“Congratulations on your marriage, Mr. Williams and Ms. Hinton. Here are your documents and your new marriage

certificate. Please keep them safe.”

The clerk bowed respectfully to the pair, his body almost folded completely in half.

His display of utmost respect was due to his discovery of Zeke Williams’s SSSSS class file indication on every one of

his documents other than his basic identification.

Only the most powerful were worthy of having such an impressive status indicated on their file.

When the couple left, the people in the queue burst out in titters of discussion.

“What’s up with that guy? What kind of status does he have?”

“Even the general addressed him in such a casual manner.”

“He must be a general and a high-ranking one at that.”

“That’s not the point. The point is even the military owns a part of Linton Group’s shares.”

“With the military behind them, Linton Group is infallible. They’ll be worth more than gold.”

“Damn, I better buy up Linton Group’s shares while I can. I can already see the impending spike in their value.”

The crowd could no longer be concerned with getting married and were all in a mad rush to purchase Linton

Group’s shares.

Shortly after, the news of Linton Group having military backing had spread like wildfire.

Linton Group’s shares became a hot commodity, and their value experienced surge after surge.

At the same time, Zeke and Lacey had almost arrived at Linton Group.

Zeke instructed Wolf’s Greed, “Have some men stand guard outside. Orders will soon follow.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Zeke wanted to see the kind of treatment Lacey received at Linton Group.

The good shall be rewarded, while the evil will be punished!

At that moment, Linton Group was basically a ghost town.

As they walked, only a few employees could be seen milling around and chatting.

There was not a single sign of anyone from the management.

They learned the assistant director, Fred Jenson, had called all upper management staff and shareholders to a

meeting after asking around.

Without needing to ask, they knew it was held to discuss the hacking of the company’s accounts.

“Let’s go to the meeting room.” Zeke pulled Lacey along and made a beeline for the top floor.

In the meeting room, every member of upper management staff and the shareholders were present.

They hung their heads and heaved heavy sighs. None uttered a word.

Fred Jenson, the assistant director, was exploding in fury as he sat at the head of the table.

Linton Group was currently split into two camps.

The first group was made up of new employees who were in support of Daryl Chadley.

These new employees were all affiliated with Daryl in some way. Despite only fulfilling the simplest of tasks, they

were granted high-ranking positions.

The most prominent member was Fred Jenson.

The second camp was headed by the original employees of the company who were in support of Lacey.

Just like Lacey, they were being shot down by the Daryl Chadley camp.

In order to survive, they had no choice but to return to work for the Linton Group.

Although they did most of the legwork, they were only able to earn pennies.

Dawn Castaneda and Nancy Hinton were part of this camp.

Just then, Fred Jenson rapped on the table.

“The hacking of the company’s accounts is due to the failure of the IT department! I’ve already contacted the Bank

Regulatory Bureau, and they’ll be here soon. The IT and Accounting departments are to cooperate with their

investigation. If I discover that the leak came from any one of you, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

The head of the IT department, a bespectacled man, jumped to his feet. “Mr. Jenson, we’re innocent!” He cried

anxiously.

“The company’s internal system is protected by the country’s most complicated encryption. Without the encryption

key, not even the most skilled hacker could make it past our defenses. I suspect it had to be the work of a mole.”

“Who leaked the encryption key?” Fred asked in surprise.

“Who outside of the IT department has knowledge of the encryption key?”

The bespectacled man answered, “Besides the people in the IT department, Lacey Hinton, Dawn Castaneda, and

Nancy Hinton know the encryption key. I believe that no one from the IT department would leak the encryption key.

Thus, the truth can only be...”

The gaze of every person present drifted to Dawn Castaneda and Nancy Hinton.
