Hugo had absolutely no idea what Sloan had done, so he was quite irritated. “What makes you think you can yell at me at home just because you're a minister? It's just a Trojan horse virus. Will it turn the world upside down?”

Frustrated, Herald's chest heaved, and his eyes were filled with rage.

He walked straight toward Hugo with a grim expression, raised his hand, and slapped the latter across the face.

“How dare you speak without any guilt and shame? I tell you, you've turned the world upside down!”

The tight slap left Hugo dazed and a burning sensation on his face.

When Pauline returned from outside and saw her son being slapped by Herald, she immediately strode over in anger and glared at Herald. “What's this all about? Who gave you the right to hit your younger brother?”

Although Martha did not know what had happened, she could tell that the situation was serious.

Hugo lifted his head, totally baffled. “I... I just provided the Trojan horse virus.”

“Why don't you admit your mistake?” Herald was so furious he was about to go mad. He had always had a soft spot for his stepbrother. Even when his stepmother was constantly finding fault with him, Herald never took it to heart.

Apart from being angry, he was extremely disappointed, and that hurt him the most.

“While Lucas is shoving evidence in my face, you're still here making excuses! Can a Trojan horse virus like Panda Adieu be forwarded? How many times have I told you that it must not be leaked? Flying Fish from Mysterious yet Majestic and I are virtual friends, and we share a very precious bond. To help you secure your position in the Department of Information, I insisted that Flying Fish was your online friend. And look, what happened? You're enjoying the convenience and benefits brought by Flying Fish while spreading this Trojan horse virus around!”

Herald was so livid that his entire body trembled.

Herald was so livid that his entire body trembled.

Hugo looked at him intensely. His face was still swollen.

“Did you know that Lucas came for a confrontation? His wife was the one who took care of Panda Adieu. Besides, Flying Fish also called to interrogate me about what was going on, and he wants to cut off ties with me!” Herald was blazing with fury.

It was then that Pauline realized the severity of the issue. It was much more serious than she had imagined. “Flying Fish? Mysterious yet Majestic? What's all this about? What kind of conflict has occurred between Hugo and them?”

Martha was also confused. The older she became, the more challenging it was for her to comprehend the actions and words of young people.

Nevertheless, as the matriarch of a prominent family, she had heard of an organization called Mysterious yet Majestic. Rumor had it that they were an exceptional group.

She then asked Herald anxiously, “Herald, could you please explain what's going on? How did your brother offend Mysterious yet Majestic?”

Hugo's mind was in a complete mess, as if countless balls of yarn were running wild inside.

Didn't I sell it to Sloan? How did I end up stepping on the toes of Mysterious yet Majestic?

“Let him personally explain the great thing he's done!” bellowed Herald.

“Say something, Hugo!” Pauline had always been against the idea of Herald assuming the role as the head of the family. When she first entered the house, she thought it was Herald who bullied her son.

Now, she became very worked up, for Mysterious yet Majestic was not an organization to be trifled with.

After all, the reason why the Cook family was able to establish a firm foothold in Zaewora was because Herald knew Flying Fish. To say they were acquaintances might be an overstatement, as they were merely online friends.

The reason they became online friends was that Flying Fish and Herald graduated from the same school. On one occasion, when Flying Fish returned to school to collect some documents, he encountered some trouble. Herald stepped in to help, and as a result, Flying Fish added him as a contact online.

The Cook family had been benefiting greatly from their connections to Mysterious yet Majestic.

Zaewora was not a developed country; it relied on its neighboring superpowers for survival.

There were several prominent families holding sway in that country. The Cook family's rise to power and their status as the leading family were largely attributed to their connections with Mysterious yet Majestic.
