Now sitting with the new computer in front of him, Christian felt different from before. There was no excitement or anticipation, nor the slight worry that something could go wrong and he should be caution.
This time, Christian was filled with apprehension at what he might discover.
But, despite all these complex emotions, Christian didn't hesitate and started right away. He had decided to hack the police site long ago and had plenty of time to think about this decision. So, there was no way he would back out, chickening, at the final moment.
After taking some time to gain access to the police data base, though not deep enough to reach the most confidential things, Christian still made an unexpected discovery.
As he began using advanced program hacking along with his previous experience in advanced trading, Christian reached a conclusion: despite the world's current level of development allowing someone to achieve a certain level of advanced programming skill, which seemed the maximum level was capped at two, or perhaps three or four if he included some unpublished knowledge from certain companies.
However, when it came to whether anyone out there had truly that much of advanced program hacking skills, it was debatable. In fact, there might be no one in the world who could achieve it. No one but him would compile all the available information and study it as systematically, and methodically as he did.
So, he was probably already among the best in both trading and program hacking.
But even with all of that bragging, when faced with such a massive site, vast database, and complex security program, Christian came to another conclusion. While he had the quality of skill, the sheer quantity and complexity of the security program made it difficult, despite knowing he could hack his way through in the end.
If he wanted to stay undetected, he wouldn't be able to access all the information. His processing speed simply wasn't fast enough, so he would have to be satisfied with less for now.
Despite everything Christian discovered while hacking, he didn't waver in his concentration. He continued as before, knowing there was no need to obsess over getting all the information at once. He could always go all the way another time.
After all, it was his first time, and it could even be considered a trial run.
Finally, reaching a point where he couldn't proceed any further if he wanted to exercise utmost caution in his hacking, Christian decided to stop and then let out a breath.
It was a stressful operation, but fortunately, nothing went wrong.
Christian having now access to good amount of confidential information in front of him, he didn't go out of his way, and started looking for strange incidents for his safe security or the like.
With access to a substantial amount of confidential information in front of him, Christian didn't go out of his way and began searching for any unusual incidents that could compromise his security or something similar.
But with a hardened and resolute gaze, he began searching for the names of his parents.
He searched for details about the hit-and-run incident, the full truth of which he still didn't know!
Christian had always buried the accident his parents faced deep in the folds of his memory, preferring not to think too much about it. As aside from reopening painful memories for his sister and himself, nothing would change.
Even after he acquired his Idle system, he still tried not to think much, as he didn't want to consider certain possibilities, and he felt that making his life more stable was more important at that stage.
Christian had a firm belief, that living people were always more important than the dead. While some might hold a different opinion, with some even calling his way of thinking wrong or labeling it with other negative terms.
He still begged to differ; after all, he and his sister were just normal citizens like many others "before," so what could they do?
And while the incident of his parents' passing left him in shock and marked his childhood, he was still a child back then and understood too little about the situation.
So, while still grieving with his sister over what happened to their parents, one time, he still remembered when the police had visited them and how his sister became angry at them.
At that time, because he didn't understand much, or perhaps out of consideration for his sister, in the end, he didn't ask her why.
Christian was no longer sure about the reason, but he knew that by the time he understood everything perfectly, he chose not to ask his sister anymore.
While his parents held a special place in his heart and were very important to him, his sister equally occupied an important place, or perhaps she was even more important, so in the end, he decided not to ask.
So, now with the Idle system and all kinds of skills as his arsenal, and after addressing the issues he considered problems for his sister and himself, he now wanted to resolve his past guilt and cowardice.
Christian wanted to face the past; he wanted to properly mourn his parents and then move on with his life, without any regrets.
After reaffirming his resolve again, Christian looked at the results in front of him. He looked at the confidential level of the report, which he had barely managed to access.
And his bad feeling couldn't have been any stronger.
Still, after coming this far, it was impossible for him to stop now.
So, with a not so calm emotions, he opened the report, which, after a quick glance, seemed very short for an incident involving the death of two people.
Christian read the content carefully and slowly, and by the time he finished, he couldn't help but feel an immense rage bubbling inside him.
For him, who had no friends and considered very few things important in his life, the things revealed had that much of effect against him.
