When Endiz burst in with a platoon of soldiers, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense. The hostility in Endiz's gaze was obvious for all to see. "Mr White, it's been a long time, actually, well done!", Endiz spoke greeted the elder of the family, and Grandpa White faced him with authority. "Leave the greetings for later, and I was wondering what the significance of this is? Why have you brought so many armed forces to the White family lands?" "That's simple, I'm here to capture the accomplice in the case of profiting from stolen military munitions!", Endiz sneered. "What?", Charles frowned in shock. "What accomplice? You'd better explain yourself.", Everyone except Liana and Edward were surprised by this accusation, and Maitê smiled smugly. This was the end of the White family. She was just waiting for them to come crawling back to her on their knees. Maitê crossed her arms haughtily and watched the events unfold with a smug smile.... Endiz's finger suddenly p
"We'll see about that," Liana maintained her fearlessness. "Endiz, I advise you to leave now before things get ugly for you." "What did you say?", Endiz squinted his eyes full of killing intent. "Liana, you need a better filter...," Ms. Greta tried to stop her. "This is not the time to spout nonsense!" Endiz was not a 'citizen B', irritating him was of no benefit to Liana. "Mrs. White, please don't worry, I'm not talking nonsense. ", Liana replied calmly. "It is my sincere advice to Mr. Endiz that he pack his bags and leave,", Endiz suddenly laughed like a madman before calming down. He leveled a murderous glare at Liana. "Who gave you the nerve to talk to me like that?" "I gave her.", Edward slowly opened his mouth to say. Like Liana, his eyes spoke of the disdain he had for Endiz. "Do you have a problem with that?", Endiz began to laugh wildly again. "Of course I do! Men, stop them both and take them away!", He was waiting to see who else would dare to challenge him. "Anyone
"What's all this? " Elijah picked up some pictures to look at, and his face became more and more drawn. "These are...pictures of people planting military munitions at White Empire Pier?" "What's going on?" Grandpa White also asked out of curiosity, and although they might not understand, the moment Endiz laid eyes on those photos, he understood what they meant... He was in total disbelief, the operation from the night before had been captured on film! When Edward and his family found out about it, how could I have allowed myself to be captured like that? "You seem to be extremely familiar with those pictures. " Observed Liana as she looked directly at him. Endiz raised his eyes from the photos to meet hers, and for some reason saw hatred as well as familiarity in them... However, he was good at faking it, so he revealed nothing in his expression. Instead, he asked coldly. "What are you implying? And what is the meaning of those pictures? What do you think you can get away with f
"I..." Liana wanted to tell him to leave her out of it. He could explain it perfectly well on his own. However, Edward dragged her into the office against her will, where Grandpa White and the rest were already sitting waiting. When the two entered, Grandpa White offered a rare smile. "Quick, sit down and tell us what happened," Edward turned to Liana and said with a curt smile. "This is all thanks to Liana.", The revelation surprised everyone present. Was this Liana's contribution? "What did Liana do?", Greta asked in obvious shock. "Didn't she just wake up? "Her question was not unfounded because it was really hard to believe that a newly recovered patient would solve her biggest problem. It was incredibly hard to believe. "It was Liana who discovered that our enemy would place the stolen ammunition on our pier to further incriminate us. We went to the pier last night and saw everything with our own eyes. The opponent manipulated the surveillance of the pier, but Liana managed
Peter opened the door. He was almost crying when he saw Liana. "Liana, why did you come back so suddenly without telling Uncle first? I would have prepared something to welcome you. How are you feeling? How is your body? Have you recovered?", Peter was so worried about her that Liana didn't know how to answer. She could hear the engine of Edward's car still idling, so she pulled Peter along and said. "Uncle, let's go inside first." "OK!" Peter finally spotted Edward. He waved at him awkwardly in the form of a greeting. Edward nodded back politely, which surprised Peter. He thought Edward was hard to please like most rich presidents, but he didn't seem that way... After they entered the house, Edward finally left. A flurry of questions awaited Liana. She hadn't seen her uncle for a long time, so she missed him very much. Therefore, she answered all his questions patiently. After making sure that she really was feeling better, Peter concluded happily. "It's wonderful that
"Endiz, I heard that the White family has been completely cleared of any suspicion. Has the person responsible for selling stolen military ammunition been caught?", She looked at Endiz and asked cautiously. "Ms. Veronezi is truly an impressive woman for finding that out so quickly. Everything you said is correct.", Endiz narrowed his eyes slightly and went into the tactfulness of the compliment. "The White family sure was lucky to be able to solve that problem so quickly." "That must be all thanks to the Veronezi family's help, right? At the end of the day, it is the Veronezi family, and you were able to solve such a complicated case in such a short period of time. ", Endiz said respectfully, but he was also doing his own test, he wanted to know if the Veronezi family was friend or foe. "This has nothing to do with the Veronezi family. We intended to help the White family after they came to beg us for help, but they blew that chance, and you saw how they treated me this morning.",
