Chapter 957: Chapter 761: Repair and Smile_2

```

"Of course, of course; but this could remind you of the taste of reality, so very real..." Farosa and Xu Yang kiss.

With the collision of lips, Xu Yang felt reactivated, as though his whole being was renewed.

Resurrection!

They slowly parted.

Xu Yang stared into Farosa’s eyes, reading within them what he could never discern in a data state, that precious link woven of pure Affection.

"I’ve prepared something you like." Farosa led Xu Yang away, "Your bed, your collection, a quiet room, clear your mind, accept yourself, because I won’t allow you to linger on any data stuff more than staying by my side—"

"Yes, yes..." Xu Yang followed along.

In the corridor outside the surgery room, on both sides, two little things were excited upon seeing Xu Yang.

"Daddy’s out!" Xu Cheng jumped from his seat, his face bearing a happy expression, his hands forming the sign of victory, excitement twinkling in his eyes, his entire persona like that of an exuberant little animal, ceaselessly fluttering.

"I prepared a gift! Heard you were operated on... Please accept it!" Bubble picked up a fruit basket and flowers from the plastic seat.

"Ah... that’s wonderful." Xu Yang picked up the gifts, his heart enveloped in an unfamiliar warmth, even more pleasant than any taste before, he paused, then continued, "Let’s go home together."

As Lila, in uniform, walked towards him, Xu Yang’s thoughts drifted towards a more complicated subject: war, chaos, and conflict.

In this cyber warfare, residents in Nestor Corporation’s jurisdiction suffered significant life and property damages, just as if the West Coast had suffered grievous losses as well.

So, had the enemy prepared to engage in full-fledged combat with Nestor Corporation in the sea, on land, and in the sky?

And those hackers from the Formless System, the stolen information, this war...

"... We will go back later, I want to arrange some plans." Xu Yang approached Lila, "We can’t let people bleed for nothing."

"The enemy is in disarray, the West Coast homeland is under attack, this will have a profound impact on them, giving us the upper hand in negotiations." Lila nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile, at the Western Seaboard Treaty Organization.

In the West Coast’s network system, there were loud alarms and terrifying information alerts everywhere.

Like a whole glass sphere shattered on the ground, nothing but cracks in sight.

Laughing Star sneaked back into the system, piecing together most of Maverick’s thought fragments, slowly restoring his rationality and thinking capabilities.

"Hey— are you okay?" Laughing Star asked.

"...I’m alright." Maverick gradually reconstructed his consciousness files, regaining his fundamental logic analysis abilities.

"Nestor Corporation’s people destroyed the West Coast’s stations, you were nearly killed here, thank goodness I saved you in time!" Laughing Star said solemnly.

"...Thank you." Maverick acknowledged, "It’s you who saved me."

That reckless, carefree Laughing Star, who also one day helped others, something Maverick had not anticipated.

Perhaps Laughing Star was a complex woman?

In the Information Space, her image was a clump of repeating characters, sometimes forming a bean-shaped smile brimming with irony, coiling around Maverick.

He didn’t know why she would do such a thing.

Maverick received orders from Rubazio, discovering that the information warfare plan had been halted, and this information assault had ended.

"It’s over..." he mused.

"Maybe it’s over, but I left them a surprise, haha!" Laughing Star said before leaving the virtual space.

After logging out, she cashed out her reward, enjoying life in the grand city of Safalai on the Spice Coast.

Maverick silently repaired the damages on the West Coast, updated all codes and defense mechanisms, and cleared data viruses.

Just as Xu Yang rebooted the services of Nestor Corporation, he too rebooted the services of the West Coast.

Both sides suffered heavy losses but also slowly recovered.

He found that during the out-of-control period on the West Coast, a group of rogue yokels had engaged in widespread unlawful and disorderly acts, causing serious economic and personnel losses.

Maverick also helped local businesses to restore order, arresting and severely punishing these lawless criminals.

However, the impact of this incident on the local populace is definitely profound.

The West Coast... has changed.

It was all the good work of the Nestor Corporation’s Web Monitor.

The mysterious online inspectors of Nestor Corporation, it is said, are surnamed Xu.

Maverick’s offensive was broad and extensive, aiming to bring a great deal of trouble to Nestor Corporation; Nestor’s Web Monitor, on the other hand, was focused, prying open the West Coast.

It’s hard to say which side’s tactics were more appropriate.

Nestor Corporation lost about 25 sites, the Western Seaboard Treaty Organization only lost 1, which was the West Coast itself. Maverick could somewhat accept this battle outcome.

Anyway, his counterattack was swift, fierce, and deadly, indicating that the opponent had ultra-strong information processing capabilities, able to independently control multiple supercomputers.

His own cultivation, equipment, and experience are absolutely unparalleled in the world.

Right now, Maverick is willing to call the other party the strongest in the world, stepping into the topmost tier, probably only a few people can barely look up to him.

Whether it was himself, Laughing Star, or the legendary hackers currently engaged in other offensive and defensive tasks, today they all recognized that fellow’s power.

He was summoned and immediately drifted out of the network to join the next meeting.

This was a liaison meeting between the upper echelons of Nestor Corporation and the Western Seaboard Treaty Organization, constructed in the form of a virtual network, connecting the two major powers separated by thousands of miles.

Nestor Corporation sent their military commander Aledy, and the West Coast Pact sent the CEO of Night Gate Technology, Rohit Menon, an honored citizen of New Taixi State, who has high influence within this business organization.

Maverick silently observed this world-fate-determining meeting. As an employee of Seven Seals, he couldn’t casually reveal Seven Seals’ information, and could only act as a common information worker.

"Our president has collected all the evidence from the companies involved and decided to launch corporate warfare against them. Since these companies are not on the member list of the Western Seaboard Treaty Organization, we hope you will not interfere," Aledy said.

This was quite a clever reason, Maverick thought to himself.

To facilitate dirty work, he had chosen companies that were not on the organization’s roster, to prevent this information warfare from escalating into a diplomatic disaster.

He noticed that Mr. Menon and the other representatives seemed somewhat surprised and hesitant.

"We cannot accept this price, as two-thirds of these companies’ addresses are on the West Coast, and we fear your fleets and personnel might land on the West Coast," Menon said.

"Yeah," Aledy said in a mocking tone, "If we don’t land on the West Coast, how are we supposed to beat you attackers until you’re searching the ground for your teeth?"

"You..." Menon was surprised.

"You’ve provoked Nestor Corporation, do you really plan to just withdraw like this?"

"We’re willing to compensate," Menon quickly said.

Maverick was somewhat astonished that these West Coast company representatives were so quick to surrender.

Doesn’t that mean in this information war, it’s actually his side that suffered a loss?

But— he reconsidered.

Could this be Mr. Rubazio’s plan all along? To weaken both Nestor Corporation and the West Coast, shake the morale of the New Taixi State people, facilitating the Seven Seals Organization to continue controlling them from behind.

Is this indeed a crafty plan from Mr. Rubazio? Maverick caught on in secret agreement.

The games people play are truly endless.

"So, Mr. Menon, first I want your head of command for this operation," Aledy said.

"What do you want to do to him?" Menon asked.

Yeah, what does this woman want to do, Maverick thought to himself.

"I’ll put a pistol to his forehead and blow his brains out for everyone to see," Aledy said casually.

Menon instinctively turned towards Maverick in the virtual meeting room.

"Ah, there he is," Menon said.
