Strix was stunned. After a long while, he lowered his head and said, “Yeah, you’re right. She's using your birth to tell me that I've succeeded.”The car was stopped outside of a research building.A man and a woman were standing at the entrance. Both of them were the people of Morwich, and they seemed to be in their 30s. They were wearing white coats that would only be worn when they were on duty, with ID cards pinned on the pockets in front of their chests. When the man with a buzz cut saw Strix, he smiled at him excitedly and asked, "You've finally returned!" “Yeah, but don’t tell anyone else that I’ve returned, including the director,” Strix said.He nodded and replied, “Understood. And this is…”Maisie had never shown herself in front of the media when she was in Morwich, so they did not know who she was.Strix looked at Maisie and introduced her. “She’s Marina’s daughter. Her name is Alice.”The man and the woman were stunned.Inside the office…Maisie took over the c
Marlo looked at him and said, “If you're going to use her blood to develop new antibodies, the survival rate of the antibodies in non-living blood is quite low after the blood is drawn and broken down.”In other words, they only had a few seconds to carry out the extraction process after drawing her blood, and once they failed, they had to start all over.Thus, how many times were they going to draw her blood? Were they going to draw all of her blood? What if they couldn’t make it no matter how many times they tried?Strix understood everything he said. Initially, he did not want to use this method either.However, when he thought of Maisie saying that she believed in him, he felt he couldn't let her down. Strix did not want to let her down, but he was worried that he couldn't make it. He couldn’t develop the antibodies to save Marina back then, so could he do it now?He did not know.He has been living with guilt all these years. He indulged himself in all sorts of things,
After a short while, Nolan closed the book and said, “Let’s go and meet them.”The Regent Restaurant was situated in the eastern region of Ambergate Street. It was the largest restaurant in Ambergate Street, known as “The Pearl of Ambergate”.The vintage buildings here added a touch of antiquity to the street. The street was filled with different stores, such as pawn stores, themed restaurants, jewelry stores, hotels, banks, cafes, and many more. Most of the people were locals, but there were some foreigners as well.Two groups of people stood inside Sky One, the largest private room in the Regent Restaurant.A waiter was standing by the table while serving tea.Titus picked up a cup of tea and asked, “So you’re Ms. Reynolds? Can you tell me more about you?”The woman sitting across the table was wearing a white blazer lined with a black shirt. She looked smart and professional.She had put on makeup and sported shoulder-length hair that she collected neatly at the back of her e
While they were on their way back, Nolan had been looking outside through the window, his gaze deep.Quincy glanced at him through the rear mirror and asked, “Mr. Goldmann, is that Sue really Strix’s apprentice? Don’t you think she’s a little bit too young?”Nolan withdrew his gaze and said, “Well, we’ll know about it after we find Hernandez.”“Hernandez?” Quincy was stunned. “Are you saying that Hernandez knows Strix? During the outbreak 30 years ago, Strix made a name for himself after he showed up in Stoslo. However, other than knowing his name, it's said that only a few people have seen him. No one else has seen him after he left the medical world. How does Hernandez know Strix?”Nolan lifted his head and replied, “It’s because of Marina.”“Ms. Vanderbilt’s mother?” Quincy was taken aback. “Wasn’t Ms. Vanderbilt’s mother related to the Metropolis? She knew Strix too? Could it be that Strix…”“The only thing we know about Strix is that he’s from Morwich. As for whether or not
After the physical examination, Maisie came to the operating room in a hospital gown. She lay down, looked at the operating lights, and thought about how she had made it through when giving birth to her children. Strix approached her and hung the blood bag beside her.They had applied anesthetic to the surface when they started drawing Maisie's blood, so she did not feel much pain. However, as blood began to flow out of her veins, she slowly felt some pain.The pain came to her slowly, but it was throbbing when they squeezed the blood. It felt as if someone was constantly cutting at the same wound with a knife.Maisie frowned, but she bit her lips and endured the pain. She started to feel dizzy, chest tightness, and difficulty in breathing when it reached a certain point.“Start the blood infusion,” Strix commanded calmly.Maisie was losing her blood, so they needed to start the blood transfusion as soon as possible. Sasha used the blood bag they had prepared in advance. They al
Erwin stopped beside her. “Are you feeling better?”Maisie nodded with a smile. “I’m almost fully recovered. By the way, Uncle Erwin, have your men found any information about my grandfather in Stoslo?”Erwin was slightly astonished, then shook his head. “Not yet.”Maisie lowered her eyes upon hearing this.‘I haven’t heard any news about my grandfather so far, and I’m afraid things are getting more ominous than propitious.’Maisie stood up slowly. “I want to go back to Stoslo.”“You can’t go back now.”“Why?” Maisie was stunned for a moment. She then asked when she saw Erwin’s slightly gloomy face, “Did something happen?”Erwin did not hide anything from her. “Someone developed a new vaccine in Stoslo using Strix’s identity, and this has caused a huge commotion in the country. The fall of the Kents had just taken place after the disappearance of Hernandez, but someone actually impersonated Strix to develop a new vaccine at this exact time. This is strange, and I’m afraid the s
Titus relaxed and smiled upon hearing this answer. “Okay, that’s great.”Quincy’s expression looked obviously surprised.‘The virus is actually under control? But if this person isn’t Strix, who else would have such an ability? Could it be that both my guess and that of Mr. Goldmann are wrong?’The corner of Sue’s lips raised, and she gave off a smile. “Mr. Goldmann, do you trust my teacher now?”Titus had obtained that good result he wanted, so it was only natural for him to be more willing to believe in her. “It’s really thanks to Mr. Salazar. I’ll remember the kindness that you’ve shown the Goldmanns for the rest of my life, so feel free to bring anything up to me if you need it in the future.”“There’s no need for such a strong promise, Mr. Goldmann. My teacher has spent his life doing this research, and there’s nothing he needs. He’s satisfied as long as he can help more people.”Titus deeply appreciated Sue’s modest and reserved answer. “If you have any needs in the future,
Maisie did not speak.Nolan felt a little helpless. “My grandfather was the one who asked her to stay back to take care of me.”‘Although I didn’t need it.’Maisie smiled. “Your grandfather really cares a lot about you. Strix from Stoslo has managed to control the virus in your body, and she’s Strix’s apprentice. Ergo, this makes her a great benefactor. Your grandfather should be breathing on your neck at this very moment, asking you to divorce me sooner and then marry her, shouldn’t he?”Nolan slightly frowned as he pinched her nose. “Aren’t you afraid of getting a bad tooth when you can’t stop being so sour about things?”“Don’t you touch me with the hand that you just used to grab her just minutes ago!” Maisie smacked his hand off her arm. She took offense to what had happened as if her belongings had been touched by someone else. She felt extremely disgusted!Nolan took her into his arms, and his voice sounded hoarse. “There’s no more room in my heart for another woman—you ha
