CHAPTER 11: A Moment Between Rain and Code
That night, the digital clock on the wall of Julian's office showed eight o'clock. All the computers in the Apex Tower office had been completely shut down since three in the afternoon, thanks to the automated system he had created. The single-floor office was silent, leaving only Julian, who intentionally remained in his room to enjoy the quiet atmosphere, accompanied by the drizzle of rain knocking against the large glass window in front of him.Julian leaned back in his massage chair, staring at a cup of hot chocolate that was starting to cool. "The day after tomorrow is the launch of T-Store. At least today I managed to cut their work hours. My bankruptcy plan should be safe," he muttered, comforting himself.Click.The door to his office slowly opened. Julian turned his head and was surprised to see Chloe Sterling stepping inside. The girl had taken off her formal blazer, now only wearing a casual cream-colored knit sweater that made her look more relaxed—very different from the
CHAPTER 12: An Uninvited Guest from the Past
The next morning, the atmosphere at the Apex Tower office felt a bit different. Today was D-1 before the major global launch of T-Store. In the outer corridor of the main floor, Julian walked with relaxed steps, intending to check whether the yoga and gaming tournament strategy from yesterday had successfully lowered his team's work focus.However, right as Julian was about to step through the glass doors of the office lobby, his footsteps halted.In the waiting area, Chloe Sterling was standing with her arms crossed over her chest. Her facial expression looked very uncomfortable. In front of her stood a slick-haired young man in an expensive suit. The young man carried a large bouquet of red roses and smiled in a way that seemed forced.He was Brandon Richter, the son of the owner of the largest cosmetics retail chain in the northern district. He was also Chloe's ex-boyfriend who immediately broke off their relationship when the Sterling Group was rumored to be going bankrupt."Chloe
CHAPTER 13: The Banquet of Capital Lords
Julian spent the rest of the day leading up to the T-Store launch with an increasingly uneasy feeling. Every time he walked down the office corridors, the network and developer staff looked at him with eyes full of admiration. Rumors about how Boss Julian kicked out a wealthy heir like Brandon Richter to protect the company's good name had spread across the entire business floor of Apex Tower."Boss Julian is really cool," whispered one of the female staff in the administration division as Julian passed by.Julian could only pretend not to hear. He hurriedly went in and locked himself in his office, looking at the monitor displaying the countdown to the T-Store launch with only eighteen days left.Knock, knock, knock.The door was knocked on formally. Harry entered, but this time he didn't bring any technical files. He brought a physical black invitation card with gold ink printing that looked luxurious."Boss Julian, there is a delivery from the Riverdale City technology and property
CHAPTER 14: A Challenge Over Champagne Glasses
The silence in the Skyline Club hall didn't last long. Julian's relaxed smile actually made the suited men even more annoyed. To them, this young man's indifferent attitude was the most annoying form of arrogance from an amateur.Brandon Richter stepped forward, getting close enough that the scent of his expensive perfume could be clearly smelled. His face hardened, especially when his eyes glanced at Chloe's fingers that were still tightly holding Julian's arm. His pride and jealousy instantly spiked."Do you think this is a joke, Julian?!" hissed Brandon, his voice rising and making people pay even more attention to them. "You're standing here, smiling vaguely, as if you've won. Look at the girl you're holding! She is Chloe Sterling! She's used to living in luxury using my family's and her father's money. Once your capital runs out next week, what are you going to give her? Selling yo
CHAPTER 15: A Challenge Over Champagne Glasses
The ride home after the event at the Skyline Club felt very silent. Chloe sat in the passenger seat, leaning against the window with a blank stare. Her hands were still squeezing the edge of her dress, and her breathing sounded heavy, still holding back the residual emotions from the argument with her father earlier.Julian occasionally glanced over from behind the steering wheel. "Are you okay?" he asked softly, breaking the silence in the car.Chloe was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Julian. Her arrogant nature seemed to fade away that night. "I thought you would hate me, Julian. Because of my family and Brandon, Tengda Corp's reputation is now truly at stake. My father... he's the type of person who will do anything to prove that he's right. Tomorrow, they will definitely deploy all the financial media to bring you down."

