26 Project Overwatch

This was also a message to the government. And not just the Empire. Every government out there would want to pay attention to Xtreme Companies.

The government was already paying attention to him. The threat earlier might have made the higher-ups dissatisfied and it would not be strange to have some petty dudes trying to put him in his place.

They might even know about his Email service, and they would be the first to link the apps to him.

This would tell them many things, including that his threat was not a joke.

Imagine having those apps running on those devices.

It would be best to take the threat seriously rather than take chances.

The threat aside, it also told them that he had the capabilities they needed to set up their cybercafe.

The feat of obtaining all those apps was not small.

And it was all well-timed.

Only a few hours have passed since Lu Fan sent those agents away and this happened.

This was the most important message.

And to put it even more out there, even software made in the empire were put up. some of this software were used for sensitive subjects. While they did not reach the national level, they were still sensitive.

And who is to say that after 24 hours, Lu Fan would not go nuts and upload the really good stuff?

This move was dangerous, but now, everyone had to be careful.

They also had to protect the information about Xtreme Companies for as long as possible.

In the first place, the company was set up as a shell. Only to be linked to Xtreme Email Services later.

It was meant to hide his identity.

He was sure that there were still records linking it to him, but how many people could access it?

And with this new situation, it'd be surprising if foreign governments ever knew that the company belonged to him.

The most they could know is that there were servers that were spread around that belonged to us.

But even that is useless. With MIA's current processing power, she could handle all that work alone. And that was without counting the fact that she could borrow some servers that were underused for her purposes.

As for tracking her, good luck with that. Even Lu Fan wasn't sure if he could do it if he only used the original devices before the system appeared.

In a dimly lit room, several men clad in suits were silent with solemn faces.

At the head of the table was a woman with a serious expression and the cold air around her would keep even the most confident of men away.

This was Agent X or Han Zi Xuan.

Her position was rather awkward at the moment.

Raised in an imperial household, she had always gotten what she wanted. From a young age, anything she asked for, would be prepared.

Many of the Disney parks were largely linked to her demands as she would always ask to go to a different one when she got bored with another.

And when she grew out of it, she became obsessed with spy and agent movies.

It would not be far to say that she was a full-blown Otaku. And it influenced her greatly.

Unlike others who had to be raised to be ladylike, she got away as she was the youngest granddaughter of the prime minister and was highly doted on.

In the end, she deemed that just watching would not be enough and wanted to become one. And she did.

Her background aside, she excelled in her training and exercises.

Her intellect was also there, getting herself first place in all fields except for missions.

While she did surprisingly well in combat training, there was a huge difference between training and actual combat.

Nobody would risk sending her on a mission lest they incur her family's wrath.

Her grandfather aside, she still had 3 older brothers who did exceptionally well in politics, business, and the military.

Heck, her whole family had a hand throughout the country.

But not wanting to rely on her family, she set out to make a name for herself. And due to many 'coincidences' she was put in charge of Project Overwatch.

Project Overwatch was meant to take control of systems all over the empire and monitor external threats that might lead to the collapse of the economy.

It was as simple as that. But who was she?

If she did not blow it out of proportion, would she still be the little princess of the Han family?

And she did just that. From the name of the project to the names of the agents, she changed everything.

If you didn't know what they were doing, you'd think that they were the most secretive team in the nation.

But that was also not far from the truth.

Almost half of the people in the room were there to ensure her safety. As for the collapse of the economy and whatnot, let the Ministry of Commerce worry about it.

They were just here to play house with the little princess till she came of age to marry and pass the problem to someone else.

But her play might have gone overboard this time and she might have opened Pandora's box.

Right now, they are holding a meeting to discuss their way forward. But that was also just keeping her company.

All she knew was that Lu Fan had refused their offer and issued a threat. As for the other things, they had already been taken over by the people above.

All those gadgets that were brought had already been taken to some secret institution for research. But the situation got out of hand just a few minutes ago.

Just because they were keeping the princess company did not mean that they were not working. Just a few minutes ago, they got the news that some website called Xtreme App Store had gone online with every application in the world.

The most shocking thing was that all of them were free.

What alarmed them was the name. They knew only one person who could use such a name.