Liana had a long rest, and when she woke up, it was already night again. After taking a shower, she went downstairs and found that the house was full, in the living room was Jack with Stevie, as well as her sister and her uncle, Peter, who was the main chef, while the rest helped in the kitchen. When Jack saw Liana, he immediately put his plate on the table and ran up to her to give her a big bear hug. "Sister, welcome! I'm so happy to see you!", Liana was caught and spun around in the air for a few times, she couldn't help but laugh. "That's enough, quick put me down!", she shouted with a giggle. "Yes Madame!" Jack put her down, but kept her giddy. "Sister, you finally got home. Are you feeling better? Is everything okay?", Liana nodded. "Yes, everything is fine. "Jack ceased his excitement to look at her seriously. There were tears in his eyes. "Sister, you're finally home. It feels like a dream..." He then choked on his own words. "What's wrong?" Liana asked with concern
"Mr Peter, nice to meet you, and hello to the rest of you as well. " Edward greeted as he approached, and Peter also greeted him politely because it was in his gentle nature to do so. "Pleasure, nice to meet you too ..." "Mr Peter, nice to meet you. " Renan added with an unsophisticated smile. "Nice to meet you, but you are ..." Peter was confused and Renan quickly introduced himself. "I'm Edward's cousin, better known as Renan White, but please just call me Renan." "Oh all right, nice to meet you." Peter nodded honestly. "Why are you two here?" Liana asked curiously, and Edward sat down beside her naturally and replied with a smile. "Renan said he wanted to thank you personally. I'm sorry to interrupt your dinner." "Actually, sister-in-law, that's right because my brother and I haven't had dinner yet." Renan took the other seat next to her and the title sister-in-law came naturally out of his mouth, and Liana frowned slightly and corrected him. "Just call me by my name." "
After Liana woke up, she was interrogated by the police, but since she couldn't remember anything, there was nothing she could answer. Fortunately, the hotel manager intervened to vouch for her. Later, the real killer of Veronica was arrested, so the police released her.He smiled and said, "It seems what they say is correct. The me in this second is different from the me in the last second. Changing the past is a very difficult thing to do because a large part of time and space will be distorted, and who is man to challenge the natural process of time and space?""You're right, but luckily, we managed to change the past," Liana nodded."No, we didn't change anything," Edward shook his head."We didn't?" Liana furrowed her brow; if they hadn't, how could he be so slow?As if he were reading her thoughts, Edward couldn't help but smile."But we changed the future.""What do you mean by that?""The man acknowledged our effort and was willing to give the world another 25 years, but we ch
"He's escaping!" Edward hissed vehemently.He then leaped out of the window ledge and landed on the ground. This was the second floor, but he jumped without hesitation. Liana saw this and rushed down the stairs as fast as she could. Unfortunately, when she reached the ground floor, she could only see Edward's shadow fleeing.Liana used her top speed to catch up, and Edward was chasing the killer. The killer was running with Veronica on his back. He jumped into a car parked on the road, then threw Veronica inside and drove away.Edward almost caught up to the car but arrived a second too late. He could only watch as the car sped away."Get in!" Liana had already anticipated the killer's actions, so she had stopped a car at the side of the road, and Edward got into the car without hesitation."Chase that car in front of us!" Liana ordered the driver. The driver stepped on the gas pedal but asked uncertainly, "What are you planning?""Catch him, and this is all yours!" Edward, who was si
After securing his room, Edward exited through the hotel's back door and headed towards Veronica's residence.Veronica didn't live far from the small hotel, but it would still take ten minutes to walk there. She resided in a dilapidated residential area. The surroundings consisted of old, abandoned three-story buildings. Most of them had broken windows and, looking from the outside, appeared completely dark and uninhabited.Only a few rooms had dim lights filtering from within. The streetlights in this residential area were all broken, and the place was dark. Occasionally, the hissing of cats from the overgrown bushes could be heard; it was the perfect setting for a horror movie.However, Liana wasn't afraid. Besides caution, there was no trace of fear on her face. She followed the address and inspected the buildings one by one, and after some effort, she finally found where Veronica was located.Liana was standing under the building, and when she looked up, she saw that the lights on
