She was calm as a stillke, but more dangerous than stagnant water. As if at any moment, this seemingly tranquil pool could erupt into a violent storm.
Miranda remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
Beck yed along, "Initially, we were just investigating a ck market seller known as the chemist. We discovered that this person''s pharmaceutical skills surpassed any pharmaceuticalpany in the world. The effectiveness of these drugs was unparalleled, and the ingredients clearly had roots in herbal medicine. This indicated that the person must be from Ardenza."
He kept on steadily as he gazed at Miranda. "Someone who can create such medication surely possesses medical knowledge. So we focused on recent medical prodigies and experts in medicine within the country. Unfortunately, we ruled out everyone; none matched the chemist. Ultimately, our tech team pinpointed the location to Zephra."
He paused, exining, "Even though the ck market usesyers of IP address encryption to deter 99% of hackers worldwide, we have our methods."
He didn''t disclose what those methods were.
Miranda didn''t need to ask further; she knew that certain people had their own unique ways and means to obtain information and leads.
These methods were often secretive, potentially dubious. But having such methods demonstrated a formidable and powerful background.
Even though this world was slightly behind her previous one in general, individually, some people were ahead of their time.
So she wasn''t surprised if a hacker emerged strong enough to crack the hidden IPs of the ck market and her fake ones.
"We could only narrow down your location to the Zephra area, not to you personally. But then, I got a tip from a colleague in another department."
He fixed his gaze on Miranda. "Two years ago, an eighteen-year-old girl was imprisoned for intentional
assault. She was sent to Ardenza''s most peculiar prison, which houses a prison within a prison, reserved for the most valuable, unique offenders," Beck smirked slightly. "There are young economi crime
prodigies, rising stars in academia, renownedwyers who y both sides, and dangerous yet brilliant violent offenders.

These people aren''t sentenced to death, their terms aren''t long, but they''re under the world''s scrutiny, with many eager to recruit them upon release," Beck''s eyes remained on Miranda. "And you, you managed to win over this group while incarcerated.
You became the prison''s medic, the only inmate allowed to move freely. You received top-tier special treatment, erasing your criminal record from your history."
In this scenario, Miranda was a special case, handling special matters, thus such
a exclusive treatment, which indicated that the higher-ups valued her greatly, offering her unique protection.
Since Beck''s higher-ups were from a different system, he couldn''t essplete information.
"Later, I learned about your involvement in treating Mrs. Anna Lancaster and the facts surrounding your care for Mr. Ashcroft," Beck chuckled. "Tell me, when every coincidence aligns perfectly, doesn''t it be inevitable?"
The link between the chemist and Miranda was the word "medicine".
One created drugs that surpassed contemporary medical standards, with precise clinical feedback. The. other possessed unparalleled medical skills, able to cure rare modern medicine. Even if they weren''t the same person, it was impossible not to connect them.

"But you gave us another surpriseter," Beck smiled at Miranda, growing increasingly impressed by her.
Miranda raised an eyebrow.
"A colleague of mine wanted me to ask you, Ms. Lancaster, if you had any interest
in bing an ace sniper," he said with a hint of joy.
