“Miss Liana, you were appointed as an ambassador at such a young age, and it happened so suddenly. May I respectfully ask if there's a hidden transaction we don't know about? And that you're involved in it?” The reporter expressed a suspicion that was on everyone's mind.It was normal to have doubts about Liana, a woman who was appointed to such an influential position so suddenly. Besides those who knew her personally, others would have doubts. So, when this question was raised, the media remained silent, awaiting her response, and citizens watching it worldwide in front of their screens also held their breath. They, too, wanted to see how Liana would respond to this sensitive and incisive question. The question had an appearance of truth; her appointment was certainly sudden, and she was indeed young."I ask, who here suspects my ability?" The Ambassador was about to intervene when Liana asked everyone with a clear voice, and the people there were shocked. No one dared to raise thei
"He's almost fully recovered. Come in; he's inside," Sergio seemed to read her mind and said with a giant smile."Thank you very much," Liana thanked him earnestly."I should be thanking you. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to create the cure," Sergio said, exhausted but with a brighter smile than ever."But without you, the cure wouldn't have been created so quickly," Liana said before rushing into the infirmary.The moment she opened the door, her sense of sight and smell were assaulted. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, which stung her nose. Edward stood by the bed, his back to her as he undressed. He carefully folded the white hospital gown, exposing his powerful and golden-brown back.A drop of sweat traced the contours of his back muscles, and the sight was oddly sensual, as if there was a strong touch of testosterone in the air. Liana's gaze was completely captured by that drop of sweat.She stopped in her tracks and froze in place. Edward turned at the
It was Edward, as I had said, a real conspiracy. Then again, even a crisis threatening the Earth occurred, what else would be impossible? Sam and the others didn't think Liana was joking; they processed the truth quickly and believed Liana was right.The virus had a lot to do with Gabriel and his group. They were taken by the United Nations, but that meant this virus was related to the United Nations, proving that certain countries indeed harbored ill intentions towards the United States. Without a cure, the virus could destroy half the country, and with the president gravely ill, any country could deliver the fatal blow. So, the collapse of the United States was not entirely impossible. The more Sam and the others thought about it, the more concerned they became."But who would want to come after the United States?" The answer came to him as soon as the question left his mouth. "Russia and China, right?" The hostility of these two countries towards Liana at the conference was too obv
After receiving the call from Liana, she requested the general to allow their entry, and to their surprise, the man personally came out to fetch them. In his elegant military attire and commanding stride, Liana and Edward's first impression of this gray-haired man was that he wasn't a simple character. Then again, how could someone vying for the presidency be simple?As he approached, his eyes locked onto them, cautious and probing."So, Miss Liana and Mr. White, come with me, but just the two of you and no one else, and both of you will still need to undergo a careful inspection," the general said rather brusquely.Liana and Edward had no issue with that and fully cooperated with the inspection, so they followed the general to the elevator. In the elevator, Liana asked him softly."Officer, what happened? Why would the President be suddenly attacked?" The general scrutinized her closely before responding in his gruff tone. "We are still investigating that, and I have no permission to
"But who is this doctor?" Everyone was confused by this, and Edward asked grimly."He's just a regular doctor, actually, he's a good doctor, and he has always been kind to people and his team, and his background is happy, and if you ask me, I would never believe he would harm anyone, especially the president. But for some reason, I feel like there are some problems and signs we've overlooked here," Sergio replied."What problem?" they all asked in unison."After he injured the president, he was quickly located and detained, and when I got to the room, I heard him screaming that he was innocent and he claimed he had no idea what had happened, he seemed possessed or something. But as I was in a hurry to save the president, I didn't pay much attention to him, but I have a feeling this is more complicated than it seems."When they heard this, both Liana and Edward looked visibly frightened, they turned out of habit and saw confirmation in each other's eyes.
"Go take a break; we have a question we want to ask him privately," the vice-president said softly to the police in the room."Yes, sir!" Of course, the police didn't dare to refuse his order and immediately left.The doctor seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope when he saw the vice-president. He knelt before the vice-president and pleaded desperately."Vice-president, I really didn't mean to do this; you have to believe me. I truly didn't intend to harm the president! I have no idea what came over me, but you have to believe me; I really didn't mean to hurt the president. I swear on my life! If I'm lying, may God punish me immediately; I'll kill myself to repent for my sin. I harmed the president; I deserve to die; I don't deserve to be a citizen of this country. Let me die!"The doctor was obviously in shock and could barely comprehend. His body visibly trembled, and despair was evident on his face. The fact that the man had reached such a state of desper
"Whether you wanted it or not, you've committed a grave sin! So, whether you intended it or not, we will continue this investigation, and if you are truly guilty, you will definitely be punished to the full extent of the law!" The vice-president stepped forward and snorted coldly.After that furious speech, he left the room, and Liana's entourage and the general followed closely. When they were outside, while nursing their residual anger, the vice-president instructed the general."Officer, you need to get to the bottom of this, and there can be no mistake or negligence, understood?""Don't worry, we will get to the bottom of this. No matter who is behind this conspiracy, we won't let them escape!" The General nodded seriously."Good, then I'll leave this to you now because I have something else to do.""Alright, have a safe journey." Despite the officer saying this, he still personally accompanied him out of the station, and Liana followed the vice-pres
"So, who is conspiring with Walter Roberts?" The first lady asked angrily. "Do they really think the United States can be easily intimidated? This is disgusting; we cannot let them win, and no matter who it is, if they are discovered, we must take this disrespect to its bitter end. The United States may be a peace-loving nation, but that doesn't mean we will allow others to walk all over us. If they want a war, then we will give them one!" The vice-president said angrily."Let's not rush into things, and we'll deal with these people later; for now, we need to focus on the Velarde family because this group of traitors must receive appropriate punishment!" Mr. Delapena said calmly."But we have no evidence, just suspicions," the vice-president complained. "If only we had evidence of the Velarde family's wrongdoings."Both the first lady and Mr. Delapena clenched their teeth in frustration, knowing that the Velarde family was in the wrong, but they had no proof to bring them to justice.
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
