Chapter 1 The Poisoned Flight Begins

Sabrina Whitmore's voice was bell-like, but each word sounded like shards of glass stabbing into my ears. I could still feel the bone-deep cold lingering in my limbs.I snapped my eyes open as I felt the soft lighting above my first-class seat and the warm leather seat beneath me. I mechanically looked out the window and saw clouds outside the window like cotton candy. I was alive again.I lowered my gaze to my hands. My fingertips were still faintly bluish-purple, but blood flowed through them. I felt warm… Alive."Lucia, what do you think? This way, everyone can practice emergency response in a real scenario." Sabrina tilted her head, looking at me with an innocent smile.I knew that face all too well.In my previous life, she had used that same harmless expression to dress up a deliberate poisoning as the whimsical idea of a genius girl. My idiot ex-boyfriend, Cedric Gray, had been sitting right beside her, indulgently brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear.Profes

Chapter 2 The First to Fall

No one paid any attention as the tampered drinks were pushed down the aisle on the service cart because they assumed that Sabrina had likely just added a mild laxative—something that would only make people take an embarrassing trip to the bathroom.It was all harmless fun.Matt even volunteered, carrying two spiked glasses of juice over to economy class. He wore the act of a friendly student as he struck up a conversation with the foreign teams. "Come on, try some. This is Sinoria's special fruit blend. I wish everyone the best in the competition."He came back grinning, dropping into his seat with a look of smug anticipation. "Done. Their lead surgeons all drank it."Sabrina clapped her hands, clearly pleased. Then, she picked up a glass of orange juice and leaned toward me, tilting her head as she studied my face. "Lucia, why aren't you eating anything?"I opened my eyes and looked at her coldly. "I'm allergic to in-flight meals."She rolled her eyes, her voice rising sharply.

Chapter 3 Forty Minutes to Death

A young contestant was clutching his throat as he collapsed from his seat.Right after him, a lead surgeon from another country convulsed as blood burst from the corner of his mouth. Then a third, fourth, fifth… The poisoned victims fell like falling dominoes, dropping like mayflies one after another.The chief flight attendant rushed to the intercom, her voice trembling. "Attention, passengers, we are experiencing a medical emergency. If there are any medical professionals on board, please identify yourselves immediately!"William finally lost his composure. He grabbed Sabrina's wrist, squeezing so hard her bones nearly cracked. "How much did you use? Why are people dying?"Sabrina had gone white with terror. Her lips trembled, tears streaming down her face as she blubbered the sentence that dragged everyone into hell. "I-I left in a hurry… I might've taken the wrong sample… "The XN Neurotoxin sealed in the deepest part of the lab… I-I must've brought that instead…"The air aro

Chapter 4 Judgment in the Sky

The area around our first-class seats was so quiet that one could hear a heartbeat. Or more accurately, the steady beeping of a heart monitor.The elderly foreign expert in the front row was already covered with a white sheet, and the air reeked of disinfectant mixed with the acrid stench of black foam.Cedric's hand trembled violently as he held the certificate.Everyone present knew exactly what my title meant. It was the highest level of oversight in the international medical field. I possessed the authority to audit competition teams for violations. I had the power to disqualify an entire team with a single decision.Sabrina shrieked, her voice breaking, "You did this on purpose! You chose not to stop me! You wanted me to fail so you could step over me!"I glanced at her blandly. "Did you inform me when you poisoned them? Did you ask me when you swapped the samples? Did you get anyone's consent when you mixed unknown substances into dozens of innocent passengers' drinks?"Sab

