Seth stared at his cooling cup of coffee. Across the table, Wayne looked like an absolute wreck. In stark contrast to earlier that afternoon when the man could still muster a smile, the corners of his lips now dragged downward, and his hair stood in disarray as he constantly ran his hands through it in frustration.The further Wayne explained his problem, the more wretched his appearance became. This proved that his predicament was indeed tremendously severe.Initially, Seth agreed to meet Wayne hoping he could monitor the situation and reclaim Delizco earlier. However, after listening to Wayne's barrage of explanations for the past fifteen minutes, Seth realized that his startup had plummeted far too deep.It was the exact same problem from his past life; only back then, Seth had not fully understood the gravity of it."Our newest security program... failed completely." Wayne rubbed his face roughly, his voice trembling with despair."Instead of protecting data, a loophole in the pr

“Sir, there is a request for assistance from Master Seth. He needs help for another Corbyn in court. He just contacted me.”Lucian reported to Alastair, who was currently slicing the cap off his cigar in his study.“You are still here, I see.” Alastair thought Lucian had already gone home.“Yes, and you are not supposed to touch that.” Lucian reached for the cigar in Alastair’s hand and unceremoniously snapped it in half.Alastair sighed in disappointment but did not protest. Smoking or consuming tobacco in any form was strictly forbidden for him. Lucian’s duties apparently included enforcing the doctor’s orders. Thus, the lawyer did not hesitate to dispose of the cigar.Alastair had taken it out assuming Lucian had already left the manor, but clearly, he miscalculated.“Just help him. That boy is still too guarded around me,” Alastair granted permission easily. “I need him to act like a true grandson, but so far, I have not succeeded at all.”Alastair leaned back in his chair, shakin

[Target Sawyer's arrogance has been completely shattered!] [The Target feels deep humiliation and intense fear! +250 Points]Seth's lips twitched, fighting back a highly satisfied smile. Sawyer was indeed quite smart; no wonder his suffering points were valued quite highly. From the start, his easily explosive emotions meant that the 'loose change' points generated by Seth's insults kept rolling in."Well?" Seth looked at Wayne. "Do you still want my help?""Yes! Yes, of course!" Wayne nodded frantically, then turned and kicked Sawyer's shin hard. "Apologize right now, you idiot!"Grimacing through the pain and immense humiliation, Sawyer lowered his head reluctantly. "I-I... apologize."'System. Activate Mind Reader on Sawyer,' Seth commanded internally.[-1200 Points. Mind Reader activated for 1 minute.]Instantly, Sawyer's inner voice, brimming with intense resentment, echoed in Seth's ears.'Damn it! How on earth does Seth know Lucian Travis?! Where did he get access to a god-tie

"You actually destroyed it with your garbage code that turned Delizco into a joke. You should feel lucky we only fired you." Seth added in a lower voice, "Do you want me to drag out this case and throw you in jail for the client data breach caused by your careless programming?"Sawyer's breath hitched rapidly while his hands clenched into tight fists at his sides. Curses rested on the tip of his tongue. However, when he saw Lucian standing behind Seth—waiting patiently for a command—Sawyer could only bite his tongue.With the help of Lucian's cold hands, Seth could very easily turn that lethal threat into reality.[Target Thomas Sawyer experiences a crushing defeat and profound terror! +850 Points!]"Wayne made the right move." Seth patted his cousin's shoulder gently. "He simply threw out the trash before its stench spread and killed the company. Oh, and that 'pocket change' you invested at the beginning... I already told the bank to transfer it to your account. Enjoy it while you ca

Chloe pointed at her supercomputer protectively."I already told him that I hate meetings and refuse to deal with office work!" Chloe pointed right at Seth's face without hesitation.Seth merely sighed softly, then pulled Wayne's shoulder to step back."Let her work the way she wants. Starting today, for the time being, I will help you steer Delizco's direction," Seth stated firmly. He indeed never expected Chloe to handle anything other than lines of code.Wayne blinked in confusion. "But, Seth... next week's military tender—""Next week's military tender is just a stepping stone," Seth interrupted calmly."We will definitely win it. But listen to me carefully; my main target sits much larger than that. Within the next three months, the Ministry of Communications will hold a mega-tender for the encryption system infrastructure of international submarine optical cables. Furthermore, a multinational air logistics company will search for a vendor to update their tracking radar next mont
