The Naran Family was anxious, and so did Paul. The young man clicked his tongue impatiently and started to think of a way out.
"None of our spies send useful information? Really?" Paul confirmed the case with his people once more, and his people immediately nodded timidly.
"Yes, young master. At most, we can only enter the front yard but not the mansion. We tried to replace the worker and steal their barcode but…"
"But what?"
"But the barcode changed each shift. We can only steal their phone. Unfortunately, to steal a phone and mimic the worker...it is hard."
After all, once the worker knew that they had lost their phone, they immediately reported it to the Sloan Family, and the barcode sent to their phone instantly entered a blocklist.
This way, no one could misuse the barcode sent to the worker's lost phone!
Paul listened to his secretary's report and felt a headache.
"That baby is really so cautious. I've never heard of anyone using this barcode method...tsk. Their programmers and IT team must be excellent."
Not many mafia families relied on the IT team, unlike non-mafia forces. Thus, it was quite unusual that Ainsley relied on advanced technology to cover up her family's weakness.
Yes, the Sloan Family's weakness was just one. The variety of ability users that they owned as mafia members were too small.
Most of the members were elemental ability users, with some suitable as a scout, assassins, or informant.
However, Ainsley didn't have a priest, a shaman, or another type of ability users, unlike the Naran Family. Thus, Ainsley used technology to fill in her family's weakness!
Paul massaged his temple and let out a sigh.
"If she relied on technology, we should fight her with technology too. How about finding a hacker?" Paul asked his people in the meeting room.
This was an idea that he came up with just now, but he didn't know if it's feasible or not. After all, they couldn't use normal hackers.
They had to use ability users with hackers-related special abilities to leave no way out for the Sloan Family!
If they could hack the Sloan Family's database and steal the mansion's blueprint and other data, that would be the end of the Sloan Family.
They would lose the game even before it started.
Of course, this movement didn't break the rule because the game wasn't a technological war but a siege using military power.
When Paul's subordinates heard his idea, many of them were stunned for a second before quietly whispering among themselves.
"Special hackers...isn't there a hacker guild in our country? We can contact them…"
"Yes, yes, this Guild is small and doesn't have a lot of guild branches, but it should be reliable as an informant."
"I heard that the hacker guild is under the Secret Intelligence Guild…"
"Hmmm, if we can hack the Sloan Family's database, can't we also hack their defensive tools?"
"Those tools aren't connected to AI or the supercomputer. They're operated manually. We can't hack their control."
"Ah, what a pity."
"Still, this idea is good, young master. We should send some hackers to deal with the Sloan Family."
One of the people there immediately spoke to Paul, agreeing with his idea. At first, Paul wasn't so sure, but with his people's support, he became even more confident.
"Good. Find two or three special hackers to hack into the Sloan Family's computer. Make sure that no ordinary IT team can guard against these hackers."
Paul believed that Ainsley's IT team and the programmers were all non-ability users.
Unlike special hackers that had hacker-related abilities, these people were ordinary. How could they fight against the ability users?
The hacker-related ability users could somehow connect their nerves to the internet and control a part of it, just like an AI.
How much control they could have depended on their strength as an ability user.
But ordinary IT teams couldn't easily control the network and couldn't be as fast as the ability users.
Some Ability Users even had a unique ability to produce an AI that could spread internet viruses.
In short, ordinary IT teams should fight against other ordinary IT teams but should never provoke the Ability Users.
With Paul agreeing to the plan, the Naran Family quickly contacted the hacker guild and hired some hackers to steal the Sloan Family's data.
At first, the programmers and IT teams in the Sloan Family didn't notice anything wrong and faithfully supervised the barcode program for the workers and their members.
However, five days before the tournament started, they realised that a lot of the SIoan Family's information was leaked out, and someone was breaching their database!
The IT teams instantly reported this to Ainsley and showed her the data leakage.
"Boss, so far, the intruder steals the data regarding our mafia members' number and their ability lists, plus their biodata."
The leader of the IT team paused before continuing his speech with a voice full of anxiety.
"This intruder also knows about the family app and the barcode program– "
Ainsley gripped her cold tablet tightly before interrupting.
"What about the mansion's blueprint and other information related to our defence?"
The leader halted his words and let out a small sigh.
"Fortunately, the blueprint is hidden with many layers of protection. They haven't breached the protection yet. I have tried to stop the hacker from invading, but…"
The team leader scratched his cheek and spoke in a quiet voice as if embarrassed.
"The hacker is an Ability User. I'm just an ordinary programmer...uh...I'm no match for this intruder."
Ainsley instantly understood what the leader meant.
It means that sooner or later, the hacker would steal their mansion's blueprint unless they hired another special hacker!
