Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 11 The World’s Number One Hacker, X

After Isabelle finished ordering, she looked up to see Ethan staring at her instead of the menu. She turned her head and asked the waiter to bring an English menu for Ethan.

“No need.”

The items on the menu were too expensive for Ethan.

Isabelle didn’t insist, and she handed the menu back to the waiter. “Just serve two portions with what I ordered.”

After the waiter left, Isabelle placed the newly purchased laptop on the table and opened it.

Dressed in expensive new clothes and shoes and sitting in a comfortable chair in front of a huge glass dining table under a beautiful chandelier, Ethan felt uncomfortable all over. He didn’t know what to do. Therefore, he started a conversation with Isabelle, “Have you eaten in places like this before?”

“More or less.”

The places she went to were either seven-star or private Fleoburg kitchens. This was her first time in a star hotel in a small place like Norward City.

“So, the menu was in Fleoburgian, right? When did you learn Fleoburgian?”

“Self-taught to pass the time.”

Isabelle was busy with something. Ethan saw her hands dance on the keyboard. Her eyes filled with seriousness he had never seen before. She exuded a kind of indescribable, overbearing momentum.

Ethan curiously walked over.

When he saw her computer screen, he exclaimed in surprise, “What is this?”

The screen was

filled with data. As Isabelle’s fingers moved on the keyboard, the data seemed to come to life and jump quickly. This scene reminded Ethan of the powerful and mysterious hackers portrayed in dramas. He found it fascinating.

Blood Shadow was the ace of the world’s number-one assassin organisation. Meanwhile, she also had another identity that made her peers look up to her and made countless business tycoons and high- ranking officials both shocked and afraid-the world’s number one hacker, X.

In just a few minutes, Isabelle had created a security system, implanted a location tracker in her computer and phone, and set up a firewall.

Although Ethan thought it was amazing, he was a layman and couldn’t understand how powerful this bunch of data was.

Any professional would know that the standard of the security system she casually created was beyond the reach of many peers in the industry. It would fetch a sky-high price if sold to any company in need.

Affer Isabelle finished, she saw Ethan staring at her screen without blinking. She raised an eyebrow and