Chapter 5 When Survival Turns Savage

Now, that same hell had been flung back to the ones who created it.Cedric was shivering uncontrollably, his lips turning a dark purplish-blue as his teeth chattered violently. His eyes locked onto the only thermal blanket on the other side of the aisle.Sabrina saw it as well.Both of them reached out at the same time. However, Cedric didn't hesitate to give himself better odds. He lifted his foot and drove it straight into Sabrina's chest.She was sent flying backward, her body slamming hard against the armrest. She collapsed into the aisle, staring at the man who had been tenderly wiping cream from the corner of her lips just an hour ago. "Cedric… y-you kicked me?"Cedric wrapped the blanket tightly around himself and didn't even spare her a glance.Tears and mucus ran together down Sabrina's face. Whatever faith she had left was shattered completely after that single kick.At the same time, William turned toward the cameras raised by the foreign team and shouted frantically,

Chapter 6 A Reckoning Without Mercy

Matt had already been driven delirious by the toxin, murmuring over and over, "I don't want to die… I don't want to die…"The international medical rescue team flooded in right after, prioritizing the foreign victims as they were lifted onto stretchers and rushed out of the cabin. The entire process was swift and efficient.However, not a single person spared the Sinoria team a second glance. In their eyes, these people were no longer competitors. Instead, they were criminal suspects.At that moment, a middle-aged man in a dark suit boarded the plane. A World Health Organization badge was pinned to his chest, and two translators and a security officer followed closely behind him.He stepped over vomit and shattered glass, passed through the armed police cordon, and walked steadily toward me. Then, he gave a slight bow. "Ms. Scott, I'm Martin Webber, liaison officer from the World Health Organization headquarters in Genivia. Please come with me. You are now fully under my protecti

Chapter 7 A Fate Worse Than Death

Every page was backed by irrefutable data and recorded footage.The livestream comments were flooded with the same phrase, "Serves them right."Sabrina survived, but the XN Neurotoxin had destroyed her motor nerve center. As a result, she was paralyzed from the neck down.Her brain was still functioning well enough, so she could hear and see. However, she would never again be able to move even a single finger. She would be stuck on an ICU care bed for the rest of her life.William didn't last long in detention. By the third day, the combined blows of his ruined reputation, his students turning against him, and his family abandoning him had shattered his mind. He suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage at 3 a.m.He was saved after seven hours of emergency treatment, but he was done for. When he woke, all he could do was drool and giggle vacantly. He recognized no one, not even himself.…Three months later, it was raining lightly in Genivia. Today was the day the international c

Chapter 8 Buried by Their Own Hands

"There would be no lasting damage at all."Sabrina's eyes bulged out of her sockets violently."What a shame." I straightened and looked down at her face. "Back then, Cedric tried to cover up his mistake of injecting the wrong antidote. He stopped anyone from touching your IV line because he was afraid that the bloodletting records would expose his error."Meaning… You could have stood up again, but he condemned you to a lifetime in bed."The blood vessels in Sabrina's eyes swelled until they looked ready to burst. Her features twisted into something grotesque.Dark blood seeped from the corner of her mouth as she grunted furiously.The monitor beside her erupted into a shrill alarm, and a nurse burst through the door.I adjusted my collar, turned, and walked away without so much as a backward glance.…The international tribunal's courtroom was packed to capacity. Media from 137 countries had set up their cameras, and the gallery was filled with representatives from the globa

Chapter 9 Leaving the Cold Behind

I'd already packed my bags. All I needed was two 28-inch suitcases to hold everything I owned.Before I left, I took one last look at the dorm I had lived in for four years. My eyes fell on the desk where a photo frame sat. It was a team picture.I picked it up and looked at it for three seconds.In the photo, William looked kind and gentle, Cedric stood tall and handsome, Sabrina smiled brightly, Matt flashed a peace sign, and I stood at the very edge with a strained smile on my lips.I turned the frame face down, pulled up my suitcase, closed the door, and left.…The VIP lounge at the airport was quiet.The footage of the international tribunal's sentencing played on loop on the television mounted on the wall—Cedric, William, and the others were escorted into prison vehicles in heavy shackles. The screen showed in high definition how their once-proud heads were now buried low in shame.My new assistant sat across from me, watching the news and shaking her head. "Ms. Scott,
