Chapter 911 Hera’s Counter Attack 2
Hera had her phone on speaker as she received real-time updates from Sasha, allowing both Xavier and Alexandre to hear everything. They were stunned, completely shaken by just how far ahead Hera had thought. While the enemy took a single step, Hera had already taken ten in preparation to counter and strike back.
Not only had she managed to save herself from the assassination attempt, but she had also flipped the situation on its head and used it to track her would-be killers. At first, Xavier and Alexandre thought spending more than a billion on that negotiation was a steep price, something done out of desperation to save her life. But now they realized that Hera wasn’t the type to take a loss. What looked like a surrender was actually a strategy.
Though she wasn’t the one doing the hacking, the brilliance of her plan, the foresight, the layers, the traps she’d set in advance, left both men looking at her with awe. Her mind had already mapped out each move long before the danger arrived.
Just then, a bodyguard entered, carrying a laptop. He handed it to Hera, and she began typing some codes in the black screen. Within seconds, Sasha’s live feed was mirrored onto her screen, allowing her to monitor his progress in real time.
Xavier couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath as he looked over her shoulder, realizing just how deeply she was involved, and how far she was willing to go.
Although the laptop screen was small, and it was hard for Xavier to make out every detail on the dual monitors showing on the laptop screen, he could still follow the general progress. One of the smaller windows was running a facial recognition scan on the people who had attacked them, and within just five minutes, the AI had already identified two individuals listed in the international police criminal database.
Then they watched as Sasha injected a virus into the security system connected to the CCTV network. The small window monitoring the virus remained idle for a while, until a sudden spike in activity indicated the bait had been taken. Then, the program kicked into action, confirming that someone on the other end had tried to tamper with the footage.
At the same time, Sasha’s voice came clearly through the speakerphone, narrating his steps in real time. Xavier and Alexandre were watching and listening simultaneously, stunned by the precision and timing of everything.
"Hera... is this really happening?" Xavier asked hesitantly, his voice filled with disbelief.
Hera’s eyes sparkled with satisfaction as she watched Sasha carry out her plan exactly as she intended. She was genuinely pleased, and now that she had decided not to keep things hidden anymore, she didn’t hesitate to speak openly in front of Xavier.
