Revenge of the Abandoned Son 45. Data Breach: Recovery Challenges
Kalix arrived at the location around 9 p.m. After thanking Snyder, he headed to their team room where Carl and Kyle were already present. The two appeared anxious in front of the computer, their expressions grim."How's the situation?" Kalix asked them both.Kyle turned towards him and shook her head, but she looked much better than Carl, who seemed nearly frustrated."The data couldn't be justified? Is it really damaged?" Kalix walked to the other side of Carl, staring at the computer screen with a furrowed brow."It's over, everything is over!" Carl exclaimed, hitting the table's edge. His eyes were reddened, seemingly on the verge of tears."Let me check it."After those words, Carl stood up and made room for Kalix.A few hours ago, Carl received a notification on his phone that someone tried to access their computer, which contained data for the upcoming 10-week competition. He had been suspicious from the start, so he decided to investigate.And his suspicions were correc
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 46. Who is the traitor?
The day passed unnoticed until Carl felt fatigue in his shoulders. He stretched his muscles and glanced at the clock on the computer screen. His expression revealed surprise.“This is the first time I’ve lost track of time while doing something,” he said.No response, so he looked in Kalix’s direction. It wasn’t unusual to find him still focused on his computer screen.However, Carl remained surprised. Even though he was used to seeing Kalix work seriously, it was the first time he saw him working intensely for hours.“Hey, Kalix! Are you hungry?” Carl asked louder to be heard.Indeed, Kalix responded with a grunt, as if asking what, but he didn’t pay any attention.Carl sighed deeply and asked again, “What do you want to eat? I can order food, or do you have ingredients in your fridge?”Kalix paused from his work. “Looks like there are eggs and instant noodles.”“Yeah, that’s it. I’ll cook instant noodles with eggs, is that okay with you?”“No. You can do whatever as long as
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 47. Beta Tester
The two of them talked for quite a while and reached an agreement that Eugene would be one of the beta testers for the competition application. Initially, Kalix had considered asking for Snyder’s help, but he hadn’t anticipated Eugene appearing at a time like this and offering assistance.Certainly, Kalix felt a great sense of relief. One problem had been solved, so the application would be completed in less than two days.After seven full days of working under pressure, they could finally breathe easy. That evening, Carl decided to go back home, sleep through the night and day.Before leaving, he said, “Who will you invite to test your application?”“Eugene,” Kalix replied briefly and calmly.However, this caught Carl off guard. “Are you sure it’s Eugene?”Kalix nodded and mumbled in response, looking at Carl with an unclear expression.“Is there a problem?” he asked.“No, it’s just that I’m not sure if this will be a problem or not if others find out,” Carl explained vaguely.Despit

