The Son-in-law's Wealth System Chapter 51
The next morning, the first thing I remember after waking up is the email I received last night and its news saying that Hansel Renver is now involved with the New Leaf Corporation and also an investor like me. Of all things, this is something I didn't expect from him. After several hours having an uneasy sleep for the whole night, I finally decided to get off my bed and remove the remaining sleepiness in my body. Then I remind myself that no matter who stands in my path, they can never hinder me in my goals. With that in mind, I stretch my limbs and go to the bathroom and take a shower.While showering, I close my eyes and review the details about our app. The app is now our goals and vision. It also have Andrew and Robert's hard work in it and Evan's faith that are driving this forward. Hansel Renver is just another figure in the background and someone who should I not focus on in the meantime.When I walk into the living room, I stop in my tracks when I see Andrew and Robert are s

When we reach the meeting room, I can already sense the air formality from the people inside. The board members are already seated and we can see from their faces the mix of excitement and unease on it. At the head of the table is where Hansel Renver is already sitting and waiting for the meeting to start.Without giving in to the pressure around us, I just stand there for a moment and take my time to observe him. Hansel Renver is obviously a tall man. Right now, he is impeccably dressed with his tailored suit that fits him perfectly like a second skin. He is smiling while talking to the people who approaches him. He is also shaking their hands while keeping the pleasant expression on his face. When he turns around and finally sees me, Hansel Renver takes the initiative to get off his seat and greet me.He then offers me his hand for a handshake. I give Hansel Renver a glance before taking his hand. I quickly notice how his grip lingers just long enough to convey his authority not on

For the next three days, Andrew, Robert, Evan, and I dedicated our whole time and days to finish the app we are developing right now. We continued doing our trials and errors to fix the bugs we can see within the app. And today, we are gathering around the center table with our laptops open on top of it and testing the final build for our app.Last night, we pulled an all nighter to continue debugging, testing, and running the main system for our app. And right now, I am staring at the sleek interface and design of the app on my screen. As the app continues running in my laptop, I can't help but feel a surge of pride in my chest."Alright." I said after letting out a big sign and leaning my back in my chair. "This is going to be the final test run for our app. So let's make sure it's airtight."Andrew then gives me a weary but excited nod. "Okay. Hit it, Chandler!" Andrew said. "Launch the final simulation now."The app that we made from strarch is our pride and joy. It was originall

When my alarm rings, I quickly get up and feel the excitement running inside my body. But at the same time, there is also a pinch of anxiety mixing with my excitement. It is because today is the big day that I will meet Mr. Harold again to present the app we wholeheartedly created. Despite the confidence I have in the app that we worked for a long time, I still can't help but feel a little nervous in my heart. After all, Mr. Harold is a businessman has a keen eye for innovation and things that can make or change a situation. Impressing him with something new is going to be a huge challenge for us.After taking a long bath, I dressed myself sharply in a crisp white shirt and navy blazer. I change my usual laid-back style into something more professional and businessman-like. While Andrew and Robert are still sleeping in their rooms, Evan is already up and informs me that he just finished preparing the car. When I go outside, Evan greets me with a polite nod and a smile on his face."
The Son-in-law's Wealth System Chapter 55
Mr. Harold is not a selfish person. Seeing that I am struggling a little to give him some nice answer this time, he then takes this opportunity to teach me. Mr. Harold will sometimes ask me some questions and let me answer it first. After that, he will reveal whether I gave him the right answer or not and explains it further to me.This time, I didn't open the system to give me an answer and cheat my way to please Mr. Harold. It is because although I already have a huge advantage with the system always providing me with the right answers and solutions, I still genuinely wants to learn more in this business field. Another one of my reason is that I don't want to miss this opportunity. Mr. Harold is known for his clear vision when it comes to business. Having him right now and teaching me some of his tricks and experiences is like a golden opportunity for me.When our meeting is soon coming to an end, Mr. Harold looks at his wrist watch and then at me. I can see his expression is soft

Hansel's eyes flickers between Mr. Harold and me. His face has an expression of mixed curiosity and subtle suspicion for us. But I keep my composure calm and collected although the weight of his gaze is making it difficult for me to relax in front of him.Since we met him here, Hansel invited us for a tea. Unlike before, Mr. Harold accepted his invitation. So right now, we are all seated around a table and waiting for the waiter to bring the teas we ordered."Mr. Renver." Mr. Harold said. "It seems you're surprised by our connection."Hansel chuckles softly and leans back in his chair as he crossed one leg over the other. "I suppose I am, Mr. Johanson. It's not every day I discover two individuals I know to have... ties I hadn't anticipated." Then Hansel's gaze briefly settles on me. There's glint of something unreadable in his eyes. Seeing this, I force a polite smile on my face although my mind is racing right now. Hansel is sharp. I will give him that. He is far sharper than he

