Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1375 [Eleven Jewell]

Carter fiddled with the motherboard for a while and then looked up confidently. ’I believe I can recover this,” he said.

Lena was elated. “How long do you think it will take?”

“About an hour, give or take,” Carter replied.

Upon hearing this, Benjamin could not contain his skepticism. “An hour? You’re quite confident, aren’t you? Even our top tech expert, Mr. Everhart, wouldn’t dare claim he can recover data in an hour. You must be joking.”

Malcolm Everhart was the renowned tech expert who had been temporarily reassigned to another bureau to aid in a different case.

Benjamin was the second most skilled technician in the department after him. However, with Malcolm overseeing everything, he had limited opportunities to prove himself.

When the murder case came up, Benjamin thought it was finally his moment to shine. But unexpectedly, Lena brought in an outsider, who confidently claimed he could do it in an hour.

‘This young man appears to be inexperienced and naive.

What is he thinking?’ thought Benjamin. As soon as he spoke up, other colleagues joined in, doubting that Carter’s words were just mere boasts.

“An hour? Even the best tech experts in the country wouldn’t dare to make such a claim.”

“Right? He seems ignorant.”

“Where did Dr. Gray find this guy?”

“I think he’s her partner. I saw them hugging at the entrance.”

“I see. This must be some sort of favoritism.”

“Who knew that Dr. Gray was a romantic, huh? She always seems so serious.”

Lena was growing frustrated with all the skepticism. She furrowed her brows and sternly said, “We won’t know what he’s capable of unless we give him a chance, Mr. Thorne. I don’t think it’s fair to judge someone solely based on appearances or qualifications.”

Benjamin maintained his air of superiority. “I understand that you’re eager to solve this case since you’re the one who came upon the evidence, Dr. Gray. But we can’t rush things like this. Bringing in someone who knows nothing about data recovery is just a waste of our time. What if something goes wrong? You’re being selfish, Dr. Gray.”

Lena was about to respond when Carter grabbed her wrist and stopped her. She hesitated and decided to refrain from speaking.

Carter looked at Benjamin indifferently and uttered, “Lena is seeking justice for the deceased. She’s not doing this for personal gain. At least she’s taking action, unlike some people who cannot perform even the simplest tasks while they use their credentials to intimidate others.”

Benjamin was taken aback by Carter’s words. He turned red with anger and said, “You sure know how to run your mouth, you arrogant brat! Let’s see what you’re capable of!”

Carter glanced at him in disdain and said, “Stand aside and watch. Maybe you’ll learn something.”

The crowd gasped in astonishment. Though Benjamin was not as skilled as Malcolm, he was still a nationally renowned tech expert. For Carter to say those words to him was beyond audacious.

Initially, Lena’s colleagues assumed Carter was all talk, especially since he was younger than them. However, their perceptions were soon shattered. Those in the tech field watched in disbelief as Carter began his operation.

Benjamin’s expression also changed from contempt to shock when he saw what Carter was doing.

Carter remained composed, his fingers swiftly typing on the keyboard. Everyone was tensely staring at the computer screen while he seemed at ease. After a while, he pressed the final key, and all of Walter’s data was spread across the screen.

“Done,” he said as the crowd looked at him, stunned.

A few staff members checked the time and found that Carter had taken slightly over half an hour to recover the data, proving that he had been modest about his abilities earlier.
