Half an hour later.
Arabella had just returned to Reflections Villa when she received an unexpected phone call.
"Boss, the folks from Solterra Cybersecurity Center want you to swing by."
"Something up?"
Arabella's mind was filled with question marks at the news.
The entire cybersecurity center boasted hundreds of computer wizards, yet they couldn't fend off the attacker?
Was the attacker that powerful?
"They want you to head over now. They said a car will pick you up and take you to the center," reported her subordinate. "I didn't want to expose your identity, so I arranged for them to pick you up at the church in the suburbs."
"Alright."
This time, Arabella didn't inquire about the payment, as personal gain seemed insignificant compared to the nation's affairs at hand.
Shortly after, Arabella arrived at the cybersecurity center's building, escorted by a private vehicle. This was her first time visiting such a place.
Upon hearing of her arrival, the director hurriedly greeted her, "Alex, we've been waiting for you. Our last line of defense is about to fall. Please, come with me."
In the main hall, hundreds of security personnel sat in front of computers, desperately fending off the attacker's onslaught.
A massive electronic screen displayed the real-time progress of the situation.
The sounds of fervent keyboard typing echoed in the air.
Arabella was speechless.
"Alex, this is your workstation. Thank you for your efforts," said the director, who then returned to his office to call another expert.
"Clark, it's your turn to step up. It's already a hair's breadth from disaster out there. Can you maybe finish your snack later?"