“Did you have enough fun?” Kalix asked as they exited the ice skating rink. Eugene nodded happily, responding with equal joy, “Yes, I had a great time.” Kalix glanced at Eugene, noticing the long hair flowing forward and obstructing the view. Gently and attentively, Kalix moved his hand, tucking Eugene’s hair behind her ear. The gesture made Eugene suddenly feel nervous, her heart pounding, fearing Kalix might notice.“Alright, let’s go home. I’ll drop you off first,” Kalix suggested. Eugene avoided direct eye contact, only nodding firmly and taking the first step to leave. The car drove out of the parking area towards the Celeste family residence. Throughout the journey, Eugene remained mostly silent, much like Kalix, who wasn’t naturally talkative. The atmosphere inside the car felt a bit subdued.Fortunately, Eugene’s house wasn’t far, so the mood didn’t linger. Kalix stopped the car in front of the Celeste residence. Peeking at Kalix, Eugene saw no change in his usual
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 49. Silent Attack
Rocky turned off his phone after ending the call, exited the bathroom, and washed his hands before returning to his desk. Only Lorenz was there, so he asked, "Where is he?"Shrugging, Lorenz nonchalantly replied, "Gone."Upon hearing that, Rocky immediately checked his watch and felt a bit puzzled. "I didn't spend much time in the bathroom, but he's already gone.""Is 15 minutes too short?" Lorenz asked lazily, showing his displeasure. From the beginning, he didn't want to come to this place, he preferred nightclubs, bars, or places that allowed him to drink alcohol. Besides, quiet places like this weren't his style, but he was out of money. So, he could only follow Rocky, who could afford his food and drinks.After Kalix slipped from his hands and 'that person' stopped giving him money, he had no income other than monthly funds from his parents. However, his poor grades this year and several reported incidents around the campus led his parents to stop giving him money, except for sc
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 50. Against the Tide
Neither Kalix nor the system considered the possibility, they didn’t know who took Iann. Certainly, the person might live here or have relatives or friends residing here, granting them access.This apartment is known for its strict security control—security guards and surveillance cameras are everywhere—so strangers can’t enter unless accompanied by a resident.Even in the system-acquired video, the man is seen wearing a black jacket that conceals his entire face, rendering his identity unknown.Instead of heading to the back building, Kalix first approaches the gatekeeper.He asks one of the guards, ‘Sir, did you see my friend leave a few minutes ago? Can you tell me which way he went?’The security guard, having been there before, knows the friend Kalix is referring to. He shakes his head and replies, ‘No one has left in the last hour.’Kalix shows a puzzled expression and adds, ‘How is that possible? My friend left around 15-20 minutes ago, but he left his belongings, so I wa
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 51. Silent
Kalix couldn’t sleep, he stood silently on the balcony, holding a cigarette without lighting it. Clearly, he knew something was wrong with himself—emotions becoming harder to control, a desire to solve every problem with violence. Yet, on the other hand, he didn’t want to admit he might have mental issues. After all, he had died once, experienced the worst and most painful day he could never forget.He sighed, forcing himself to stay calm and rational. Unconsciously, he stood there until the early morning, even as the sky brightened. Only when the system spoke did he realize, “Go to sleep if your mind has started to calm down. It’s already morning.”There was a furrow on Kalix’s forehead, but he didn’t reject the system’s words, instead, he went to his room. Slowly lying down, he closed his eyes. In his brief sleep, he dreamed—dreamed of his past life. On the night his mother died, he wasn’t by her side, rushing to Oakville with a sense of sadness, guilt, and regret for not being
Revenge of the Abandoned Son 52. Involving Jaxson
In the morning, Carl received a call from Iann’s brother inquiring about Iann’s whereabouts. It was revealed that Iann hadn’t returned home all night, didn’t answer calls from his family, and hadn’t communicated. That prompted Carl to contact Iann and only after several calls did he find out that Iann was hospitalized. Carl went there to see him and figure out what had happened. Upon learning the truth, he angrily posted a status on his social media account. Eugene, who was already friends with him, saw the status and replied, asking what happened. Carl explained the situation to Eugene, considering that she was also close friends with Kalix. As expected, after Eugene learned about it, she hurried to Kalix’s apartment and searched for him. The security guard there honestly informed her of Kalix’s location, allowing Eugene to go meet him immediately. Seeing Kalix safe, Eugene’s anxiety slowly subsided. Unconsciously, she reached for Kalix’s hand, holding it, and said, “It’s good th

"Aunt," Lucas called out after finishing hugging his mother."Aunt is the one who saved me, Mom," he continued to explain.Eugene recognized that face. The person called aunt by her child was Jane, who suddenly disappeared seven years ago. It would be a lie if Eugene said she wasn't surprised, but her surprise wasn't something negative. She just didn't expect to meet that woman again after so long, even in such an unexpected situation.Meanwhile, Kalix was still stunned by what he saw. Lucas came with someone else, instead of the police who were tasked with finding his son. For a moment, he was almost speechless, until Jane herself greeted first."What an incredibly extraordinary coincidence, isn't it?" Jane smiled until her eyes narrowed. "I found the child on the south beach. I didn't expect him to be your son.""Yes. I was very surprised and of course, very grateful for helping Lucas meet us." Kalix smiled sincerely.Eugene also thanked Jane, but she couldn't help but scold Lucas i

"Lucas! Be careful!" The shout came from Eugene. Watching her son continue to run around in the middle of the grass field in front of their house sometimes made Eugene feel like she was on the verge of a sudden heart attack. How could she not? Her five-year-old son was very active and almost never wanted to sit still for more than a minute. Eugene could only laugh as she watched Lucas proudly show off his catch, a small insect-shaped ball with black and reddish-orange patterns. "Are you happy to get it?" his mother asked, answered by her son's enthusiastic nod. A blade of grass fell from Lucas's head. Five years had passed, and Eugene had proven herself capable of fulfilling her duties as a mother. Lucas was active and intelligent, inheriting his good looks from Kalix, but his personality, no one knew where he got it from. "Lucas," called Kalix, who had just come out of the house. He was carrying a cup of tea to give to his beloved wife. "Can't you go a day without making yo

