"When they met Liana's cold gaze, those shareholders knew that she was a more terrifying character than Kaya, and their initial intention to start a riot was immediately dismissed from their minds. Liana wasted no time and got straight to the point. 'Since everyone is here, I won't waste time with idle pleasantries. I'm giving you two options: one, find a way to make Kaya leave within a week, and Zimon will fall under the name of the White Family. Or two, you can choose to launch a resistance, but I guarantee you won't achieve anything, and Zimon will disappear from this world in a month. I leave the choice in your hands. Give your answer to my secretary within an hour.' After that, Liana didn't give them a chance to speak and left the room. She was giving them the last chance to make the smart choice; there was no room for negotiation! In reality, there wasn't really a choice. The White Group and Zimon were in irreconcilable disagreement; one had to die for the other to survive, a
After that, before going to the laboratory, Liana spent half an hour in Edward's company, and for the rest of the time, she locked herself in her lab. The White family sent food for her daily, and it was always a delicious meal.Many times it was Mrs. White who brought the food, and there wasn't much she could do, so she focused on taking care of Liana and Edward.Other times, Renan was the messenger, and he had long been assigned as the leader of the Dragon Unit, so he was as busy as a bee. However, he managed to find time to come home every week to visit Edward, his family, and then Liana.A whole month had passed since Liana started working in the lab again, and all her waking hours were spent reflecting on the mechanical heart. The White family understood and provided her with the privacy she needed.Small matters arose, like the patriarch of the Veronezzi family harassing them in court and unpleasant rumors spreading about the White Family&md
The White Family quickly familiarized themselves with the new industry, and everything returned to normal. In fact, they became stronger than ever. People passing through the company's doors couldn't help but look up in admiration at the building, shining brightly under the sun's rays, still standing tall and proud like an invincible kingdom. When people talked about them, they naturally discussed that legendary woman. This was especially true for the employees of the White Group. They fully submitted to Liana's authority, and she became one of the two most admired individuals, the other being Edward, and as fate would have it, they were a couple. The workers spent their idle hours gossiping about this curious couple. Everyone was happy to have them, and Liana was unaware of this and didn't care to find out. Others were focused on their business, but she was entirely focused on her research on the mechanical heart. In the medical laboratory, Sérgio spent an entire day reviewing the
The atmosphere in the office was solemn, and Liana was the only woman there, and after everyone had arrived, John began seriously. "The reason I called everyone here is because I have something important to announce. The president is dying, and the sky is changing." The room was shocked. "How come I didn't hear anything about this?" Renan was the first to ask. "The news has been kept under wraps for almost half a month, but now things have gotten so serious that they can't be kept secret anymore. I just found out." John said with a disappointed sigh. Even after his retirement, he seemed to have lost his balance in the political scene. He discovered such important news just at the last minute; he regretted his uselessness, senility seemed to have finally caught up with him. "Father, is this news reliable?" Charles asked, and John nodded. "It has been confirmed that it's true, and people are gearing up for a reelection. This news will likely be released in a few days, and the elect
"Actually, the reason I called you here was to prepare you for possible dangers in the future. I know you're smart enough to take the necessary precautions, but I didn't expect you to actively want to confront the danger," John sighed. "Since the danger cannot be avoided, it will have to be resolved," Liana calmly replied. "I know you have the courage to stand by your words, but what will we do if something happens to you?" "That's right, Liana, you have to stay out of this. We'll take care of it ourselves," Renan and the rest advised her, but she still shook her head. "If you can solve this problem, I'll be happy to stay out of it. But in this situation, all your hands are tied." The Whites' faces were solemn; indeed, in such a delicate moment, they had to be careful not to commit to anything that could be used against them by their enemies. Furthermore, this was a country's election. How could Liana influence something as important as that? She couldn't, but at least she could t
"So, that's why," Sergio nodded. "I've been so busy lately that such big news went unnoticed by me. John, don't worry, I know what to do. I'll try not to disappoint!" "Me and the entire White family appreciate it!" John exclaimed excitedly, and Sergio smiled. "No need to thank me, our families have always been friends. I'm happy to be able to help!" Regardless, John was grateful because Sergio had given them a ray of hope. The White family wouldn't fall so easily because many people were truly on their side... That night, the family couldn't rest, and the next morning, even before the sun rose, the news that Sergio had managed to save Edward White's life from the clutches of death spread throughout the internet. In addition, Charles represented the White Group and donated ten billion to charity and five billion to Sergio's medical funds, causing shockwaves throughout the country. Edward was coming back, and the White family certainly showed generosity! This news soon became the m
"Please don't worry, I will do my best!" Sergio promised. "But I hope the First Lady advises the President to take it easy and not overwork." Indeed, despite his condition, the President was still working. However, he was a positive person, so at least he had that going for him. "Of course, I will do that, but for him, the country is more important than himself," the First Lady sighed. "He really shouldn't be working. The work is endless, and right now, his body is the most important thing. Madam, you must continue to advise him, let him rest, and not let him exert himself too much," Elder Veronezzi also sighed. For some reason, to Sergio's ears, Elder Veronezzi's words took on a different meaning: "Mr. President, you're already so sick, so don't cling to your position so stubbornly, give other people a chance to shine!" However, it seemed to have escaped the First Lady's ears as she nodded. "Don't worry, I'll do my best to make him rest. Elder, you must be tired too; go home and
"I've thought about all of this, but we can't let Sérgio take all of our responsibility. Risk, by definition, involves exposure to danger. I can't miss this good opportunity simply because of the risk. Besides, it applies to both sides. I can take advantage of this chance to get closer to the Veronezzi family, to understand them. Indeed, this was the perfect chance to get closer to the Veronezzi family. Liana could approach the Veronezzi family with a valid reason, or else they would have to wait for the Veronezzi family to strike, which wouldn't be a good idea. Therefore, they had to initiate the first strike to prevent accidents in the future. "Okay, go ahead, but please be careful," John advised. Liana nodded. "I will." Thus, it was decided that Liana still had to go to Makenzi, and Sérgio quickly obtained his answer—the First Lady agreed for Liana to come and help him. Before Liana departed, she fulfilled her promise to Dylan and brought him to see Edward White. Edward White was
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