"A girl from abroad, probably here to travel," replied the manager. "In that case, she'll definitely need a good tour guide." The man straightened his suit in an obvious manner and eagerly rushed out.The manager shook his head but didn't intervene. Women from out of town often fell prey to the town's men, and many of them considered themselves lucky to have experienced a foreign affair, when in reality, all these men were seasoned hunters, and their prizes were just women.If the girl didn't resist temptation, she would have a lot to lose. However, Carl wasn't concerned about the girl who had just left because she seemed entirely capable of taking care of herself.Liana walked for a while before realizing someone was following her. She saw a dark alley and entered it directly. The man behind her laughed cheerfully and quickened his pace.In the alley, Liana was soon cornered by the man. Initially, the man had intended to follow her for a while longer, but he knew this alley like the
Armed with a curious heart, Liana entered this small, old-looking hotel. Sitting behind the antique counter was a middle-aged man tallying the accounts. He was thin, and though the shirt he wore was outdated, it was of a certain luxury, and there was a calculating glint in his eyes. Liana could tell, with just a glance, that he was the hotel manager.The manager saw her, and his gaze swiftly traversed her entire body. He then stood up with a smile to inquire."Accommodation?""Yes, give me your best room," Liana said as she handed him her temporary identity, as she had acquired temporary residence in the country and didn't need to carry her passport.The manager accepted her identity and studied it. He asked with a smile, "Where are you from? It says here that you're not from this country.""The United States," Liana replied in an emotionless tone. Normally, others wouldn't have pressed further, but the manager typed her information unhurriedly and continued to ask."Are you here to t
"This is her," Lilith handed them a photo and introduced, "Her name is Veronica, and she lived in Darlin, here in the United States, and was murdered in a homicide case ten years ago, and the killer gruesomely dismembered her body, but they never found the body, and what you need to do is to find the killer or desecrate her body. I've also compiled all the information I could find about her, so you can take a look now."Lilith then opened her laptop to show the information about Veronica. Liana and Edward thought Veronica would have a complicated background, but to their surprise, she was a simple and ordinary woman, and the only noteworthy thing was that she was raped and gave birth to a child. However, her child was stolen from her, and she fell into depression, barely surviving on the streets.Nevertheless, misfortune did not leave her life.When she was 30, she was brutally murdered, and the case remains unsolved to this day. Nobody knew who the killer was or what the motive was.
At that time, I foresaw something and chose to settle there. I conducted at least ten years of research and reached a bottleneck. Similarly, I was afraid that Walter Roberts would notice our scent, so I brought them with me when I left," Lilith recounted in a distant tone, and Liana and Edward still had difficulty understanding her, but they knew she was talking about Gabbe's parents.Unfortunately, they all perished during various experiments, news that caused Gabbe to withdraw for a long period of time. Only Lilith survived. Liana understood that her mother was not a coward. She also participated in these dangerous experiments and survived, probably due to luck and ability.However, they still hadn't achieved what she foresaw. Could it be the apocalypse? Liana asked the question, and Lilith nodded."Yes, I foresaw the apocalypse, and it will happen soon. But don't wo
"What will make you stop?""I don't need anything," the man smiled indulgently."You must have something you desire," Lilith turned to look at him. "Tell me what it is, maybe I can fulfill your wish.""I'm honored to hear that from you. I'm glad I had this conversation with you today, and thank you for allowing me to be in the presence of the brightest person in the world," the man raised his eyebrow slightly.Lilith understood what he meant.He didn't need anything; he simply enjoyed talking to her.He was wrapping up the conversation, and no one would stop his plan, not even her.However, no matter how dark he was, he was still a man.If he were a man, he would be prone to regrets and ideals, and Lilith believed that he, as an individual, was more than just a rush to destroy the world.Lilith's calm eyes gazed into his, and her voice was low but sounded like heavenly music in his ears."Think carefully, what is still buried deep in your heart? Destroying the world is easy, but can y
"You used the memory cells?" Lilith's gaze scanned her entire body, and she immediately realized the truth."You are definitely the brightest woman there is, I'm very impressed," the man clapped his hands together as he spoke."Do you need something from me?" Lilith wasn't surprised, nor did she show any visible reaction to his easy admission; she simply asked in a soft tone."Of course, I overheard everything just now. If you don't mind, I believe we can have an interesting conversation," the man said in a friendly tone."Okay," Lilith nodded, and the mysterious man smiled and extended his hand."Please!" Lilith followed him without hesitation. They entered another room, and the difference from Walter Roberts' room was that this one was larger and more luxurious. It was the chief secretary's office, and there was a photo of him on the desk. However, compared to the man in front of Lilith, the man in the photo appeared refined and exuded a kindness cultivated by age. The man before h
