The paper that Andrew and the others prepared was much tougher this time. They had crafted questions at the level of an international competition. Eden had noticeably slowed down compared to her previous pace.When Andrew saw Eden’s slower progress, he couldn’t help but smile. This was the normal speed of a high school student.But his smile faded when Eden put down her pen and announced, “I’m done.”Andrew’s smile froze in place.He picked up the paper, staring at Eden in shock, then back at the paper, as if the words he wanted to say had vanished from his mind.The questions had been set by five veteran physicists, and Eden had completed them all in just 35 minutes.They weren’t sure how accurate her answers were, but the speed was astonishing.Andrew adjusted his glasses and began marking the papers.The more he marked, the more impressed he became.Even he struggled with some of these questions and had intended to challenge Eden. Yet, it seemed she was on the right track.

Andrew wondered if the Wards were just being polite or if they were making a joke out of him.How could they claim Eden was lacking when she was clearly so gifted?He was so frustrated that his chest felt tight.Without waiting for Alain to respond, Andrew left with the other physicists.Alain looked at Eden and asked, “What happened? Did you upset them?”“Maybe they thought the questions were too easy for me and couldn’t come up with anything harder?” Eden shrugged, still in a good mood.Alain was at a loss for words and didn’t buy her explanation.He shook his head and sighed. “Fine, if they can’t teach you, I’ll find you a few more tutors.”He wanted to support her since she was interested in participating in a physics competition.Eden’s smile froze as she turned to him, her expression darkening.She then said, gritting her teeth, “Are you bored?”“Huh?” Alain was taken aback.What was going on?She was in a good mood just a moment ago; why had her mood shifted so sudd

Alain and Eden arrived at the hotel around the same time as Sinead and Naisha.They all met in the lobby.The moment Naisha saw Eden, she was immediately captivated by her appearance. She took Eden’s hand and said with a wide smile, “My, you really are a pretty little thing. You’re so beautiful that no one can take their eyes away from you.”Eden replied respectfully, “Hello, Ms. Naisha.”Alain had already briefed Eden about Naisha on their way there.Naisha found Eden even more likable when she saw how gracefully she presented herself.As she and Sinead walked behind the couple, Naisha made a playful face and said, “No wonder you’ve been talking about Eden so much. I’d do the same if I were in your shoes. She’s a lovely young woman indeed.”“My son has good taste, you know?” Sinead said with pride.It felt like a praise for her own future daughter-in-law, in a way.Naisha rolled her eyes. “Stop gloating. Why don’t you introduce a nice young woman to my family too?”Sinead ga

Horace was completely stunned.Talia waved her hand in front of him. “Are you alright?”She seemed quite pleasant.“Oh?” Horace quickly regained his composure, feeling a bit embarrassed. “It’s nothing. I was just a little worried when I saw you standing here alone, so I wanted to check if you’re okay.”He glanced at Talia and asked, “Why didn’t you go back home after school? Did Alain forget to arrange transport for you?”“Well, no.” Talia tried to explain. “The driver did come, but I asked him to leave. It’s just that…”Tears welled up in Talia’s eyes. “Today’s my parents’ death anniversary. My brother and Eden wouldn’t let me visit their graves, so… I don’t want to go home.”Unable to hold back, Talia crouched down and started crying.Horace felt a surge of sympathy for her.He didn’t ask why her brother and Eden had stopped her from mourning her parents.However, Horace could tell that Eden’s decision was meant to be in Talia’s best interest. If Eden had insisted on keepin

It was already around ten in the evening when they finished dinner and returned to Skygarden.Horace and Caelus had originally planned to go home, but since they needed to pick something up from Skygarden, they came back together.At the gate, the security guard handed Alain a package. “Your package, sir.”“When did this arrive?” Normally, packages wouldn’t be delivered to Skygarden after eight in the evening unless it was something urgent.It was already past eight when they left.“Just now. The courier insisted we hand it to you personally,” the security guard replied respectfully.Alain nodded in acknowledgment and said nothing further.Once inside, Alain set the package aside, but Horace wanted to open it. “It must be something important if it was delivered so urgently. Let’s see what’s inside.”He began to unwrap the package, and Alain didn’t stop him.There had been quite a few issues lately, so it could be documents from his superiors.However, Alain found it strange.

