## Plot

Stephanie got reported of 30 doctors and medical staffs has died of Veronavirus after having infected and the tradings stocks began to rapidly diminish. After Agent Viola Roberts informed the team that she heard the woman's loudest scream, Chief Fowler sent Kevin and the player to the Huang family mansion, where they collected the body of Huang family heiress and stocks trader Franca Huang after a shoot in her heart.

The five people were labelled as suspects: Sophia Huang (victim's mother), Celvin Huang (victim's father), Nishant Rajan (trader), Lilly Leigh-Huang (victim's grandma), and Sanjay Mhasalkar (mansion's keeper).

While searching for investigations, Kevin and the player were headed to the victim's bedroom and found the newspaper about the many people died of Veronavirus and doctors were on the verge to death. But the killer attacks them and the player use the alarm to make the guards come, but the killer has escaped.

Mid-investigation, they followed the screams of Sophia Huang taking her mother-in-law Lilly Leigh-Huang through the bay gardens so they could flee from the deadly virus that was almost infecting the family. Later, Anabel and the team were had to stop Celvin Huang and his hound from attacking Carl Thompson, who had decided to explore the castle. The team then found enough evidence to arrest Lilly for the murder.

Upon admitting to the murder, Lilly said she found out that her ex-boyfriend, Drew Baldwin, was dating her granddaughter Franca, and infected him without knowing it was Veronavirus, eventually died in next day. As she learned that Franca was infected with this dangerous virus would destroy the entire Huang family, she shoots Franca in her heart in revenge for her beloved Drew, hoping that honor killing will bring the family peacefully without her. Judge Palamo sentenced Lilly to 15 years in prison.

During Hell Or High Water (3/6), President Orlando Smee told Kevin and the player that there were plenty of scientists entering and leaving the fortress in Nigeria, and that he also got his employees to reveal the flight number of one of them. They found the flight number in the bay gardens, which (per Henri) belonged to geologist Ernest Newhouse, Glenda's husband, who attended Springville College at the same time as Glenda. Upon learning of Ernest's intentions, Glenda volunteered to impersonate herself as Ernest's friend and infiltrate the Africa to gain information on SoftCircle, previously learning about geology from Abel. Chief Fowler authorized the plan while the team would look out for Ernest.

Meanwhile, the player helped Sophia track down Nishant (whom Celvin had suddenly kicked out with no pay) and gave him Franca's friendship bracelet. After all the events, Hao volunteered to help Barry to make the vaccine for the Veronavirus in Glenda's absence. Shortly after, Barry suggested the team to go the forest at Auckland, New Zealand, for further investigating the virus.
