After they entered his office, Renan got serious and thanked them very solemnly. "Liana, you practically saved my life this time, and from now on, come to me if you need my help, and I committed to that no matter what!" "I didn't intend to help you, I just wanted to take down Endiz. ", Liana replied naturally. "Regardless, it is undeniable that you helped me, and I will remember that forever." "So, what do you two want to discuss?" Liana didn't want to continue this line of conversation, so she turned to Edward. "Let's sit down first. " Edward said rudely, and after that, Edward replied. "The culprit behind Liam was revealed, but it wasn't Endiz." "Who was it then?" Liana was understandably confused. "We are also unclear about the identity of the person, we only know that this person is related to an international military organization. This entire operation was an order from the organization. The stolen ammunition held by Renan belongs to them, so they ordered Liam to steal it
"You're Dylan?" Peter asked with obvious surprise, and Dylan nodded and replied politely. "It's me, Grandpa, nice to meet you. "Peter was surprised and then realized that Dylan should definitely call him Grandpa. This was the first time he had ever been called Grandpa, so he couldn't stop smiling. "Well, well, Dylan, nice to meet you. Please come in, you're here to see Liana, right? She'll be down in a little while! Please come in to wait!" Peter invited them in enthusiastically, the awkwardness he had around Edward yesterday had completely disappeared. Dylan's presence had completely diffused that, he may be precocious beyond his years, but he was simply too cute. Dylan was well-behaved and handsome. His adorableness was off the charts. He hadn't met someone he couldn't charm. "Dylan, have you had your breakfast yet? Would you like something to eat? "Liana was coming downstairs and saw how her uncle was spoiling Dylan, who shook his head obediently. "Thanks Grandpa, I'm not
"How about we go see a movie after brunch? I've reserved three movie tickets. "Liana nodded nonchalantly. "Sure, why not. Since you booked them, why are you still asking me?" "Wonderful, then let's go out for a movie after brunch." Edward's lips curved into a smile. He had been looking forward to the date a lot. He hadn't dated before, so he went the traditional route. According to the routine Renan told him, after the movie would be coffee and then dinner. Finally, Renan said that if he was successful, he would end with a visit back to the house or a hotel... A deep V appeared between Edward's eyebrows as he thought about the last item on his itinerary. If he suggested that to Liana, she would probably kill him. So, he decided to stick with the movie and the food for now. Rome was not built in a day and the novel probably took more work than that. As usual, something happened to spoil their plan. Their car drove through a carnival of street food. They had to slow down bec
According to his research, a touching novel could improve a couple's relationship, so that's what he did. However, when they arrived at the movie theater, Dylan was instantly drawn to the poster of a newly released animation. "Mom, let's go watch it, I bet it's really interesting!" The little boy recommended the movie to Liana with bright eyes. From his perspective, the animation was not only action-packed, but also educational, so Liana would certainly enjoy it. Liana gave in to his demand with a smile. "I have already booked the ticket for another movie. If you want to watch the animation, we can come back next time. " Edward couldn't let his son ruin another one of his plans, so he said. Without waiting for a response, he walked into the screening hall, and Liana and Dylan looked at each other and communicated wordlessly. "That's Daddy to you, he can be a little bossy sometimes." Dylan shrugged and explained. "I've noticed." "Let's just accommodate him this time." "Fine." T
"Father, they have already done it. This is such an obvious move to oppose us." Elijah added with equal disgust. "Just because we were rude to Maitê?" Renan sneered. Their impression of the Veronezi family had fallen below ground. Actions speak louder than words, and their actions prove their narrowness and dispersibility. "There is much more to it than that. The Veronezi family must have some darker plans against our White family. Everyone must be extremely careful, we are up against an entire family here." Grandfather White shook his head. "Grandfather, don't worry. I won't let Endiz take that away from me!" Grandpa White nodded. "You're right, the most immediate thing right now is to help you beat Endiz. No matter what happens, you must not let him win, we cannot miss this opportunity. If we do, our weakness will be exposed and that will give our enemies the opening they need." "Yes!" Renan promised sternly. Beneath his carefree appearance was a reliable young man, and Grandp
From Renan's perspective, although Endiz's platoon was a little better, his men were not much worse. If they gave it their all, they had a chance to win. This thought was shared by his entire platoon. Unfortunately, they did not expect defeat to come so soon! Their initial hope and confidence were completely decimated by reality. Their loss was so absolute that it was laughable. They had strength, but for some reason, the defeats kept coming... Air combat, LOS! Marine combat, LOS! The final ground combat was also close to being lost.... "How could this happen?" Renan was beside himself in shock at this development. This was the biggest loss he had experienced in his military life. His aide, Igor, who had fought alongside Renan almost from the beginning, couldn't believe it either. "This is impossible!" He hit the table hard and the layered glass top began to crack. "Our soldiers are not that bad. We are a military unit that has taken down several international illegal org
"Sir, this is not your fault, in fact this is no one's fault. We lost once, but we sure won't lose next time!" "That's right, we'll show them next time!" Igor also said with confidence. "Boss, we will definitely beat them next time, because we are the best!" "That's right, we are the best!" Renan watched the faces of these men and was moved. He smiled . "Thank you. And yes, next time we will win! I'm sure!" None of them would surrender after a small defeat. If they did, they would not have survived this long . However, a loss was a loss. That reality could not be denied. It was impossible for morale not to be affected. Some were discouraged, others despondent. What was worse was that some began to doubt Renan's ability. Renan was a military child, his schooling years were spent in military school. He had taken on missions since his teens and had about eight years of combat experience. He may be young, but his skill was indisputable. However, for those who did not know him per
Liana was still in the lab doing her research. She was studying and improving her computer skills. Even if she is the best computer expert in the world, this doesn't mean that she has reached the peak of her ability. The study is never-ending. When she saw that it was Dylan calling her, she decided to take a breath, however, from the first word from her son, she realized that something was different about Dylan's mood that day. "Dylan, what's wrong?" Liana asked over the phone. Dylan told Liana everything, without withholding any information. "Mom, I feel so weak because I don't know how to help everyone, even though I want to. " Dylan said to Liana, helplessly. "Besides, Daddy's not home right now. That must be very hard for Uncle to cope with alone." Liana consoled him. "Actually, no one has an easy life, but they can definitely handle it well, so don't worry too much." "But great-grandfather said, uncle must not lose or it will affect his future too much." "Your uncle will not
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
