The Son-in-law's Wealth System Chapter 71
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

As soon as my eyes land on Hansel Renver, my instincts instantly sharpens. After all, I cannot let my guards down in front of this man even for a second. I also fix my posture and make my back straighter than before.Hansel Renver is now standing next to Danica and Manuel with his signature smile. His expression looks polished, unreadable, and quite disarming. He is also dressed sharply with his tailored suit tailored that fills his space with an air of effortless confidence. But that's not what gets my attention. Is it actually the contrast between Hansel and the other two next to him. Danica and Manuel are still showing their disdain to me on their faces while Hansel is full of smiles.It is actually amusing to look at.Anyway, I suddenly become curious why Hansel Renver is now here. Did Danica and Manuel called him? Or they originally have an appointment here? After all, I know that Hansel Renver doesn't make any move without a reason.Mr. Harold notices him too. With another bus

Jannica Zedd frowns at the abrupt summons from her mother. The moment she steps her feet into the grandiose Zedd family estate, she quickly feels the tension inside the house and it is pressing her down like a heavy stone in her chest and it is weighting her down.There is something is wrong here.Danica Zedd, her mother, is sitting on the lavish leather couch in the living room. Her expression is twisting in irritation. Her brother, Manuel, is resting his back against the fireplace with his arms crossed. His face is equally as dark with frustration just like their mother. The sight of them together like this with their tempers are barely restrained is sending a wave of uneasiness through Jannica's chest.She had expected a usual scolding about something trivial like her choices or even her past mistakes. But the expressions on their faces is telling Jannica that there is something more this time."What's going on?" Jannica asked while setting down her purse on the table.Danica inhal

It's already a week since we officially launched our cybersecurity app. The notifications kept pouring in and the numbers on our database continues to climb every day. Every time I refreshed the dashboard, the figures updated in real time and shows the exact numbers of downloads, subscriptions, and corporate inquiries we are receiving. In just a week, our Magnus X has transcended from being a simple cybersecurity app to a full-blown phenomenal app.And yet, despite all this, I feel strangely calm.But while I'm acting calm, Robert becomes more jittery for the whole week. His hands are always fidgeting on his lap and becomes too jumpy than before. Evan is almost acting like Robert too. I always catch him nervously biting his nails then he will start pacing around us excitedly.As for Andrew, he is just shaking his head in disbelief after seeing those two big bundles of nervousness. He is also amazed to see their emotions shifting between amazement and overwhelming realization of what

The aftermath of what he had done is slowly settling in our chests and making our hearts beat so fast than usual. As of today, we are not just a name being in the tech industry anymore. We are now the new face of it. And while my team is still trying to wrap their heads around the sheer scale of our reveal, I am already thinking several moves ahead that we can do after this. I tap my fingers against the armrest while watching the news about us flooding the TV. The headlines about the Magnus X and about us are rolling across the screen. Some are even dramatically sensationalizing us as revolutionaries"while the others are branding us as a threat to the industry. Several big investors and business competitors are also talking about Magnus X.Andrew runs a hand through his hair while his eyes are still staring at the notifications lighting up his phone like a blinking Christmas tree."Chandler, listen. A lot of people are now begging us to let them invest in our app. There are also a

Evan worked fast. Within an hour, he compiled a list of employees who had been approached. Some were lower-level staff, but a few were key figures like our managers, engineers and even members of the legal team."They're being offered higher salaries, better benefits and promises of long-term security." Evan said before putting the report in front of me. "Whoever is funding this has deep pockets."Robert leaned back while rubbing his temples. "And since Mrs. Stewart is behind it, she knows exactly who to target."I scanned the list. Some of these names weren't just employees. They were people I had personally worked with and trusted."How many have accepted?" I asked.Evan hesitated. "Five so far."I clenched my jaw. Five might not seem like much but it was a crack in the foundation. A warning shot."Who's the biggest loss?"Robert pointed at a name. "Thomas Grayson. He was overseeing part of the cybersecurity division."I nodded slowly. "Then we remind everyone that loyalty pays.

For the next few hours, my team and I worked tirelessly and analyzing every possible angle of attack Hansel and Mrs. Stewart that we could exploit. Their attempt to flood our system with false security alerts had failed but it was only a matter of time before they tried something else.And then, it came. It was Andrew's voice that broke the tense silence. "Chandler, check the market reports. Something feels off."I immediately pulled up the latest financial data before my stomach twisted. A sudden wave of negative speculation was hitting the company. There are series of anonymous sources had leaked damaging reports about Magnus X and claiming that our encryption methods were flawed and that our firewall had been bypassed during testing."Where the hell is this coming from?" Evan muttered as he scanned the reports.Andrew clicked furiously on his keyboard."I'm tracing it now... Damn it. The original source is masked through multiple shell accounts."Robert's expression faltered. "Ha

My mind is racing while analyzing the situation. Mrs. Stewart was still in the game. That much was clear. And the problem? She was too smart to make an obvious move. If she was directly involved in trying to steal Magnus X then she had a deeper strategy in play."What now?" Andrew asked in a sharp voice.I exhaled slowly. "We will confirm it."Evan looked at me. "Sir... You mean we will verify the breach? But the data doesn't lie, sir.""No." I said. "But people do."I pulled up a secondary program, Shadow Line, which is designed to simulate a counter-hack. If Mrs. Stewart was behind this then I wanted her to think she was still in control. With a few click of my keyboard, I set a data loop. It is one that would feed back false information."And with this, she wilk think she is still winning." I murmured. "Meanwhile, we will track every step she makes."Andrew smirked. "I like this side of you."But Evan is still not convinced. "We are playing with fire, sir."Then I glanced at hi

