Marc looked over at Jeff, who seemed to be looking at him without any concern. He had expected the nineteen-year-old guy to appear flustered.

This part can be a little challenging because they had only two hours to develop a software application that could translate between various languages.

It will undergo testing after creation. The program that achieves the highest accuracy and number of translated languages will be declared the winner.

"This is a little tricky, isn't it?" Marc said, hoping to draw Jeff's attention to himself. The latter, however, had his attention fixed on the system he was using.

Marc silently to himself, thinking that Jeff must believe he is just like the others he defeated in the qualifying round.

"I know you might be a little worried but don't be too concerned. It's just..."

"Talking doesn't tire you?" Jeff asked, his eyes still glued to the system, in a bored sort of way. "And it's not like I'm responding to you."

Marc's brows knitted into a frown as he real

    With Jeff's screen turning green, the room went silent, broken by the only sound coming from the computers' faint hum. Marc cast a sidelong glance at Jeff, his expression indiscernible, as though it revealed a hidden pleasure. "You can't be done, right?"It wasn't even a question. It was more like a fact that doesn't need to be checked."What do you think?" Jeff let down a low chuckle and pressed on the bell to signify that he was done. Marc was looking at the screen, trying to take in what had just happened when his eyes grew wide with disbelief.A mixture of surprise and suspicion characterized Professor Paul's observations of the scene in the meantime. He glanced at Mia, who seemed to share his concern. They both knew that something did not add up. Wasn't Jeff very worried before when his screen turned black?"He is done? How is that even possible?" Gary raised a brow, staring at Jeff on the screen. He saw the nineteen year old boy leaning against his chair, unbothered and unworr

    Marc was in shock at what he saw. He glared at the scoreboard and rubbed his eyes a few times to confirm he wasn't seeing things.Although there are actually new languages being discovered every day in the world, there are currently 7194 languages officially recognized.It was, of course, something he could accomplish. He could also create software that could translate all the languages in the world, but he let down his guard and underestimated Jeff.He whispered, “You won,” loud enough for Jeff to hear. “How did… How could you?”Jeff's lips curled into a smile as he took a step back. He was preparing to leave and get ready for the final stage with Marcus Cuomo, the young man who ranked second in the Hackers rank. “I told you there was no chance for you against me.” These words seemed to annoy Marc even more. He would have won if he had not underestimated Jeff.He moved in front of Jeff out of frustration, leaving the onlookers in disbelief. “I would have won, as you are well aware

    Jeff closed his eyes and calmly breathed as he leaned against the window on their way back to the hotel.Mia whispered to Jeff, assuming he was sleeping, "Jeff, congratulations on your win." Her expression was bursting with excitement. Who would have thought that they would last long in this competition? They are in the finals now, and Jeff will compete alongside Marcus Cuomo, the second person on the Hackers rank.Jeff's eyes opened slightly, a tiny smile curling around his lips. "Thanks."Had he not tricked Marc just now, Marc would have gained the advantage.It was very obvious that the staffs of the software organization was also working for the Carter family. They wanted to make things hard for Jeff but he outsmarted them.Jeff knew his goal before he competed with Marc Carter. The software he created would forever translate language even if a new language was discovered.Mia was sitting beside Jeff in the car while Professor Paul was sitting at the front seat with the driver, a

    Jeff sat on the edge of the bed in his hotel room, staring at his phone as Mr. Grador's message popped up. With a nonchalant shrug, he tapped on it and read through the text, his brow furrowing slightly at the mention of Atlas."Hey Jeff, have you seen Atlas around? I simply need to make sure of something. Did he mention anything to you?" The message was displayed.The tone of the message was quite casual.Jeff leaned back against the headboard, his mind wandering as he pondered Mr. Grador's inquiries. He wasn't particularly surprised by the questions; after all, he and Atlas's paths crossed in a way some days ago. Typing out a quick response, Jeff replied, "Yeah, we met two days ago. Nothing out of the ordinary though. Is everything alright on your end?"Jeff included the final bit on purpose because he thought it was funny that Mr. Grador had questioned him about Atlas. Based on his recollections, Atlas checked out of his hotel room, made his way back home, and even texted Jeff f

