Chapter 157 

Outside a basury apartment 

Karl , wearing a black hoodie , casually tossed the crumpled tissue in his hand into the sink .

The white paper quickly dissolved in the water , revealing 

small rest stain that floated briefly before dispersing 

After doing all this , he felt a vibration in his pocket and opened it to see .

 

[ Why hasn’t the live stream ended ! ] 

ון 

That was his question as well .

He had clearly taken Ava off that machine , but the live stream still continuing 

However , he had no objections to this .

In fact, he was quite grateful for the opportunity to help her get revenge .

 

As he thought about it , he looked up at the top floor of the apartment .

The next moment , a notification from his phone made his heart skip a beat .

 

This meant the mission had arrived 

He didn’t even need to look to know that the mission was to destroy the memory viewer , but when he actually opened it , he was a bit surprised 

[ Mission 1 : Destroy the memory viewer before the organization’s secrets are exposed .

[ Mission 2 : Teach a lesson to everyone who has bullied Ava , without being discovered .

He wondered if this was really issued by Selena .

 

Karl could hardly believe his eyes .

He didn’t know when the high and mighty management started getting involved in such matters .

But then again , this was exactly what he was doing .

 

[ Understood ] 

At God Shadow Base , far across the ocean , a giant screen was displaying a live broadcast that the people of Fuvre were all too familiar with .

 

Beneath the screen sat a few figures in black robes and an elderly man in the central seat , seemingly the high – ranking officials of the entire organization .

 

“ Sir ! Why not bring Aval body back for research ? We could definitely discover more from her ! It wasn’t for nothing that we spent a fortune buying her from the research institute in Fuvre .

Now she’s fallen back into their hands , and they even want to expose our whereabouts , ” 

A sexy blonde woman threw a dart the moment he finished speaking , successfully making the man’s already sparse bald head even balder .

 

Then she said , “ Peter , don’t forget who saved you when you were shot .

If it weren’t for Ava’s contributions , would you still be alive ? ” 

To us , she is already a part of the organization , right , Dad ? ” 

Before her father could speak , Peter snorted coldly .

 

“ Selena , only you would consider an experiment a companion .

Even if you’re the Master’s own daughter , you shouldn’t have issued such a mission 10 Karl behind everyone’s back … ” 

Finally , the elderly man could no longer contain himself .

He shook the scepter in his hand and roared 

“ Stop it .

Everyone focuses on watching .

Peter , you go out and helpi them transfer the base’s data ” 

Peter’s expression immediately changed , but before leaving , he couldn’t resist making a final remark .

 

“ Don’t forget that Ava betrayed us .

I took a bullet to save the Master ” 

He was putting on a brave face , but feeling anxious inside .

 

However , he sull trusted Karl’s abilities .

After all , it was just destroying a machine .

He also believed that Karl wouldn’t let emotions get like that dead woman did 

More precisely , Karl had no emotions .

After all , no one would develop feelings for their former target , anyway .

 

t in the w 

way 

As might fell , the scene shifted to the other side of the world .

 

The sound of sirens and an ambulance blared simultaneously .

Karl quickly pulled his hood tighter and slipped away down another route .

Once he reached a safe spot , he reopened the livestream link , searching for his next target

2:35 PM c 

Chapter 157 

As for Ava’s family , he would leave them for her to handle .

She wouldn’t be happy if she woke up and found out otherwise 

Just as he was lost in thought , his phone emitted a surp beep 

It nimed out to be a car horn coming from directly in front of Elysia .

 

The deafening noise caused many people to instinctively cover their ears .

 

In contrast .

Elysia just stared blankly at the familiar sports car in front of her , as if the noise barely registered as a distraction .

 

This left many people confused , and the online comments quickly split into two opposing camps .

 

[ Why does she act like she can’t hear it ? 

# Did the purposely turn up the 

e volume in our 

n our live stream ! ] 

Nonsense , it’s not that boud at all ! What are you guys pretending for ? ] 

( Clearly , you guys have never seen the Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster before .

Its hom is naturally this loud , okay ! I 

Torin pressed the volume button in confusion , but it couldn’t be adjusted .

However , the sound slidris match the hont of this 

Soon , the Blue Ball appeared and explained .