“Go and focus on your work. Don’t worry about this,” Alain said, shifting his attention back with a blank expression.“But…”Horace wanted to say more, but Caelus dragged him away.Alain took Eden’s hand and whispered, “Let’s go.”Eden glanced at him and hesitated before asking, “Are you in trouble?”“I think so, but it’s nothing serious. The person is probably just trying to scare me,” Alain said, patting Eden’s head with a smile. “Don’t worry. I can handle this. Just focus on your studies.”“Alright.”The next day.The preliminary round for the physics competition.All the students who signed up had to attend the preliminaries at the exam halls.With the tight schedule, the results were announced in the evening after the preliminaries were completed in the morning.The preliminary questions were extremely challenging, and many senior high students had never encountered such questions before. This cut down the number of participants significantly.Out of the 300 students f

Eden ignored them and shifted her attention to Jennifer, her eyes darkening.It was no secret that Jennifer struggled academically. It was a surprise she had even made it to the finals.Noticing Eden’s gaze, Jennifer beamed a smile at her.Eden looked away, her expression almost blank.Next was Grant’s class.He was in a good mood, with five of his students making it to the finals.“You’ve all seen the finals list, right?”The preliminary questions had been set by individual countries, with no input from the international committee overseeing the competition.Still, no one dared to take things lightly.Making it to the finals required real skill.This time, the questions had been prepared by physicists from the Physics Research Institute.They didn’t release the students' scores, only whether they had passed the preliminary round.So, none of the students knew their exact results.“Even though we don’t know your marks,” Grant said, his eyes on Eden, “the principal mentione

"I refuse!" Quin stood up immediately, her face cold. "I don’t want to be stuck with people who will drag the team down. Our class is weaker. If I can’t make it to the finals because of them, wouldn’t that be unfair?"Grant’s expression darkened. "Our class isn’t that bad. We’re all in this together, so we can help each other.""I refuse to be in the same team as them. I want to be with people from the intensive classes," Quin insisted, confident she could secure her place in the finals.She had no intention of letting Eden ride on her success and make it to the finals too.The students from Class 3-18 instantly lost any fondness for her.If she wanted to team up with the intensive class students, why did she join Class 3-18 in the first place?She’d requested the transfer, yet now she looked down on them… What was the point?Everyone felt uncomfortable, but no one spoke up."I agree," Jennifer said simply, breaking the awkward silence.Grant turned to Eden. "What about you?"

Eden had never seen this scarlet rock before. It looked like it had been scorched red by fire, but it felt cold to the touch.She was immediately drawn to it, even though she didn’t think much of it as she picked it up.At first, she thought it might be something unpleasant. But as soon as she touched the rock, a surge of limitless energy flowed into her body, making her realize that her power had reached a new level.Alain finally snapped back to reality, pulling Eden into his arms and patting her head. His voice was rough as he said, “Can you please avoid doing things that make me worry like this?”Eden was taken aback. She had only picked up a rock. What was he so worried about?Then she realized that Alain and Horace had probably seen the mist enter her body.“Alright. I’ll let you know what I’m doing next time.”Only then did Alain seem to relax.He looked at the rock in Eden’s hand and said, “This is called a Styx Rock. An old man gave it to me a few years ago after I sav

The last time Horace was kidnapped, Eden did everything she could to save him.Caelus had been with her for a long time and followed her every command. She wouldn’t just let him die.The two of them had just left the entrance when Horace came rushing over.“I heard Eden is awake. Let me see her!”Horace had been outside organizing the search for the murderer. When he heard Eden was awake, he left everything and came straight over.He treated Eden like a younger sister, so of course, he wanted to visit her now that she was awake.“Yes, I’m awake,” Eden said with a gentle glance at Horace. Then, she gave a slow, meaningful smile as she curled her lips. “I’m going to save Caelus. Come with me.”Horace suddenly shuddered.She turned to Alain. “What’s with her? Why did she smile so frighteningly?”Alain didn’t respond and got into the car.Horace followed them without delay.Caelus had been in the ice coffin for three days, and his body was already starting to deteriorate.Eden

Eden had just walked out of the room when Sinead arrived.“You’re finally awake. I’ve been so worried about you,” Sinead said, taking Eden’s hand. She then checked Eden’s forehead and pinched her face. Once she was sure Eden didn’t have a fever, she finally relaxed.“I’m really sorry for making you worry,” Eden said, her usual shyness showing.“No need to apologize,” Sinead replied. “If it weren’t for you trying to save us, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt so badly. I’ve been feeling guilty about it, so don’t say anything that’ll make me feel worse, okay?”Sinead glanced around at the nurses in the villa, knowing Alain had recruited them recently. “I know these nurses have been carefully selected, but they can’t compare to me taking care of you myself. Why don’t you come back with me? I’ll look after you personally and make sure you get all the nourishment you need.”“Alright,” Eden agreed immediately.Alain, who was behind Eden, could only watch silently.It seemed he had definite

