personal information, Mira stopped attacking Porter Entertainment's stock and went straight for Lucian's personal phone system.
His defenses were formidable, but Dominic had taught Mira exactly how to crack high-level security. Plus, since no one had ever breached his system, Lucian had grown arrogant and careless with his phone.
Back at the Porter offices, Lucian watched the stock chart climbing steadily. He swelled with pride.
"Lucian is amazing. Porter Entertainment can finally breathe again," one of the employees praised.
"Of course he is. He's the best of the best, the top guy in the Lance Family's cybersecurity division," another chimed in.
Even the usually arrogant Roxanne was laying the flattery on thick. She had never imagined someone could dominate a financial war without spending a dime.
"Lucian, if you get us through this, I'll give you fifteen million dollars," Roxanne promised.
"With you here, we're actually motivated to work!"
"Lucian is our anchor."
"That 'Lady Oracle' is nothing but a paper tiger compared to you."
If the old man really held it against him later, he would just say Lawrence didn't agree.
When the market closed for the day, Lucian looked at the screens, satisfied with his work.
The others felt like today was heaven.
Roxanne was in such a good mood she gave each employee twenty dollars for dinner, handing Lucian a crisp hundred-dollar bill. "Go treat yourselves tonight."
"Thank you, Ms. Porter."
Lucian walked out of the office and pulled out his phone to ask Zachary about good restaurants in Melvion City. But the screen was frozen. The system was completely scrambled. He stared at it in shock.
