Liana naturally knew what kind of country the United States was, and it was because she trusted them that she was willing to give them these things. This was all Gabriel and the guys' blood, sweat, and tears, so she wouldn't allow anyone to use them to wreak havoc in the world.That's why she didn't hand it over when the United Nations first requested it, as she had suspected since then. At the end of the day, she had more faith in the First Lady, Mr. Delapena, and similar people compared to the United Nations. At this point, she had to reveal this information to save the world, and if she had to choose one, she'd give the technology to the United States.After Liana handed over the document, she joined the technical team of the United States to conduct research. Her computer science skills were truly superhuman. Her understanding of math and physics was also at an impossible level. With her help, the technical team's research witnessed a dramatic improvement.At the same time, the ne
"I know he wants to kill me, but that doesn't mean I have to run for president," Liana said in a neutral tone."He will use the power of other countries to kill you," Edward interrupted directly, which left Liana surprised when the truth dawned on her. "Why would Walter Roberts work with these countries? No one will help him or give him freedom," Edward continued to explain.Sam and the rest agreed with him because they all agreed that Walter Roberts would demand Liana's life in exchange for his cooperation."No matter how powerful we are, we cannot rival the power of an entire country. They have many ways to assassinate us, so the only thing we can do is not give them that chance," Edward noted her understanding and continued. "Helping me become president?" Liana asked."Yes. When you have the highest power, you can easily thwart the threat from other countries, and no one can harm you easily," Edward nodded.Liana was surprised, not by the suggestion of a presidency, but by Edward's
"It's only once?" Liana asked."Yes, but it's worth a lot to me," Edward nodded generously."How is it worth it?" Liana furrowed her brow slightly. "This is the White family's trump card, and you're going to waste it on me, so how is it worth it?""It's worth it," Edward said firmly. He looked at her and said, "For you, everything is worth it. Moreover, it's related to your safety. This crisis is bigger than anything we've faced, and I can't allow any harm to come to you.""I know," Liana nodded. "But I have many methods I can employ to protect myself, and I won't expose myself to danger. Until we reach the point of no return, we shouldn't waste this trump card, and in any case, you can't do it because the situation isn't dire enough, and I'm vehemently against it.""You think I haven't thought about that?" Edward pulled her closer and looked into her eyes. "If the situation doesn't require it, of course, I won't use this trump card. But this situation demands it because you have to w
"Miss Liana, congratulations." After the results were announced, Sonia personally approached to congratulate Liana."Miss Velardes, congratulations to you as well." Liana accepted the extended hand and replied with a faint smile."No, the congratulations are all yours. You dared to enter the race even though you're young. That fearlessness is admirable," Sonia said with a hint of sarcasm.Liana smiled calmly as if she hadn't noticed the hidden jab."Compared to Miss Velardes, I'm still learning. After all, you've spent your whole life in politics, and that's truly impressive.""You praise me, but that's where my passion lies, so I'm happy to be a part of it. On the other hand, Miss Liana suddenly learned to care for the country at such a young age, and that brings shame to my face... Even as your senior, I feel like I should still learn from you, so please take care of me in the future," Sonia said maliciously, hinting at Liana's impure intent in suddenl
"Remember to stay strong. The outcome won't be confirmed until the last second. If you lose your balance now, how will you fight for the rest of the war?" The general sternly admonished his daughter. Like a blow to the head, his words quickly woke her up."Father, you're right, it won't happen again," Sonia promised as she calmed down, and her father nodded in satisfaction."That's more like it. Many years ago, I lost due to a lack of mental preparation as well. You shouldn't follow in my footsteps.""Yes, Father!""As for Liana, let her win for now; after all, it's good to raise your head high, and it will only make you a target. This woman is still so young, so she will eventually fall. She is mentally weaker than you, and victory will inevitably be ours!" The general said confidently. However, Sonia had doubts; was she really more mentally composed than Liana?This was a woman who once destroyed Walter's Project, so they shouldn't underestimate
"Good afternoon..." Just as Sonia was lost in her daydreams, Liana, appropriately dressed, began to speak.Her voice was as usual, neither too fast nor too slow, but there was strength behind every word she uttered. For some unknown reason, she had a natural fascination that would draw everyone's attention whenever she spoke, and her words would have a lasting impact on her listeners."As for this speech today, I'm actually ill-prepared because I've said everything I wanted to say, and that would only devalue it through repetition. I'm an action-oriented person and will do everything to fulfill the promises I've made... I'm not an ideologue, and I won't promise anything that is beyond my real capability. Today, I promise you all that if given the opportunity, I will resolve the diplomatic crisis this country is facing and initiate significant improvements in this country so that no one can intimidate and belittle us anymore, so that all citizens can live in a peaceful, influential, an
"However, General and Sonia refused to accept this result. How could this happen? She should be the winner; how come the announced name was Liana's? They secretly bought many votes before the election, and her votes would definitely be more than half of the total. In other words, at least fifty out of the hundred in total should have supported her. However, the result showed that she only had thirty more votes, and Liana had the remaining sixty votes. So, about twenty people betrayed them and voted for Liana.Sonia turned to her father in total disbelief, and his face was ugly. Even though it was broadcasted live, they had a hard time maintaining composure, and everyone saw their reactions, but no one came to console or pity them. They were busy celebrating Liana's victory and congratulating her. Sonia and her father's faces grew uglier as they witnessed how Liana became the center of attention. Even if they wanted to play some tricks, as mentioned earlier, it was a live broadcast, an
Velardes and Sonia, father and daughter, seized upon Liana's minor social blunder and decided to use it to tarnish her reputation. So, tomorrow, they would release the evidence to incriminate her and ruin her! They would make her pay for thwarting their plan, and unfortunately, no matter what they said, Liana remained impassive. Even the people around her didn't show much reaction."Are you two done?" Liana asked with a raised eyebrow, and Sonia grew furious once again, witnessing Liana's infuriating serenity."Liana, what do you mean by that? Or do you dare to say that we are wrong?""Indeed," Liana's eyes hardened, and she added coldly, "You two are wrong on so many levels.""What do you mean?" Sonia was beyond furious, and Liana smiled coldly from her stance."What do I mean? I'm sure you know what I mean."Her words left Sonia and Velardes surprised and with a nagging doubt."You haven't even stepped out of your mother's womb and you want to make baseless accusations? It's one thi
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
