The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 264

As Sammy nodded in agreement, he revealed the name, "It's Shadow."

Upon hearing the name, a furrow formed on Jean's forehead.

Shadow was someone he knew—an internationally renowned hacker who worked strictly for money. Buyers often paid him to attack their business rivals, and he was infamous for his lack of principles or boundaries.

This sudden attack undoubtedly harbored malicious intent...

What surprised Jean, however, was that Sammy had managed to outwit the third-ranked global hacker!!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

Ian felt that the strange events of the day had exceeded all he had experienced in his years. He swallowed hard, eager to inquire.

"Sammy, how were you able to identify Shadow? And that move you pulled off was truly impressive... You managed to defeat Shadow!"

It was almost absurd!

Sammy blinked innocently, his expression pure. "My master had previously crossed paths with Shadow and knew his tactics well. He also shared some weaknesses of Shadow with me. That's why I was able to counter the attack so swiftly."

He glanced at Jean, who was still observing him and smiled with a hint of shyness. "It's not that I defeated him. The interception code I used wasn't created by me; my master made it. I only executed it successfully. After all... I'm just five years old and don't know that much!"

Jean realized the situation and held back his questions. He was secretly impressed by Sammy.

He had thought this little guy was just good at being cute, but he had skills deeply hidden like this!

He had underestimated Neera's triplets!

Harvey was remarkably sharp in financial markets and had exceptional wit.

Penny, at such a young age, understood medical practices and pharmacology.

And Sammy, he was incredibly proficient in computer networks...

These three kids were truly gifted!

Ian was still full of praise after listening. Even if you're only five, being able to execute that interception code flawlessly is impressive enough!

At that moment, Sammy suddenly reached out, taking Jean's hand, and looked up at him expectantly.

"Uncle Jean, can we make a deal?"

Arching an eyebrow, Jean's eyes held a playful glint. "A deal about what?"

"Today, I helped you fend off the hacker. Can you please not tell Mommy about it? Pretend that nothing happened today, and you don't know anything. Please..."

Sammy's expression was pitiable, his gaze imploring.

Though Jean had already guessed, he played along, asking, "Why can't I tell her?"

After a brief hesitation, Sammy let out a sigh before answering.

"You may not know, but Mommy worries a lot about us. She thinks that since we're so smart and have these abilities, others might exploit us to do bad things or even put us in danger."

He glanced at Harvey briefly. "To be honest, when we were abroad, there was someone who tried to abduct Harvey. They wanted to exploit his talents for predicting stock market trends and making sharp investments for their gain. Thankfully, Mommy intervened in time and rescued him. Otherwise, who knows what terrible consequences could have happened! Uncle Jean, we're telling you this because we consider you family and trust you completely. We know you won't harm us, right? But others might not be the same, and we don't want Mommy to worry..."

His words echoed exactly Jean's assumptions.

Seeing their maturity, Jean's heart softened, and he nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, I'll keep your secret."

With his assurance, the triplets finally sighed in relief.
