Standing in front of the spacious villa, Jack was a little surprised, yet Peter seemed beside himself in shock because he knew this house, and wasn't this the former home of the Legrand family? Why, Liana, did she bring them here? Did she take a wrong turn? "Uncle, this house has always belonged to me, and now that I have regained my memory, naturally, I took it back," Liana explained as she noticed Peter's questioning face. "And Anika just let you do that?", Peter asked surprised. "The certificate of ownership is in my name, so she had nothing to do, and I just kicked her out with the right I have. And from this day on, this will be our home! Now, shall we go inside?", Liana opened the front door and stepped inside. Peter leaned on Jack, and together they entered the house, and of course they still needed some time to process the bomb that Liana had just dropped. And Peter couldn't help but wonder, how did Liana manage to confront Anika? Was it really their house now? Was he dre
She was absolutely sick of living in poverty, and had big plans for her future, but for that she needed money. When she was younger, she regretted spending without limits, because she believed that she would never go hungry, so she spent every sitting she earned, so her bank account was always empty. And back then she didn't worry about making money, after all, her family was rich, and so she thought she could live unrestrictedly for the rest of her life without worrying about money, and since she wasn't in the habit of worrying about it, she spent most of her time discovering more of the world of computing, and from her perspective, mastering a skill could help her make more than enough money when she needed it. However, cruel fate stripped her of her family's riches, only then did she realize the importance of money, and now, she learned to appreciate every penny she had, but in a direct way, she needed money. Making money wasn't hard, what was hard was making a high amount of m
"Alright, you go get some rest, and when I get back, I'll call you," She spoke smiling, and he nodded. "Okay, go safely, and don't buy too much stuff, it's just the two of us, okay?", Peter spoke, and she nodded her head leaving the mansion. The area of the condo was quite large, so Liana had to walk some distance before she spotted Jack under the shade of a tree by the gate, he was sitting on a steel bench, his head down and his shirt all torn. "Jack?", Liana spoke approaching, and then, Jack faced her, and she realized that he was full of cuts and bruises all over his body and face. "Who did this to you?", She asked irritated to see her cousin and brother like that. "Lilih, don't worry, I'm fine," Jack said trying to calm his sister down, "It looks serious, but it's not..." But Liana didn't want to hear any more. "I asked who did this to you, Jack!", Liana spoke seriously. She might sometimes seem indifferent and untouchable, but when someone messed with her family, she beca
So Aisha and her husband were helping Anika get revenge on her? Of course Liana was aware that Anika would not let quiet the fact that she took her house, but did not expect her to be so despicable enough to come after her family, And her stepmother could be sure that Liana would find a way to make her regret having messed with the Legrand family, even more so involving the boy Jack, and Anika could be sure that this was the biggest mistake of her life. A fierce look crossed Liana’s face and her skillful fingers flew over the keyboard, so fast that Jack could barely keep up. He knew beforehand that his sister was a bit psychopathic when it came to his programming skills, but his breath was taken every time he saw that she did her magic. "Li? What are you doing?" , Jack spoke to her staring, and based on her concentration, knew she was doing something important. "Jack, just rest, you need this!" She answered without even taking her eyes off the notebook, and he realized that she
Competition in the market was extremely strong, and elimination was constantly happening for companies that could not keep up with the advancement of technology. The pie was so small, that every business involving this world was hungry for it, and having a partnership with TXT would mean a guaranteed revenue stream, in other words, William could not miss this opportunity! The software developed by his team was extremely successful, and Wazer Security was introduced to the market for a few years and the response was incredibly positive, and many users opted for their software, and in terms of sales and ratings, it was way ahead of other competing companies. And William was certainly pleased with the result, and he was sure that the partnership was closed and the contract would soon arrive. And when his software was included in TXT's operating system, it meant that everyone would be using his program as standard security software, and this would earn him a lot of money, and his hap
"What do you mean? But is it 700,000?", Jack asked. "The profit Tech Corps will receive from deactivating this virus is certainly more than a measly 700,000, and the planned partnership with TXT will fail if the virus problem is not solved and that partnership is definitely worth more than 700,000 too!", Liana replied as if that was something normal. "Li, how did you do all this?", Jack continued surprised. "I hacked into the Tech Corps internal database, so I know all of this. "She answered nonchalantly, as if it was no big deal, which left Jack in shock, after all, why did she do that? "You what?", Jack asked. "But why?" "Liana replied, staring at him, as if what she did wasn't illegal, or rather, if it wasn't crazy. But the question was still the same, why did she break into this server? "Don't tell me, please, do you have something to do with this virus?", Jack asked cautiously, but when he heard his own words he laughed, that was crazy, his sister wouldn't do that. "No,
"I can't believe it!", Jack spoke spying his sister and seeing the codename she was using. "Are you the famous GenioHacker? I had heard that a new hacker with this name was messing with all the other hackers, but I had no idea it was you! ", And Liana just nodded, she saw no reason to lie to her cousin, while Jack, felt that this was a great accomplishment, to have an extraordinarily intelligent sister cousin. And Jack knew that her name would travel even further on the forum, and her reputation would increase greatly after the world knew that she was the one who helped Tech Corps! "Li, aren't you worried that William suspects that it was you who created the virus? After all, if you can solve it, when no one else could, it might be strange.", Jack spoke worrying again. "So what if they suspect?", Liana replied not the least bit worried. "If they have even the slightest suspicion that you are the culprit, William won't let it go easily,", Jack replied. "Ta, but for that, they n
On the other end of the line, Edward noticed that Dylan was looking at him curiously after he hung up the phone, overheard his father's conversation, and was wondering who this 'her' was that Edward planned to invite. And he had an indescribable feeling telling him that this 'she' was someone very special. "What's up big boy? Tomorrow is your birthday, what present do you want?" Edward bent down and looked at his son, who shrugged. "I don't want anything!" Dylan answered without much excitement, he already had everything a child could want, and besides, this kind of party was always a boring subject for him, the adults talked among themselves, and he was left aside. And of course, if he could, he would not go to his party. "Are you sure you don't want anything? This is the only time I'm going to grant any of your wishes, so don't miss the opportunity," Dylan's little face twitched with hesitation, he had a wish in mind, but he didn't think it could be a reality, because he knew t
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
