Caelus and Xander exchanged glances.After a moment, Xander asked, "How does the police chief know Ms. Griffith?"Caelus, equally curious, turned to look at Eden. "I don’t know."Alain glanced at Eden from the corner of his eye and said slowly, "You’re full of surprises, Ms. Griffith."Eden always managed to surprise him.Eden returned the glance, her face expressionless. "When did Horace disappear?"If it were anyone else, she wouldn’t have interfered. But because it involved Horace, she had to step in."For the past two weeks, prominent families in Rielton have reported their sons and daughters missing. No ransom calls, and after 24 hours, sawed-off limbs were delivered to their families. No one can track down the person behind it."Alain guided Eden to a nearby sofa and sat her down. Noticing her cold hand, he tucked it into his pocket. "Horace is the tenth to disappear. He’s been missing for 20 hours."A few days ago, Horace and Caelus were sent to investigate an issue in

Eden emphasized once more, “Remember, I want every single piece of security camera footage.”Jason nodded. “I’ll have my team get on it. What else do we need?”“Do we have the bodies of the people who disappeared from Estburg?” Eden asked.“We do.”“Then let’s head to the forensics lab and get the equipment ready.”Jason nodded and instructed his team to prepare.He didn’t think twice about following the orders of a 19-year-old girl.Once Jason left, Eden turned to Alain. “Do we have anyone in Rielton?”“We do,” Alain replied with a smile, his hands in his pockets.“What about Estburg?” Eden asked, smiling as if nothing was wrong.She was in no rush.“We do as well,” Alain said, his eyes narrowing and his smile widening.She looked different when she was serious.“Arrange for our men to guard all the entrances and exits in Rielton and Estburg.”“Alright.”Alain gave Caelus a look, and Caelus immediately understood and left.Eden didn’t glance at him again and went strai

Eden felt like she had seen this person before, but her memory was a bit fuzzy; she couldn’t quite place it.She rested her chin on her hand while tapping the table with a cold expression.This wasn’t a simple task.The technician quickly sent all the other footage to Eden’s computer.Without thinking about anything else, Eden began reconstructing all the deleted footage.It was a massive job. Alain, who knew little about digital technology, couldn’t assist. Seeing Eden’s intense focus, he poured a glass of hot water and placed it on her table.Eden worked swiftly. Within twenty minutes, she had restored all the deleted footage.She continued her work.A red dot on the screen scanned the footage, while Eden’s fingers flew over the keyboard.After half an hour, Eden stopped working.At the same time, the red dot on the screen stopped on an old-style apartment.Alain checked the time. They had two and a half hours left.“Xander,” Alain called out, tucking his mobile into his

When Horace faced the kidnapper, he was unable to defend himself before being knocked out.Recalling the man, Horace couldn’t hide his terror. “Alain, he’s not just a man. He’s a monster.”Alain’s expression grew serious. It was rare for anyone to scare Horace this much.“You won’t believe it, but that man… No, that monster… He doesn’t have a face,” Horace said, shaking his head. “Or rather, he has a face but no skin.”The more Horace tried to explain, the more confused he became. “Let me put it this way. His face was all bloodied, and his skin seemed to be rotting. It looked like it had been burned, but not exactly burned. Anyway, I can’t really describe what he looks like.”Eden narrowed her eyes as she listened to Horace’s description. “What did he do to you?”“Caelus saved me before he could do anything,” Horace replied, his eyes filled with fear. “He… He drank human blood right in front of me…”Eden stroked her chin thoughtfully, considering his words carefully.After a mo

The students felt a lot of pressure as they tackled the questions set by the Physics Research Institute lecturers.However, they all knew how rare it was to have Andrew teaching them personally, so none of them complained.After finishing the questions, they were led to their dorms by their teachers.“Professor Hughes's questions were so tough. I didn’t even get to the last few questions,” Joy said with a frown as she came out.“Those are just national-level questions. If they were international-level, I’d be out in the first round,” Ewan said, hanging his head low. “I thought I could finally make my family proud in this physics competition, but I guess I should start packing up now.”Jennifer turned to Eden. “Do you think it was difficult?”Eden glanced at her. “Not really.”“I think so too,” Jennifer said with a smile. “But it is quite challenging for those at the Senior level.”Eden didn’t continue the conversation and instead looked at her phone.It was a message from Alai

Daphne took the knife and grinned. “What a great idea.”She then grabbed Jasmine by the chin and said coldly, “I’m going to make sure you appear with ‘whore’ written on your face during the national stream. You’ll look fantastic with it.”“You can’t do that. I’m from the Hunt family. My dad and my grandma won’t let you get away with this,” Jasmine cried out desperately, her heart racing.“The Hunt family? Compared to mine, your family is nothing. You’re not even worthy of being my family’s household staff,” Daphne said, a cruel glint in her eyes. She raised her hand, ready to start carving on Jasmine’s face.Jasmine was held in place by Daphne’s underlings and had no choice but to close her eyes and brace for the worst.However, she felt no pain at all. She opened her eyes, stunned by what she saw.It was Eden.Eden was holding Daphne’s wrist with a stern expression. “Who do you think you are, trying to hurt my younger sister?”Eden was known for many traits, but one that stood

Ewan blinked. Did he hear that right?The chief wanted him to take on the huge, bulky bodyguards?With his build?He’d probably be flattened by them.“It’s still the mourning period for Eden, so she can’t get into a fight,” Joy whispered to Ewan. “She’s always been kind to you… Now’s the time to repay that kindness.”Ewan considered it, gritted his teeth, and charged at the bodyguards with his fists ready.He threw a punch at one of the bodyguards with all his strength.But the bodyguard just stood there, taking the hit without moving a muscle.Ewan blinked.He looked at his fist.Then at the bodyguard.When did his punches get so strong?Could he really become the boss just with his fists?Ewan threw another punch, but the bodyguard remained unmoved.Ha!Ewan laughed and attacked the other bodyguards, leaving bruises on their faces. Yet, they still didn’t budge.Daphne, seeing what was happening, felt her anger boiling. “You idiots! I told you to beat them up, not to g

The Physics Research Institute wasn’t too far from Rielton’s city center. Although it was already evening, thanks to the Taylor family’s influence, getting into the institute wasn’t difficult.The head butler of the Taylor family arrived with his squad of bodyguards.When Daphne saw him, she quickly pointed at Eden and said, “That’s her, Mr. Taylor! Capture her!”Mr. Taylor looked at Eden; she looked familiar, but he couldn’t quite place her.Since he couldn’t remember where he had seen Eden before, he asked, “Are you the one who’s been causing trouble for Ms. Daphne?”Eden ignored him and said to Ewan, “If you’re tired, take a break. There’s going to be round two.”Ewan immediately stopped, obeying Eden’s command.“Anyone who bullies Ms. Daphne will have to pay the price, no matter who they are,” Mr. Taylor said, his irritation growing as Eden continued to ignore him. “You can choose to either lose an arm or a leg.”Daphne added, “Or you could have your face scarred.”“What i