 

“ This live stream solemnly announces that the system has developed a new feature for intelligently matching reality .

It has obtained national approval and successfully integrated with the global surveillance system and satellite positioning systems .

After this live stream ends , this system will be taken over by the state ” 

Additionally , only VR users could achieve an immersive experience .

 

“ No , this is my systent ! This is my invention Who are you ? Let me our 

But what the audience heard in the livestream was garbled .

 

Dr.

Rookwood is so generous ! Donating such a painstaking inventop without hesitation .

But I guess this invention wont be available to entertain us anymore .

Let’s cherish in while we can .

[ We , from the vast Nation , also need this technology .

Please , fundsome and kind Mr.

Rookwood , share it with us I 

[ How much to rent it ? We can all afford it .

] Tolmim asked .

 

Vaplark : [ What a pity ! Will we really not be able to watch live streams anying 

anymore ! Please , please ! Make it into a movie ! ] 

These statements from abroad did not elicit any response .

Some leaders from Fuvre were watching , and they merely steered , feeling quite fortunate .

 

Such a socially beneficial invention didn’t enter the market .

Abroad , they had to safeguard this machine to prevent criminals from using it to harm others for pratis , 

Meanwhile , other Fuvre citizens focused on Blue Ball’s other statements .

 

Do they mean that VR users are saying the sound isn’t loud because Elysia can’t hear now ? What’s wrong with her ears ? Even if they were ta degenerate , it shouldn’t happen this quickly in just a few days ! Did those damn people hit her ears ! 

[ Hmm , isn’t Elysia already in the hospital ? Why hasn’t she had her ears checked ? Stellan even offered to pay for it , and she agrees to be her sister and pay her back later .

I don’t understand ) 

[ Of course , you don’t understand .

After all , you weren’t born with extraordinary hearing .

Elysia has never known what normal hearing is like siner she was a child .

Even now , if she’s injured , she would only feel relieved that she’s finally become like an ordinary person 

At least Elysia’s dream had always been to live an ordinary life .

 

Returning home was to seek refuge , but when this sanctuary could no longer provide protection , she could only strive to be ordinary and blend in with ordinary people .

 

o see the final o 

They were eager to see 

More than half of the world’s population knew her name, had seen what she saw , and felt what she felt .

And this number was still growing .

One day .

it would be the entire world even in the future 

However , Elysia at that time had no idea t this day would come .

At that moment , she was still staring blankly a 

at the ma 

man stepping out of the car 

He reached out a hand toward her .

“ Let’s go home ” 

2/5 

Chapter 157 

This was exactly what she had longed for through all those tortured , mentally breaking days .

She had wished for a hand to save her , to help her , and to say to her , “Tll take you home 

Elysia instinctively nodded , as if she had performed this action countless times in her dreams .

She grasped tightly , stood up , and steadied herself .

 

This time , Stellan drove very smoothly , and there was no sense of shaking at all .

The car came to a steady stop outside a mansion even larger and grander than the Drayton family’s home .

 

This wasn’t even a villa area , but a massive estate built within the mountains .

 

“ You probably haven’t met my dad yet , right ! But it’s okay , my dad is rarely home .

Just treat this place like your own home .

” 

After Stellan finished speaking , he got out of the car and , in a gentlemanly manner , opened the door for her 

However , Elysia was still lost in thought about what she had just heard , 

She had met Stellan’s father before , at a banquet held at the Drayton family’s villa which she attended with 

him .

 

was normal for Stellan to 

But she quickly understood .

After all , she was confined in the villa at that time , and Rupert didn’t allow her to go out .

So , it was think she hadn’t seen him .

 

Thinking this , Elysia smiled at Stellan 

“ Thank you , I will do my best to build a good relationship with your father so as not to make things difficult for you ” 

She had agreed to this request without the consent of his father .

She wondered what his reaction would be when he found out that she was going to live in his house 

But thinking back to the kind middle – aged man she had met before , he probably wouldn’t be difficult to get along with .

Besides , she was already living under someone else’s roof .

 

Stellan didn’t explain .

After helping her out of the car , he walked ahead , leading the way .

 

Until the moment that the heavy , antique door swung open .

 

A middle – aged man in a black tuxedo walked out and stopped in front of them .

