Chapter: 1680
Some martial arts families were dealt with, beginning with the Barnes family.
There had been a profound shake-up within the world of martial arts.
The Smith family from Broome and the Wilson family from Sheffield were both invited to become members of the martial arts world.
In the Jenkins family in Broome, there was also a major change as the family had a new leader.
Reliable information indicated that Mrs. Jenkins who was asked to run the Jenkins family, was actually a pawn planted by a foreign force several years ago.
Through lies and deception, Mrs. Jenkins slowly gained the trust of the whole Jenkins family temporarily. When the previous master of the Jenkins family got seriously injured, she tricked him into writing a will to make her the new master of the family.
Just like that, the power and assets of the Jenkins family were entrusted to Mrs. Jenkins. For twenty years, she had been the head of the Jenkins family. Only recently have the Jenkins family regained the power and assets they had given to Mrs. Jenkins. When people heard this huge news, they were all shocked and couldn't help but sigh.
As for the world of networks, Empire had received the order from its leader, Octavian, to launch an all-out attack against Highwyn's networks.
Such an attack was dangerous for all parties involved. Both sides would need to establish a channel of communication to fight and defend themselves. Since Empire launched the attack, its network would be vulnerable because its network location would be exposed.
If the attack failed, Heaven could attack Empire through the communication channel.
However, the hackers of Empire were not worried. They trusted their leader. For Octavian to issue such an order, he must be confident to win the war.
Alas, the reality was quite different.
At the appointed time, Empire launched the attack on Highwyn's networks. However, it seemed that they had fallen straight into a trap set by Heaven.
In an instant, Empire hackers found themselves helpless. When they tried to contact their leader Octavian to get his orders so that they could reverse the situation, they were unable to reach him. It was as if Octavian had disappeared from the face of the earth.
The fight between Empire and Heaven was fierce and lasted all night.
But in the end, it was Heaven who emerged victorious.
"This is an important victory for us. We have won the network security for at least the next fifty years!" Heaven publicly announced this exciting good news.
Meanwhile, people quickly noticed some not-so-good news. Heaven's two best hackers, M and Night, announced their retirement at the same time and handed over all their passes to Judy who was now Heaven's new administrator.
Half a year passed.
“Anthony, do you think there is really no risk if Maria has a re-transplant of the heart that was removed from her chest more than twenty years ago? I mean... Maria's original heart has been taken into Barbara's body for so long..."
Worry was written all over Julie's face. She covered her face with one hand as she spoke. As she did so, the delicate diamond ring on her ring finger became visible.
Anthony looked at Julie with a smile and said softly, “Are you worried that her body might reject the heart? You need not to worry about that. No matter how long the heart was used by someone else, it was her own heart. Relax."
"Alright." Julie finally showed a relieved smile.
"By the way, I think Maria and you should have your wedding ceremony first. I'm already old. I... I'm not in a hurry..."
