After the money was transferred, the manager got to work. The house, cars and weapons she ordered were quickly purchased, and twenty mercenaries were also hired in her service. The gold card was ready and still had a lot of money inside. Liana's business used less than a fifth of the total, yet this completely changed their situation. In front of the luxurious mansion, cars and the troop of trained mercenaries, Sam and his gang seemed to be dreaming. They had to be. A few hours ago they were penniless, but now they had everything! This was a hard contrast to swallow. "Liana, is all this yours?", Sam asked Liana with extreme caution, as if he was afraid that this might wake him from his dream. Wolf and the rest also stared at her. They didn't know how to treat her anymore. In their eyes, Liana suddenly became very large and blinding, like the sun. "Yes, it's mine... but also yours. The cars, guns and house, it's all for you too," Liana nodded quietly. "For us?", Ali shouted in
"All right, well, thank you for your help," Sam nodded. They were happy with Liana's help, and so they mobilized many forces to increase the search effort. The news spread quickly, there were no secrets among the many different forces. Also, the reward of 3,000,000 USD attracted many 'favors'. To their surprise, news about Charlie arrived the very next day, and everyone was shocked that the news arrived so soon. "According to the source, they saw Charlie a month ago; Charlie was wearing black clothes and was heading to a location. The source refused to divulge the location until we meet them in person and hand over the reward money. ", Sam told everyone. "This is such an obvious trap. People will do anything for money,", Wolf smiled. "It has to be. The person even told us to go with money in tow, could they be more obvious?", Ali also added. "I don't think so, because it doesn't look like the person is lying. They said Charlie is going somewhere special, a place he was too
"Get out!" He ordered suddenly and many people appeared from behind the ruined house. There were at least thirty of them and each one had a gun. They were all directed at Sam's group that was surrounded in the middle, and Sam's gang also raised their weapons instantly. They formed a defensive circle immediately, and Ali even dropped his trunk to grab his gun. "Ryan, what is the meaning of this?" Sam demanded angrily. "Isn't it obvious? I'm stealing from you! Leave the gold and weapons and I might consider letting you go with your lives!", Ryan laughed out loud, his eyes swirling with darkness. "You think your group of thugs can take us down?", Wolf spat condescendingly. As he said this, the group approached them, and Sam's group was immediately alerted. "That's right, this group of bullies will rob you blind! Your SamWolf gang is looking at us, right? Well, you'll get a taste of the Grey Mouse's power today! And if you people are trained, you can take on so many of us?", Ry
Ryan was already out of bullets, but he still pressed the trigger relentlessly like a madman, and since everyone's attention was on Liana, Ryan took the opportunity to crawl to reach for a gun not far from him. The moment his hand reached out, a bullet was fired, scratching his arm, nearly incapacitating him. Ryan retracted his arm with a scream and looked at Liana who fired the bullet, Liana's pistol was pointed at Ryan. "I'm a lousy shot, why don't you try your luck again," She said calmly. Ryan stood motionless like a statue, and even Sam's gang felt creeped out by her words. The poor shots were the most dangerous because no one knew who they would hurt! Liana was pleased with Ryan's reaction, stopped in front of his shrunken body and asked. "Do you want to die?", Ryan shook his head vigorously. Who would want that? "Well, then answer my question, where is Charlie?", Liana nodded. Ryan swallowed dryly when he saw the threat in Liana's eyes, she would not hesitate to kill hi
Liana and Sam's group got into one car and the mercenaries into another. "Is he going after Ryan? "In the car, Wolf asked. "He's not hiding the fact that he is. "Sam nodded with a mischievous smile. "Will he come after us then? "Ali said with concern. "He won't. " Liana replied. "We hired them through the private bank, they need a reputation and I paid a considerable amount for their services." "That's right, these people will do anything for money except ruin their own reputation and credibility, because that is their long-standing meal. " Sam explained and Ali breathed a sigh of relief. "Are we going to save Charlie?" Ali asked, and Liana nodded. "We will, but we have to collect more information first." Liana got to work after she returned home. Hacking Barron's military system was a piece of cake for her, and the surveillance in the camp was complete, so Liana quickly found the footage she needed. There were many cameras in and around the prison. Each individual prison
Without waiting for her response, Sam and the rest went to get ready. They were prepared to save Charlie or die trying, however, they still maintained some degree of rationality to hear Liana's arrangement through the ear microphone, and night fell quickly. Liana had already adjusted the surveillance of the military camp. Sam's group did not appear on the screen, and with Liana's help, Sam's group successfully entered the camp. Liana was operating more than a few computers, her fingers flew over the keyboard and she gave her instructions in a hurry. "There are two men guarding the prison entrance and I have changed the video. However, you only have five minutes to get in and out before the other guards get suspicious." "No problem!" Sam whispered back before leading the rest into the prison. The moment they entered, they tripped over the two guards, but before the two men could react, they jumped forward and snapped their necks. "Change your clothes as a disguise. "Liana orde
Philip did not make the presentation, so it was none of his business to ask. However, from the way Philip treated him, the person had a certain importance. After Barron's aide took the two men into the living room, Barron brought some men into the prison. Liana saw Barron heading toward the prison and quickly informed Sam's gang. "Barron is coming, Ali and Wolf are quickly hiding, Sam and Cairn are doing their best not to be exposed!" "Damn, why is he coming?" Sam cursed softly, but he quickly took up the required post. Together with Cairn, they bowed their heads and stood at attention. They greeted wordlessly as Barron approached. "Open Charlie's cell now!" "Yes sir!" Sam stiffened his voice to reply and turned to walk in front of Barron. Barron was still thinking about how to get Charlie to cooperate when he noticed something funny about the guard walking in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly as his suspicions grew. However, he didn't show anything on his face, onl
"I'll ask again, where is the woman? "Barron's smile turned frigid. "We don't know what you're talking about." Sam smiled. "Barron, we have been captured, so we are prepared to die!" "Let's see about that." Barron ordered. "Chain them up and get the location of their wife, no matter what!" "Yes sir!" The group of soldiers brought them away. Sam's group was chained to the pillars of the dungeon, and what awaited them was endless torment... Liana was still looking at the surveillance, after Sam's group was captured, she found out all she could about Barron. She hoped to find some dirt on him, and her last words to Sam's group before she left were. "Hang in there, I'll find a way to save all of you!"Sam's group felt hopeful upon hearing her words, but they didn't dare hope for much. Their only wish was that she wouldn't be captured too, or else it would really be over for them... Philip's men were standing guard outside the large living room. Besides Philip and the mystery man
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
