Chapter 1153

Nicole placed her phone down and began typing on the keyboard. When she saw the notification on
the computer screen, her eyes darkened.

‘Seems like someone is planning to get firearms,’ she thought.

“Zeke, activate the firewall I've created for now. If anything happens, contact me.” Nicole sent the
procedure over and continued her investigation on this issue.

Meanwhile, Jared had gone to visit his grandfather.

“Jared, do you have any updates regarding your Uncle Henry?" Mr. Johnston Sr. asked.

“Not yet. Searching for someone who's holed up in another country takes time, so my people are still
working on it. We'll probably hear from them soon enough if Uncle Henry hasn't flown to a third
country," Jared responded.

“No one else knows about this, right?" Mr. Johnston Sr. asked as he looked at Jared.

"No."

"Good. Do not ruin the name of our family. Let's just settle this matter privately.”

"Sure."

"You should head back to work.”

“Take care, grandpa. Bye for now." Jared stood up and left the ward.

The instant Jared had entered the corridor, he asked, "Max, do you have updates regarding Henry?”



"Nope, it's as if he has vanished into thin air," Max replied. "There have been no traces of him since he
fled.”

Jared sighed, frustrated. "Hire a professional detective from that country to aid us. It will be great if we
can find him as soon as possible.”

“Alright, I'm on it,” Max replied.

When he went back to his mansion, the silent emptiness in the house made him think of Nicole. So, he
picked his phone up and called her. "Hello, are you busy right now?”

"It's alright. What's up?" Nicole turned the loudspeaker on as her eyes scanned through the details on
her computer.

“Nothing much, just wanted to ask how you're doing over there," Jared replied, as he just wanted to
hear her voice.

“I'm fine,” she said. "If that's all you wanted to ask, I'll be going off now.”

"Okay, bye." Jared finished, feeling calmer now that he had heard Nicole's voice.

Nicole did not even have the time to think about the reason as to why Jared called her in the first place.
As soon as she had ended the call, she centered all of her attention to the information on the computer.

"Nicole, I've already activated your firewall. What should I do now? " Zeke asked her.

“Now, you'll have to watch out for any attacks that might give the person's location away,” Nicole
ordered.

“Okay,” Zeke replied, after which he dozed off.



After some time, Zeke woke up from his sleep to find that Nicole's firewall had not been breached at all.
Looking at the screen, he thought,

‘‘Is that all for today?"

But just when he was about to fall asleep again, his computer notified him with an alert.

"Danger! Danger!"

Zeke jumped at once, with his eyes glued to the screen. His fingers darted across his keyboard as he
wanted to locate where the cyber- attack was coming from. By doing so, he would be able report back
to Nicole so that she could plan a more precise assault.

Much to his dismay, however, it was just a test. That other party had ceased before Zeke could trace
them.

“Argh! I was so close.” Zeke struck the table, angry and frustrated.

It was then that Nicole sent him a text message.

“They are testing the waters, but you have to try your best to locate them. We don't know when, or how
long they're going to keep testing us."

“Okay.”

Then, Nicole proceeded to stand guard by the computer. Though she had already perfected her
system, she was still wary of the unexpected.
