My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 1777
It was only then did the CEO of Howdy Corporation realize that he had met his match. Hiring such help was easy, getting rid of
them was another matter altogether!
He could not afford to piss these hackers off and could only say, "Just tell my secretary how much the equipment cost. I'll
compensate you lot that much!"
It was only then did the rancor die down as they said, rather honorably, "We only need compensation for our equipment. Since
we've failed this mission, we won't take a cent from you for that."
The expression on CEO of Howdy Corporation mellowed somewhat, but his imagination was still running wild. "I can get you new
equipment, but no matter what sort of system they've changed to, I want you to break into it and get me what I want!"
The two hackers let out a snide sneer. "We can't help you with that. Aside from the top three hackers, no one would dare try to
hack the government's security system."
Both Colton’s and the CEO's expressions changed.
"Daniel, that fox, where did they get that governmental system?"
It had cost them millions to hire these two hackers. Hiring the top three hackers may very well cost them tens of millions!
"Also, this person's skill isn't something we can go up against. Please get someone much more skilled than us." The two hackers
sighed.
They had originally invited Mr. Colton to watch them perform but instead they made a joke out of themselves.
The CEO suddenly smashed a glass!
"Get lost! All of you! You lot are utterly useless and you still dare to waste my time?!"
The few hackers' expressions instantly turned gloomy. They were all well-known figures and had never been humiliated like this
before.
Yet, their opponent this time was too strong and they could only pack up and leave...

Just before he left, the hacker saw a flickering signature on his assistant's bluescreen next to him...
An extremely surprised look soon overtook him. "Lucifer..."
His colleagues too heard his murmuring and everyone soon gathered around.
When they saw the signature, they were all stunned!
"What the heck?!"
'The person the Riddle Corporation hired... is Lucifer?'
'No wonder the system suddenly changed!'
'And even we could never break through that!'
But at this moment, no one dared to say anything, fearing that the CEO of Howdy Corporation would not reimburse their lost
equipment if he learned the truth. They whispered among themselves. "Shut up and let's leave."
Colton noticed the strange expressions on their faces and wanted to ask.
Yet, Mr. Howde was still yelling. "Get lost! And don't ever let me see you again!"
This really pissed him off.
His own company secrets were held in their hands and he could not do anything against them.
For some reason, he could not find any cracks in their shield!
Silence returned to the office as Colton said, "It's pointless to get mad. We still need to get this done. Otherwise, Mr. Howde, your
stuff will still be in the Riddle Corporation's hands, and your company will need to continue groveling to them."
The Howdy Corporation was now the Fisher Group's most capable right-hand right now.
In the past, they were totally unprincipled louts and it was this very reason Colton did not want to cooperate with them in the first
place as the Fisher Group too was quite underhanded. But now, he no longer cared who they were. He would pull them into his
alliance as long as they would stand against the Riddle Corporation.

Yet, he did not expect the Howdy Corporation to run into a roadblock so soon. He needed to give them a further push.
