Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 458

Rhett and Frederick had just returned home after work. They heard that Aurora's medicine had been swapped in the afternoon, almost causing her to miscarry. However, Catherine and the miracle doctor helped stabilize Aurora's pregnancy.

Thus, Chad had prepared dinner at the banquet hall to thank them. Rhett and Frederick went to the dining room right away to see what was going on.

Chad had business to discuss with Rhett and Frederick. Since Hera and Catherine weren't here, he asked them to stay so that he could ask Rhett about the progress of Killian Corporation's most crucial project at the moment.

"Have you found a candidate for the development of the new system yet?"

Last month, XS Corporation launched its Shirka OS, and phones installed with the new system surpassed the sales of those using Cube OS for the month.

However, Cube OS had always been the top seller. Thus, XS Corporation scored another win against Killian Corporation, which was another blow to them.

Based on insider information, XS Corporation planned to make its operating system more popular. Thus, it already started investing in teams to develop its own chips and was ready to take over the market. The news had created a lot of pressure for the Killian Corporation.

Besides, XS Corporation became listed successfully after one year of establishment. It was the fastest company in the world to achieve an IPO and was worth 50 billion dollars at market value.

While its value paled in comparison with the Killian Corporation, which was worth 1.3 trillion dollars, XS Corporation was not to be underestimated. XS Corporation would turn three years old next month, while Killian Corporation had accumulated its market value for almost a century.

Faced with the up-and-coming XS Corporation, it was hard for Chad, as the president, and Rhett, as the CEO of the Killian Corporation, to not feel any pressure. After proper consideration, both decided to develop a new operating system for the company as well.

"The confirmed candidates are Vulcan and S, and I've already contacted them via Cyber Web. Vulcan has remained resolute and coldly rejected my request.

"Meanwhile, S said he's not free but has recommended his apprentice, Raven." While speaking, Rhett asked Frederick to hand over the compiled information to Chad.

"These are everything I could compile about Raven's software and firewall systems. Several popular websites in the country are using the firewalls designed by him.

"Rumor has it that Raven can even breach Miridian's satellites. His abilities are just as good as his mentor's, S," Frederick said with admiration.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Although his major was in accounting, he also dabbled in some programming and was very interested in the mysterious world of hackers. Thus, he took the task very seriously when Rhett instructed him to gather information.

While on the Cyber Web, Frederick discovered that the Raven had once hacked into Miridian's satellites, making him more envious of his abilities than ever.

He could not help but wonder what kind of man Raven, who had such impressive capabilities, was. Although Raven's true identity remained a mystery until today, he was firmly convinced that Raven was a

man.

Only a man would be meticulous enough to manage those complicated data codes. If Frederick had such a powerful man by his side, his chance of becoming the next patriarch of the Killian family would be even better.

"Raven's skills do seem impressive," Chad remarked after looking through the information. "But I heard that he's wanted by the International Police.

"It's too risky to work with someone who has a criminal record and is involved in the military issues of two countries. Collaborating with him would harm Killian Corporation's reputation."

"Don't worry about that, Chad. I've already confirmed with my contacts at Miridian. On the surface, they wish to capture Raven for his crimes, but they're actually interested in his skills."

Rhett continued, "When Raven hacked into their UTA-224, he even helped them fix an issue that had been bugging them for a long time. Hence, they wish to recruit a talent like him.

"Raven's identity has always remained a mystery, so they've been unable to contact him. Thus, they issued an order for everyone to help look for Raven.

"They're calling Raven a criminal to deter anyone from recruiting the Raven and make them give up on the idea.

Anyone would want to have a talent like Raven on their side. Thus, Miridian went to such extreme lengths just to recruit Raven.

"Yes. If we can collaborate with him, not only would it be very helpful with developing our new operating system, but we can even develop our own chips," Frederick added.

Chad nodded. "Sounds good. Go ahead and contact Raven."

"Alright," Rhett answered before turning to speak to Frederick, "Freddy, we'll leave this to you."
