The Son-in-law's Wealth System Chapter 67
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.

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 laughter that the two had enjoyed was completely disappeared. Still, the tension in the air remains thick and palpable. Danica Zedd is still standing by their table and clutching her designer hand bag tightly. Her newly manicured fingers are trembling slightly while she tries to process what had just happened.The things that happened a few minutes ago was not part of her calculations. Danica is still thinking that everything is wrong. There must be someone pranking them and waiting to see their reactions. Because if not, then how did this happen?!Danica Zedd had expected Chandler to be humiliated in front of them. She was anticipating to see him trembling in panic and to be thrown out in disgrace because he cannot even afford to pay the glass of wine that he drank. But instead of those things, Chandler Logan had calmly paid his bill. He did not show any hesitation at all. He did not even looked at the total price of their bill and simply paid it.And he even have a credit card

The past week had been nothing but short of a battle to us. It is a never ending grind of final optimizations, stress testing, and endless debugging. But tonight, as I stand in front of my monitor, staring at the finalized build of Magnus X, I suddenly feel something I haven't allowed myself to feel in a long time.Pride.Relief.Expectation.And it is not just in myself but in my team.The moment our final line of code was reviewed multiple times and tested for several times every hour. As expected, there is nothing wrong with the app. If anything, it is consistently showing a stable performance. Even our first premium users, Mr. Harold and Mrs. Stewart, keep singing their praises for the app. Mr. Harold said the app is very useful for his company. Ever since he used the Magnus X, not only his confidential files becomes more protected. Mr. Harold also reports that the computer system he's using is running smoothly.As for Mrs. Stewart, she said the Magnus X is doing wonders to her w

The first twenty-four hours were a series of blur for them. It was full of notifications, real-time analytics, and adrenaline-fueled disbelief. And when morning comes, Magnus X had reached already reached more than a hundred thousands of downloads. And when the afternoon comes, that number had tripled and it is still counting.And now, after three days, the new cybersecurity app called Magnus X is now sitting at an amazing spot with more than one million downloads from all over the world and it is still growing every hour. The people are not just downloading Magnus X for fun anymore. They are now busy talking about it in forums, on different social media platforms and also within the corporate circles.And more importantly, they are not just using it for free. They are actually buying it and subscribing for either monthly or yearly subscriptions that the app is offering for its users. And so far, no one is sending any complaints from the offers and features they are receiving.At firs

After finally having a good and long sleep, I feel so refreshed and full of energy when I wake up. How can I not sleep peacefully knowing that the Magnus X keeps making a huge wave of reaction from a lot of people around the globe? Until now, the data it's showing to us is full of positive huge numbers and comments. While I'm slowly doing my morning routine, my phone suddenly vibrates on the nightstand. I reach for it to see who is calling me this early. It was Mr. Harold. I clear my throat first before I click the green button on my screen to answer his call."Good morning, Mr. Harold." I greeted him in a steady voice.(Good morning too, Chandler.) "May I know why are you calling me?"(Join me for lunch today. There's a good restaurant inside the Veremold Grand Hotel. I believe you will find it to your liking too.)I think Mr. Harold is talking about the famous restaurant inside that five-star establishment. Of course, he will not settle for anything less."Alright, Mr. Harold. Wha
The Son-in-law's Wealth System Chapter 74
The air in the restaurant is far more refined than the tense and full of judgment atmosphere that I left behind in the hotel lobby. There is a relaxing music playing inside the restaurant and the gentle glow of lights coming from the vintage chandelier hanging on the ceiling is making the whole place more comforting and relaxing.Mr. Harold leads the way to our reserved table. And when we take our seats, I finally let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. I guess with those two was really energy and time consuming."You handled that well." Mr. Harold suddenly said before picking up the menu with practiced ease.I lean my back slightly in my seat and rests my forearm on the table. "Well it's not that hard to do though." I said. "People like Danica and Manuel love an audience. They always like to make themselves the protagonists of their stories. But the moment you appeared and realized who you are, those two quickly knew they weren't in control of the narrative anymore."Mr. Ha

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
Chapter 104
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.
