All Her Secrets

Chapter 369 The Contract

These days, in Oceanvile, the Winfreds definitely had the toughest time. Xavier had a heap of problems on his plate. Even though he knew he had ruffled the feathers of the Hacker Alliance, he just couldn’t seem to focus on dealing with them right now.

And it didn’t seem like the Hacker Alliance was making any moves, so he had sort of brushed it off for the time being.

But little did he know that this time, the Hacker Alliance struck hard. By the time Xavier received the message, it was already too late.

The leader of Withalist from the Hacker Alliance personally intervened. The leader of Withalist caused quite a stir in the Winfreds’ projects and even made a public declaration to the entire Oceanvile.

Anyone who dared to assist the Winfreds would be considered an enemy of the Hacker Alliance. The Hacker Alliance was not one to do business with its enemies, and once one was on their blacklist, there was no chance of cooperation.

The Hacker Alliance’s influence was vast. For some tricky matters, people often needed to approach them. No one wanted to offend such a massive organization.

In just one day, Xavier couldn’t hold on any longer. The Winfreds’ financial chain broke, all their projects came to a halt, and they were losing hundreds of millions of dollars every day.

Xavier aged overnight, and his health deteriorated. To save the Winfreds, Xavier reached out to the leader of Withalist. However, the other party only agreed to communicate online and refused to meet in person.

Xavier had no choice but to accept, as he had heard that the Hacker Alliance members were shrouded in mystery. Many didn’t even know their gender.

After the screen link was established, it remained pitch-black. Xavier thought his computer was acting up and quickly asked his assistant, “What’s going on?”

Before the assistant could check, a cold and deep male voice came from the darkness of the screen.

“Xavier, you’ve got quite the nerve.”

Xavier realized that his conversation partner was using a blacked-out screen, and he shot a quick glance at his side to signal his assistant.
