Chapter 10
What?
“The experiment succeeded?”
“A problem even the experts at Eminence Nexus couldn’t solve was actually cracked by a teenage girl?” the manager exclaimed, eyes `wide in disbelief.
He never
ver expected Zoe would truly solve the problem. From the looks of it, she was bound to shake the chemistry world in the near future,
Once Joyer poured the chemical compound into the test tube and declared the experiment a success, the emergency medic immediately stepped forward with concern. “Ms. Yoder, how are you feeling!
I’m worried you stayed in there too long and inhaled 100 much toxic gas. You need to come with us to the hospital for treatment right away!”
Joyce waved her hand and looked around the area, searching for Zoe. “Where’s that girl from earlier!”
In the blink of an eye. Zoe had vanished.
Joyce still had one unresolved question–something that had puzzled her for ten years–and she’d hoped to consult Zoe about it. Bur now, she couldn’t find her.
The manager stepped forward respectfully and said, “Ms. Yoder, that girl already left.”
“What? She left?” I
“Joyce cried out. Then what are you all standing around for? Go after her
That girl just solved a world–class chemistry problem,” she added. “She’s a true chemistry prodigy. If I had met her earlier, my research could have advanced twenty years.”
The firefighters and the manager were all dumbfounded. They rushed out like madmen to chase after her, but no matter how hard they looked, Zoe was nowhere to be found—as if she had never been there at all.
In the end, unable to locate Zor, Joyce was taken to the hospital under the emergency medic’s care.
Even while sitting in the ambulance, Joyce couldn’t help pulling out her phone, excitedly dialing a number.
“Hello, Robert I need you to find someone for me,” she said. “A girl, probably in her teens, wearing sportswear.

Chapter 10
Despite Zack’s achievements and his status as a near–member of Eminence Nexus, in this group chat, he was at the bottom of the hierarchy. Everyone in this group was a high–ranking figure in Eminence Nexus–far beyond Zack’s level
Zack cautiously scrolled through the conversation, deeply curious about who this mysterious genius girl was. He wished she was one of
his students.
To his surprise, just then, his phone rang.
“Zack, you’re really something, aren’t you?” came a slightly exasperated voice–it was Robert Johnson, a renowned scholar. “Don’t you know how desperately we need talent at the institute?”
“How could you hide such a genius in chemistry at your school without introducing her to me? That really hurts, man,” Robert said.
Zack was completely baffled. “Mr. Johnson, what are you talking about?”
On the other end of the line, Robert chuckled with a mix of irritation and disbelief. “Zack, don’t play dumb. I heard that the genius girl is a student from Highcrest University.”
“What?” Zack nearly dropped his phone.
He had no idea that the prodigy who was rocking all of Jelonsburg was a student from Highcrest.
Now, Zack couldn’t help but wonder who the girl was.
Zoe had no idea that the casual act she’d done during the day had already caused a sensation across all of Clusia Jelonsburg. She didn’t return home until well past midnight.
The next morning, before the rest of the Evans family had even woken up, Zoe was already out the door in her workout clothes, jogging a full lap around the outskirts of Jelonsburg as part of her morning training.
Physical training had been a habit ingrained in her by over a decade of mercenary life.
Only after she finished her morning routine did Zoe head to school–just in time for her first shooting class.
Shooting class was held in the school’s shooting range, which was located a fair distance from the main academic building.
As such, students typically arrived at the range in advance to wait
for the instructor.
By the time Zoe arrived, the other students were already there–even Eunice, Herbert, and Jacob, who’d left later than her, had made it.
As soon as Zoe stepped into the shooting range, she overheard the gossiping voices of the girls in her class.
Hey, did you hear about that genius girl from yesterday? She shocked all the big names in Jelonsburg. Nothing like that’s ever happened before”
“Theard, but I’m not interested. It’s not like someone that gifted would ever be at Highcrest University. Anyway, I’m way more excited about our w
ew instructor.
Brilliam and dashing Mr. Ludwig-
The girls had just started gushing when their voices suddenly cut off.
The reason for their abrupt silence wasn’t Zoe’s entrance—it was Shawn’s
Following their gazes. Zor looked up and saw Shawn entering the shooting range–tall, striking, and effortlessly handsome.
