Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 209

She was calm as a still lake, 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 played along, "Initially, we were just investigating a black market seller known as the chemist. We discovered that this person's pharmaceutical skills surpassed any pharmaceutical company 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, explaining, "Even though the black market uses layers 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 black 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."

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 diseases unsolvable by modern medicine. Even if they weren't the same person, it was impossible not to connect them.

"But you gave us another surprise later," 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 becoming an ace sniper," he said with a hint of joy.