When I step out of the car, I am also carrying a paper bag with the food I picked up on the way back. Evan needs to report in his real office so he left me after dropping me in front of my house. The cold air of the evening is brushing against my skin making me shiver a little and quicken my steps towards my house. My thoughts are still buzzing in excitements despite having an unexpected meeting with Hansel Renver. However, Mr. Harold's insights, his unexpected openness and the meaningful conversation we had is still lingering in my mind like an echo.When I reach my door and push it open, the warm and familiar smell of brewed coffee quickly greets me. I can also hear the faint sound of muffled voices inside the kitchen. Those are Andrew and Robert, no doubt. Their not-so-quiet conversation is filling the space but there's a comforting feeling from it that cuts through the lingering tension in my head.When I get inside the kitchen, I quickly see them both and sitting around the smal

Hansel Renver leans his shoulder against the window of the restaurant. His sharp eyes are following Chandler Logan and Mr. Harold as they exited together. The fake smile he had worn throughout their conversation has finally disappeared but it leaves behind a mask of cold calculation. Then his gaze hardens and there's a flicker of curiosity in his eyes and it is laced with hostility that also flashes in his expression."They are obviously hiding something." Hansel murmured to himself. His words are barely audible and feel his jaw tightening.After straightening his posture, Hansel turns on his heel and walks briskly back to his table. Then he pulls his phone from his pocket. He dials a number without showing any hesitation. His voice is clipped when his secretary answers the call after one ring."Mister Ford, I need you to investigate something for me." Hansel said.(Alright, sir. May I know what is it?)"I want you to look into Chandler Logan's profile again. And dig deeper this time.

The office was quiet except for the faint hum of my computer screens. The city outside was still alive with neon lights flickering through the windows. But in here, it was just me and the weight of the next steps I had to take.Goldenmount Holdings. Cyber Gods. Hansel Renver.Three pieces on the board. Three targets. Three opportunities.I cracked my knuckles and turned back to my screen, watching as lines of encrypted data scrolled past. Robert was still digging into Goldenmount’s offshore accounts, Andrew was intercepting Cyber Gods' communications and Mr. Harold was making arrangements for a meeting with someone who could get me deeper inside Goldenmount.But it still wasn’t enough.Hansel was testing me. That much was clear. He left trails on purpose, waiting to see how fast I could pick them up. But there was one thing he didn’t account for.I wasn’t just gathering information.I was setting traps.Andrew's task was already in motion and find a weak link within the hacker gro

As Hansel took a slow sip from his glass, I mirrored his smirk but remained silent for a moment and letting the weight of our conversation settle. He had thrown down the truth to me but I wasn't foolish enough to think this was just some casual challenge.I know that Hansel Renver never did anything without a deeper motive. So I leaned back and tapped my fingers against the table. "So this real game of yours..." I mused. "What exactly does that entail? More power plays? More corporate sabotage? Or is there something bigger at stake?"Hansel chuckled. "Oh... Chandler, Chandler, Chandler... You're still thinking in such small terms." He said before placing his glass down and folded his hands together. "This isn't just about business. This is about influence, control, and survival too. You've already proven you're not just some underdog. But tell me..."Hansel looks at me before tilting his head. "Are you willing to take that final step and to truly become one of us?"I narrowed my ey

I sit back in my chair and feel my mind racing. Then I turned to my team and look at each one of them. "We need more information on Goldenmount Holdings. Now."Robert nodded his head in reply. "I-I will dig into their financials." Robert said. "I think I-I can enter their system."Andrew cracks his knuckles and rolls his neck. "I will see if I can intercept any communications between them and the Cyber Gods." he said. "Though I guess I'm confident I can do that."Then Andrew looks at me. "And what about you?" I slowly let out a sigh. "I have a meeting to arrange." I said. "And this is quite important too."Hansel Renver had made his move. I still don't know the real reason behind his action. But was time for me to start playing offense.So the next evening, I made my way to a private lounge in one of the city's high-end hotels. I had called in a favor through Mr. Harold and securing a meeting with someone from Renver Industries. To my mild amusement, it wasn't some nameless exec

