My Wife is a Hacker by Summer

Mr. Hardy frowned and looked at Zeke. "Did I offend her?! She was the one who offended me! Anyway, regardless of who
offended who, don't go easy on her! Do you hear me?!" Mr. Hardy stormed off, missing Zeke's pale face along the way.
'I'm the one in trouble if I encounter her! It's hard to predict who will be the one showing mercy to the other! Nicole initially had no
intentions of squaring off against me! Yet, Mr. Hardy had taken the liberty to screw it up for me! Ugh! This really pisses me off!'
Zeke thought.
Nicole and Mr. Zach had returned to their seat by then, with the latter saying to Nicole, "Thank you for earlier. Don't let this affect
you later. Go and get yourself ready for the next round."
Ryder nodded his head. "Alright."
Nicole only nodded lightly, showing that she had heard him. Mr. Zach felt that Nicole was even more mysterious. The next round
was in full preparation, and everyone was anticipating the duel between Zeke and Rowdon. This was essentially a competition
between the sitting champion and a famous hacker, an intense match that nobody had expected to witness when they came to
participate in the competition. The crowd was rubbing their hands together in anticipation.
While the organizer was preparing professional equipment for Rowdon on stage, other participants had also taken their seats.
Mr. Hardy led Zeke to his position, not forgetting to remind him. "Good luck! You'll bring glory to the school if you defeat that
famous hacker and enter the finals directly!"
Mr. Hardy would never pass up the opportunity for Zeke to make a name for himself.
Then, Zeke looked at Rowdon coldly, and calmly replied to Mr. Hardy, "Don't worry. I'll definitely skip the semi-finals and advance
to the finals."
Zeke would never miss the chance to save some time if he could.
At that point, Rowdon looked at Zeke with mockery in his eyes. "Well, don't you have a big mouth? Still, I do admire your bravery.
You're not even flustered at the thought of facing a professional hacker like me. After the competition ends, I might consider
letting you join The Hunters."
Zeke sneered. "Wait till you know who I am before you say those things."
Rowdon was left flabbergasted at Zeke's arrogant behavior. 'Who could he be? Who could this high-schooler even be?'

Rowdon's eye's then turned cold as he suspected Zeke was just bluffing.
He would not let Zeke pass this time, for this was his month-long effort. After all, the duel had everything to do with his
reputation.
'As the webmaster of The Hunters, ranking fifth in the international hacker's leaderboard, wouldn't it be a joke if I lose to a high
scholar? I would be the laughingstock of everyone around me,' Rowdon thought to himself as he began to prepare for the
competition.
The match was a head-to-head competition. The previous round depended on the speed by which they could crack the master-
level programs. Now it was a direct confrontation between the two, to see who could hack into the opponent's CPU first. It was a
rather competitive match, and everyone was paying close attention to it.
On the other hand, Nicole was up against Edwin, who could not resist himself from complaining, "Ugh! How did we end up
together?"
Nicole shot him a playful look. "What's wrong? Are you not happy with that?"
