Chapter 796 Her Skills

"Evil..." Cosmos mumbled to himself.

"What does it mean?" he asked as he looked in Natasha's direction.

She was staring at the screen with her brows slightly furrowed.

Without commenting further, she got up to her feet and turned to Dave. "Dave, I have a question for you."

Dave returned her gaze. "Go on."

"I don't think this person isn't as wicked as we think he is. At the very least, he has demonstrated to be someone with principles twice. Can we spare his life? Perhaps he can be of service to DX in the future?"

"It's difficult for people like him to work for someone else," Dave replied candidly.

"It wouldn't be too late to kill him if we failed to convince him then."

Dave looked at her and considered her request for a moment. "Fine. I'll give him a chance on your account." With that, he picked up his phone and made a call.

It wasn't until Dave was gone that Natasha's gaze fell upon Kenneth.

"Thank you," Kenneth said.

"You're welcome."

"Let's go. It's time to get some rest."

At that moment, something occurred to Natasha. “Wait a moment." She then returned to her seat and began typing furiously on the keyboard. Finally, she brought a chart up on the screen.

"The places where I have highlighted are all the flaws in your system. Once you fix them, you'll have a very robust system. There won't be any problems after that," Natasha explained to Cosmos. She spoke in a much gentler tone, shedding the aggressive demeanor from earlier.

No sooner had she spoken than everyone leaned in to take a look.

Cosmos, too, was looking at the chart. Did she actually replace all these loopholes in such a short time?

By the time he looked up wanting to question her about it, he realized Kenneth and Natasha were already on their way out.

As he stared in Natasha's direction, Cosmos' eyes glistened with complicated emotions.

"Cosmos, this woman is amazing. I've never seen anyone as proficient as she is."

"That's right. It's my first time too!"

"Cosmos, do you think Shadow Seeker and Anonymous are as good as she is?" someone asked.

Cosmos, the deputy team leader, answered, "How would I know? I've not seen them before, but I believe it to be the case."

"She was incredible! I could feel the difference right away!" someone exclaimed.

"I have a question. Regardless of how good she is, she has only spent a short time here. How did she detect so many flaws in our system?" another asked.

Upon hearing the question, Cosmos replied in annoyance, "Isn't it obvious? She must have remembered all of them when the enemy attacked."

"But to do that while battling the enemy is too..."

I have to agree.

Even though Cosmos, too, found it unbelievable, that was the only logical explanation available.

"Cosmos, I have another question."

Upon regaining his senses, Cosmos stared at his men. "Why do you guys have so many questions?"

"-"

"Just go through the chart, and fix all the loopholes. I'm going out to deal with something and will be back shortly." With that, Cosmos headed out the door.

His men felt disheartened as they watched his leaving silhouette. Nonetheless, they quickly got a grip of themselves over the need to patch up the loopholes.

Meanwhile, inside a conference room, Mike served Natasha a cup of coffee the moment she sat down.

"Natasha, enjoy," Mike said with an expression that was filled with admiration.

"Thank you," Natasha responded with a smile.

"You're most welcome!"

Even though he wasn't familiar with hackers, he was now aware that Natasha was anything but a bimbo. In fact, his impression of her had experienced a paradigm shift.

If Natasha was considered to have earned their acknowledgment with her attitude before this, then today, she had proven to them based on her skills.

Without a doubt, she had earned their respect after what she had done.

When Kenneth saw how obsequious Mike was behaving, he threw the latter a glance. "Where's mine?"

Jolted out of his thoughts, Mike hesitated briefly before replying with a smile, "It's not like you did much today, Kenneth."

The words caused Kenneth's eyes to narrow.

Natasha couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Are you saying that I don't even deserve a cup of coffee now?" Kenneth asked softly.

Seeing that Kenneth was about to make a fuss, Mike quickly said, “Of course not. I'll get someone to bring you one.”

"I want you to do it."

"Huh?"

"Go now!" Kenneth pressured him with a glare.

After giving it a quick thought, Mike said, "Fine.”

Left without a choice, he went off to make coffee.

Natasha took a few sips before putting down her cup. "Why did you have to make things difficult for him?"

"That brat is getting on my nerves," Kenneth mumbled.

"That's because you always indulge him," Natasha retorted.

The comment brought a smile to Kenneth's face.

He had known Mike a long time ago, and both of them had been through thick and thin together. When he had planned to retire, Mike had insisted on doing the same. It wasn't until he convinced Mike to stay that the latter finally relented.

As a result, Mike had a special place in Kenneth's heart.

"Enough about him. How are you feeling? Are you tired?" Kenneth asked.

"I'm not," Natasha replied.

"All right, then. Once Dave is back, we'll have a discussion with him before I take you home," Kenneth said.

Just as Natasha nodded in acknowledgment, Mike returned with a cup of coffee in his hand.

He carried it clumsily before putting it down in front of Kenneth. "Kenneth, here's your favorite black coffee."

Kenneth subsequently gave him an approving glance.

When he saw the satisfied look on Kenneth's face, Mike asked with a smile, "Boss, can I talk to Natasha?"

Kenneth cocked his brows in response. "What about?"

"Nothing much. I just have a few questions considering how amazing she is," Mike said.

After pondering a moment, Kenneth replied, "I think you should figure out how you're going to explain yourself to me."

Uh...

Mike had almost forgotten about that.

He wore an innocent look on his face as he stared at Kenneth. "W-What do you mean?"

"What do you think?" Kenneth threw the question back at Mike as he sipped his coffee.

Mike had no idea what Kenneth was talking about.

When he shifted his gaze toward Natasha, the latter shook her head at him.

With no help forthcoming, Mike had no choice but to steel himself. "Kenneth, can you give me a clue? I don't think I did anything wrong recently."

"Oh, is that so?" Kenneth slightly raised the pitch of his voice.

Whenever Kenneth reacted that way, it would strike fear into Mike. After deliberating for a moment, he mumbled to himself, "The only possibility is what I said in the chat group, but you aren't in it..."

Despite Mike's soft murmurs, Kenneth clearly heard everything.
