Paid To Care, Destined To Conquer Novel

Chapter 466 Sebastian Should've Died Long Ago Haliville. When the SWAT team kicked open the door to the rundown apartment, Ryan was using a loophole to wreak havoc in the stock market. Hearing the commotion outside, he quickly switched the screen, turned around with an innocent look, and gave a quick blink. "Uncle, did I do something wrong?" "Hey, what are you doing?" Sophia shouted. Ryan was the one keeping the whole family afloat. If anything happened to him, how were they supposed to survive? "Take him away!" he ordered. The leader ignored Sophia completely.

Five-year-old Ryan was immediately taken away, and they grabbed the computer tower too. They came and went like a whirlwind. Sophia's face went ghostly pale. The stench of urine filled the living room. Carlos, paralyzed from a stroke, was so terrified by the SWAT team that he wet himself on the spot, soaking the floor. She'd had enough. With a surge of determination, Sophia pried open Ryan's locked drawer, searched through everything, and once she found the bank cards and all the cash, she rushed back to her room to pack her bags. "Don't blame me for being ruthless, Carlos!" she spat.

With that, she left Carlos sitting in his wheelchair, filthy and reeking, and stormed out the door without looking back. "Ugh... ugh..." Carlos struggled, reaching out with trembling hands, but with a heavy crash, both he and his wheelchair slammed to the floor. He stared at the tightly shut door, eyes brimming with nothing but despair. The Special Crimes Unit in Jaffina was awake late into the night. The bright overhead lights shone down on Ryan's small, frightened face. He looked every bit the scared five- year-old, with a burger meal in front of him.

He nervously reached for the Coke, took a sip, and glanced around, lost and unsure why he'd been brought to this place. The door swung open from the hallway. "You?" Ryan's eyes widened in shock. Stella pulled out a chair, casually tossed her laptop onto the table, and sat down lazily across from him. She reached up and switched off the surveillance cameras in the room. Seeing this, Ryan's gaze grew cold. "It was you who ordered Lion to attack the people at the designated hospital," she said. She leaned back in her chair, her posture coldly elegant. Ryan smiled innocently.

"Stella, I really don't know what you're talking about." Stella raised an eyebrow. "You also helped hackers from abroad break into the Haliville Airport Control Tower." (Related main chapter: Chapter 368) "Stella, are you out of your mind? I'm only five!" Ryan protested. Ryan retorted with a sly, mocking tone. 1/3 Successfully unlocked! Chapter 466 Sebastian Should've Died Long Ago Suddenly, Stella smirked. She flipped open her laptop with one hand, and as soon as the screen lit up, a jet- black window popped up.

The moment Ryan saw what was on it, his smile froze, twisting into something dark and sinister. Outside the one-way glass, the head of the Special Crimes Unit and several top brass stood beside Sebastian, all frowning. "Is he really only five?" one of them muttered. Sebastian didn't say a word. His gaze was deep and unreadable. Inside the room, Stella typed "King" right in front of Ryan. The eternal King of the Hacker Leaderboard. The screen changed instantly. Ryan stared in shock, blurting out, "You're King!" 'Wait, King is a woman?' Ryan's mind was blown.

Stella didn't even bother to answer, her fingers flying over the trackpad. "L, is that you?" She shot him a cool, unreadable glance. Ryan didn't say anything. All traces of childish innocence vanished. The five-year-old sitting there looked like a little devil, his eyes cold and impossible to read as he stared at Stella. "Just who the hell are you, really?" After saying that, Ryan picked up his Coke, took a sip through the straw, and sneered, "Sebastian? He should' ve been dead long ago!" His words landed like a bolt from the blue.

The leaders outside the one-way glass all sucked in a breath, instinctively glancing at Sebastian. But Sebastian's face didn't show a single flicker of emotion. His coldness was chilling to the bone. "Lucas should've died too," Ryan said with a wicked grin, his words laced with pure malice. "But they're both still alive." Ryan leaned in close, fluttering his lashes at Stella in mock innocence. "Such a pity!" Stella's lashes flickered. "So, are you a time traveler?" Ryan bared his teeth in a sly grin. "Maybe I am." In his previous life, he didn't die in the fire.

Conrad rushed in just in time and pulled him out, but his face was horribly burned. Even after Conrad took him all the way to Monterra, they could only restore about 30% of the damage. Every day, he lived like something out of a nightmare, caught between human and ghost. Ironically, that twist of fate ended up teaching Ryan the art of hacking. "So, you knew all along..." Stella leaned in, mirroring his posture. Their eyes met, both icy cold. "Conrad is your real father!" Ryan cackled like a little demon. "Too bad, the plot's totally different now.

Ever since Lucas survived, nothing's the same anymore!" He said. Everything felt like it was slipping out of his control. He was supposed to be the one who'd seen the future, the one who knew all the secrets, but in the end, fate just laughed in his face and played another cruel trick on him. "You want to know why Lucas refuses to speak?" Ryan asked, his eyes gleaming with twisted satisfaction. On a five-year-old's face, that look was downright chilling. "Because ever since I was little, I loved showing him.

"He'd tremble in fear. So pitiful!" he said. Outside the one-way glass, a fist smashed into it, leaving a web of cracks spreading across the surface. Crimson blood dripped steadily from Sebastian's fingers, pooling on the floor. But nobody dared to come any closer. Stella's gaze turned icy, her eyes locking onto Ryan with a chill that could freeze fire.

She curled her lips into a mocking smirk, not even bothering to look at the keyboard as her slender fingers danced across it with effortless speed. In seconds, alarms blared from the laptop, shrill and relentless. "Wow, so Monterra's national system is really this flimsy?" she taunted, her voice low and dripping with sarcasm. Ryan's head snapped toward the screen on instinct. A glaring red alert kept flashing, sirens wailing. The grin on his face died instantly; his own hacker tag was right there on the display, exposed for all to see. "You..." Ryan blurted, shooting to his feet.

The special mini handcuffs on his wrists clanged together with a sharp metallic crash. "Just thirty seconds ago, a hacker called 'L' dropped a bunch of nasty commands into Monterra's national system, crashed the whole infrastructure, and threw the world into total chaos," Stella said. She smiled, but her deep amber eyes gave nothing away. "Even the newest top-secret weapons got hit," she added, her tone sharp as a knife. Ryan's nostrils flared, and he started breathing hard as he figured out her plan.

"No, you can't..." "You're only five, so yeah, I can't really do much to you, and Clusia's laws can't touch you either," Stella said, copying Ryan's earlier innocent look. Her long lashes fluttered as her words came out cold as ice. "But if this blows up into an international mess, that's a whole different story." She tapped the Enter key with a flourish. She was the one who taught Killer Whale how to throw the trouble elsewhere in the first place.

"Monterra just loves experimenting on little prodigy brains like yours," Stella stared straight at Ryan, her face cold and unreadable, fingers drumming a steady, icy beat on the table. Ryan's eyes started to glaze over. "I'm a reincarnator. I know the future," Ryan said, his voice cool and confident. Stella smirked, slipping into Ryan's signature taunting style as she fired off a provocation to Monterra's frazzled cybersecurity team overseas: [Catch me if you can!] Signature: L 3/3 Subscribed 2 Likes Chapter 467 How did I die?
