Chapter 202-
In the dim light from the fire, Stephanie’s gaze was sharp as she looked into Mia’s eyes.
Mia was astonished. She didn’t expect that this woman would think of so many secrets.
“You….
Stephanie grinned. “You have lived a long life. I will find out everything even if you don’t tell me. It’s just a matter of time.”
“I’ll tell you!” Mia didn’t want to die. “I’ll tell you what I know! Forty years ago, I saved a man from being hunted. He made a deal with me. I offered him the parasites, and he gave me a lot of money. But I didn’t ask for money. I just wanted something that killed people invisibly because I hated Louisa and the whole Terodt Village to my core. I only knew how to kill people with parasites which were familiar to them. After I made a deal with the man, he provided me with the parasite we don’t have in our country. I secretly threw parasites into the well of Terodt Village, so they all died under the age of 50 one after another.”
“Isn’t the well water all connected? So why aren’t you people infected?”
Mia said, “Ever since I claimed the people of Terodt Village were cursed, the people in our village have been very careful. We don’t drink well water at all but get water from the stream”
Stephanje understood the whole story. “Co on
Mia roughed. “I keep in touch with that man. When he needed the parasites, he would send someone to fetch them and pay me a lot of money. I began to grow old as time went by. Then I asked him if he had something to help me stay young forever. He took me to a place where I was tested. It took me about a year to look youthful, as if I were in my 40s, and I still do.”
Stephanie asked. “Where did you go? What did that man look like?
Mia thought for a moment before saying. “I don’t know where it is, but I think it was on the plane. The man was handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes. I never saw his face again because he was wearing a mask.”
“Can you draw a picture of him?”
Mia shook her head. “I don’t remember how he looked. It was too long ago. But he has a grandson. I heard him call that man Grandpa.
Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “You seem to tell me something, but none is useful
Mia struggled to recall and said anxiously, “And the snow leopards! His grandson raised them! I saw them once and I almost got binen!”
Stephanie was taken aback..
Snow leopard?
There were snow leopards on Mount Silverlake, so someone raised snow leopards over there?
Mount Silverlake Lab?
Could it be that the person behind Mount Silverlake Lab was the same one who experimented on Mia?
Stephanie felt that she was only one step away from the answer
“Have you seen that man’s grandson?”

“No, I’ve been locked up in the lab. I saw snow leopards because the nurse had neglected to shut the door. According to what I’ve heard, the child was only five years old back then. That kid was terrible to keep such animals.”
Stephanie pursed her lips. Twenty years had passed, and now the child would be 25 years old.
Mia begged, “Can we spare me and my son? Can you remove the parasite for me?”
Stephanie asked. “Can you think of anything else useful?”
Mia shook her head. “Nothing else.
Stephanie smilingly stood up and looked down at her. “I can let you go, but I don’t know if Terodt villagers will let you go. Zane, have these two taken to Terodi Village. They will deal with it themselves.”
Mia’s eyes widened. “You’re lying?
Stephanie waved her hand and said, “Take them away!”
At that moment, there was a commotion at the village entrance,
Stephanie looked through the crowd and was surprised when she saw Joseph pushing Vincent in. She smilingly ran to them through the crowd.
When Vincent raised his hand to stop Joseph.
Vincent got up and walked toward Stephanie. When he came near her, he pulled her into his arms.
He hugged her tightly. “Stephie, how are you? Are you injured?”
Stephanie shook her head. “No, I’m fine. Be gentle. What if I touch your wound?”
“No, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“You’re lying, Stephanie resorted
Vincent said softly, “I’m not lying It really doesn’t hurt anymore NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
I don’t believe it. Let me see.”
Vincent let go of her and allowed Stephanie to check him out. I’m really fine”
Looking at his thin cheek, Stephanie raised her hand and stroked it gently. Her eyes were full of distress. “Nonsense! The wound on your skin has healed, but it is still very fragile inside You must have lacerated your wound when you hugged me.”
“No, I didn’t. Vincent grabbed her hand. “Check it out tonight if you don’t believe me.”
Stephanie glanced at him and whispered, “You’re teasing me now
Vincent laughed in a low voice. “Am I? When I get better, I will tease you more.”
Stephanie pursed her lips and smiled. “You are so annoying. By the way, I will tell you what happened.”
She told him what Mia and Caven did.
Vincent frowned. “So, the one who runs Mount Silverlake Lab is the man who provided parasites to Mia or that man’s grandson.”
Stephanie nodded. “That’s very likely.”

Vincent said. “Let’s interrogate Mia again.”
“Okay”
Stephanie and Vincent clasped hands. When they were about to walk to Mia, Joseph shouted seriously with the tracker in his hand. “Zane. run! There is a bomb!”
Zane immediately reacted and ran away quickly.
With a loud bang, the disgusting smell of blood diffused in the air.
At this critical moment. Vincent protected Stephanie under his body.
Stephanie put her hands on his shoulders and asked, “Vincent, are you okay?”
Vincent said with pale lips, “Yes, I am okay. Don’t worry.”
Stephanie moved away from under him and helped him sit up on the ground. “Let me take a look.
She lifted his T–shirt and was relieved to see his wound was fine. Do you feel nauseous?”
“No. relax”
Stephanic nodded. She looked at where Mia had been, only to see scattered pieces of flesh.
Gaven was killed too because he had been close to Mia.
He had been torn into pieces.
The villages began to retch in disgust.
Stephanie helped Vincent up and looked at Joseph. “How did you find out?”
Joseph said, “The tracker is equipped with a bomb–monitoring system that serids out an alarm when it detects a bomb. I guess the one behind the scenes also received the signal and set off the explosive device for fear that Mia might be I: looks like an act of Twilight Corps.”
Zane, who ran from not far away, breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you for reminding me.”
exposed.
Vincent scowled and said, “Twilight Corps prefers to use self–inflicted explosions. The last time Olivia’s substitute blew up, Twilight Corps denied it. If Twilight Corps has nothing to do with this incident, it means someone is imitating the organization and trying to shift the blame on them.”
Stephanie said, “Mia started to have cardiac problems 20 years ago. It means the one behind the scenes has planned it for two decades. This person is up to something big
