Chapter 349 - 325: What a Great Geographical Location! If Only They Would Attack Me

Chapter 349: Chapter 325: What a Great Geographical Location! If Only They Would Attack Me

Yasna watched the group rush in frantically. His brow furrowed. "What’s wrong? Why the rush?"

One of them immediately said, "Mr. Yasna, something major has happened! Boya’s network has crashed. We can’t get online at all."

The others chimed in:

"Our banking system has crashed too! It’s completely unusable."

"The utility systems are down too, and we can’t process any tax payments."

"..."

"It’s chaos out there. The phones at every government office are ringing off the hook."

As his men reported, Yasna’s expression turned grim.

’In this internet age, for something like this to happen... isn’t this sending Boya back to the dark ages?’

He immediately opened his computer and tried to get online. Sure enough, he couldn’t connect. The network was completely down.

One man said with a frown, "Mr. Yasna, the cybersecurity team says we’ve likely been hit by a hacker attack. And whoever it is, they’re good. Our people can’t handle it."

"The God of Hackers." Yasna immediately thought of one person.

The God of Hackers from the Xuanfeng Alliance.

The Rui Shi Bank network is still down, and everyone suspects the Xuanfeng Alliance’s God of Hackers is behind it.

It’s just that there’s never been any proof. So, while many countries have expressed their sympathy, none have taken any action.

Besides, it’s clear no one is willing to offend a hacker of that caliber over a discredited bank like Rui Shi.

’What if he decides to target their country next? They’d be in for it too.’

Or perhaps they did try something, just not openly. It’s possible they suffered a loss at the hands of the God of Hackers and were left with no recourse.

After all, a hacker like that is a massive threat. He can’t just be left alone.

’So, is this why they’ve come after us in Boya?’

At this thought, Yasna immediately picked up his phone, removed the SIM card, snapped it in two, and threw it in the trash.

He knew that if the Xuanfeng Alliance’s God of Hackers was responsible, it meant that Ba Quan’s team had already failed. The enemy knew Boya was behind it.

’I can’t contact Ba Quan and his men now.’

Then, he sighed. He knew that for men like Ba Quan, once they were exposed, they wouldn’t make it out alive.

"All of you, leave. I’ll figure out a way to solve this!" Yasna knew he was out of options for now. After the men left, he hurried out of his office.

’I have to go talk to *those* people again.’

...

「Xuanfeng Alliance.」

Lu Feng had already summoned Red Lizard and Dali. In front of them, information on Boya was displayed, with a special focus on its topography.

"Boya really has a prime geographical location." Lu Feng remarked, looking at the natural harbor on the map. "It’s a shame the people of Boya don’t know how to use it."

Dali, his face murderous, said, "His Excellency the Governor, so it was people from Boya who targeted our factory? It’s just some backwater place. Just let me lead a team over there and crush them. You said their location is good, right? We’ll just take it."

"All you know is ’fight, fight, fight’..." Lu Feng gave Dali an exasperated look.

’Forget fighting. If we make a move, who knows how many other powers will emerge, giving certain countries an excuse for an "international rescue mission."’

"..." Dali, rebuked, fell silent with an embarrassed look on his face.

Lu Feng shook his head. He didn’t blame Dali.

For a general from a chaotic region like him, his only solution to such problems was to fight. If someone came after him, he would hit back, without any regard for the consequences.

"It would be great if they attacked us first," Lu Feng said, looking at the map of Boya with a hint of anticipation.

But a small place like Boya was far weaker than the current Xuanfeng Alliance.

’Unless they’re fools, they would never do something like that.’

’I wonder if there’s a way to provoke the people of Boya into doing something so foolish?’

’As long as they make the first move, I can legitimately strike back and take Boya in the process. Then, with a few tricks, I can make Boya announce that it’s joining the Xuanfeng Alliance.’

’After all, in a poor place like that, getting the people on our side will be easy. It’s just a matter of using the same methods we used in the Xuanfeng Alliance.’

With this in mind, Lu Feng gave an order to Red Lizard. "Red Lizard, I have a mission for you. Send people to infiltrate Boya. Their network has already been crashed by the attack. See if there’s an opportunity to stir up trouble. Spread rumors that the Xuanfeng Alliance is responsible for their network collapse and provoke Boya into attacking us."

"Your Excellency the Governor, I’ll arrange it at once," Red Lizard nodded immediately.

Although he didn’t know what the Governor’s objective was, his orders were to be followed.

...

「Meanwhile.」

Yasna had arrived at a hotel.

Entering one of the hotel’s finest suites, he saw several white men.

"President Yasna, it seems your operation was a failure!" one of the white men taunted. The others also had mocking expressions.

This was what they had expected.

Although that Ba Quan character thought he was tough, even international mercenaries like Dominic had fallen to the Xuanfeng Alliance.

’Honestly, compared to Dominic and his crew, what was Ba Quan?’

Yasna said with a heavy expression, "If Boya does as you say, will you really provide us with enough weapons?"

The leading white man smiled. "Yasna, we keep our word. So, have you decided? As soon as you make your choice, the weapons we’re providing can be delivered at any time."

"Are you really only after the God of Hackers?" Yasna asked with a frown.

"What else? What does Boya have that’s worth our scheming?" the white man said bluntly. "You have no idea how important a super-hacker is."

Of course, there was one thing he didn’t mention: the main prize was the Xuanfeng Bank.

Just like with Rui Shi Bank back then, Xuanfeng Bank was their biggest target. Who knew how much illicit money was currently sitting in it.

That included funds from some people within their own Beautiful Country.

If they could control Xuanfeng Bank, they could do a lot of things. Of course, controlling those hackers was also very important.

It was just that they couldn’t act personally in this matter. They could only prop up someone else to do it for them, like Boya!

And they were experts in this sort of thing. With their support, Boya could easily crush the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Their previous operations had failed to deal with the three hackers. This time, once Boya made its move, they could use the chaos to infiltrate the Xuanfeng Alliance and seize control of them.

Hearing the white man’s words, Yasna finally nodded. "Then I’ll leave the matter of the weapons to you. For the sake of the people of Boya, I must do something that goes against my conscience."

"Excellent, President Yasna. You’ve made the right choice," the white man said with a smug smile. "Also, since Boya was attacked by their hackers, you can no longer use any communication devices. Otherwise, they’ll find out what’s going on."

"Oh, and you need a reason to start a war. Their hackers crashing Boya’s network—that’s the best pretext you could ask for."

"We have no proof," Yasna said, frowning.

The white man laughed. "President Yasna, is that important? The Dragon Country has a phrase for this: ’unsubstantiated charges.’ As long as you claim it’s true, why do you need to prove it to anyone else? Just resolve everything before anyone can react. Once it’s a done deal, whether you had proof or not won’t matter anymore."

"Yes, I understand." Yasna nodded, then left. He went straight to another location, summoned several people, and began giving them orders.

After he left, the white men began to talk among themselves:

"Using Boya was a good move!"

"Once Boya’s forces attack the Xuanfeng Alliance, all their attention will be drawn there."

"We need to get those weapons delivered to them as soon as possible."

"..."
