Harry returned to New York at once.
Everything here was peaceful. CtOS's trial run had been a great success. Regardless of public opinion, it had at least greatly improved the city's efficiency.
Now this was getting interesting.
From the surveillance footage, the person who had infiltrated the ctOS server was a strongly built man. He looked like an operations specialist.
He might have thought his actions were well concealed, but ctOS had still captured him on camera once. That was when Aiden set his sights on him.
However, Harry did not have Aiden deal with this agent.
Then Leining discovered that someone had uploaded a program to the server without authorization.
Harry sat in ctOS's control center, where he was currently the only person.
Within the server, Leining clearly sensed unusual fluctuations in electrical levels. That program was copying information and attempting to transmit it outside.
Hydra had written this program into the ctOS server before its trial run. This was their true objective.
A super control system that was about to be rolled out across the entire United States.
If nothing unexpected happened, Hydra would help Osborn promote this thing, because they had already uploaded Dr. Zola's program into the system.
Dr. Zola was Hydra's top scientist, Hydra's equivalent of Howard Stark.

From that perspective, Leining completely countered him. Especially
