Lahat ng Kabanata ng After My Death, I Became A Genius: Kabanata 161 - Kabanata 170

VICTORVeronica had explained it all for me on the call.She told me that the corpse belonged to a killer from the Abyss.I knew she meant it as a casual heads-up; if I couldn't make the time to deal with it, she would have found another way.She had only asked for a couple of my guys to handle it. She probably never expected me to drop everything and race over here.But the second she mentioned a body, my mind went numb.Seeing that she didn't have a single scratch on her, a wave of relief washed over me, knocking the wind out of my lungs."I was worried about you," I admitted flatly, stepping past her into the room.Cassius and two of my personal bodyguards followed closely.The moment they crossed the threshold, I heard them collectively catch their breath, a sharp gasp cutting through the quiet.The perfectly arranged bedroom was now a total disaster.The television was shattered, the couch was gou

SAVANNA (VERONICA)This great philanthropist was going to host a public welfare charity auction in two days.Given his identity now, the attendees were expected to be anything but ordinary...Two days later, the large charity auction held at a private mansion in the heart of Kingsport went off as scheduled.Luxury cars pulled up one after another. Most of Kingsport's big shots had shown up, many bringing their families along.For the sake of charity, everyone wore a modest front, but a closer look revealed highly refined outfits, from neatly styled hair down to their pristine shoes.At a glance, both their attire and their demeanor were extraordinary.They all belonged to the same exclusive circle. Standing by, I watched them verify their identities with invitations in hand while exchanging pleasantries on their way in.When I stepped out of my taxi, I was wearing my regular black sweats. It didn't take long to realize I had su

SAVANNA (VERONICA)The three people turned their heads in unison and looked at me.Just as Nathaniel opened his mouth to say something, Victor's deep voice bit him. "Like it?" he asked, leaning in.I just gave him a passing glance and didn't bother to respond.Before the auctioneer could even call my bid, a sharp woman's voice cut across the hall. "Eleven million."I didn't blink. I immediately raised my hand again. "Fifteen million.""Very well, this young lady bids fifteen million. Is there anyone willing to go higher?" the host announced."Seventeen million." The same woman again shouted."Twenty million," I countered smoothly. Sort of amused.I had heard that voice before. It was the same woman who had mocked my appearance, wasn't she? Probably Erica.What was she trying to do actually? Challenge me? Well, then... She asked for it."Alright, the young lady bids twenty million,"&

SAVANNA (VERONICA)I felt Victor's questioning gaze on me. Quite obviously, he was stunned.Generally, I wouldn't have ever bothered to answer anyone, but when it comes to Victor, at times, I find myself a bit helpless.When he started probing with his sarcastic tone, I already knew what he was thinking. Therefore, I gave him an honest answer. However, it didn't seem enough for him.This man was growing greedier day by day, wasn't he? Would he be the same when he learned who I truly am?A quiet sigh left my tongue and I turned to him."I have some other work to do with his number. I can't tell you now."This phone number wasn't for chatting but for monitoring Liam's phone. I could've said so, but it would make me even more agitated, and I didn't want to involve him in the matters of Abyss.Before retiring, King must have laid a good foundation for himself and established power in Kingsport. If he took over the Kingsport branch

The entire corridor went dead silent. Every single doctor stiffened, their eyes instantly igniting with a strange, worshipful enthusiasm.But the moment the words left my mouth, a rare spike of regret hit me. I could feel Victor's sharp, calculating gaze drilling into the side of my face.Damn it. I spoke too fast.Of course they knew Dr. Sabrina. The entire medical world knew that name, a mythical genius surgeon who had emerged like a storm and then vanished.But only a few knew that her becoming a surgeon was solely to eliminate a corrupt medical researcher of Coral Bay."Well? Do you know her?" the chief doctor pressed, stepping closer, his breath hitching. "Are you her student? Or are you..."Under their desperate, burning stares, I mentally forced myself to calm down.I raised a hand, casually rubbing the bridge of my nose to mask a rare, two-second flash of awkwardness."I... I've just heard about her," I muttered flatly.
