Chapter 196: Seeing Bee accept the challenge, Connor, who was also in the car, looked intrigued and raised his eyebrows. Although he had promised Bee three years earlier that he wouldn't challenge him or her, he was now curious to see who was the better hacker. Since Connor had already broken his promise for Marissa's sake today, he might as well go all out and have a showdown with Bee. If Bee was pursuing Marissa or was the person Marissa was interested in, Connor was determined to find him and prove his own skills Connor focused and began working on his phone. With quick tapping, his screen was filled with complex code, surprising Marc and Terry, who were sitting next to him. Connor aimed to track Bee's IP address and turn on his camera to see what the famed Bee looked like Seeing Him's aggressive move, Marissa also sprang into action on her phone, her screen lighting up with intricate code. Her goal matched Him's; she wanted to track his IP address and activate the camera to see the legendary Him. Thus, the two engaged in a virtual duel, blocking each other's moves while trying to expose one another's identities. Their clash was fierce, with the Warren Group's network serving as their battleground, where they attacked and tracked each other Aelfric and the senior executives of the Warren Group were clueless about the ongoing cyber battle. They saw rapid flashes of complex code on the computer screens, which they couldn't understand. The computers at the Warren Group behaved erratically, constantly starting up and shutting down, which frightened everyone. The instability extended to the Warren Group's gaming applications.

"I got kicked out in the middle of a game. It's really frustrating." "Hasn't the hacker issue been resolved? Can it be fixed? If not, just let us know. Stop making us log in only to be kicked out!" As more complaints flooded in, the Warren Group's stock price dropped by 20% quickly. In the office, Aelfric and the senior executives stared at their computer screens. Although they realized Him hadn't cto help the Warren Group, after several exchanges between Him and Bee, it was clear that if the Warren Group's network was a fortress, Him was its defender and Bee the aggressor, each testing the other's strength For the tbeing, they could view Him as an ally. Yet, they were uncertain how long this standoff would last. If it continued, the Warren Group's network would deteriorate further, possibly causing their stock price to hit rock bottom by tomorrow. Just when their anxiety was peaking, the computer screens suddenly stopped flickering Aelfric looked over at Ewing and asked, “Has the battle ended?" Ewing shook his head and said, "No. Neither Bee nor Him has managed to outdo the other. They are in a deadlock. This seems to be a temporary pause." Aelfric and the senior executives were frustrated. The two hackers were using their network for a personal feud and even pausing for a break, which seemed absurd
At that moment, Bee and Him resumed their conversation. Him sent a message first, saying, "Bee, you've really improved your skills in the last three years."
Ri Bee responded angrily, "Have you lost your senses? My ties with Riss are none of your business. Why are you meddling in my affairs?"
