Simon recovered from the shock and remembered his original intention of calling. He replied, “Yes boss, I called you because of the virus. Boss, have you ever heard of the Skull?”

“The Skull?” Oneida thought as her eyes darkened.

She had actually heard about the virus before.

It was a super virus that was used to make waves on the internet before. It was said that a computer’s operating system would collapse, and the screen would turn black once it was infected by the virus.

There was nothing on the black screen except a white skull.

Oneida was so busy these days, so she didn’t pay too much attention to this matter.

“Is it possible they haven’t found the solution to the virus yet?” she thought.

“What’s wrong?” She frowned and asked.

Simon’s tone suddenly became serious. “Boss, the virus has now infected Aphotic Group!”

Aphotic Group was a powerful underground business empire that involved the economic lifeline of the whole world, and it was also a gathering of many talents, a for–profit group that people feared.

However, no one knew that the leader of Aphotic Group was actually a 19–year–old girl.

Oneida was the leader of Aphotic Group and the only owner.

Simon continued, “Of course, there are some important systems in the headquarters that have not been affected. After all, there are firewalls built by you, which are indestructible. However, some smaller systems were hacked by the Skull. These systems are not working at all right now. I had sent a powerful hacker from Aphotic Group to deal with it, but the virus was really resilient and couldn’t be eradicated at all. Although the core secrets of our Aphotic Group are not affected, these systems are down and had affected our work.”

After saying so much, Simon got to the point and said, “So, I’m afraid you will have to handle it in person this time, Boss.”

Oneida didn’t even bat an eyelid and said coldly, “Useless people.”

Simon laughed drily, “Those hackers are really useless, but they can’t compare with you, Boss. You are the first hacker on Hackers‘ Leaderboard after all.”

There was a Hackers‘ Leaderboard on the world’s largest hacker forum.

The forum would hold an annual vote to determine the strongest hacker in all the hackers‘ opinions.

Oneida had topped the list for three consecutive years!

She had managed to defeat the person in second place on the Hackers‘ Leaderboard with an overwhelming number of votes.

“By the way, the developer of the virus just sent a message.” Simon’s voice continued to come from her phone.

“What did he say?” Oneida asked coldly.

“He demands us to pay 15 million dollars. Then, he can let the virus leave our systems,” Simon answered honestly.

Oneida smiled and said coldly, “Interesting. Ask him to contact me. I will meet him.”

Soon, Oneida and the founder of the Skull connected online.

The other party was obviously a top hacker. His confidentiality measures were in place, so Oneida couldn’t detect his coordinates and information.

[Hello, have you made up your mind? With only 15 million dollars, your system would be back to normal.]

The other party had sent such a sentence at the beginning.

[What if I say no?] Oneida replied.

[No? Do you have a choice? This virus is my greatest pride and joy. So far, no one can crack it, except me. If you don’t pay up, you’ll suffer more losses. Don’t think that you can crack the virus. So many top hackers had failed. Hahaha. I advise you to know your place!]
