You're Out Daddy

Chapter 948 Give Up
The other party was somewhat surprised.
After a long while, he asked: Who are you, really?
Anthony: Who I am is not important. What matters is that I heard you almost got caught last time.
The other party was taken aback. Judging from his intuition and Anthony's actions, he was able to discern the truth. He typed
out: The guy from last time wasn't you!
Anthony didn't deny it and responded: Indeed, it wasn't me.
The other party: Who was the person last time?
Anthony: Hmm... It's someone even more formidable than me.
The other party remained silent for a long time.
Meanwhile, Anthony typed: So, it's futile no matter how hard you try to resist today. Victory is definitely mine!
The other party: It all depends on whether you are capable enough.
Anthony turned to look at Cosmos. “How's it going on your end?”
Cosmos said gravely, “They have given up on counterattacking and focused all their efforts on defense. I need a bit more time!”
Anthony glanced at his wristwatch and spoke. “We have half an hour left. We must succeed!”
Cosmos nodded. “I'll do my best!”
Anthony didn't waste any more time talking to the other party and began attacking as well.
Similarly, the other party didn't engage in further conversation with Anthony and focused on defending.
Even so, under such an intense combined attack, Vermillion's Base hacker team found it rather challenging to deal with their
opponent since their vulnerability was already exposed.

Anthony suddenly noticed something during the attack. “Cosmos, did you notice that their focus has changed?”
“What do you mean?”
“Their defense has weakened upfront. The focus has shifted elsewhere!” said Anthony.
Hearing that, Cosmos tested it out and replied, “You're right! Does that mean... this is the place they're prioritizing for protection?”
Anthony's eyes narrowed slightly. “I think so too!”
“So, what do we do now?” Cosmos asked.
After some thought, Anthony said, “However, there's a good chance this could be a trap they've set... Cosmos, you continue
leading them to launch attacks. It shouldn't be a problem. I'll go and check it out!”
“If he's setting a trap, his target must be you. How about let me do it?” Cosmos asked.
He had been observing Anthony's conversation with the other party earlier, so he understood that their opponent's target was
clearly the boy.
Hence, even if there was indeed a trap, he wouldn't be the one they wanted to lure.
The other party was somewhat surprised.
After a long while, he asked: Who are you, really?
Anthony pondered for a moment and spoke. “No need. We've already got them in our grasp. Even if we can't gain all their core
secrets, the damage we've done is enough to make them fret. You carry on. I'll give it a try!”
Cosmos nodded before continuing his operation.
Anthony swiftly changed his angle of attack, aiming straight at the area where they had just bolstered their defenses.
He adjusted the intensity of his attacks to match the other party's defenses, deciphering layer after layer of their protection.
After a tense standoff that lasted around ten minutes, Cosmos suddenly cheered, “We did it!”
Hearing that, Anthony glanced in Cosmos' direction, only to see him and members of the dark web cheering triumphantly.

“We did it! We've succeeded!”
“Yeah, I can't believe it actually worked!”
“It's unbelievable!”
Anthony averted his gaze. “Please inform Mr. Dave on my behalf.”
Cosmos immediately picked up his phone and dialed Dave's number. “Dave, we did it!”
Upon hearing Dave's words on the other end of the line, Cosmos slightly furrowed his brows. “All right.”
With that, he placed the phone before Anthony. “Dave wants to talk to you.”
Still typing away, Anthony said, “Mr. Dave, what is it?”
“How are things now?” Dave asked directly.
Anthony said, “The external system of Vermillion Base is indeed paralyzed, but they've transferred some things related to the
core. I'll see if I can get my hands on it.”
Hearing the boy's words, Dave paused for a moment before uttering, “Anthony, whether we get it or not doesn't really matter. The
current situation is already chaotic enough to fluster them.”
Anthony glanced at the time. “Mr. Dave, there's still ten minutes left before everything ends. Give me a little more time. If I still
can't succeed in ten minutes, it won't be too late for you to take action then!”
Dave furrowed his brows. “Are you sure?”
“Boss might not get involved without substantial confidential information, so I have to give it a shot!”
After giving it some thought, Dave said, “All right. I'll wait for your news.”
Anthony didn't say another word and merely glanced at Cosmos, who then immediately got the hint, taking his phone and ending
the call.
Watching Anthony continue attacking, Cosmos asked, “Will this really work?”

Anthony remained silent, his hands and eyes moving swiftly as he deftly manipulated the device. The screen transitioned at an
astonishing rate. One of the dark web members, intrigued by his actions, rose from his seat and approached Anthony.
He was utterly speechless, awestruck by Anthony's expert maneuvers.
The other members of the dark web followed suit and gathered behind Anthony, staring intently at the screen.
Anthony's moves had always been unconventional to the point that it was hard to discern his motives.
However, the opposing party seemed somewhat familiar with his tactics and was actively fending him off.
The competition between both parties could be likened to a showdown between experts, making for a thrilling spectacle.
At that moment, the other party cautioned: Don't bother. You won't be able to get it!
Anthony typed: How would I know for sure if I don't give it a try?
The other party asked: Are you intending to send Vermillion Base to its doom?
Anthony typed out casually: That's right!
The other party: Why?
Anthony typed: Because they deserve it!
It was clear that Anthony harbored deep resentment toward them. The other party, taken aback by the boy's hatred, replied: I
have attacked you a few times, but I never intended to be as ruthless as you.
Anthony replied: That's because you don't have a chance to.
The other party was clearly taken aback.
Anthony: Your people infiltrated us before, leaving bugs in our system, intending to bring us down, didn't they? But now, you've
lost that chance!
The other party: Hehe, so is this the reason you're taking revenge?
Anthony: Yes, but not entirely.

The other party typed after a moment of silence: It's clear that you're very determined. In that case, bring it on!
Anthony replied before exiting their chat window and launching vigorous attacks: I've been waiting for you to say that!
Regrettably, despite Anthony's unyielding onslaught, he still couldn't breach the final two layers as the ten-minute mark
approached.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and he appeared somewhat anxious.
Even Cosmos broke out in a cold sweat as he watched from the side.
After all, no one knew what exactly awaited them after the final breakthrough.
All their previous efforts might also be in vain.
“Should we just give up?” Cosmos asked in a low voice.
Frowning, Anthony wore a grim expression, his fingers striking the keyboard quickly and fiercely. “The word 'give up' doesn't exist
in my dictionary!”