“I… I wouldn’t dare,” the young nurse said, taking a few steps back, visibly trembling.Eden looked up at her. It was clear that the nurse was frightened, though she was trying to hide it.“What’s your name?” Eden asked as she ate the oats, which tasted fresh and just right.“My… My name is Gem. Gem Scarlet,” the nurse replied, her eyes fixed on the floor, avoiding Eden’s gaze.“How old are you?” Eden inquired. Though she was only slightly older than Gem, she exuded a calm, dependable demeanor.“Eighteen,” Gem answered quietly.Eden stroked her chin, observing Gem. “Do you stutter?”“Huh?” Gem looked up in surprise. “No.”Eden continued eating. “Are you afraid of me?”Gem seemed too stunned to stutter anymore and nodded instinctively. “Yes.”But she quickly corrected herself. “No… I… I’m not afraid of you…”Gem’s eyes filled with tears, and she struggled to hold them back.She bit her lip and, with her head lowered, explained, “It’s… It’s Mr. Brooks. He said you have a bad

Even though Hades was known as the king of all Banevermins, it wasn’t always active. Once the person implanted with Hades had consumed enough blood, Hades would fall into a deep slumber.He had just committed several murders, which meant that Hades had been fully fed and wouldn’t be triggered again anytime soon.Eden figured the reason for his sudden activity was that he was searching for a safer place to hide.“The Johnsons?” Liam repeated thoughtfully. “Since Alain is investigating them, and so are you, did they really do something they’re trying to keep hidden from outsiders?”Eden considered this and then decided to share the truth with Liam. “Have you ever heard of the Shamblers?”“Shamblers? One of the kids at the Agency was reading a horror novel a few days ago, and I overheard them mention it…” Liam said, pausing as he stood up suddenly. “Wait, are you saying the things in those novels are real?”Eden thought about it and nodded slightly. “Not entirely, but it’s not too f

Liam was genuinely impressed with Eden’s progress.If his own children had achieved as much, he’d be able to die happy.Eden, however, had a headache.She already knew about it.When Alain told Horace, she was in the same room and overheard it. She was unsure whether to tell Alain or not, wondering if he could accept the world she was part of.The world where the war would take place.After thinking it over, she finally said, “I’ll take it.”“Alright, I’ll send the reply.”Just before hanging up, Liam remembered something. “You’re in Estburg finishing your senior year, right? Almost ready to graduate?”“Yeah.”“With how smart you are, I’m sure you’ll have no trouble getting into a good university. Have you thought about studying in Rielton? We could grab coffee when we’re both free.”Eden replied indifferently, “The Agency must have a lot of free time these days, huh?”“Well, not exactly. I’m working on something pretty complicated and staying busy, but I’m making time to c

Eden massaged her head, glancing at all the nurses surrounding her.They watched her anxiously, afraid they might upset her.“All of you can leave. I don’t need everyone here,” she said, irritated by the crowd.As soon as the nurses heard her, they began to cry. “Did we do something wrong? Tell us and we’ll fix it. Please don’t fire us!”"That's right. Mr. Ward warned us that if we make you unhappy, he’ll kill us.”“We don’t want to die; please let us stay.”Eden froze, then muttered under her breath, “Darn it.”Was Alain out of his mind?Since when did he become so ruthless?Eden lowered her gaze, feeling the tension rise in the room. She glanced at the nurses, who were now kneeling in front of her, sobbing.Frustrated by the crowd, she said, “Just go. Alain won’t kill you.”Turning to Sulien, she instructed, “Pay them five times their salary and send them away.”Sulien, once obedient only to Alain, now followed Eden’s lead. Without hesitation, he paid the nurses as she as

Alain rarely mobilized his organization, and it was even more unusual for him to take a personal interest in anything. But Sinead knew it was serious if he had to step in himself.She remembered the call she had received from the Gardner family earlier, and a sense of unease settled over her.Could the person Alain and Horace were talking about be connected to that?If so, Rielton would become a living hell.The moment Sinead realized this, she quickly pulled out her phone and dialed a number as she walked outside. "I need your help."Three days later, at Pear Garden.Eden woke up shortly after Alain had left.As she opened her eyes, a young woman stood in front of her, staring at her.After a moment, the young woman excitedly exclaimed, "Ms. Griffith is awake, Dr. Sulien. Look!"She had barely finished speaking when dozens of people rushed into the room. Eden instantly frowned.She had only been unconscious for a little while. What... happened?Where did all these people co

Alain arrived just after the rest of the Ward family had left."Why are you here? Is Eden awake?" Sinead asked. She wanted to stay in Pear Garden to take care of Alain and Eden, but with the Ward family pressuring her for answers, she returned to the family residence to handle them first.They had just left when Alain arrived, and she thought Eden might have already woken up."She's still unconscious," Alain replied, unbuttoning the top button of his blazer as he sat down. "I’m here to see grandpa, and then I’ll head to the company."Sinead nodded. "He just woke up. Your uncles were here, arguing with me. He thinks it’s too noisy and doesn’t want anyone disturbing him, so don’t go in for now.""Got it," Alain said, lighting a cigarette. "Can you go stay with Ed in Pear Garden?""Alright."Sinead didn’t say much, grabbed her purse, and left.She had just reached the entrance when Horace rushed in. Without even greeting her, he hurried to Alain."Alain, he’s shown up again."Ho
