Chapter 2056 Familiar Scent

Author: Night Eleven
After Aria and the others stepped inside, the old man began explaining patiently. "In this first display case is a replica of the Henson Statue from Riverson.

"I must admit that I couldn't tell it was a replica at first glance. Some experts even mistook it for the genuine article the first time they saw it."

He moved on, gesturing gracefully. "Here, we have a black pottery eggshell bowl from the volcanic era. The craftsmanship speaks for itself. This piece was donated by a private collector."

The old man carried himself with refined eloquence, reciting details of ancient civilizations with ease. Next to each display cabinet, small plaques marked the items as private donations or legal acquisitions.

Aria feigned admiration. "These artifacts have been verified, I assume?"

The old man nodded with a smile. "Of course. We enforce the strictest provenance checks to ensure every item complies with international conventions."

Aria smiled. "But I noticed that most of the exhibits are rep

    Aria's words seemed to have triggered something in Iris. The girl suddenly clutched her head in pain.Aria quickly leaned over. "Iris, what's wrong?""M-My head hurts so much." Iris whimpered, pressing her hands against her temples. It felt as if tiny needles were piercing her skull. Without hesitation, Aria drew a silver needle and precisely inserted it into the correct acupoint. Iris immediately went limp and fainted into her arms.While cradling her, Aria placed a hand on her pulse."Her pulse is normal, but judging by her reaction just now, something is clearly off," Aria observed with a frown. Landon glanced over. "She might have been triggered by something. Maybe something we said or did made her remember something."Aria lowered her gaze. "Perhaps. She got triggered when I mentioned a new outfit. Perhaps there's a clue on that pink dress she's wearing."She carefully leaned Iris against her shoulder and examined the dress, but after a thorough search, she found nothing

    Wesson looked at Aria as though he wanted to speak, yet in the end, he bowed his head in defeat and let out a heavy sigh. From the moment he answered that call, he knew he had already lost the game he had so carefully orchestrated.Aria, staring at him coldly, was his most formidable opponent despite her seemingly delicate appearance.His sigh was like a stone dropped into a still pond, sending invisible ripples through the silence of the interrogation room.Wesson waved his hand, signaling that he wanted peace. The guard at the door quickly stepped out, quietly closing the door behind him. Matters of this level were far beyond his pay grade.Aria watched him calmly, showing no trace of triumph. It was as if she had foreseen everything and was merely waiting for it to unfold."What do you want to talk about?" Wesson's voice was hoarse, weighed down by fatigue."Something simple." Aria pulled out a chair, sat, and leaned forward, her eyes fixed on his. "Where are the relics si

    A knock on the door stopped Wesson mid-step. He frowned and called, "Who is it?""Mr. Laker, it's urgent," a low voice answered.Wesson opened the door. The man leaned in and whispered, "Bad news. Dozens of companies have come forward to vouch for Mr. York's innocence. They say NIO has no right to detain him without proof.""Landon York has that much influence?" Wesson said, puzzled but unwilling to release him."Spread the word that he hacked NIO. Nobody will question it," Wesson ordered.His subordinate shook his head. "It won't work. The treasury department has intervened. The secretary himself called about Mr. York. Rumor says he's one of the twin titans of Parker Street."Wesson inhaled sharply. "The twin titans of Parker Street? The ones who can topple a company with one word? Keep an eye on this. I'll pay him a visit later.""Okay, Mr. Laker."Wesson then entered the interrogation room. Landon sat cross-legged, calm. The handcuffs only emphasized his composed presence.

    Wesson asked in a deep voice, "What are you trying to do?"Aria answered casually, "Isn't it obvious? I have control of your terminal. I reverse-hacked into NIO's non-core display systems through your internal network."It's not just the screen you're looking at. Several dozen shared screens across the NIO building are showing the same thing. You can't turn it off unless you kill the main network."Aria paused for a moment. "But what will your superiors do to you if you do that?" she added.Wesson was rooted to the spot, drained of energy. He watched the flag with the dragon emblem ripple across the screen while the Farshyan anthem pounded in his ears.Humiliation and fury overwhelmed him, unlike anything he'd felt before. Aria was crushing his pride and authority."Y-You're out of your mind," he stammered. "You've just declared war on Athara.""War?" Aria curled her lips. "Mr. Laker, do you think the Atharan government will see it that way? All they'll conclude is that you came

    Wesson grinned, pulling an envelope from the drawer and tossing it onto the desk. Aria didn't move, but Sam leaned forward and opened it. The envelope was stuffed with photos. One showed Georgina smiling brightly as she chatted with neighbors in Clearwater Alley. Others showed Warren, Titus, and even Aria's brothers.Sam clenched his fists and shot Wesson an icy stare. Aria sensed him and hurried over. "It's fine. I'm here."Landon's gaze was even colder. No one had ever dared threaten him with Titus."Wesson," Landon said coolly, "if we were alone here, or if you weren't NIO's chief, you would have been dead in a second."Wesson leaned back in his chair and spoke in an unhurried voice. "Ms. Carver, Mr. York, I'm only trying to make you accept the truth. Threatening me won't change anything. I'd rather you do something now and die with me."Aria's expression tightened; an iciness flickered across her face. "I believe you wouldn't want them to have accidents. They could be hit
