Chapter 47 - The Critical Look for Shadow Strike

Horizon Tech's gleaming glass walls resembled a delicate shell that was always under siege rather than a stronghold. The cyberattacks had progressed from minor annoyances to a systemic attack that was destroying vital infrastructure and draining the business of its resources. The vast empire Liang Chen was destined to inherit was in danger of collapsing with every new breach, which was like a digital knife that kept twisting deeper. The enemy remained a faceless, formless phantom, moving with an unsettling precision that defied every known defense, despite the heroic efforts of his cybersecurity team, which was brilliant but exhausted.

The enormity of the crisis was bearing down on Liang Chen. Normally quick-witted and decisive, his strategic mind now had to contend with an invisible foe that defied traditional warfare. Relying on conventional corporate security measures was like bringing a knife to a gunfight, it became glaringly obvious. They required a unique individual who worked outside the bounds of authorized cybersecurity. Desperate to survive, his mind started to wander to the rumored underworld of the digital world, to the mystery that was only known as Shadow Strike.

He called his always capable secretary, Wu Tianyu, and gave the extraordinary order. "Find Shadow Strike," Liang Chen said, his voice tight with grim determination and a hint of urgency. "I don't give a damn about their history or methods. All that matters to me is that they are the best. Wu Tianyu, used to impossible tasks, got to work right away, making use of every covert connection and accessing every secret network. Dead ends, false leads, and the frustrating reality of chasing a ghost were all part of the exhausting search.

The pursuit of Shadow Strike turned into a singular, all-consuming mission for Liang Chen. His family's legacy and the future of Horizon Tech depended on locating this one person. He wasn't searching for another specialist; he was searching for a digital miracle worker, the renowned person whose incredible achievements were discussed in awe. Finding Shadow Strike was the last, desperate hope for stability in his chaotic world; it was a singular focus that overshadowed all other worries.
