Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Fatty packed away Mr. White’s portrait, his goals now tenfold greater than Wraith’s.

Yet, the silver he had in hand had flown away, leaving him somewhat distressed.

Meanwhile, Wraith was already poring over the decomposition simulation diagram of the potion, oblivious to the surrounding ruins.

His sole focus was to swiftly develop the antidote to make Spectre concede defeat.

“Serena, he’s not faking it, is he?” Fatty asked, unsure.

If Wraith were to run off again, finding him wouldn’t be so easy.

Tina’s lips curved slightly, “No, he won’t.”

Wraith was a medical fanatic; once he delved into something, it was hard to pull him out.

His greatest adversary was her.

Wraith had spent half his life trying to defeat her.

Now that he had this chance and was rid of the nuisance of Fatty, why wouldn’t he be pleased?

Most importantly, staying here allowed him to concentrate on his research.

Fatty sighed, “Serena, what about my money then?”

Tina glanced at him, “After this is over, I’ll make sure you get Wraith’s bounty.”

Always talking about money!

Why were those around her so obsessed with wealth?

Upon hearing this, Fatty chuckled, “Alright then, Serena, I’ll be off…”

Before he could finish, Tina kicked him into the lab, “Clean up before you leave!”

Fatty scratched his head.

Well, he couldn’t avoid it after all.

Courtney, too, had figured out the milk tea using the limited equipment that Fatty and Wraith hadn’t wrecked.

“Miss Reed, does my analysis look correct?” Courtney handed her report to Tina.

Tina glanced at it, “Hmm, next time you encounter such a toxin, you’ll know how to handle it.”

Courtney breathed a sigh of relief, then, seeing Wraith still squatting and studying the decomposition diagram, commented, “I thought he was an old man, or at least a middle-aged one. I didn’t expect him to be about the size of a Husky.”

Tina grew curious; Wraith was nearly forty, how could he look so young?

She walked over and sat beside Wraith, “Have you also studied ways to maintain youth?”

Wraith, too busy to look up, pen in mouth, replied, “No, fifteen years ago I conducted an experiment, put too much of something, and it exploded in my face. When I woke up, I ended up like this.”

Tina raised an eyebrow, “So you accidentally discovered immortality?”

Suddenly, Wraith looked up, “I’ve got it, the previous dosage was too little. If I add a bit more, the potion won’t be able to consume it!”

Saying so, Wraith rushed into the lab, cluttering around with various viral agents.

From outside, Tina watched, eyeing the potion in Wraith’s hand, a new idea flashing through her mind.

Courtney looked on bewildered, “Miss Reed, what does he know now?”

Tina shook her head, “What he knows isn’t important; what’s important is that the test tube in his hand is about to explode again!”

As she spoke, a loud bang came from the lab.

Followed by Wraith’s curses, “Damn, it failed again!”

Such explosions were no longer unusual; one would always happen during the day.

Tina wrote down a few formulas on a notepad, left them at Wraith’s desk, and then took Courtney with her to leave.

On the way, Tina received a text from Jared.

“Tina, there’s news from Paula White, missing you, come quickly.”

Tina smiled, a tenderness in her eyes reserved only for Jared.

She replied, “I miss you too, I’ll be there soon.”

Courtney, who had witnessed everything, half-covered her face.

What a mess!

Hayden: “You’ve barely started!”

Nathan: “Indeed, it’s child’s play.”

Jared, Tina: “You’re just jealous, singletons!”

At Paula White’s home.

Her desk was lined with rows of documents, all concerning a new type of bomb.

Mixed in were her own academic papers.

She had modified and refined her original concepts for the new bomb, making it even more dangerous than before.

Jared and Tina arrived almost simultaneously.

The door was wide open, so they walked in.

Courtney and Hayden were left outside to keep watch.

Paula White, with three different colored pens in her hair and dressed in home attire, didn’t even look up as she said, “Here’s what I’ve analyzed so far, take a look.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Tina took the documents and was not surprised by the expertise displayed; within a short time, she had sketched out the internal concept of the weapon.

Paula White, holding a stack of documents, said sternly, “I now need data on the explosions of the new bombs, the more detailed the better, including the power and range of the explosions. You guys from Agency X should have that, right?”

Jared nodded, “Yes, I can get that for you now. Anything else?”

“That’s all for today, just bring it to me,” Paula White said, then buried her head back in the documents.

Tina and Jared exchanged glances; clearly, there was nothing left for them to do here.

They left Paula White’s house, and Hayden quickly approached them, “How did it go?”

Jared smirked, “What exactly are you asking about?”

Hayden stuttered, his gaze shifting, “Of course, I mean the bomb, what else could I be asking about?”

Tina glared at Hayden, “Paula White needs the data from those two explosions from your headquarters, go get it.”

“Okay.” Just as Hayden was about to get into the car, he stopped, “Serena, didn’t she tell me not to bring her documents? Has she changed her mind and wants to torment me again?”

Courtney felt that Hayden seemed rather eager.

Tina shook her finger, “Uncle can’t go to headquarters, you’re the right person for it, and after you bring the documents, Courtney will take them inside.”

Hayden sighed, adopting a resigned expression, “No worries, I can sacrifice once for Serena.”

Tina pursed her lips, her expression saying it all as she watched Hayden.

Jared looked at him with the same expression.

Tina leaned her head on Jared’s shoulder, nearly half her body snuggling against him.

Tall as she was, she seemed somewhat petite and cute at that moment.

Tina sighed softly, “Uncle, my other brothers aren’t this narcissistic, you know?”

Jared tenderly stroked Tina’s hair, “Having such a brother, you’ve got it tough.”

Hayden: Does anyone consider my feelings?

Courtney: It’s your own fault for making me witness this display of affection.

Hayden silently got into the car and sped off, disappearing from sight.

Tina, with a smile in her eyes, said to Courtney, “Let’s go home.”

“Huh? Shouldn’t I stay here to deliver the documents?” Courtney asked in surprise.

“No need.” Tina smacked her lips, “Uncle, I think going home is fine.”

Jared nodded, “Yeah, let’s call Nathan and go have a feast.”
