Top Assassin with Superpowers Reborn novel Chapter 125

Jose's face was grim. Thanks to this scandal, the Miller Group had taken a hit and lost a ton of money.

Jose shot a cold glare at Michelle, the root cause of all the trouble, before responding, "Dad, I've already spoken to the CEOs of those software platforms. Told 'em to take down all the stuff about Michelle on their apps and cool down the hype first."

Gerald hesitated, looking uncertain. "Will they listen to us?"

Jose smirked confidently, a hint of disdain in his voice. "Don't worry, Dad. Those platforms don't dare to cross the Miller family!"

Jose glanced at Michelle beside him. "Open Twitter now. I bet all the stuff about you on there's been deleted by now."

"Really?" Michelle's face lit up. "I'll check right away!"

She hadn't dared to log into Twitter since the scandal blew up—every post was bashing her, and the comments were brutal!

"Thanks, Jose! You're the best!" Michelle said excitedly as she pulled out her phone.

"If you ever embarrass the family like this again, I won't help you out at all," Jose warned.

Michelle's praise made Jose puff out his chest proudly, a smug smile tugging at his lips.

But Michelle's smile didn't last long. When she saw that the Twitter trending list was still flooded with her dirty laundry, her smile vanished instantly.

She glared at Jose, clearly furious. "You said you'd fix this! Why's everything still up there? And the hype's getting even bigger!"

Jose's expression shifted. He frowned, completely confused. "That can't be! I definitely called the CEOs of those companies! They promised me they'd take down the trending topics!"

"Here, see for yourself!" Michelle slammed her phone down in front of Jose. "I thought you were so tough—turns out you're just all talk!"

"Shut up! This is all your fault!"

Michelle's condescending attitude ticked Jose off big time.

Michelle flinched under his cold stare. Remembering the slap he'd given her earlier, she didn't dare to mouth off anymore.

"Jose, you have to find another way to help Michelle! She's your sister!" Gerald urged.

"I'll call them again! Do they wanna die? Daring to ignore me like this!"

Jose's face turned pitch black. Those CEOs have the nerve to play me!

Jaw tight with fury, Jose grabbed his phone, hunted down the CEOs' contacts, and fired off a call to one of them.

No one answered!

Jose couldn't believe his eyes. The CEO of this platform actually dares to ignore my calls?

He made a few more calls—still no answer!

So even though they'd received Jose's order, they didn't dare to take down the trending topics randomly.

The Miller family was scary, no doubt—they had massive power!

But these were internet companies with user bases. Taking them down wouldn't be easy for the Miller family.

The Hacker Alliance, though? That was a different story!

The Hacker Alliance definitely had the power to take their platforms down overnight, driving them into bankruptcy.

If they hacked their systems and paralyzed their operations, their users would leave in no time. Bankruptcy would follow soon after.

*****

Back at the Miller Villa, Jose's phone rang with an unknown number. The voice on the other end was computer-synthesized.

"Jose Miller?" the voice asked. "We're from the Hacker Alliance."

Jose had the call on speakerphone. The second they heard the name Hacker Alliance, Michelle cut in before Jose could even get a word out.

She screamed, "Hacker Alliance! What did I ever do to you? Why are you smearing my name like this?"

A mocking voice came back. "Michelle Miller—because our boss doesn't like you."