    Jeff drove Professor Paul's car quickly down the familiar road, the wind howling behind him. The rush of air against the windows seemed to match the turmoil in his mind.Jeff parked in a spot that was free and got out of the car, feeling the cool evening air against his skin. He moved into the tiny, old bar with a step of purpose. The interior, with its dim lighting and the smell of old wood, had a cozy charm all its own, even with its worn exterior.Spotting Atlas at a table, Jeff approached him, noting the way Atlas sipped his drink slowly, lost in thought. Without hesitation, Jeff reached out, snatching the cup from Atlas's grasp. "If you continue to drink without moderation, you might pass away young," he said with a shrug. Atlas looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then he smiled a little. "Maybe dying young isn't the worst fate," he muttered cryptically, his gaze turning distant.Jeff took a seat across from Atlas and leaned back, waiting for Atlas to say an

    PLEASE NOTE THAT EB WILL BE CALLED DAVE FROM NOW ON....Although Dave was unaware of the full circumstances, he was aware that Rebecca Carter's disappearance was partly the result of the Malfoy Family's actions.In contrast to those who were raised in families, Dave was raised alone, having to fend for himself and defend himself in order to fulfill his single goal of killing the entire Malfoy family.Jeff, though, derailed his scheme. "Do you mean that Duane Malfoy carried out this action in order to make money?" Dave asked, sounding more serious as he spoke.Jeff who have explained for the hundredth time nodded his head.When Duane Malfoy was still in his early years of making it, he needed to do something to get acknowledged more by his father.Even though he was a son any parent could dream of, his greediness prompted him to commit that single sin that took Rebecca Carter from him.As a result of a wager, he nearly lost everything he had worked for, lost the majority of his share

    Jeff's vehicle smoothly ascended the curved driveway, surrounded by well-kept lawns and graceful fountains. The magnificent Grador's mansion, with its towering pillars and gleaming marble exterior, exuded grandeur and wealth as it stood tall above.The gate unlocked as Jeff approached, seemingly anticipating his arrival with an odd elegance. His brows furrowed in confusion as he noted the absence of any visible security or staff on the premises of such a lavish estate.He found a perfect place to park his car before getting down from the car. Jeff's gaze darted about, and for a brief moment, he remained where he was.The words of Atlas continued to echo in his ears. “Something was not right.” He could, of course, choose to ignore this, but it would be dishonest of him to claim he was not aware of the oddity as well.Upon reaching the front door, Jeff's cold face was replaced by a sense of unease. The place looked somehow creepy and bereft of human activities.He thought for a moment

    Four Months LaterLater on, it was found that Victor Grador had established the orphanage specifically so he could use the girls for his dubious videos. Before Victor's arrest, Jeff had gone searching for the mistreated girls and had even promised them he would bring their nightmare to an end, which he accomplished with the aid of his brothers. Victor Grador was left unable to defend himself or fight back against the overwhelming amount of evidence. He was totally done for. Jeff went back to school, resuming his life as a genius student from the traditional medicine department. Atlas returned to his acting career, and Dave chose to assist their mother with her project and workshop. It was true when Jeff mentioned that the key to the Technical workshop has been with him since the very beginning. It was in the box that Edward's father, Emmanuel, had returned to him after learning about his mother. Victor Grador's exposure has left the Malfoy Family in a precarious situation, despit

    The End of Old Master Carter

    *Some Hours Ago*Jeff made his way through the grand corridors of the Carter mansion. He was unaffected even by the servants' murmurs and the lavish surroundings. “He reminds me a little bit of Miss Rebecca!” “Yes, that is the boy from the news! Poor boy, his Father betrayed his mother.”“He's really Miss Rebecca Son. I overheard Young Master Marcus becoming enraged over it.”Ignoring their words, Jeff was led into a vast study, its walls lined with ancient books and portraits of stern-faced Old Master Carter. He scheduled a direct appointment with the man who had been bothering him with emails for the past week after the competition.At the far end of the room sat the Old Master of the Carter Family, his presence demanding respect. Jeff sensed the intentions in the air, despite his enigmatic expression. With an expressionless face, Jeff sat down in front of the Old Master. He knew this meeting would be a turning point. The Old Master’s assistant, a slender man with a perpetuall

    *Some minutes earlier*“Sir, the articles concerning Miss Rebecca Carter… I tracked down the individual. She is Jeff's friend, and I discovered she is Melissa's sister,” said the voice on the other end.Victor's brow furrowed, anger, curiosity, and confusion flashing across his face. “Who is Melissa?” he demanded.With a note of nervousness in his voice, the caller answered, “The girl we used for the Professor's video.” Victor's frown deepened. “Isn't she dead?”After a moment of hesitation, the caller said, “Sir, I believe something is wrong. These are not just random occurrences. Jeff knows everything.”Victor's grip on the phone tightened, his knuckles turning white. Implications whizzed through his mind. How could Jeff have known? And what did he know exactly? .“Send me more details,” Victor ordered, his voice cold and controlled.The caller swallowed audibly. “Yes, Sir. I'll get right on it.”After hanging up the phone, Victor stood for a while, gazing at his reflection in the

