Chapter 347

Killian couldn't shake off his restlessness and insisted that Cedric take him to Elite Lux.

Cedric agreed and took him there.

The moment they entered the building, Ryan was already waiting for them.

"What brings you here?" asked Ryan, who had a strained relationship with Killian.

Killian, who had been beaten by Ryan earlier, wasn't in the mood to respond kindly. "Whnat's your problem?Am I not allowed here?"

Believing Ryan didn't realize he had been the one defeated, Killian shot back, "What's the issue? Can't I visit Daniela? Does it matter to you?"

The three of them headed towards Daniela's office, where Daniela and Lillian were enjoying a late-night supper.

Cedric walked over, grabbed a pair of disposable gloves, and started peeling shrimp for Daniela.

Killian sat down in the chair across from them. "Daniela, when are you going to fire Ryan? I can take his spot."

At first, Daniela had picked Killian to be the network security officer at Elite Lux.

However,Ryan had offered himself for the role, and after some thought, Daniela decided to keep him.

Somehow, Killian learned about it and started holding a grudge against Ryan, convinced that Ryan had taken away one of the rare chances to work closely with Daniela.

"Really? You think you can handle it?" Ryan scoffed, leaning against the wall."D。you even know what you're capable of?"

Killian wanted to snap back, but after his defeat, he couldn't summon the energy. He clenched his jaw and gave Cedric a look, signaling his desire to sneak into the server room to check if the impressive work he had seen earlier was really Ryan's doing.

Cedric chuckled, then turned to Daniela. "Killian wants to learn some tricks. Is it okay if he checks out the server room?"

Daniela, as usual, agreed with his request and nodded. "Sure. Go ahead."

As soon as she gave her consent, Killian sprang to his feet and rushed towards the server room.

Thirty minutes later, Killian stood at the entrance of the crucial server room, his gaze fixed on the ceilingin frustration.

When did Ryan get so good at this?

Killian couldn't hide his frustration.

Ryan noticed the dark look on Killian's face and let out a scoff.

"Did you write those last lines of code?" Killian squinted, his disbelief obvious.

"Isn't the proof right here in front of you?"

Killian was left without words, his frustration taking over. "How did you suddenly become so capable?"

Ryan didn't even look up. "Did I? Or is it just that you're too weak?"

Completely defeated and disheartened, Killian walked out.

Ryan crossed his arms and glanced over at Daniela, who had been standing quietly beside him."Aren't you going to tell him you wrote those last lines of code?"

"Is it necessary?" Daniela answered.

"I've always wanted to know-why did you pick me instead of Killian. He was your first choice, wasn't he?"

Daniela nodded. "He was." "Then why did you change your decision?"

"Because he was too loud," she replied flatly.

Killian had never known that the reason Daniela replaced him wasn't because of his skills, but because he was too noisy.

For the first time, Ryan felt thankful for being a man of few words.

"Does this mean Killian is investigating you? He works for Cedric, so it's your lawful husband looking into you."

Daniela nodded again. "I don't mind. Let him try." But he wouldn't uncover anything.

Cedric was well aware that Daniela could see through him, so he decided to come clean right away.

"Killian's been feeling down. He thinks Ryan has completely surpassed him. Ryan's gotten so good that Killian feels like he has no way to keep up. He's been asking me where Ryan learned all his skills, and now he's thinking of finding a mentor himself."

When Daniela heard that, she couldn't help but smile with a hint of mystery. "Have him solve that piece of code, and I'll have Ryan reveal who his mentor is. After all, there's always a test when you want to learn from someone, right? Let that code be the challenge."

Cedric looked at her, clearly puzzled."Shouldn't you have Ryan consult his mentor? Killian's skills are solid,and with the right guídance, he could probably figure it out pretty quickly."
