34. Stella

Inside a mansion.

"Brother, what should we do?" a man in his twenties asked his older brother.

"It was too sudden. Our big brother has kept his condition a secret. If only he told us a long time ago about his illness, then these things did not even happen", the older brother said in a low voice, his eyes became watery and red.

Sigh.

These two brothers experienced their big brother's death. Their family, the Costales family, is an influential and rich family in the city of San Francisco.

But only few people knows of their secret.

Lino Costales, the family head of the Costales family died two days ago because of his illness.

Now, his two brothers are the ones managing the affairs of the family. Actually, Lino is a druglord. His web of connections spread as far as the nearby provinces and cities around San Francisco.

Although his two brothers are the ones managing his business now, it can't be avoided that there will be some problems.

Lino's influence even scared the police.

"Brother, how about big brother's money? Shouldn't we use it now?"

"No. For now, let it stay in the bank. Big brother's wealth is the result of his hard work and patience. We can't afford to lose much now."

"Soon, some of his friends will surely come today to visit us. It is hard, but life must go on brother."

*******

Carla just finished her lunch when she received a shocking information when she opened her phone.

"Dead? That Lino guy is dead?"

She looked up to the sender, and saw that it was from one of her friend in computer hacking. That friend, together with their secret teacher helped Carla to become an expert on the fields of computer and software programming.

Carla even made a name for herself in the world of cyber battle: Stella, a new rising secret hacker that was rumored to leave any bank accounts empty. But she was also known to target only those who are wicked and evil, so she made quite a nice reputation for herself.

"Should I do it?"

As far as Carla can remember, she made her last move a year ago, when she had stolen a large amount of money from a wicked politician. Now, Carla's bank account has a large sum of money. It can be said that she is a wealthy person.

This is actually a secret she kept from everyone. Only her teacher and friend knows it, but her secret teacher died a long time ago, so she continued the legacy.

Night time came and Carla opened her other computer in her room in her dorm. She owned a two personal computers: the first one is her laptop which she uses in school, and the other one was her teacher's computer laptop.

She opened it and decided to make a move again. Going through several hidden programs and inputting complicated codes, she gained access to the thing she was looking for.

Carla smirked.

"Hmmm, too easy.... Oh?"

She was elated when she saw the amount of money saved by Lino Costales.

Executing some complicated commands and techniques, her work was finished.

"Hmm, my savings now should be bigger than the richest people here in the city", she was satisfied as the completion of the transfer was done.

Whew.

In the future, the druglord's two brothers will surely shed blood as their tears upon discovering what happened.

For Carla, or should say, Stella, she is not worried at all. Almost no one should track her and find about about her identity. She is doing it for her family and group, and in the future, she will tell them about her work.

😑😑.
