Chapter 496: Five Poisons
Tina's expression was grim.
It seemed urgent to accelerate the development of a new type of bomb detector; another incident like this could
have unimaginable consequences. However, Abigail's face showed no relief. Tina noticed and asked, "What's
wrong?"
Abigail shook her head, "It's not right, there should be thirty-one, he found one yesterday..."
As she spoke, Abigail touched the hairband on her head.
It was a gift from the person she loved most, cherished immensely and worn on her head to adorn the hair she
treasured.
Just yesterday, her lover had said to her with deep affection, "I love your hair the most, and with this, you look
even more beautiful."
Tick-tock, tick-tock, three seconds left.
Her eyes reddened, and she dashed out of the Farrell family home.
Tina and Jared had no tto say anything before hearing a loud bang.
After a cloud of smoke, only a broken necklace remained on the ground.
It was a gift from Logan to Abigail, a symbol of her acceptance as the daughter-in-law of the Farrell family.
The explosion had vaporized Abigail's body instantly.
Like a plane crashing from the sky, the rapid explosion was enough to destroy everything.
Tina and Jared were stunned; had Abigail not reacted, they would have been vaporized as well.
From a car not far away, Sophia burst into tears, watching helplessly as her beloved aunt disappeared, her
waterfall-like black hair vanished without a trace. Marie nestled into her husband's arms.
Among the sins committed by Joshua, only Abigail was truly pitiful.
A girl who was already alone in the world, vanished from the earth under the schemes of the person she loved
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmost, without even leaving a last word, vanished without a trace.
It was as if she had never existed in this world.
Tina stepped outside; the air still carried a hint of gunpowder. She picked up the unrecognizable necklace and
wiped it in her hand.
Logan got out of the car and said to Jared, "Give the child a proper burial; we owe her that."
Jared nodded, pulling Tina into his arms to comfort her gently.
Members of the X Bureau's special squad cleaned up the Farrell family's scene and went to Joshua's room to take
all his belongings. Tina, having composed herself, entered Joshua's bedroom.
A photo of Abigail and Joshua still stood on the bedside table, everything appearing so natural.
The bed was neatly made, not a speck of dust, with two sets of clean pajamas folded at the head.
Tina walked over and suddenly noticed a strand of hair wrapped around a button on Joshua's pajamas.
It must have been scraped off Abigail accidentally.
She untangled the hair and held it in her hand.
Suddenly, Tina's expression froze.
She carefully felt the strand of hair in her hand, growing more certain something was amiss.
"Tina, what's wrong?" Jared approached, surprised by the uneasy expression on Tina's face.
Tina pulled out one of her own hairs and placed both strands in Jared's hand, "Feel these, see if something's off."
Jared frowned, feeling the strands, then suddenly realized something strange.
The hair wrapped around Joshua's button was actually synthetic fiber from a wig!
Somewhere in Ashbury.
Five Poisons returned to the headquarters of the GTO, moved her neck, and started the helicopter.
Joshua had already been captured, and it seemed that staying in Ashbury was no longer an option for him.

"Tina, Jared, we shall meet another day."
If Tina and Jared were here, they would certainly recognize her as Abigail, who was supposed to be dead.
Elsewhere.
Abigail's body was missing.
Tina had intended to issue the Shadow Lotus Seal to put a bounty on the already deceased Abigail.
However, she had not yet exposed the traitor within the Mountain Veil Order.
She called Jayden and Cole to her side, "You two, search for any clues about Abigail's whereabouts in secret.
Report back toat once if you find anything unusual!" Cole was stunned, "Serena, isn't Abigail already..."
He hesitated, then seeing Tina's stern expression, he closed his mouth and accepted the task.
Tina's brows were tightly knitted.
Abigail must still be alive!
But for now, her true identity within GTO and her connection to the Five Poisons remained unknown.
Yet, she must be someone even more important than Jasmine!
Abigail, you've hidden yourself well.
Outside, Jared finally discovered the secret of Abigail's feigned death.
The person who appeared before them was indeed real, and so was the bomb. But the explosion they witnessed
was merely an illusion!
Jared found a very sophisticated projector on the door of the Farrell family home, and the shattered necklace was
the remote control for the projector.
When Abigail ran out of the Farrell family home, she had already escaped, and the explosion scene was a pre-
made live projection combined with the smoke from the explosion, creating a temporary visual blind spot for
everyone present. Abigail had taken advantage of this blind spot to escape under everyone's watch.

Jared held the projector in his hand. It wasn't the kind available commercially but a high-tech device capable of
blurring the lines between reality and illusion. This was Natalie's masterpiece.
Initially proposed by Natalie, this technology was intended to create illusions during missions and for training X
Bureau agents among other applications. But after Natalie's death, the technology was not yet developed and
was sealed away with her demise.
Like the YQ laboratory of the past, it would not have been restarted without Tina.
Indeed, not everyone had the capability.
Now, this technology, supposed to be sealed within the headquarters, was successfully developed and utilized by
GTO.
This was a massive insult to Natalie and the entire X Bureau!
A chilling coldness gathered between Jared's brows, his face as forbidding as an approaching iceberg, making
others instinctively keep their distance. Many had access to this technology, but definitely not at the Ashbury
headquarters!
That meant neither he nor Christopher Parr could have been responsible.
Who then, was this person?
As Tina stepped out of the Farrell family hand saw the projector in Jared's hands, she instantly understood
what had happened.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
No matter who this person was, she would not let them go.
At that moment, Tina's phone rang with the exclusive signal of the Mountain Veil Order.
"Chief, the Emerson family stronghold has been attacked, our brothers have suffered heavy casualties, we need
backup!"
To ensure the capture of Tiger today, Tina had gathered all reliable members of the Mountain Veil Order, leaving
few at the stronghold. Unexpectedly, they had been attacked at this very moment.
