"But I have a strong feeling that he is a man." Eric told Avery his feelings. He did not have any close friends he could talk to, so he had been keeping his worries bottled up this whole time."Why?" Avery felt that his parents would not have lied to him."I've gotten that impression from chatting with him.""If you two are chatting, then just ask her directly the next time. It's such an important issue, you should get to the bottom of it," Avery suggested. Then, she asked, "Does she know your identity?"Eric hesitated for a while before replying, "I don't think so. My parents introduced me as a rather unknown broadcaster.""Your parents sure are cautious!" Avery chuckled and said, "They only have you as a son. I'm sure they wouldn't introduce a man to you.""My parents can be sensible at times, but sometimes also illogical. Do you know how they introduced this girl to me?" Eric turned to the small bar by his side and picked up a glass of water. He drank some water. "They felt th

"Sebastian, sometimes the mere concept of something is enough to earn you a fortune. I don't actually need them to replicate Angela's reach completely. As long as they manage to recreate a close-enough shell of what it actually is, we can sell it." Dean smiled triumphantly."So how did the meeting go with Angela's team, then? What did they say?" Sebastian's heart sank. If the team had comprehended Angela's research fully, Dean would have the power to blackmail Avery and Elliot; but if they weren't fully familiarized with how the device worked, Dean would not be able to control the two."Only one of them came today and I just had a brief talk with him." Dean leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. "He said that Angela had only exposed each of them to different parts of the whole research so we won't succeed unless we get everyone in that team on board.""I knew Angela would not let anyone near the core information of her research." Sebastian quietly sighed a breath of relief, k

A message notification popped up on Eric's phone.[A message received from 'Big N'.]Eric came out of the shower and heard the notification while he was drying his hair. He reached out for his phone and his lips twitched when he saw the word 'Big N'.What kind of person would name themselves 'Big N' when they were being set up by relatives?His fingers glided on the screen of his phone and typed. [No.][No, what? You are not in Bridgedale?] She replied.[I'm in Bridgedale, but not for you.][Oh, why then? Work? Travel? What do you usually film on your vlog? What's your account name? I want to check it out. *Drooling*]When Eric saw the drooling emoji in the message, he immediately imagined a greasy old man before him. He took a deep breath and turned to pour himself a glass of water to calm down.He thought back to what Avery had said to him earlier that day and summoned up the courage to reply. [Are you a man or a woman? My parents said you are a girl, but I don't really feel

Meanwhile, in Aryadelle, Elliot had rested for the whole night and sent both Robert and Layla off to school the next morning.When he arrived at Layla's school, he ran into Leah, who gasped when she saw him.Leah knew that Elliot was back but had thought that he was too weak to go outside, which was why she was surprised to see him out and about like a normal person."Mr. Foster, how are you doing? You look great," Leah said."Yeah. I feel alright so far," Elliot said, before changing the subject. "I heard that you were the one who told George that your cousin was behind what happened in Ylore. I haven't had the chance to thank you.""You are too kind, Mr. Foster. Even if it wasn't you but someone else who had fallen victim to such a trap, I would have told the truth as well. I didn't do it so you will thank me. I only did it because my conscience told me to, so you and Miss. Tate should really stop thanking me. She's already thanked me on messages multiple times," Leah said sheep

"This brings us back to the question we discuss on the very first day: whether reviving the dead is really possible." Peter was extremely excited when he talked about this. "Angela might have won the Marshall's Award and she seemed to have had it all, but there was only one successful case for her research and that is Elliot."Avery already knew what he was about to say."Avery, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? All the past winners of Marshall's Award had countless successful cases for the medicine or medical methods they had invented. The high success rate is precisely what proved that they made great contributions to society, hence leading them to the Marshall's Award. Don't you think it's odd that Angela won the award when her experiment had only ever succeeded once?"Avery did not respond.She was rendered speechless, but at the same time, she had already learned that Angela won the award through unofficial means through Professor Greens."Marshall’s Award is th