It didn't take long for the bait to be set.Robert crafted the perfect false vulnerability. It is a fabricated flaw in our firewall that but to an outsider, it looked like an unpatched security loophole. It was designed to mimic a backdoor that if it get exploited, it would grant access to what appeared to be a segment of our client database.But in reality, it was a digital hunting ground.The moment the Cyber Gods took the bait, we will have full visibility into their operations. We will track their methods, their origins, and rheir network structure. And more importantly, we will find out who was pulling the strings."Alright." Robert said with a sigh. "The honeypot is now live."Andrew was already monitoring the system. "No activity yet but it's only a matter of time."Evan then exhaled. "Don't worry, sir. They will come for it. It's too tempting not to."I lean back in my chair and stares at the digital trap we had just laid."Then we will just wait."Luckily, I didn't have to

I watched the city skyline in silence and seesvthe glow of distant headlights tracing the paths across the night. The weight of everything is slowly pressing me down although I refuse to acknowledge it. Our enemies at the gates, the betrayals and the threats lurking in the shadows are all bothering me one by one. But this pressure is nothing new to me."The Cyber Gods, huh." I mused to myself. "What a disgraceful name."The name alone is enough to turn stomachs in the cybersecurity world. They are a notorious syndicate with reach in cyber warfare, trafficking and the main black market trade of classified data. I heard that they had taken down corporations before. They made a whole security firms to crumble under their relentless assaults. And now, they had set their sights on Magnus Tech.And maybe... Just maybe... Hansel Renver is the reason for it.But I cannot prove it. At least not yet. But the bounty and the attacks we experienced are not just a coincidence. That was a test and

Danica Zedd cannot stop herself from pacing back and forth inside her lavish living room. She is holding her phone so tight that her knuckles are slowly turning white.This was a disaster.Kenneth had failed. That brat failed a simple job that he had to do! And worse, he had been caught.But she had been relieved even for a little while that Chandler hadn't pressed charges against him. But that relief had been short-lived. If Chandler knew, then Hansel Renver would definitely knew.And Hansel Renver was not the kind of man to tolerate incompetence. Danica knew that. Although he is treating her well, she can still see a few glimpse of his real temper.Hansel might get snap at her for this failure. And Danica doesn't want that to happen. She doesn't want to lose Hansel's favor on her.Danica had worked too hard to secure his favor. She had spent years making sure her family remained useful to him. He was supposed to be her future son-in-law, after all. When she first met Hansel Renver,

Two months after launching Magnus X, we had solidified our presence as the new titan in the cybersecurity industry. Contracts poured in from corporations, government agencies, and high-profile clients and each eager to secure their digital assets under our impenetrable system. The revenue had exceeded even our most ambitious forecasts and Magnus Tech was no longer a rising star. It was a force reshaping the industry.And to say that achieving these things are easy. Because they are not. Although I have a lot of resources in my hands now, doing these things are all tiring and draining.But what is more tiring is having a successful career and having a lot of enemies at the same time.The bounty on Magnus X had ignited a firestorm in the underground hacking community. Every day, we faced relentless cyberattacks. Some were sophisticated, others reckless, but none had succeeded in breaching our defenses. The failed attempts only strengthened our credibility, fueling our momentum in both t
Chapter 98
Two months after the launch, Magnus Tech had transformed from a promising startup into a dominant player in the cybersecurity industry.Many corporations, government agencies, and high-profile clients were practically throwing their contracts at us. Our revenue had skyrocketed beyond projections. We expanded our workforce, leased new office space, and set up dedicated infrastructure to support our enterprise-level customers.But with success came pressure.The team was working tirelessly. Andrew, Robert, and Evan barely took breaks, and even I found myself clocking in longer hours than I should have. There was always another deal to negotiate, another meeting to attend, another decision to make.And then, the real problems began"Chandler, you need to see this," Andrew said while barging into my office one evening. His face was pale, and that is something I haven't seen so often. I look up from my laptop and puts my pen down. "What is it?"Then he pulls out his tablet and placed it

That was one hell of a launch.I can still remember it all. As soon as the hacker was shut out during the launch, the entire room was rupted into a standing ovation. The investors are murmuring among themselves with clear approval while the reporters were scrambling to frame the perfect headline. Cameras flashed everywhere and capturing every moment of what would soon become the most talked about product launch in the cybersecurity industry.I lean on my seat and opens my eyes. Then I adjust my tie and once again remembers the applause that washed over me like a victory anthem that day. The tension in the room had been completely flipped on its head too. And instead of skepticism, they were excitement instead. There was also respect in it. And most importantly, it opened more opportunities for us.Evan soon enters my office and gives me a report. "Sir, the social media is still blowing up until now. The press is calling this the most daring product launch of the year too." Evan said.
