My Wife is a Hacker

Nicole just shrugged and said, it was just by chance."

That was all she could say casually, because admitting she was looking for a secret passage wasn't an option.

"Let's go back," Lawrence said; his expression darkened slightly.

He had been glad that Nicole had been easy to deal with up to this point, making things easier for him. But now, he suddenly felt uneasy.

Nicole walked in front with a calm face, leaving Lawrence to follow, deep in thought. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Wake them up," he then ordered his men before he caught up to Nicole.

He wanted to make sure she got back to her room himself, as if that would help him relax a bit.

The men who had been knocked out were helped up by their teammates, looking confused. "What happened?" one of them asked.

"Just get back to work," was the reply before the helper hurried off.

The two, still a bit shaken, knew they had to get back to their tasks. They picked up one of the round robots and went to set it up for battle.

The whole place had been tense lately, like they were all waiting for something big to happen. Everyone was extra careful with what they did.

After Nicole was back in her room, Lawrence told his men, "Keep a close eye on her." "Yes," they responded, feeling the pressure of Lawrence's intense mood.

They tried to be as quiet as possible, not even daring to look up.

They only relaxed a bit after Lawrence was gone, but their faces were still serious, knowing they couldn't slip up.

Nicole had a clear view of the outside and sneered inwardly, 'Starting to take precautions now, isn't it too late?’

She was confident Doretta must have received her message by now and was probably discussing their next move.

With a slight narrowing of her eyes, Nicole sat down to calm herself, pondering over the robot situation.

Those round objects she was sure were weapon-grade robots. Despite their seemingly innocuous appearance, their lethality couldn't be underestimated. She even doubted whether 'Brave' could match up to these adversaries.

'Lawrence has really kept a card up his sleeve, a true sly fox through and through. No, I need to think this through, there might be a way to counter them...'

Meanwhile, after receiving the message, Doretta immediately reported to Jared.

Coincidentally, Zane had also returned. Now in the living room, Jared, Zane, Charlie, Doretta, and Patricia were gathered.

"She found the secret passage so quickly?" Zane frowned slightly.

Aware of Nicole's capabilities, he remained skeptical due to the fact that this was Lawrence's territory, wondering, 'Can she really move so freely?'

Biting her lip, Doretta said, "Actually, I just received the signal from Nicole to act. She didn't mention anything about the secret passage, and when I tried to reply, she was out of reach."

She was somewhat worried that something might have happened to

Nicole.

"How could it lose connection? Was it discovered?" Patricia's face paled slightly.

"It's uncertain, but I think we should act according to Nicole's wishes," Doretta said with determination.

Whether Nicole had found the secret passage or had been discovered and was in danger while searching for it, their only course of action now was to move immediately. This way, if Nicole was indeed in trouble, they would be in time to assist.

"Right, let's take action," Charlie agreed with Doretta.

As the conversation ended, everyone turned their gaze toward Jared, waiting for him to give the order.
