Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 289 Top Hackers League

After a long absence, George showed up with a laptop in hand. He sat across from Violetaleta and told her some news. "Violeta, have you logged into the dark web lately?"

"No, I've been busy filming. Why?"

"The dark web has lifted your bounty and even established a Top Hackers League. You're ranked first."

"What?"

Violeta was stunned and asked, "I'm first."

To be honest, Violeta didn't consider her hacking skills to be invincible. She just hadn't encountered anyone better yet. Aside from that, she didn't intend to mix with the underworld. She wanted to live a clean life, not end up as a criminal.

Why get involved when there is a bright future ahead?

As a result, Violeta was shocked to rank first.

It must have been because of that incident where she used a utility knife to threaten those people.

"Don't be so surprised. Where's the key?"

Key?

Thinking back, Violeta remembered that the key had accidentally fallen, and Tuna had swallowed it while she was playing with it.

Later, she had the servants monitor Tuna's bowel movements to retrieve the key.

The servant was not aware of its significance. After finding it, he placed it on Violeta's desk.

Now the key had been retrieved and placed separately.

There were only three keys that controlled all the data servers on the dark web. At that moment, she grabbed one of the keys and instructed the five elderly men to remove the bounty from the dark web before she could return it.

Half a year had passed, and no one had contacted Violeta.

Now, George had come to ask for the key.

The key itself wasn't exceptionally valuable, but it held significant data.

Violeta's mind turned quickly. She cautiously asked, "What key?"

George chuckled and said, "Of course, I am talking about the key to the dark web's server."

Violeta replied, "Is that so? I don't know anything about it."

George said, "Sigh! Come on, I'm telling the truth. They sent me to get it. I've also made it onto the leaderboard. Now I'm making money by accepting some small bounties on the dark web. They knew I was in Quinston, so they asked me to fetch it."

Violeta's eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked, "Proof?"

George smirked and pulled out a wrapped piece of a utility knife blade from his pocket.

That blade...

Violeta instantly recognised it as the one she had used to stab one of the five men's hands.

It seemed George was indeed working for them.

George explained, "They knew you wouldn't easily trust me, so they gave me this. No idea what it's for, but they said you'd trust me after seeing it." Violeta said, "I'll bring it to the library tomorrow. I don't have it on me right now."

George nodded. "Alright."

"But Violeta, you're incredible. Out of the three keys, you managed to take one. The bounty was lifted too. How did you do it?"

Violeta raised her eyes slightly and said, "That's a secret. Just take the key tomorrow and leave me out of it."

George agreed, "Got it. I won't disturb your studies anymore. Drop by the inte cafe sometime."

"Sure."

The next day, Violeta handed George the key and closed that chapter.

Four days later, the final exam began.

Violeta left the exam room and went to the counsellor's office.

Just like in her previous life, the counsellor had a soft spot for Violeta She gave her a heads-up about a historical drama crew coming to the school to select an actress who could perform ballet.

"I think this role suits you. Even though you might not be interested after working with Mr. Howell, it's still a lead role. If you have time, you should practice ballet for another opportunity."

Violeta said, "Thank you, counsellor."

She was grateful that the counsellor, just like in her previous life, could give her this information in advance.

Although she had already filmed 'The Quiet Ode' in this life, she didn't look down on this role.

"I'll prepare seriously."

The counsellor patted Violeta's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "I have high hopes for you!"

However, they never expected that while the counsellor was revealing this news to Violeta in the office, Zelena was standing right outside by the wall.

She had heard every word of the conversation between the counsellor and Violeta clearly.

A lead role as the Flajan best dancer?

And a lead role at that.

It's a great role, and the counsellor wants to give it to Violeta.

Zelena had come to deliver a fire safety manual to the office, but she accidentally overheard their conversation. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have known that the. counsellor held Violeta in such high regard.

She kept all the good opportunities for Violeta.

Why?

Since the lead role was open for public auditions, it was a fair game for everyone.

Violeta had already gotten a role in Wade's web series. What right did she have to hog another debut-worthy role?

Zelena was exasperated, and her expression contorted due to her rage.

Hattie and Violeta had projects. I'm the only one without one!

She was determined to secure the role of the Flajan dancer.

Hayden returned from Newham to take exams and submit his thesis.
