Chapter 439 The Virus That Shook Cyperia ས%,57%;
Finished Earlier, she had skimmed through the files that came in. They were packed with highâlevel intel, but none of it involved Cyperia.
But now? The files had taken a suspicious turn.
Hackers usually traded data through specialized underground networks.
Olivia had already sorted through the first batch and was about to offload them for saleâwhen this mess showed up.
Looking at the stack of blatantly treasonous documents, Olivia calmly pulled up her Super Shredder.
The filming of Legacy of the Dynasty was going well. Since it was an ensemble drama, Oliviaâs role as the female lead didnât mean she had to be on set all the time. Skipping a few days here and there didnât slow things down.
âA few days ago, I had the editor start cutting together a rough preview from what weâve already filmed. The series isnât finished yet, but if we get a sample reel approved early, itâll save us time later,â Zayn explained, finally catching Olivia.
Olivia waved a hand dismissively. âYouâre the expert, Zayn. Just handle it however you see fit.â
Her total handsâoff approach made Zayn feel both amused and exasperated.
But at the same time, he was touched. Olivia had trusted him to handle the entire productionâsomething most people in the industry wouldnât dare to do. That alone made him more determined to make sure this drama turned out amazing.
âThis isnât something I can just decide alone,â Zayn insisted. âActually, I just heard from the editor this morning. They pulled several allânighters, and the sample cut is finally done. Since youâre finished filming for the day, come watch it with me. If it looks good, Iâll send it for review this afternoon.â
Olivia hadnât planned on goingâuntil she heard Zayn add, âI hired a topâtier editing team to speed things up. Theyâre normally fully booked, and I had to pull some stringsâand spend a lot of moneyâto get them to fit us in.â
Olivia narrowed her eyes. âHow much?â
Zayn held up a number.
Olivia nearly choked.
Zayn, are you burning money for fun?
âYou spent that much just to edit a preview?â
Would it be cheaper if I just did it myself?
Noticing Oliviaâs stunned expression, Zayn quickly jumped in to calm her down, rambling about how incredibly skilled the team was and nameâdropping all the massive blockbusters they had worked on.

He led her straight to Silhouette Studio.
Finished âRelax. This team is as professional as it gets. Once you see the final cut, you wonât think itâs overpriced anymore,â Zayn assured her.
Olivia shot him a look. âAre they going to edit me into a billionâdollar box office hit?â
Zayn instantly shut up.
Just as Olivia was about to see exactly what kind of nextâlevel editing could possibly justify that insane price.
The second Olivia and Zayn stepped into Silhouette Studio, they walked straight into a disaster zone.
âShut it down! Now!â
âSomebody yank the internet cable!â
âNo! Thatâs weeks of work! I havenât slept for daysâStop, you monster!â
The entire thirtyâperson studio was in total meltdown, editors scrambling around in sheer panic.
Amid the chaos, Olivia heard a very familiar background track.
A really bad feeling crept up her spine.
Oliviaâs eyes swept across the Silhouette Studio monitors. On multiple screens, the same horrifying scene was playing out.
A dark, hooded Grim Reaper stood at a door, knocking ominously.
One by one, files were dragged out from the computers, floating helplessly toward the Reaperâs grasp. As soon as he touched them, they withered into dust, their digital remains swept into a growing pile at his feet.
Thenâwithout hesitationâthe Reaper grabbed a shovel, dug a grave right in the middle of the screen, and dumped the remains inside.
All that was left behind... was a tombstone.
Olivia froze.
