Ahhhh! Diana shouted, afraid of the dark. She moved her hand around, hoping to grab something, when Ricardo carefully placed his arm around her.
It's okay, don't be scared. I'm here. He tried to calm her down.
Ricardo, why is this happening to us? She sobbed again.
Don't worry, I have informed the security team. They will deal with this. Soon this problem will be solved. He reassured her.
Yes, he had employed the best security system and guards in the place. Most of his employees were ex-soldiers. They were well-trained for such a scenario.
Not long after, from the side of the wall, a red light was emitted and it formed several small skull patterns.
What the hell is going on!? Diana was horrified. The small skulls moved, slowly at first, but eventually became faster, and they formed one large skull in the wall.
Before the two of them could process what was happening, they heard a notification from the security device.
System turned on. Not long after, the light and audio of the room returned to normal. Ricardo could finally see what was happening clearly. Their smart butler robot, Wilson 006, was leaning against the wall. The skull was projected from one of his built-in projector services.
Ricardo was shocked. For something like that to happen, one needed to send an order or input a command on his system. It was when he realized someone had hacked him.
But how was it possible? Wilson 006 was one of their best butler robots. His programming was flawless in every way, but someone had done something to him.
Wilson 006, tell me, who inputted this new command to you? He asked, referring to the skull lighting on the wall.
Sorry, you are speaking to Wilson 009. I am the new generation of Wilson 006.
Yes, something was definitely wrong with him. I am here to congratulate you on my owner's behalf. Your security and home systems have been successfully hacked by him.
Shut up! Return the system to normal, or I'm going to dissect you and dispose of all of your machines! He threatened.
As expected, the threat was useless against a machine like him.
Ricardo, what's going on!? Diana was freaking out. Things were getting more and more abnormal. Ricardo was equally panicked. He rushed toward his computer and typed in some code words on his computer to check his home and security data.
Much to his dismay, the robot was right. When he tried to check the smart home and the company's security system, he found programming that shouldn't be there. They had been hacked. His system was designed and maintained by a top security team. Breaching into it in the first place should be impossible.
Dammit! Who did it!? Ricardo tried his best to undo the programming and reset the system back to its default mode, but he failed miserably. As he was trying to retrieve his system back, the skull on the wall started laughing. Wilson 009 laughed alongside him.
Ricardo, let's just get out of here. This is creeping me out! Diana pleaded. She was completely frightened at that point.
If you want to go, you can go first. I need to solve this problem. He replied. He was so fully concentrating on the matter that Diana couldn't help but stop crying. She never saw him that serious in her life.
Who has the audacity to do this? She wondered, biting her tongue. On the other side of the city, Rose had completely fallen asleep, and the three children were left on their own in their baby's room. Rose would never guess it. Instead of sleeping, the babies were wide awake, dealing with their next plan.
The three babies watched as Ricardo panicked through their laptop screen.
Yes, it was all their plan. The system was hacked by them. This time, the mastermind was Eric. Just like his father and siblings, he was born a genius. At a young age, he learned to code and create computer systems.
When he was four, he had become a notorious hacker. Of course, he never did any actual crime serious enough to get tracked by the government, but his skill was not to be underestimated.
Eric knew his father, Ricardo, was so proud of his security system, including the Wilson line of robots. He must not expect this kind of attack to happen.
Hah, serve him right!
He knew soon enough Ricardo would be so furious and tried to track it down. That's why Eric had prepared things in advance. He was right.
Ricardo was so annoyed by this hacking, he entered a group chat with hackers and started throwing tantrums. He took a picture of the damaged screen and sent it to the group.
Which one of you dared to hack my system? He asked. Eric saw the message and pressed his lips together. His little fingers started tapping on the keyboard.
That's a little lesson for you. He replied, using the nickname "Demon Son", which he thought was fitting.
As soon as the message was sent, the entire group chat blew up. Other hackers started sending messages as well.
Darth_Hacker: Ah, I didn't think someone would have the courage to finally do it.
SilentShadow178: if your system can be hacked it means you're not careful enough.
Blueprint_crack: Gosh, he must be so pissed right now.
Some were in support of him, some criticized him. Yet none of those actually mattered to Eric and his siblings. He just wanted to get back to his father.
Ricardo ignored all the other noises, quickly tapped on Demon Son's profile and found out he was using a number that didn't even exist.
He couldn't track where the number came from. Most hackers there were cautious, but this guy was on another level.
However, he recognized that he had previously seen the account before, and they didn't have any problem with each other.
Ricardo thought he should confront him right away. He messaged the account.
Who are you? Why are you doing this to me? He asked.
Eric was about to reply when Evan tapped him on the shoulder.
Just give me the phone, I will reply to him. Reply to him. Eric nodded and handed the phone to his brother.
Evan saw the chat screen and started typing.
I am your son. The reason why I'm doing this to you is because you owe me five years of child care fund!