CHAPTER 16: Tension Behind the Scenes
The last night before launch day, the atmosphere inside the Apex Tower building felt very different from usual. The large digital clock in the center room showed nine o'clock at night. According to the automatic power cutoff system rules created by Julian, all staff computers were already dead. The office was dark and quiet, but strangely, this calmness actually felt tense, like the atmosphere before a storm arrives.Julian Vance sat alone on the leather sofa in his office. The global T-Store dashboard map was displayed on his tablet screen, showing the countdown numbers: 13 Hours to Global Release."All plans are ready," Julian whispered in the middle of the dark room.He tried to calm his fast-beating heart. Logically, his position on paper was already perfect for going bankrupt. He had implemented a 70% subsidy rule that would drain the treasury every time t
CHAPTER 17: The Anticipated Sabotage
CHAPTER 17: The Anticipated SabotageOne hour before the T-Store global launch button was pressed, the tension in the Riverdale business area felt increasingly palpable. Julian intentionally invited Chloe out of the office for a while to get some fresh air at The Daily Grind, a wood-themed cafe right across from the Apex Tower building.Julian ordered a cup of black coffee, while Chloe sat across from him stirring her chamomile tea with an anxious face. The girl's mind was completely preoccupied with the preparation for the media counterattack that would be released shortly.However, their brief tranquility was interrupted when the cafe's glass door bell chimed softly.A man in an expensive suit stepped inside. It was Brandon Richter. Behind him followed a skinny man with heavy eyebags—Harry, the head designer and the pers
CHAPTER 18: Countdown to the Explosion
Exactly at 09:45 AM. The main hall of Tengda Hall on the lower floor of Apex Tower was already crowded with hundreds of journalists, tech critics, and the active cameras of television stations.In the front row of VIP seats, Arthur Sterling sat with his arms crossed and an undisguised cynical smile. Beside him, Brandon Richter sat casually with his legs crossed, occasionally adjusting his suit while looking at his phone screen with a satisfied smile. In their eyes, this grand event was just a stage to publicly humiliate Julian Vance.Meanwhile, inside the main control room behind the stage, the atmosphere was actually much more tense."Boss! Data traffic is spiking drastically! There are millions of foreign IPs trying to enter simultaneously before the release button is pressed!" shouted one of the network technicians, his fingers typing frantically on
CHAPTER 19: The Wrong Stage
Julian stepped out from behind the red curtain with steps that felt heavy. The bright beam of the spotlight immediately pointed at him, followed by the sound of camera clicks from dozens of financial media journalists lined up in the press area.On the grand stage of Tengda Hall, the giant LED screen behind Julian displayed a graphic of the Earth with blinking text: "T-Store Global Deployment: 00:03:45".Three minutes and forty-five seconds left until the automatic launch.Julian stood in front of the microphone with limp shoulders. His face was pale, his eyes staring blankly at the rows of audience seats. His expression didn't radiate the aura of a young CEO read
CHAPTER 20: Blessed Destruction
00:00:10 00:00:09The countdown on the giant LED screen kept ticking down toward zero. The atmosphere inside Tengda Hall felt extremely tense. Brandon Richter was already holding his phone, getting ready to press the send button to his media network, while Arthur Sterling smiled in satisfaction, ready to see the downfall of the young man they had once underestimated.00:00:00!The automated system pressed the Global Release button.But, exactly at the first second T-Store was released to the global market, the giant LED screen behind Julian didn't show a sharply rising download graph. The screen suddenly flickered violently, bringing up digital green static lines, before finally turning completely black with a spinning neon skull logo.BZZZZT!The hall's audio let out a loud, ear-piercing buzzing sound. The next second, large red text appeared on the screen: "SYSTEM COMPROMISED. ALL SERVERS LOCKED BY RED-COBRA HACKER GROUP.""What's happening?!" "The servers are hacked! The system wen
