However, at this moment, the short figure seemed to realize this and quickly turned around."How was it this time?" His voice was sharp and piercing. His sudden turn made the shadow stop, and their hand hung mid-air. After a pause, the shadow replied, "It has improved from the last time." "Hmph!" After snorting twice, the short man laughed. "You say that every time, but I haven't seen an improvement until today. Sometimes, I wonder if my illness is too hard to cure or if you’re just too stupid!"The dark shadow did not try to defend themselves when laughed at so rudely. Instead, they just lowered their head.Glancing at the shadow coldly, the man turned around and shrugged off his cloth, exposing one arm. "There!" The man snorted as the black shadow stepped forward to disinfect his arm before sticking the needle in.As the liquid was injected into the man's body, he kept a calm, slightly frowning face. A second later, the syringe was pulled out. "Huff…" He sighed with relie
Hearing the words "fake your death" hit a sore spot. A stern look flashed across her face but quickly disappeared. "Isn't this matter under your control?" She raised her eyelids and looked at the person before her. Bits and pieces of memories flashed through her mind uncontrollably.In the years when she was studying abroad, things were not easy. The discrimination she faced ran deep. She wanted to make a name for herself but was never given a chance.Her tutors also excluded her, denying her the opportunity to network with higher-ups. The laboratories abroad would always ostracize her. At that moment, this man appeared. She used to think it was all just a dream. Initially, he gave her the idea to carry out a social experiment, which was to sabotage Anastasia and make her fat and weak without her knowledge.These were all ideas given to Rhea by the man before her. Then he disappeared into thin air as quickly and suddenly as he had appeared.Sometimes, Rhea even doubted if it
The lights outside the window were brightly lit, with half the lights in the entire building on. There were many people working overtime, desperately chasing the bag. Most of them had no idea that the vaccine they were developing was not a vaccine against the virus but a psychotropic drug for mind control.As soon as the so-called vaccine was done, everyone would be injected with it. By then, they would all be this man's puppets. "Boss, you don't have to pretend. There's no one around. How would my name be exposed if you didn't allow Mike to let Austin escape? This was all part of your plan. I’m nothing more than a pawn in your chess game."She lowered her gaze to hide her emotions. Her voice was exceptionally calm.She was aware that she was merely a piece of their larger strategy from the start. That was right. Their plan!The organization was more than just her and the boss. Being the boss did not mean that he was on top. She had been in the organization for so many years th
At eight o'clock in the morning, a black car appeared at the gate of the Russells household. At the same time, Lily's phone rang.She glanced at the flashing caller ID, lowered her head, and hung up. Then she picked up the things she had packed earlier, drank the remaining milk in her cup, and said to Alexander, "I'm leaving.""If you feel like something's wrong, stop doing it and call me immediately." Alexander did not have much to say besides this reminder.She nodded and walked toward the door."Lily," he called out. Lily stopped, and Alexander quickly pulled her into his embrace. He hugged her quietly without saying a word.His embrace was warm and comforting. Lily was startled for a moment before quickly returning to her senses. Then she leaned into his chest and enjoyed the warmth and tranquility of this moment.They both knew what they were about to face was cruel and dangerous. However, they could not just back down when push came to shove."It's almost time," Lily said
"Okay!" The voice in the earphones went silent after that.It was indeed unnecessary for Alexander to follow Lily.Seeing how the organization dared to pick Lily up so openly meant they had fully prepared themselves for anything. Moreover, with their cunning nature, even hidden cameras could barely capture any movements from them, and the Russells’ networks could not find anything.It was no longer a question of whether or not Alexander should follow them. They were doing everything openly, with the vaccine development base being their most significant den.Alexander straightened his body and narrowed his eyes slightly.‘His wife has already entered deep into the tiger's den. I can’t just sit idly by since I have many things to do.’With that thought in mind, he turned around and went in. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw his son sitting on the carpet, concentrating on building something with his Legos. Alexander raised his eyebrows and walked over to squat beside his
The little guy squinted, and his expression was surprisingly similar to his father's. "Daddy, are you leaving me too?""Ahem!" Alexander cleared his throat, a little embarrassed that his son called him out like that. He clenched his fist and coughed several times to cover up his embarrassment. "I'm not leaving you. I just…""Go!" The little boy waved and lowered his head to continue building his Lego. "I’ll be good!"Just a few simple words were enough for Alexander to swallow back his words. He looked at his son and felt a rush of emotions. He even felt a little guilty.Recently, he had been around Galen less than he wanted to. On top of that, the fact that Lily had to inform him about Daisy meant that he had exposed his son to potential dangers. He felt indebted to Galen.However, he had no choice. It was best if Galen stayed with Dominic instead of his grandmother. Galen was also a lot closer to him, too."Galen, Mommy and Daddy will play with you the whole day when we finish
"Are you done yet? When you were drugged up, weren't the seizures more painful than this? I didn't even hear you shouting like that! Are you doing this on purpose?!""No, Uncle Dom. Go ahead. I won't scream anymore!" Austin lowered his head and bit the towel, trying not to make a sound. This pain was completely different from the pain from the previous virus attack. It was explosive, and it felt like the cells in her body were splitting apart and exploding simultaneously. Although the pain was silent, his body felt as though it were being torn apart. All his strength was used in the splitting of his cells, so he didn't have any energy left to scream.However, the pain from the old man's acupuncture was continuous and slow. The pain seeped into his bones slowly, making him break out in a cold sweat.Seeing his appearance, Dominic sighed and shook his head. He held the needle in his hand and gently pressed the edge of the acupuncture point with his other hand a few times. To be ho
Dominic glanced at Alexander as if this were a greeting. When Dominic saw the little guy in the pile of toys, the look on his face immediately changed. He ran over, calling out to Galen, "My boy, what are you doing here?" Alexander watched helplessly as the graying old man ran over briskly and picked up his not-so-young son. The two of them seemed very close.Alexander was at a loss for words."Aren't you supposed to be home? What are you doing here? Did you miss Grandpa? You did, didn't you?!" As Dominic spoke, he rubbed his face against Galen.Galen giggled as Dominic's beard tickled his face. He dodged Dominic and stretched out his hand to pull Dominic's beard."Hey, hey, hey! You little devil! You can't pull my beard…" Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something. Dominic stopped abruptly and turned his head to look in Alexander's direction. No matter how he played with Galen, Dominic had always been unscrupulous in front of Lily. However, he hadn