Before Hannah contacted Kalix's number, she found her friend's phone ringing, only to discover it was from Eugene's mother-in-law. At first, she hesitated to tell the truth, fearing it might shock the middle-aged woman. However, following Mia's advice, she eventually broke the news cautiously. Then, news came from the doctor who checked Eugene's condition, and yes, the pregnancy news made everyone who heard it feel happy. Eugene felt incredulous at first, but then she felt happy. Meanwhile, Kalix was still trying to digest his wife's words. His breathing gradually calmed, but his eyes couldn't lie. "Oh, what did you say earlier?" Eugene glanced at Kalix to reassure him and laughed before answering, "I'm pregnant, Kalix. Pregnant with your child." After seeing her husband's expression, she chuckled softly—feeling amused by what she was seeing now. "You didn't expect that, did you?" At that moment, Kalix felt the heat of his anxiety dissipating, replaced by a happiness that was eve

"Eugene, are you alright?" Kalix's worried expression couldn't be hidden when he saw his wife looking pale. Eugene smiled gently. Actually, her stomach was quite upset in the morning, perhaps due to indigestion or eating something wrong. She emerged from the bathroom after vomiting her breakfast this morning. "I think I'm fine," Eugene said casually. "Shouldn't we go to the doctor just in case? I'll take you right now," Kalix suggested. Seeing how caring her husband was, her heart felt warm, but she had to refuse, "I'm okay. Besides, I already have plans with my friends today." Kalix sighed deeply, his gaze shifting to his wife's stomach. "I don't mean to stop you, but how can you go out on an empty stomach? You just vomited all your food." Actually, Eugene didn't feel very hungry, but considering the effort the man had put into preparing breakfast this morning, she felt guilty. "I'll try to eat again." It seemed Kalix didn't quite agree with Eugene's words. However, he also fel

All Kalix could see was darkness. He did not know where he was or what time it was. His mind was filled with the bloody figure of Eugene. He felt pain in his heart, regret, anger, and all sorts of emotions raging inside him one by one, making him increasingly despondent. Squatting down and hugging his knees, Kalix did not know how to release the emotions in his heart.He could not laugh, could not get angry, could not do anything. It's as if his body was made to remain silent.In that boundless darkness, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed."Hello, Host Kalix Owen!"Hearing that, Kalix immediately looked up. He remembered, there was a system that could help him, a chance for him to fix everything. Yes, he remembered, he had called upon the system, awakened the system that could assist him."System! System, are you there?!" Kalix searched around in the darkness hoping he would find the system he was looking for.In despair, he suddenly found hope.The mechanical voice of the system echo

The yard was blanketed in pure white, looking incredibly beautiful despite the cold air accompanying it.Eugene entered the room, the place where children under 5 years old from the orphanage slept."Lucas, what do you see?" Eugene asked gently as she approached the only child there.The little boy, Lucas, turned around, seeing the pretty sister who often came to take care of him and his friends in the same room."There's snow, it's beautiful," Lucas said with a sparkle in his eyes. However, realizing he could not touch the snow, the sparkle in his eyes faded.Lucas had been in poor health since he was little, which is why his movements in the orphanage were very limited.Eugene held the boy's chin, smiling softly, and then said, "Do you want to go out?"Of course, the child nodded in agreement, he really wanted to leave his room to see the snow like the other children, even if he

After nearly 2 hours of shopping, they decided to find a place to eat outside the shopping center. On both sides of the shopping building, there were many eateries.Based on internet recommendations, they decided to visit one of the restaurants nearby. As they walked towards the restaurant, Eugene suddenly remembered something."It seems like I accidentally left my watch in the watch store when I was trying on a new one earlier," Eugene said while lightly tapping her forehead."I'll go back to the store, you just wait for me at the restaurant, okay?""Okay." Eugene nodded and watched Kalix walk back towards the shopping center. Meanwhile, she stood still there and waited for Kalix instead of going into the restaurant.Kalix knew Eugene would wait for him outside the restaurant or even follow him, so he quickly walked back to the shopping center. Fortunately, the streets weren't too crowded with pedestrians at that time.After retrieving the watch from the store's employee, he exited t
