Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 555

"It's not mockery, it's a fact. We're genuinely impressed."

Dominic said.

"Alright, I cleaned up the mess here. You two handle Lawrence Lance in Aethelgard."

Mira paused. "And if Roxanne follows him there, deal with her too."

She delegated the tasks effortlessly.

"Done. We'll crush them together when you get here."

Owen agreed.

"When are you going to finally take down the Lance Group? I'll gladly lend a hand."

Mira countered, raising an eyebrow. "It's your family and your enemies. Are you really expecting me to clean up your mess?" She wasn't falling into his trap.

"Isn't Lawrence your enemy too?"

Owen tried to deflect.

"Have you no shame? You're a grown man, and her senior at that! Expecting a young girl to clean up your family drama?"

Dominic interjected, unable to stand it anymore.

"What can I say? She's wildly capable."

"Just because she's capable doesn't mean you get to be a coward.

Honestly, she built a massive empire in under a year. And she obliterated two industry titans in a month.

It's unprecedented.

And you?

You've been dragging your feet with the Lance Group for years. It's embarrassing."

Dominic lectured his best friend.

Jokes aside, Mira knew Owen wasn't incompetent.

What's the bad news?"

Mira asked eagerly.

"The Javenaire Federation's mobile operating systems, Android and iOS, are going to invade the domestic market within a month.

While Aegis OS is progressing well, an operating system of this scale isn't something we can finish overnight."

Both of them had anticipated the foreign tech invasion.

But facing reality still left a bitter taste in their mouths. The sense of impending crisis was suffocating.

Fortunately, their proprietary OS development was already underway.

In her past life, the push for a domestic OS didn't start for another three years.

It was only in 2012 that Vanguard Systems had the foresight to realize the danger of relying entirely on foreign tech.

They poured billions into Project Aegis to prepare for the inevitable tech war.