    In front of the large TV screen, the woman slowly wiped her tears as she stared at the boy who was being applauded on TV. The only source of light in the room was the light rays coming from the television screen. The woman shook beneath her garments, tears streaming down her face, even though she was covered in a cloth. “Are you shedding tears?” As she heard the voice, she wiped the tears off her face, her eyes turning cold like she was not the one crying some seconds ago. She got up to go into the other room after unwrapping herself from the blanket. “You remain as stubborn as a mule, even after years have passed. When will you come to the realization that there is no going back? I have already triumphed.” The man who had just arrived spoke coldly, his voice full of mockery and sarcasm. The woman stopped in her tracks, her trembling hands beside her. “Don't be too sure of yourself.” “Just tell me everything and hand over everything. I will let them go!” The man said, w

    With a sardonic smile curling up on his lips, Marcus said, "Looks like our little Jeff stole someone else's model." Marcus observed something both familiar and different about Jeff's model before they even began to demonstrate their abilities after creating it. It looked too familiar that it struck up a memory. The model does not belong to Jeff at all. The game's rules state that cheating will result in elimination from the competition. Because Marcus was not sure, he informed one of his people who were also working in the software organization. The individual informed his other team as soon as he received the notification, and an investigation was carried out while the model was being tested. Following the match, in which Jeff emerged victorious, it was disclosed that Jeff had been excluded for engaging in dishonesty and utilizing an unlicensed model. "Anyone caught cheating would lose their chance to continue playing the game, per the rules. Jeff Hemsworth is found guilty of

    The Crowd in the stadium roared and cheered in unison as it was the last day of the competition between Marcus Cuomo,the second Hacker on the rank list and the rookie from All Stars University, Jeff Hemsworth.Reporters were all waiting outside the contestants way for Jeff. After the news about Rebecca Carter being the ex-fiancee of Duane Malfoy went viral, Jeff who was previously confirmed as the son of Duane received a lot of attention.They want to know if this young genius was really a Carter descendant.As Jeff was guided into the game room, his eyes landed on Professor Paul who looked sterner and angrier. However, Jeff's gaze only lasted for a few seconds before he made his way to the room. Since the publications' release, Professor Paul had been phoning Jeff's number nonstop, but Jeff had purposefully declined the calls in order to spend more time with Dave looking into the orphanage. Dave and Atlas had indeed been living in the orphanage when they were kids and more serious,

    What next?

    As he completed the last procedures of his cooperation with the Grador's Group, Duane sat in his modern office, the light from his computer screen softly illuminating his features. With a smile on his face, his fingers moved fluidly over the keyboard. This was it, the result of months of arduous labor and compromise. "Sir, something seems to be happening." When his assistant's voice broke through his reverie, Duane looked up and met his wide, terrified assistant's gaze. He could not quite pinpoint the source of the tension he felt in the air.Since Victor Grador gave his approval for their partnership, their stocks have been steadily rising, and happily, there has been no discussion about Jeff becoming the Malfoy Group heir.Even though Jeff was the driving force behind the collaboration, Duane continued to think that Jeff would not have given a damn about the Malfoy Group if he had not been forced.Since Jeff was not present to compare him to, he has been extremely happy these las

    Jeff could see Dave talking to one girl, who was laughing like a little child, from a distance. Even from that distance, Dave drew attention, and he even wore something that covered most of his head. Jeff wondered why anyone would be interested in that stupid boy.“You are here” Dave let out a low laugh upon seeing Jeff, he turned to the girl and said. “Nice meeting you Lisa, see you soon.” “You too.” As Lisa turned to leave, the smile on Dave's face faltered completely, like it was never there.“Girls” he mumbled under his breath. He had literally entertained the girl to avoid suspicion from others because he was dressed as someone who was about to rob a bank.“I didn't know you could talk to girls, you look bitter” Jeff made a comment, a smile tugging his lips. “I wonder what that girl sees in you.” “I wonder what Jamie saw in you” Dave laughed it off. “Elias was literally in love with her, and she chose you!”At the mention of Elias, Jeff let out a small laugh.He had not hear
