NovelBarChapter 482 Chapter 482 Over at the CEO's office at XS Corporation, Bernard stood straight and tall before the floor-to-ceiling windows, his long fingers wrapped around a glass of wine as he swirled the ruby-colored liquid around. He imperiously surveyed the crowd below the building as if they were no better than pests.
"Bernard, Samson just called and said he's handled the matter with the International Police," Aaron said, knocking on the door as he entered.

Aaron joined him by the floor-to-ceiling windows and stared at the crowd below. He sighed. "I wonder what Chad will make of this spectacle you've put on." "Don't bring him up on a day like this. You'll just spoil my celebratory mood," Bernard drawled.
Aaron pursed his lips. There was a celebratory mood indeed. Today marked the third anniversary since Bernard had gone against his family. He changed the topic and asked, "So who's this Raven guy?" "Curious, huh?" Bernard cut him a sidelong glance.
Aaron nodded. He hadn't been interested before but grew curious about Raven's identity after seeing the commotion and hearing about Elpswich's ten-million-dollar reward for anyone who found the famous hacker. Bernard said curtly, "Go look for her yourself." Aaron shot Bernard a withering look. He jested, "Do you not know who Raven is, too?" "I'm waiting for confirmation," Bernard answered. He looked at his phone and found no reply to the message he had sent earlier.
Shock colored Aaron's face. "What? If you aren't sure, why would you have Samson go-" He was cut off when the door opened and Theo walked in. Pursing his lips, he dropped the matter entirely. "Rhett and his son are here, Bernard. Word has it that they want Raven to develop microchips for Killian Corporation," Theo reported.
Bernard snorted but made no reply.

"I'm going down to the fray. I leave the rest to you," he said, handing Theo his wine glass.
"Yes, Mr. Killian," Theo replied.
Meanwhile, Hera was scrolling the news in Damian's minivan. Leon, who was also following the latest news update, exclaimed in surprise, "Damn, Boss! You're famous! Everyone's looking for you. "With the frenzy you've caused, you don't suppose they'll shred you into pieces if they discover your identity, do you?" Hera had finished scrolling through
the trending topics and the latest updates on the Cyber Web. She never thought she would be capable of stirring up such discourse. She wondered if S would give her an earful at the anniversary party.
She texted Samantha and asked about the investigation. The latter called her a second nd later. "Hera!m have the results. The case has been verified, and you are on the wanted list! Also, the bounty has been increased from 100 thousand dollars to a million dollars