 

Just as Elysia was about to greet him , he said , “ Mr.

Rookwood , welcome home .

” 

Elysia was confused , standing there in a daze .

She looked at the middle – aged man , then at Stellan 

The reason was that this face was exactly the same as the one she saw at the banquet that year .

 

Stellan took this moment to introduce her .

 

“ This is Leonel , our family’s burler .

If you have any questions or need I assistance with anything , you can always ask him ” Leonel also smiled at her politely and then said , “I once met you at the Drayton family .

I wonder if you still remember .

 

It turned out he wasn’t Stellan’s father .

 

For the past two years , she had been recognizing the wrong person .

But then , she wondered where Stellan’s father was .

 

Elysia’s heart suddenly accelerated , a panic at the unknown that she couldn’t suppress .

 

Especially when she saw Stellan’s smiling face directed at her .

 

“ Come on , let me show you around .

This is where you’ll be living from now on .

” 

Saying this , he took Elysia by the wrist and led her inside .

She was still flustered and had not yet recovered from her anxious state , stumbling as Stellan guided her in .

 

Leonel reached out a hand towards them as if he had something to say , but it was already too late .

 

In the blink of an eye , the two of t 

them had already reached the living room .

 

The interior decor was starkly different from the villa’s luxurious exterior ; instead , it was very simple .

 

However , the building was so large that even during the day , the inside remained dir .

 

Stellan frowned as he walked to the other side to turn on the lights .

Just as he was about to introduce the living room to Elysia , he unexpectedly saw 

man sitting on the sofa .

Chapter 157 

“ Dad Why … why are you back today ! ” 

Hearing his surprised words , Elysia hurriedly walked up , intending to greet him .

 

home , am I not allowed to returnt 

However , when she came to the side of the sofa , the man said , “ What ? This is my b 

Elysia pauses her steps hearing that voice , and the man turned his head , 

“ Hello , linle Elys ” 

With that greeting .

Elysia hove completely , able to move .

 

After a brief moment of blankness in her mind , countless voices echoed in her heart .

 

He was Stellan’s father .

 

“ Elysia , you’re too foolish .

After hiding for four years , you’ve now walked right into the trap .

You should have realized it sooner … 

Then 

she realized that Stellan’s father must also know her father , Rupert 

Besides , he just called her Elysia .

 

He knew her name and knew who she was 

At that moment , Stellan spoke .

 

“ Dad , you know her name ? But I’d like to ask you to adopt her and let her take our family name .

What do you think ? ” 

He had intended to ease the awkward atmosphere , 

However , after he said this , the atmosphere between the two became even stranger .

 

Stellan couldn’t understand how he ended up being so undsky today .

After all , Jayco came home less than once a year on average .

 

They usually didn’t stay in touch , so naturally , he never mentioned anything about Elysiano him .

 

Jaycob stood up from the sofa , step by step toward Elysia , finally breaking the silence .

 

“ Elysia , Stellan , why not call me beforehand ? ” 

By the time he spoke , his face was very e close to hers .

She could clearly see his rugged face and the dangerous glint in his eyes .

 

029 

Four numbers exploded in Elysia’s mind .

This was the code they used on her for the entire year .

 

She wanted to run , but Jaycob was quicker .

He raised his hand and grabbed her forehead , 

With four fingers together and his thumb pressing on Elysia’s temple , it seemed as if he was measuring her temperature .

 

But Elysia could clearly recall that this was the same gesture he used to stop her head from shaking when he fed her medicine .

 

A brief memory surged , only to be abruptly awakened by a sharp pain in her temple .

 

It felt as if a needle had pierced her skull , but when Jaycob lowered his hand and she reached up to feel , there was nothing unusual .

 

Jayrob turned his head and said to another man in the living room .

 

“ Stellan , she’s got a fever .

Go call the doctor .

” 

Upon hearing this , Elysia didn’t just stiffen : she collapsed to the ground .

 

Whether it was 

it was psychological or caused by the sharp pain she just feh , she suddenly felt her whole body burning 

Jaycob’s actions and words had such a psychological impact on her that she trembled all over , kneeling on the ground , shivering and clenching her 

She just hoped that Stellan would neither agree to his father’s request or leave her here alone .