I let my fingers to fly across the keyboard as I navigated Magnus X's backend security system. Whoever was attacking us wasn't some amateur hacker. They were professionals. Their assault came from multiple sources and each using advanced techniques to mask their origins.But I wasn't just defending our system.I activated Predator Trace. It is an advanced AI tool I secretly implemented in Magnus X. Andrew and Robert developed it in secret while we were facing Hansel before. While they tried to break through, the Predator Trace will follow the attack's digital footprints while working its way back through proxies and VPN layers.[Quest Progress: Tracing the Attack – 45% Complete]Then Andrew hovered over my shoulder. "Can you stop it?"I didn't look away from the screen. "Stopping them isn't enough. I need to know who is behind it."Robert, sitting across from me, tapped his phone. "Uhm... I've contacted our cybersecurity team but I don't think they will be able to help much. This a

I sat at my desk, while apping my fingers lightly on my wooden desk. But my thoughts restless. Something was wrong. It wasn't just paranoia. I had learned to trust my instincts. And right now, they were screaming at me.But why?Mrs. Stewart had been exposed. Jannica and Danica were desperate but powerless. Hansel had taken a hit in the public eye and my team was stronger than ever. But an unsettling weight sat in my chest. It's like a warning I couldn't quite decipher. Then A knock at my door snapped me out of my thoughts. Evan peeked inside. "Are you okay, sir? You look tense."I exhaled before rolling my shoulders. "Something feels off. I don't know what but I can feel it.""Maybe you are overthinking it, sir? We have been pounding them hard and they have not been able to respond properly. Maybe it's their turn to feel lost."I wanted to believe that. I really did. But my system was silent. Too silent to my liking. Normally, it would nudge me with subtle warnings and small notifi

Hansel Renver is swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand. His jaw clenched while he stares at the fireplace. The flames are now flickering in restless chaos and it is much like his own mind.He had finally done it. He had cut Jannica off.That useless woman had outlived her purpose. He had humored her long enough and let her believe she was valuable. But in the end, she had proven to be nothing but dead weight.She had failed to trap Chandler. She had failed to weaken him. And worst of all, she had underestimated him.Hansel took a slow sip of his whiskey and it burns down his throat but he ignores it. He had always known Chandler was ambitious. But this? This new version of Chandler? It was ruthless, untouchable and unpredictable. It was far more dangerous than the fool who used to stand beneath him.And now, Mrs. Stewart had been exposed too.He let out a quiet laugh. He feels amused despite the tension in his muscles. So even the old woman had her own schemes. It was entertaining i

Jannica stormed into her mother's house without bothering to knock. The sounds of her heels on the floor is too loud. The anger burning in her chest is making it difficult for her to breathe. Soon, she sees Danica while enjoying a glass of wine in the living room."Jannica?" Danica called before putting her glass down on the coffee table. "What is the meaning of this?"Jannica threw her phone onto the table. The screen of it still lit with the anonymous message she had received.'A piece of advice, Jannica. Teach your mother not to overestimate herself. She is playing a game she has no chance of winning.'Danica picked up the phone and starts reading the message carefully. Her expression changes. First it was confusion until a flicker of unease shows on her fsce. Then she schooled her features back into a practiced calm."I don't know what is this about." she said before putting the phone back down."Don't lie to me, mom!" Jannica snapped. "I know exactly who sent it."Danica raised a

I sat at the head of the conference table with my fingers interlocked as I observed my team. Evan, Andrew and Robert were all present and their faces serious as they waited for me to speak. The weight of Mrs. Stewart's betrayal still lingered in the room. "She's been a step ahead of us." I finally said. "But we are not out of options yet." Andrew adjusted his glasses. "We need to assume she has more moves planned. She's too smart to make only one play." "She invested in Magnus X." Robert added. "That means she still sees us as an asset. The question is, how far is she willing to go to take control?" I start considering their words. Mrs. Stewart had been methodical and staying close while setting traps in the background. If I had learned anything from my father, it was that a betrayal from an ally was far more dangerous than an attack from an enemy. "She's not reckless." I said. "If she's making a move against us and she believes she can win. That means she either has more levera

Jannica stepped into the grand entrance of the Zedd estate. Her face pale and her hands trembling. The moment she closed the door behind her, Danica's harp voice cut through the silence."Well?" Danica demanded while standing in the middle of the lavish living room and her arms are crossed. "What did he say?"Jannica swallowed hard and then she hesitates. Seeing this, Danica's eyes suddenly narrowed at her. "What are you doing there, Jannica? Did you do what I told you?"Jannica clenched her fists. "I did. I apologized. I told him I wanted to fix things."Danica's lips curled into a victorious smirk. "Good. And? When is he coming back?"Silence. Danica's expression stiffened all of a sudden. "Jannica?"Jannica bit her lip. Then she speaks that is barely above a whisper."He refused."Danica's smirk vanished. "What?"Jannica looked away. "He told me it is over and we have been over for a long time!"Everything goes quiet for a moment. And then...Slam!Danica's palm crashed onto
