Reborn: Dangerous Alice

Alice's POV

Ten years later, ten top international assassins under BOC GeneTech, following Dr. Alfonso Carr's orders, found me.

They wanted to kill me!

Too bad they were no match for me at all. Instead, I killed them one by one!

Only the last assassin remained. While coughing up blood, he said viciously, "Dr. Carr won't let you go. Sooner or later, you'll die at the hands of BOC GeneTech!"

I looked at him coldly and sneered, "All I know is that you'll die before me!"

With that, I slit his throat with a dagger. Red blood spilled everywhere.

My name is Alice Baker, code name "V," from Novaria, BOC GeneTech's most successful bio-engineered human!

From birth, I was BOC GeneTech's most powerful killing machine.

Anyone I wanted to kill never survived!

I didn't want to live under BOC GeneTech's control my whole life, so I escaped, hid my identity, and lived ten years of ordinary, peaceful life.

I never expected them to find me!

Looks like peaceful days are over.

I burned the bodies of the ten assassins, destroying all evidence, then went home.

Ten years ago, I was adopted by a couple.

In their eyes, I was just an excellent student about to apply for college.

"Alice, I've made dinner. Come eat!" After returning home, my adoptive mother took my hand with great concern.

I held her hand back and smiled gently, "Mom, shall we go for a walk? I'm not hungry yet."

My adoptive mother suddenly avoided my gaze. "The food's ready, we should eat it while it's hot!"

She pulled me inside, then walked behind me, and said in surprise, "Alice, is that blood on your neck?"

I was startled. How could there be blood? I had clearly cleaned everything.

Just as I was confused, my adoptive mother suddenly jabbed a lethal poison into my carotid artery from behind!

I was shocked and turned around, looking at her with complete confusion.

I never expected my adoptive mother would attack me!

I had dodged the assassins' bullets, but I couldn't dodge this "bullet" from family.

If I wanted to, I could snap her neck in one second!

But I wouldn't, because after all, this woman had raised me.

"Why?" I asked, trembling.

"Alice, please don't blame Mom. BOC GeneTech forced me. They said you were born from illegal genetic modification, and if you escaped their control, you should be destroyed..."

"I didn't want to! I didn't want to do this!"

"But if I didn't agree, they would kill the two-month-old baby in my belly. Alice, your father and I raised you for ten years. Can you just consider it repaying us? Don't blame us..." my adoptive mother tried to explain.

I could feel the toxin rapidly destroying my nervous system. My vision was the first to be attacked.

In the countdown to complete darkness, I calmly turned and hugged my adoptive mother, who was trembling with fear from killing someone for the first time. I held her one last time and whispered in her ear, "You were deceived."

"BOOM—"

The bomb buried under the house was detonated. In an instant, the cabin on this small island was blown to pieces.

My adoptive mother and I were both blown to bits by BOC GeneTech's bomb...

...

"Damn! Alice, you fat pig, you're so heavy I can't even move you!"

I suddenly opened my eyes. Cold air rushed into my lungs, bringing a slight sting. Ugly cursing filled my ears.

I looked at everything before me, somewhat confused, while many memories flooded into my mind.

I had been reborn!
