Chapter: 510

"I'm feeling a bit weary from crafting medicine all day, so I think I'll turn in early," Norah admitted, her exhaustion evident in her voice.

Fatigue etched lines on her face, and Sean, clutching the vials, nodded.

"In that case, head back to your room, take a shower, and get some rest. Remember to balance work and rest. Your health comes first,"

Sean advised, his voice gentle yet firm.

"Okay," Norah agreed, meeting his gaze with her head held high.

Sean stood tall, towering over Norah by about a head's length. She tilted her head up slightly, just enough to nestle against his chest comfortably.

"Give me a good night kiss."

Sean tenderly kissed her lips and whispered, “Goodnight, honey. May your dreams be sweet."

"You too."

The pair shared a passionate embrace for over ten minutes before Norah reluctantly bid farewell and retreated to her room.

As she removed the array of equipment strapped to her body, Norah powered up the hotel's computer. Though its specifications were modest, it served its purpose. She resolved to reinforce its security measures, ensuring her data remained protected.

Upon booting up, the computer displayed a serene wallpaper depicting a clear blue sky adorned with fluffy clouds. The computer desktop boasted only a sparse collection of shortcut buttons. No one usually used the computer of the hotel.

Norah shrugged it off. She switched on the computer, and then went to the bathroom to wash her hair. With a towel wrapped around her wet hair, she settled in front of the computer.

“This hotel's computer system is outdated by a few years."

As Norah's fingers typed across the keyboard, lines of code streamed across the screen, casting a blue glow on her face.

Being the top hacker globally, Norah was aware of the importance of securing the computer to avoid any potential breaches by other hackers that could lead to information leaks.

Even though the computer wasn't hers and the location was irrelevant, she remained cautious, wary of malicious intents.

Her reputation as the hacker Moon was well-known internationally. She preferred not to use her real identity online to avoid unintended consequences.

Seeing it was still early, Norah accessed the hacker forum and noticed an influx of messages.

“A hacker named Star ranked fifth globally, has compromised Lochdeer International Bank's systems, demanding a ransom to restore access while threatening to release sensitive information."

Hackers exploited interests and launched unjustified attacks to achieve their goal of causing chaos. Their favorite pastime was to attack systems and spread panic among others.

Norah was unique. She learned to hack by herself to access information online at no cost. As she kept learning, her skills improved, and she slowly rose to the top in international hacker circles.

Unlike others on the hacker List, she wouldn't resort to attacking or blackmailing to boost her reputation. Instead, her approach was quite different.

In the forum, other hackers admired Star's incredible skills and audacity to extort and blackmail the Lochdeer International Bank.
