The moment she saw the state of Nerissa Sutton’s body, Nina Jacobs made a connection.

The wounds on Nerissa Sutton’s body were identical to the wounds on Keaton Sloan, whom she had killed several months ago.

Even down to the location and size.

Dawn Donovan’s expression changed instantly. ’How does Nina Jacobs know why I’m here?’

Seeing this, Ariadne Sterling, who was standing to the side, cleared his throat and said,

"Miss Jacobs, let’s just be direct."

"The victim was found dead in front of your home, and an examination of the wounds confirmed they were caused by a Fire Element Superpower."

"Do you have any questions about that?"

"I do. I suspect she didn’t die in front of my home,"

"But was moved there after she was already dead."

Nina Jacobs paused, then asked with a hint of disappointment,

"Or have you not yet determined where the primary crime scene is?"

"The primary crime scene..."

Ariadne Sterling was momentarily stumped.

But he recovered quickly and produced another photograph.

"Our investigation shows that nearly six months ago, you killed a member of the rescue team."

"His name was Keaton Sloan. Do you have any questions about that?"

"No,"

Nina Jacobs replied.

Ariadne Sterling’s spirits lifted. "Keaton Sloan’s cause of death was a single fatal blow from a Fire Element Superpower. The wound and cause of death are identical to Nerissa Sutton’s."

"How do you explain that?"

"We’re also aware that you had a verbal altercation with the victim, Nerissa Sutton, and even came close to disfiguring her."

"Could that be your motive for murder?"

Ariadne Sterling had clearly come prepared. His confidence grew as he spoke, but the woman before him, Nina Jacobs, remained perfectly composed.

"It’s precisely because they’re identical that it makes no sense,"

Nina Jacobs answered.

"What do you mean?"

Dawn Donovan didn’t understand what Nina Jacobs meant either.

Nina Jacobs looked at her and calmly reminded her,

"Six months ago, I was a Basic Level Superpower User."

"A Basic Level... Superpower User?"

Ariadne Sterling was not a Superpower User, so he didn’t grasp the meaning behind her words.

"The strength of a Superpower User’s attack is directly related to their own level. The stronger the Superpower, the greater the damage, and the manifestation is completely different."

From the moment she first saw the body, Nina Jacobs hadn’t worried about this at all.

She continued,

"My power level six months ago could not possibly be the same as it is now."

"After all, I am now an Intermediate Superpower User."

The damage from her Fire Element attacks now couldn’t possibly be the same as it was six months ago.

She had previously requested that the base keep her status as an Intermediate Superpower User confidential for the time being.

So, it was understandable that the two people before her didn’t know.

Dawn Donovan was still reeling from the shock of Nina Jacobs’s words.

’She’s already an Intermediate Superpower User?’

’In just six months?’

"But you could have suppressed your power to kill her. Can’t Superpower Users control the strength of their Superpowers?"

Ariadne Sterling asked, refusing to give up.

At this, Nina Jacobs let out a small laugh.

She glanced at the camera and said,

"Are you suggesting that I could have vaporized her, but instead, I deliberately suppressed my power to create a wound identical to the one from six months ago, and then placed her body at my doorstep?"

Nina Jacobs’s words made Ariadne Sterling’s jaw drop.

’Vaporized... her?’

He almost wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing.

’How could someone talk about destroying a body and erasing all evidence so casually?’

Behind her, Wayne Warner was yawning repeatedly.

Remembering that Wayne Warner had accompanied her and hadn’t eaten yet, Nina Jacobs asked, "May I leave now?"

Dawn Donovan glanced at her watch and exchanged a look with Ariadne Sterling.

"Sorry, Miss Jacobs. Please wait here a little longer."

’A little longer?’

Nina Jacobs watched as the two of them left the room, not forgetting to lock the door behind them.

In other words, she was now locked in.

"Looks like we’re not leaving for a while."

Nina Jacobs frowned.

It should have been dark outside by now. ’Logically, Sherry Renner wouldn’t let me be locked up in here.’

’This interrogation is getting stranger and stranger.’

Nina Jacobs checked the time. Two hours had passed since she arrived.

She activated "Five Senses Enhancement," trying to pick up more clues.

Just as she was debating whether to break down the door and leave, it opened.

When Adrian Shaw saw Nina Jacobs sitting there unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Adrian Shaw were Holden Shaw, Chase Gallagher, and others,

including Pascal Paige and Jessica Vance.

"They didn’t do anything to you, did they?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Pascal Paige rushed over and asked.

Nina Jacobs shook her head, then looked at Adrian Shaw.

"You were right. They’ve finally made their move."

Adrian Shaw was quite impressed with Nina Jacobs. ’This day really has come.’

"How are things on Uncle Hale’s end?" Nina asked.

"Don’t worry, my people have been watching."

"It’s not over yet,"

Adrian Shaw replied.

Leo Hale watched the two of them exchange words. "What’s going on? What are you two talking about?"

"It’s nothing. Let’s go. We can go watch the show."

Nina Jacobs stood up.

’This is the day I’ve been waiting for,’ she thought. ’I just wonder how big of a fish we’ll catch this time.’

「At the reception.」

Daniel Hale was already completely drunk.

But he seemed to still be aware that it was getting late and it was time to go home.

Seeing him stumble, Heath Chandler caringly moved to support him, but someone else beat him to it.

"Let’s go, Hale. I’ll take you home,"

the person said.

Heath Chandler wasn’t very familiar with the people at the base to begin with. Plus, someone else came over to offer him a drink just then, so he didn’t think much of it as he watched Daniel Hale leave.

A moment later, Daniel Hale was helped into a black van.

The van weaved through the streets, eventually heading toward the base’s dormitory buildings.

Inside the van, a woman asked worriedly,

"Is this really going to work? I’ve got a bad feeling about this."

"Relax. Just do what you’re supposed to do."

"You’ll get your reward after it’s done."

The driver was a man with blond hair, and he gave the woman a small packet.

The woman nodded, relieved. "And he’s supposed to be a Spiritual Element Superpower User? We haven’t even drugged him yet, and a little alcohol is all it takes to knock him out?"

"Don’t get careless. I’ll go up with you in a bit."

"The boss went to a lot of trouble to get someone to drink him under the table. This is the moment we’ve been waiting for."

Blondie instructed. He would administer the drug himself later.

They had already tested the drug’s effects on someone.

There wouldn’t be any problems.

The car stopped in front of one of the dormitory buildings.

The woman and Blondie got out of the car, supporting Daniel Hale as they walked toward a room on the first floor.

People were coming and going in the hallway, and many turned to look.

Blondie seemed to be deliberately drawing attention, saying loudly,

"You two haven’t seen each other in a while. Take good care of my man Hale tonight."

The woman replied with a bashful look.

But when the two of them looked up and saw a line of people standing ahead, they froze on the spot.

"Let him go,"

Adrian Shaw said sharply.

The woman flinched and collapsed to the ground in fear.

Blondie also let go of the dead-drunk Daniel Hale, only to find Daniel Hale looking at them with a perfectly sober expression.

His eyes widened. ’Daniel Hale was faking it!’

"Who are you calling your ’man’? Do I even know you?"

Daniel Hale stared at the completely unfamiliar man and woman before him.

If it weren’t for Adrian Shaw’s warning and that sobering medicine, he definitely would have fallen for their trap today.

The thought of the potential consequences of this incident made his whole body radiate with fury.

He didn’t know these two at all. ’Someone is trying to frame me!’
