“The SATS?!!”

James King’s voice went up an octave. The experts and technicians eavesdropping nearby froze in place, their expressions as shocked as if they’d just heard a fairy tale.
The cyber-defense battle they had just witnessed was complex and dangerous enough to go down in history books.
And the one who solved the crisis was…
A high schooler taking the SATS tomorrow?
The sheer contrast was too much for these seasoned elites to process all at once.
Richard Chamberlain stood there stunned, feeling his entire worldview take a violent hit.
‘The younger generation really is formidable!’ Richard thought to himself.
But… this room was full of experts, professors, and tech veterans who had been on the front lines for decades. Their egos needed protecting too!
Saved by a high school girl… while it was a blessing for national security, their reputations were definitely taking a bruising.
The senior experts exchanged looks, seeing nothing but self-doubt reflected in each other’s eyes.
They had spent their lives studying cybersecurity and considered themselves world-class, yet today, they felt like clumsy beginners in front of this girl.
“If we’re done, I’m leaving.”
Natalie Moore swiftly unplugged her silver USB drive, gave a curt nod of farewell, and turned to walk out with effortless poise.
James King, Richard Chamberlain, and the rest hurried after her to see her off.
“”Miss Moore, let me arrange a private car to take you back,” James offered.
Just then, Henry Pierce spoke up, “I’m heading to Seaside City too. If you don’t mind, Miss Moore, you can take my car.”
They reached the main entrance as they spoke.
“Thanks, but no thanks.”
Natalie declined, gesturing with her chin toward a black SUV parked ahead.
Everyone understood and didn’t push further.

A tall guy with platinum blond hair stepped out of the driver’s seat. Dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans, he had a rebellious look, accented by a row of silver studs in his ear that glinted under the lights.
He moved quickly to the passenger side and opened the door. His posture was casual, yet he showed absolute respect for the person entering the car.
“Boss.”
Blondie grinned at Natalie, flashing his white teeth. His eyes were bright, radiating a youthful energy.
Natalie gave a short “Mhm” and slid inside.
The blond guy finally looked up, his gaze sweeping over the group standing at the entrance.
He gave a casual wave as a greeting and then hopped back into the driver’s seat.
The black SUV’s engine let out a low roar as it sped off into the night, quickly disappearing down the street.
Henry Pierce’s brow twitched slightly, only returning to his usual expression when Lewis arrived.
“Boss, what are you looking at? The car’s long gone!”
Lewis followed his gaze. “Who’s that guy? He looks about the same age as Miss Moore.”
“Could he be her…”
Henry gave Lewis a chilling glance. Lewis instantly felt an invisible pressure that made the hair on his neck stand up, and he swallowed his remaining words.
“Mind your business.”
Henry uttered just those three words. His voice was low, but carried an undeniable coldness.
Lewis bowed his head immediately, not daring to say another word.
Blondie suddenly shivered. “Yikes… why do I feel a chill down my spine?”
It felt like being watched by a viper. He brushed back his hair.
“Boss, what are we eating?” Blondie asked.
“Whatever.” Natalie reclined her seat. “Wake me when we’re there.”
“Got it,” Blondie said.
Meanwhile, inside a presidential suite at a Seaside City hotel.
Ryan Mitchell was pacing back and forth anxiously. “Ugh! Since we know where our sister is, why aren’t we going to find her?!”

“If you won’t go, I will!” Ryan blurted out.
“Sit down!”
Andrew Mitchell frowned. “Now is not the time. Wait until her exams are over.”

“Andrew is right. It’s not appropriate right now. If we mess up her exams, she’ll be even less likely to accept
us.”
Even the usually decisive and fearless Blake Mitchell was feeling incredibly nervous.
“So where is Natalie staying tonight? On the streets? What are we even here for?”
Ryan usually listened to his older brothers, but he couldn’t do it now. Even if their sister failed the SATs, the Mitchell family would provide for her!
He started for the door, unable to wait another second. Thinking of the hardships Natalie had endured over the years made his heart ache.
Blake frowned, stepping forward to pull Ryan back and shove him onto the sofa.
“You’re not the only one who’s worried. Just sit there and stay quiet. We’ve already made arrangements,” Blake said.
Ethan Mitchell stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with his sleeves rolled up. “I’ve already sent people. Everything will be settled for her before we meet. If we relied on you, we’d be too late.”
Hearing this, Ryan finally calmed down a bit and let out an embarrassed cough. “Fine… okay!”
He quickly changed the subject. “Where’s Jason? Didn’t he say he’d be here any minute?”
Jason Mitchell had finished filming a scene in the mountains around nine that night and called them back immediately.
After hearing they found their sister, he had booked the earliest flight back to the country. He was due any
time now.
As if on cue, there was a knock at the door.
Andrew went to open it, and a tall, heavily bundled figure slipped inside, moving as fast as a shadow.
The newcomer quickly shut the door behind him and let out a long sigh of relief. He removed the black mask and sunglasses that covered half his face, then pulled off his baseball cap.
He revealed a face that was strikingly handsome-pale skin, deep-set eyes, a high bridge, and perfectly shaped lips. He was elite in both bone structure and features.
However, his face showed clear signs of exhaustion.
“Jason!” Ryan jumped off the sofa. “Did you just escape from a disaster?”

Jason tossed his hat and mask onto the entryway cabinet and sighed, his voice slightly raspy.
“My itinerary was leaked,” he muttered.

He ran a hand through his messy, dark linen-colored hair. A few strands fell over his forehead, making him look even more rebellious and tired.
The moment he landed, stalker fans and paparazzi swarmed him. He had been blindsided and spent forever shaking them off.
Jason took off his coat, grabbed a glass of water from Ethan, and downed several gulps, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
He set the glass down and scanned his four brothers eagerly, his gaze finally resting on Andrew. His beautiful almond eyes were filled with unmistakable anticipation.
“Andrew, is it confirmed? Is it really our sister?” Jason asked, his voice tense with excitement.
“Yes.”

Meanwhile, Natalie Moore, currently receiving “special treatment,” frowned at the table full of food in front of her.
Blondie was equally confused. “Waiter, did you get the wrong table? We only ordered three dishes!”
The waitress smiled warmly. “No, sir. You two happen to be our 99th lucky customers. These dishes are on the house!”
“Whoa, thanks! Boss, our luck is insane. I should go buy a lottery ticket after this,” Blondie said.
