"This is the greatest pride of my life. Sister, thank you for being part of my life," Jack said proudly. Liana looked at his smiling face but didn't say anything, and Jack maintained eye contact and sighed. "This time last year, we were still struggling with life. I never thought so many things would change in a year. Sister, all of this is thanks to you. You impressed everyone and put those who dared to intimidate and belittle us in their place. "But if I had regained my memory earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much!" Liana apologized. "Don't blame yourself. In the end, it was all worth it, and I'm happy with how things turned out," Jack nodded. All she asked for in the world was that the people she cared about be happy; she didn't long for anything else. "Well, I'll be going!" Jack said when he saw Edward approaching. He wanted to give them some privacy. Edward approached with a smile and took the place Jack had left. "Jack is right, you really showed everyone the power you
Liana was once again taken to an interrogation room. This was the second time she found herself in this place. The last time was to see Libanez, and now it was to see Burdock. Burdock appeared much more worn out. Although he had only been here for a day, his uniform had been removed, and he was wearing a plain white t-shirt. His stubble had grown under his chin, and there were dark circles under his eyes, indicating a sleepless night. The only lively thing about him was his pair of eyes, but even they didn't have the same sharpness as before. Instead, they had become more reserved. After she entered, Burdock spoke softly. "Sit down, don't worry, I won't hurt you." There was a divide between them, and Liana smiled. "How could you hurt me?" She calmly and confidently took a seat in front of him. Burdock laughed at his own words. He had forgotten that the woman in front of him was no ordinary woman. She had been brave enough to expose him in front of the court, so she definitely wasn'
"So, what's the dirt on Maite?" Liana jumped to the next question. It took almost an hour until Liana left the detention center, and Edward had been waiting for her outside the entrance the whole time. "What did you two discuss?" he asked as Liana approached. "Let's get inside first; we have somewhere to go." "Okay." Edward nodded and held the door for her. Once they were inside, Liana gave the driver the address of a warehouse where the dirt Burdock spoke of could be found. On the way there, Liana summarized her conversation with Burdock for Edward and then apologized. "I took the initiative to close the deal, but I will handle everything, so don't worry." Edward simply smiled. "It's no big deal to spare him from the death penalty. After all, he cooperated in the end. Besides, you only promised to do your best; you didn't promise him that you could definitely get him off the hook." "But he keeps incriminating your family again and again. We can't let him get away so easily." Ed
“Stevie, you're the best!" Maite offered a smile, but her smile was wavering. God, I hope they never find out about this thing, or they'll pay dearly! Suddenly, the driver spoke up. “Sir, there's a car chasing us!" Stevie narrowed his eyes and turned to look with Maite. Just as the driver had reported, there was a sports car behind them. Through the windshield, Maite saw Edward in the driver's seat. "It's Edward White!" She exclaimed, and Stevie ordered the driver. "Pull over by the side of the road. "Yes, sir! As soon as they stopped, Edward's car caught up with them, and everyone got out of their cars. But when Maite saw him and Liana, she asked with dissatisfaction. "Why were the two of you following us? "Why? That's our question to you. Your suspicion hasn't been cleared up yet, so why are you running away?" Liana looked at Stevie before responding coldly. "What suspicion? Endiz Burdock is Endiz Burdock, and I am myself. I may know him, but that doesn't mean I was coopera
Stevie suddenly pulled Maite's hands away from him and comforted her. "Maite, since they claim to have evidence against you, it's better for you to stay behind to assist with the investigation. This time, I can't even help you, but don't worry, if you're innocent, we will definitely save you," Stevie said. Maite was very scared, she looked at Stevie in disbelief. "Stevie, what, what are you talking about?" she stammered with a trembling voice, but Stevie used his finger to gently wipe away her tears and smiled. "Maite, you know that anyone from the Veronezi family must take responsibility for what we do. Be brave; we will definitely save you." "But... But the evidence is real. If I get caught, it will be over for me," Stevie, I can't go with them, I won't," Maite shook her head in absolute fear, afraid that he would truly abandon her. Of course, by now Stevie knew what had really happened. He whispered gently, "But you have to, they've already filed a report, you can't hide from t
"Sister!" Jack, who had been guarding by her side, never once closed his eyes. He jumped happily forward when he saw her open her eyes. He took hold of her hand and gently rubbed warmth into it. "Sis, are you okay? Do you feel alright? I'll call the doctor!" Jack quickly called the doctor, but Liana remained the same: indifferent and emotionless. "Doctor, what's wrong with my sister?" Jack asked with a trembling voice, looking at Liana, who stared blankly ahead. "She's in shock." The doctor sighed. "So, what can we do..." "Let's give her a tranquilizer injection first." As the doctor was about to administer the injection, she spoke in a hoarse voice. "It's alright..." "Sister!" Jack cried out in shock. However, he immediately swallowed his joy when he saw the usual sparkle missing from her eyes. He didn't know how to broach the subject. Liana turned to him and continued in that hoarse voice of hers. "Where is Edward?" This was what Jack feared the most, her asking about Edward a
"I would like to have some time alone with him," she murmured weakly. Fatigue was returning, and Sergio nodded understandingly and left the laboratory. As soon as he did, Liana's tears began to fall uncontrollably, like a broken dam. Studying Edward's pale face in the container, Liana felt her heart being stabbed over and over again. Each painful second caused the sight before her to darken. Yet she forced her eyes to open and carefully study every inch of Edward's body. The wounds on his face, head, arms, legs... These were all Stevie's gifts to him. She would remember this because one day, she would repay him a hundred times over! No, that wasn't enough. She swore to destroy the entire Veronezi family! Otherwise, her heart would not rest! Liana stayed alone in the laboratory for an hour before leaving. When she emerged, her entire being seemed exhausted. She was completely drained, the little color she had before had disappeared completely. Jack approached and asked with concern
“How is Dylan?”, Liana finally gathered the courage to ask. " He still has no idea what's really going on. " Pain was written on Renan's face. " He only knows that his father is hurt, but we haven't had the heart to tell him. After all, he's too young to know about this, and we believe it could impact his growth.” " And what about the others?” " My grandfather is not doing well, and my uncles are devastated, but that won't be enough to bring them down! " Renan said confidently. That was the spirit of a powerful family. They wouldn't crumble easily, no matter how big the blow was. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reached the stage they were on that day. " Everything will be fine. " Liana assured him, making it a promise. That would be her belief for a long period of her future. In fact, it was because of that belief that she managed to create one legend after another. And when Liana said that Stevie was the killer, Renan quickly went to make the report. Although the police already su
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
