With that thought, Harriet regained her confidence and nodded, “Alright, I’ll help. Could you please let my parents go first?” 

Warren looked a bit uneasy and glanced at Curtis. Curtis shrugged it off, waving his hand dismissively. “Just keep it down,” he muttered as he focused on Quinlyn’s data analysis. 

Finally freed, Maurice and Tina hurriedly scrambled to their feet, ignoring the dust and dirt covering them as they rushed over to Warren, whispering in shock, “What kind of spell has Quinlyn cast on Curtis? Why is everyone listening to her? 

“She must be a monster! I thought she’d left the Anderson residence and head for the border for good, but now she’s tangled. up with Curtis. Mr. Sullivan, we need to figure out a way to expose her true colors fast!” 

In their eyes, everything Quinlyn had achieved was thanks to the Anderson family’s resources. Watching her benefit from it all felt worse than a knife to their hearts. 

Warren had always thought they behaved quite petty, and he’d only been polite because of Harriet. Now that he saw their true nature, he couldn’t help but feel they were out of their minds. 

It was absurd to think a general and his high–ranking officers could be fooled by a kid. Besides, the current situation was clearly beyond a businessman’s reach. Maurice and Tina’s request to stir up trouble only struck him as foolish or malicious. 

“Let’s put that aside for now. My company’s survival hinges on Harriet. He cleverly shifted the topic, leading Harriet over to another computer. “Quinlyn’s too busy to help, and fixing the feed from the monitors is a straightforward task. I’m sure you can handle it, right?” 

Fixing the feed? Harriet stared blankly at the screen, feeling a bit lost. After all, she was still in the early stages of learning at the tutoring center, she only knew how to create simple web pages. 

But since Warren said Quinlyn could do it, she didn’t want to back down. Without thinking much, she nodded and said, “Okay.” 

At that moment, the professors who had searched in the mountainous were urgently called back. They had just taken off their anti–magnetic suits, drenched in sweat and hoarse from shouting. As they approached, they stopped in their tracks, wide–eyed at the sight of Harriet. 

“Professor!” Harriet was thrilled to see her math tutor, standing up to wave a greeting. Unable to hold back, she boasted, “Mr. Sullivan called me in to help! Ill assist you all and make sure not to let you down.” 

With a quick glance at Quinlyn, it was clear she was ready to compete. 

The professors paused, their expressions a mix of surprise and skepticism. Harriet had only gotten into the program through connections; her talent was average at best. Now, she wanted to compare herself to Quinlyn? They thought to themselves. ‘Give it up. You don’t stand a chance! 

But there was no time for bickering. They quickly nodded and scurried over to Quinlyn. “Aren’t we going back to look for more people? We heard many are still lost in there.” 

“You can’t go deeper. The anti–magnetic suits can’t take it anymore.” Quinlyn replied, pointing at the suits they had just removed, which were already covered in rust from being exposed to magnetic storms. 

“I need to create a new kind of demagnetizing device and will need some specific stones known to trigger magnetic storms. They have a unique color and texture. Did you notice anything like that?” she asked. 

Magnetic storms weren’t just caused by tectonic plate moving; they stemmed from special rock layers that disrupted the magnetic field. The field here was extraordinarily strong, affecting the surrounding mountains, indicing that the geology was quite unique 

Quinlyn originally planned to ask around, but if no one had any leads, she’d venture into the mountains herself. To her

After everything that had happened, he was done with any bragging Especially after seeing how calm and capabile Quinlyn was, despite her age, he felt even more guilty for his previous behavior 

“If you need more, we can head back into the mountains right now, one of the professors merited. 

“Yeah, the more you find, the better, Quinlyn nodded, unaware that she had changed a professor’s perpective 

As the search and rescue teams had already spent two hours in the field, thanks to the efforts of the detectives andl the 901 Military Base personnel, they managed to rescue over two hundred students. However, as they went deeper, even de strongest teams from 901 were starting to struggle 

Ivan. Bennett, and the others were utterly exhausted after the effort. The moment they took off their anti–magnetie its they felt sick and slumped against a tree, “Give us half an hour to rest, then we’ll head back in,” Ivan suggested 

“No way. Your bodies can’t handle it. You go in again, and you might collapse, the doctor said with a firm shake of his heart. Bennett was frustrated, taking deep breaths of oxygen. “But there are still so many students in there…” 

Currently, police dogs, drones, and helicopters couldn’t penetrate the mountains. If they didn’t go back in, what would happen to the students? 

Quinlyn glanced at him, stood up, and crouched next to him. Her small figure seemed even smaller. “The magnetic storm is getting worse. Going in now would be suicide,” she said softly. 

Bennett opened his mouth, but his words got stuck in his throat. 

“I know what you’re thinking, but this isn’t the time for you to die.” Quinlyn recognized that familiar look in his eyes. She gently placed her hand on his shoulder. I’m making an anti–magnetic device right now. Just wait for me. 

Her bright voice, so earnest in this life–or–death scenario, sounded almost like a fairy tale, but Bennett felt a rush of emotion, his eyes moistening unexpectedly. 

“Alright, I’ll trust you…” He sighed deeply but managed a small smile as he placed a reassuring hand on Quinlyn’s arm 

Meanwhile, Harriet was watching Quinlyn attract yet another spotlight and couldn’t help but roll her eyes. When she turned back to her computer screen, everything looked like a mess. She tried to shift her body when she felt a large hand on her shoulder. 

“What’s wrong? Can’t solve it? This should be easier than the bugs you fixed last time. Warren said, standing directly behind her, his tone gentle yet commanding 

Tina, who was nearby, wiped her cold sweat, realizing something was off. She quickly interjected, “Well, Quinlyn hasn’t produced anything useful either. It’s perfectly normal“ 

“Quinlyn hacked into my headquarters‘ surveillance during a video call with my secretary. What are you even comparing!” Warren chuckled coldly, no longer willing to spare them any dignity. 

Maurice, Tina, and Harriet were stunned at first, but disbelief quickly took over. “No way! She’s just a child with no parents, completely unrefined
