The Million-Dollar Heart

Percival plugged the USB drive into his tablet, and his eyes narrowed with surprise as a video played before him.

The video depicted the exact scene where Percival was currently seated, but instead of him, it was a woman without a face! Her figure was identical to F-Poison's!

She wore wireless earbuds and was reciting the exact words that had echoed over the cliff earlier that day.

There was no doubt about it - she was F-Poison!

The video continued until the moment the android exploded, and F-Poison's tablet smoked and shattered.

Afterward, she swiftly fled the scene, vanishing without a trace.

Yet, throughout the video, there was no sign of Noah.

Vance watched Percival finish the video and said slowly, "I only ever told Noah about this apartment. But I also told him that you had discovered my extensive property investments and knew all my secrets." Percival set the tablet down. So, Noah wanted to exploit this leak to ultimately clear his own name.

Either Vance would take the fall for him, or all the blame would be dumped on Percival!

Elsewhere, F-Poison strapped on a new mask, the corners of her eyes heavy with fury as she stared at her reflection.

"Boss, Karen somehow survived. What's going on here?"

F-Poison struck out in anger. "You're asking me? Who the hell should I ask? After all these years of funding you, you can't even handle one little girl!"

Noah spat out blood, his aged body unable to withstand her powerful slap.

Struggling, he slowly rose from the ground. "My mistake. I personally confirmed Karen's death. I never imagined she'd fake it, just like Ulysses Sheldon, playing dead."

"You're useless! Our bionic secrets are out, and we can't let Karen and her damned daughter find any more leads!"
