"Have you ever tried increasing the number of geniuses?" Isaac continued probing.
"Of course, we did, but most kids can't survive the encouragement; their brains become paralyzed and shut down. We directly remove useless seeds like those," Enrico replied seriously.
"In fact, keeping them alive would be a waste of food; it's better than them returning to their own land," said Isaac with a malicious smile, but there was a hint of deep hatred in his eyes. There had never been a moment when he hated the Roberts family more than this!
He was raised as an assassin from a young age and thought his life was already cruel, but who knew he should be grateful for not being sent to this orphanage because they were even worse than him? The cruelest part was how they treated the so-
"No, no, manager, I'm perfectly fine…" the little boy probably used all the energy he could gather in his body to stand up and shouted anxiously. "Manager, no, please, I'm perfectly fine. Look at me, I…" Before he could finish, the boy fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious."What are people doing? How can they not discover such a serious illness? How could I show my face if this kind of seed was sent to that place?" Enrico cursed vehemently."How many of them are being sent this time?" Isaque immediately latched onto the words of his sentence and asked normally."Just the five you saw, but it looks like we'll have one less!" Enrico explained."Maybe he can still be saved, please, Un
"Continue the observation, if he doesn't improve, I'm sure everyone knows what to do." He answered the phone, his face darkening after continuing the conversation for some time, and after hanging up, he explained to Isaque. "Sir, the boy from earlier has been diagnosed with encephalomeningitis and I don't think he will recover.""Really? What sad news," Isaque commented lightly."Yes, it's really very sad!" Enrico agreed, but he was only sad about the resources wasted to raise this seed, and Enrico exploded again, thinking about how the boy's reluctance to tell the truth caused the loss of a good seed. "We can't keep this child any longer! He could relapse even if he recovers; we should just..." Enrico made a throat-clearing gesture."Do you always get rid of these ruined seeds so quickly?" Isaque lowered his eyes so as not to show Enrico the anger in them, and Enrico nodded arrogantly."Of course we don't have time to take care of all these children. If they are no longer useful to u
“No, I want to do this myself." Liana shook her head with determination.This time, she decided to get her hands dirty and not hide behind Edward, becoming a woman who relied completely on her man."Should we join forces then?" As if reading her mind, Edward grabbed her hands and said with a mischievous smile. "Of course." Liana looked at him and finally responded with a smile.Edward was elated, and even if they were venturing into a dark hole, as long as he was with her, he was happy.The situation inside the orphanage was a shock to Liana's group, Ali's group wanted to rush back to the orphanage to kill the bunch of animals after watching the surveillance video."Are they even human? How can they treat these children like dogs?" Ali demanded with pain and anger, pointing at the children going through training on the screen.In the video, the children were lined up and going through what could only be described as canine training. The trainer brandishing the whip shouted orders like
However, they were less talented in the area of intelligence, at least compared to these two, so they could only wave helplessly."And what happens next?" Ali continued to ask."When they are in quarantine, they will be lambs in our slaughterhouse. We can take care of those we need to take care of and let the innocent ones go away." Liana smiled.Now, they finally understood everything!"Liana, do you plan to deal with Enrico when he's in quarantine? During the quarantine, the children will have to be separated from the adults, as that is the accepted protocol and that will be the way to protect them from getting hurt during the process, right?" Ali asked to confirm."Ye
The rooms were sterilized and isolated, and guards were stationed in front of each quarantine room. Soon enough, Enrico was dragged into one of the rooms, and not long after, the center began to fill... Some of the children were also patients, and initially, everyone thought the flu was nothing serious, and Liana's group was just making a mountain out of a molehill. However, after so many people were continuously sent to quarantine, the entire orphanage started to worry. There were thirty workers and over two hundred orphans there. What if all of them were infected? The outcome would be the same - they would be exposed! To prevent that from happening, the Roberts f
"The symptoms of Manager Enrico are becoming more pronounced, and after our analysis, we confirmed that Manager Enrico was indeed infected," the two doctors who were monitoring Enrico reported his condition to Liana, who nodded gently."The latest news Jackson told me is that the infected boy just passed away, and he's not doing well either," she spoke with concern, and the doctors' faces changed slightly."So, does that mean Jackson and the manager will...""Yes, we're not optimistic.""So, what should we do?" The two doctors started to worry. If this disease spread, who knows how many deaths they could end up with on their hands. "Miss Liana, we need to increase the size of the medical team, and we can't allow thi
"Everything I did was because Patricio ordered me to, and I was just following his orders! We all work for the Roberts family, so don't tell me your hands are completely clean," Enrico retorted."Actually, our hands are dirty from dealing with human garbage like you," Liana nodded."So, who gave you the right to deal with me?" Enrico demanded. "If you're really capable, then go talk to Jackson or the entire Roberts family. I'm just a pawn in their scheme; they are the real masterminds!""That's why Patricio Roberts is now a senile old man.""What did you say?" Enrico was shocked, looking at Liana in disbelief, who just returned a cold stare. "Is it because of you that Patricio is in his current state?" Enrico wasn't
"That's all I know, I'm only responsible for taking care of the children, nothing more than that I know.""And how many children have died this year?" Liana continued asking."Just a few, not many!" Enrico replied sincerely."How many? I want numbers!" She stared at him."One or two orphans die every year, I swear." Ali's grip on his dagger tightened as Enrico added. "There are four or five, there can't be many of them, or we'd be discovered, and we can't risk that!""Four or five is still quite a few, huh?" Liana scoffed.The Angel Orphanage had been in operation for decades, and if there were four to five deaths each year, what was the total death count? Moreover, Enrico was definitely giving them a conservative number, the real number must be much higher, so the conclusion was that none of them were truly human!"Liana, stop wasting time with him, let's kill him!" Ali hissed through his teeth, thinking of the many innocent lives that had died at his hands. Ali could hardly wait to
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
