Chapter 44 - The phantom hackers
Leo and Elena didn't rely on the federal authorities or international cyber-security firms to save them. They contacted the deep, hidden network of the global underworld that Luca had quietly cultivated decades ago. They summoned an elite, ghost-like squad of brilliant, entirely untraceable hackers to the Chicago penthouse. They transformed the subterranean safe room into a high-tech, military-grade command center. For forty-eight agonizing hours, the air was thick with tension as the heirs worked seamlessly alongside the seasoned operatives. The lead hacker analyzed the incoming data, reflecting the harsh blue glow of the massive monitors. He discovered that the Aegis Council was routing their attacks through a decentralized satellite network above international waters. But their primary viral algorithm had a microscopic flaw, relying entirely on a centralized physical server for authentication. The heirs stood behind him, their presence radiating an immovable, absolute authority. They ordered the team to find that physical server. They weren't just going to block the virus; they were going to burn the entire digital infrastructure to the ground.
