Chapter 443: Time to Call the Authorities

When Andres finally got home, he paused in confusion. Walden’s computer was perfectly fine. Not only that—every single computer in the Kenneth family’s network was completely untouched by the Grim Reaper Knocking on Doors Virus. After spending an entire day fighting off the cyberattack, Andres couldn’t help but be stunned. Just to be sure, he brought in a team of trusted cybersecurity specialists to check things out. Without touching any classified files, they scanned Walden’s system and every other unaffected computer in the house. Nothing. No viruses. No suspicious activity. Everything was running like normal.

Was it possible that the Grim Reaper Knocking on Doors Virus had just…skipped over the Kenneth family’s systems?

Walden, meanwhile, casually dragged another file toward Little Wendigo—but this time… Little Wendigo didn’t open its mouth. Walden’s brows immediately furrowed. “You’re not eating?” He nudged the file again. But Little Wendigo—now so round it looked ready to roll away—just quietly turned its back on him.

Walden’s eyes narrowed. He immediately turned to the cybersecurity team, who were just about to leave after finishing their inspection. “Hold on!” One of the techs stopped. “Mr. Walden?” Walden pointed straight at Little Wendigo, which was ignoring the files he had been trying to feed it. “It won’t eat.”

The techs hesitated. “…Maybe it’s a glitch? With all the viruses out there right now, maybe it got—” Before he could even finish his sentence—

“Pfft…”

The entire cybersecurity team went stiff. Wait a minute…why do those scythes look so damn familiar? Walden’s expression tightened. “Is it sick?”

After wringing every last cent out of Silhouette Studio, Olivia returned home fully satisfied. The Grim Reaper Knocking on Doors Virus was spreading like wildfire, taking down systems left and right. By now, almost every major company had been hit. But Olivia had zero interest in making money off her super defense system.

In her past life, it was Zero, the top hacker in Cyperia, who led the charge, cracked the virus’s source code, and ended the panic. The virus itself only lasted a week—but it left a deep mark on history. And the person behind it? The hacker who created the Grim Reaper Knocking on Doors Virus had been crowned the next “ToxiQ.” Even after Zero’s team successfully broke the virus, they had never managed to track down ToxiQ’s real IP. That mystery turned ToxiQ into a legend.

Olivia powered on her computer, ready to wipe out the virus her super defense system had devoured from Silhouette Studio. Every Little Wendigo she deployed was linked to her main system—but they could only sync data when her computer was online. Since external Little Wendigos had limited cloud storage, they couldn’t hold onto too much on their own. The second Olivia turned on her computer, Little Wendigo, who had been holding its mouth shut, suddenly—

“Blurp…!”

Vomited everything like a busted fire hydrant. Olivia stared at the screen in silence.

“Rocket Launch 6.1” “Underground Weapons Facility Reconstruction Plans” “Biotech Research Proposal” “AT Develanment” “Theoretical Analysis on…”

What the heck is all this?

As Little Wendigo on Olivia’s screen dumped a flood of classified files, the one on Walden’s computer finally let out a massive hiccup. Its bloated stomach deflated so fast it was almost comical. Walden sighed in relief.

Meanwhile, Olivia looked at the stack of felony-level documents covering her desktop and went completely silent. Without a second thought, she grabbed her phone and dialed Brogan, who was stationed at the military base. “Stealing classified military intel is a major crime, right?”

Brogan paused in confusion. Olivia didn’t wait for a response. “Do I get a reward for reporting a spy?”
