Anthony shook his head with a smile, "No, he didn't. He received the life sentence so we should not worry about him. However, Empire has nominated a new leading hacker."

“Oh, really! Did they?"

Maria was no longer distracted by the beer and suddenly looked serious.

According to the information she had, only when Empire decided to launch the second Eastern Expedition would a new leader be officially nominated. This person would become the leading hacker of Empire.

“I have very little information about the person. I only know that the codename is Octavian," Anthony added with a smile.

Maria nodded.

Since this person was the successor of Kaiser, Octavian seemed like a suitable codename.

“So, has the Eastern Expedition begun?" asked Maria.

Anthony had the ability to perfectly hide his identity as Night from

Maria.

The reason they had a showdown this time must be because of the Eastern Expedition.

Anthony nodded. "Yes. Or rather, it's about to begin. This is the highest level of information. Even if Heaven keeps an eye on Empire 24/7, it is difficult to obtain authentic information."

As the administrator of Heaven, Anthony's source of information was much better than Maria's.

By contrast, since the first Eastern Expedition, Maria was more of a part-time hacker who accepted orders in Heaven for monetary gain.

“Well... then what should we do?" asked Maria.

Anthony had confided in her, so he must already have a detailed plan. She just needed to cooperate.

“There is a bit of information about the second Eastern Expedition that

I have." Anthony paused for a moment.

“Empire believes that if they want to break through the defense system we set up during the first Eastern Expedition, then they have to try to break it down from the inside."

The inside?

A cold light glistened through Maria's eyes.

Anthony continued, “Empire is in the process of using various methods to contact and bribe high-end white hat hackers to be their spies for the second Eastern Expedition."

It was indeed a great idea.

If they succeeded, a small leak could sink a great ship.
