The Son-in-law's Wealth System Chapter 62
I am so deep in my thoughts that I did not realize that Hansel Renver is talking to me again."So..." Hansel started conversationally while leaning his back on his chair and crossing his legs. "You just arrived in time.""Oh?" I replied and pretending to be interested with him. "But why? Is there any occassion?""No. But I was just telling some of us here about my weekend."I suddenly scoff to myself. Of course, a narcissistic person will just talk about himself. I bet those people are just willing to listen to him because he is obviously the most powerful inside this room."You see, this is about my girlfriend." Hansel said. "And bless her because she has a way of making our moments unforgettable."I keep my face neutral although his words are crawling inside my head. "Girlfriend?" I asked."Yes." Hansel replied while his eyes are looking at me that is almost mischievous. "She is... Well, what can I say? My girlfriend is really something else. She is always doting on me. A bit cling

Ugh...I can't help but groan while stretching my legs on the sofa. I just arrived in my house after attending that meeting. And right now, I am still thinking about the things that happened and I heard in the meeting earlier.This is really Hansel Renver's fault. If not because of him, I should be having a relaxing afternoon right now. He is really one of the biggest bane of an existence in my life.That smug bastard is always so confident, controlled, and insufferably charming to those too blind to see his rotting attitude behind his mask. Or maybe they already know it but still keeping a blind eye since they need his connection?Do I sound jealous? Well, a little bit. I will not deny that. I know to myself that I also want theckind of charisma that attracts everyone's attention wherever you go.But I am not that jealous to involved myself in any petty competition. I already have my own path in life and I believe that it will lead me to success. Anyway, Hansel Renver is still a bast

Just like what we planned, Evan drives me to the address that Mr. Harold had sent us earlier. When I get off the car, I first look around and sees the building where we are going to meet. It looks normal and quite old too. It is tall, gray, and almost practical and there is no grand signs or logos oncit to give away its purpose to the passerby.Evan leaves me for a second so he can find a good parking spot for the car. While waiting, I can see Mr. Harold is now standing near the entrance. And there is also someone standing next to him.I squint my eyes to have a clearer view on that person's face. It is an old woman. But based on her clothes, she doesn't look like an ordinary woman that you can see on regular days. That person looks refined and poised.I also noticed that her silver gray hair is neatly tied into a bun at the back of her head. Although she obviously looks older than Mr. Harold by a few years, she still have a pair of sharp eyes that holds an intelligence as if she can

Mrs. Stewart who is still composed in her seat is watching our exchange with a quiet but observant expression. Soon, she gives me a knowing look and speaks carefully."If you are thinking how to do that, I can handle the legal proof of your relationship with Mr. Harold." Mrs. Stewart smoothly said while her fingers are lightly tapping against the surface of her desk. "If you decide to accept this proposition, then I can make it sure that everything is airtight."When I did not speak, she smoothly continues."Documents, birth records, even a DNA test if necessary... Name it. I can prepare all of it." she confidently said. "And with that, no one will be able to question the legitimacy of your claim."I close my eyes and exhale slowly. I can feel Mr. Harold's eyes on me too. Once again, I lean back in my chair and starts massaging my temple."I will not deny that it's an interesting proposition." I admitted. "But don't you think it is also a plan that comes with significant risks?"When

I stepped out of the building with an unreadable expression on my face. I make sure that the pace I'm taking is steady as I go and walk towards the parking lot. The chilly air quickly greets me when the sliding door opens and it makes me shiver in cold. While tightening the coat around my body, I turn around to look at the building one more time.Evan is already waiting for me outside. He is playing a game in his phone while resting on a bench near the car. The moment Evan sees me, he quickly stops playing with his phone and approaches me."Hi, Sir Chandler!" Evan greeted me. "Did something happened inside?"I merely shrugs my shoulder as a reply before I walk towards the car."It's nothing." I said. "Don't worry. I'll you later.""O-Oh. Okay, Sir Chandler."Then he quickly opens the car door so I can go inside of it. While Evan is starting the engine, I look through the window again and stares at the building for the last time. I cannot see if someone is looking at me since the windo

We had a long week after that. Bu the moment when our final line of code was reviewed, tested, and signed off, there is a huge sense of relief that quickly crashes over me like a long-awaited tidal wave. The last seven days had been a rollercoaster ride filled with refinement, stress-testing, and sleepless nights. But now, we finally did it. We are now standing at 99.7% efficiency. Even in my system, it is also the showing the same result to me. And for me, it is already an extraordinary result.Relief washes over me while I slump my in my chair. I keep staring at the transparent glowing blue screen in front of me with different numbers floating in my vision.[System NotificationMagnus X Performance Test: CompletedOverall Effectiveness: 99.7%Security Penetration Rate: 0.2%AI Response Time: 0.01 Seconds]I keep staring on my system screen until a smile slowly formed on my lips. We did it. We finally finished it!I first clear my throat before calming myself down. I should not bec

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly shifts the moment Danica Zedd, my former mother-in-law lays her eyes on me.The air of superiority around her is radiating a lot and it is almost suffocating. She is standing tall in front of us to show-off the clothes she is wearing. Danica is wearing an expensive designer dress and the pearl jewelry around her neck is practically screaming wealth. The moment she recognizes me, Danica's lips curls in an expression that shows pure disdain and disgust. She keeps looking at me as if just the sight of me has ruined her appetite already."Well, well, well..." Danica drawls in a voice that is loud enough to draw attention from nearby tables. Look at that. I can't believe my eyes. Is that really you, Chandler?" I calmly look at her but did not said anything. Seeing this, Danica clicks her tongue and shakes her head. Then she soon feign disappointment on her face. "My gosh... A poor man like you in a place like this? Did you trick the staff into le

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.
