Chapter 260: Chapter 252: She’s Out Running

The woman’s voice was a strained, guttural sound.

Several syringes shot out from the partitioned room. Aurora Sinclair tried to dodge, but a figure grabbed her and held her tight.

A needle struck her shoulder.

“Aurora—” Alvin Morgan yanked hard on the handcuffs, the desperation in his voice startling Eugene Morgan.

One of his hands was already bleeding from the chafing handcuffs, but he continued to struggle madly against his restraints.

He had never seen Alvin Morgan like this. Growing up, Alvin had always been calm, rational, and composed.

Exceptionally brilliant, but lacking a human touch.

“Aurora—Aurora—”

Aurora Sinclair swayed twice before collapsing in front of him.

“Aurora—”

Alvin Morgan finally broke free of the handcuffs. He swept her into his arms, holding her tightly, and glared viciously at the people in the room. “You all deserve to die—”

A red light glowed on his wrist. Eugene Morgan pulled out a detonator. “Stop! Do you hear me? I said stop! She’s not dead—”

Alvin Morgan froze. He looked at the detonator in Eugene Morgan’s hand and finally hit the pause button.

「Meanwhile.」

Personnel at the Morgan Family’s research institute stared in panic at the suddenly activated Master Brain program and immediately reported it to their superiors.

All of the Morgan Family’s elite units were dispatched to find Alvin Morgan’s location. They also tried to contact Beta Morgan, who was with Alvin, but couldn’t get through.

At that moment, Beta Morgan and the Black Wolves had already breached the underground laboratory and were engaged in a firefight with the lab’s security personnel.

The Black Wolves were well-prepared this time. The security personnel were outmatched and retreated deeper into the facility.

Soon, the Black Wolves had control of most of the underground lab. They even found the surveillance center, but the area where the woman was located had no cameras.

On the floor, Aurora Sinclair’s body began to heat up like a furnace, her face flushed crimson.

“Aurora… Wake up…” Alvin Morgan anxiously patted her face, but her temperature just kept rising.

Just then, the woman suddenly said, “She needs to be put in the Nutrition Repair Chamber right now…”

Alvin Morgan looked at her warily, his arms tightening around Aurora.

The woman’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she said urgently, “If you don’t put her in, she’s going to die.”

Alvin Morgan looked down at Aurora Sinclair’s increasingly flushed face and gritted his teeth. “You’d better make sure she wakes up. Otherwise, every single one of you will die—”

He placed Aurora Sinclair into the Nutrition Repair Chamber, and the woman began to operate the system from the outside.

The liquid that filled the chamber wasn’t the yellow fluid he had seen before, but a strange, eerie blue.

Alvin Morgan’s expression changed drastically. He lunged forward and grabbed the woman by the throat. “What did you pump into her?”

The woman gave a strange smile. “Advanced Cell Repair Liquid.”

Aurora Sinclair’s face twisted in agony, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Stop it—” Alvin Morgan squeezed the woman’s neck harder.

The madwoman beside them seemed to have lost her mind completely. “Hahaha… I’m about to witness the perfect specimen.”

“Alvin Morgan—”

Eugene Morgan rushed over. Alvin Morgan immediately released the woman, balled his fist, and swung at Eugene’s face.

Eugene Morgan had taught him how to fight, and he had never been able to beat him, not since they were children. But this time…

Alvin Morgan switched to the techniques Aurora Sinclair had taught him and successfully landed a blow on Eugene’s body.

Eugene Morgan didn’t use his “Power,” instead taking his younger brother’s punch head-on.

“You bastard—”

***

When the security personnel burst in, they found the room in complete disarray, with two men rolling on the ground, fighting.

“Doctor, we have intruders. We have to retreat.”

The woman didn’t budge. Her face was still alight with excitement as she watched the girl in the Nutrition Repair Chamber, and she increased the dosage.

’According to the notes, when the S Active Cells reach a certain equilibrium within the human body, it evolves into a superhuman. And if the current T Cell Liquid was added…’

’The master’s long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled.’

Seeing that the woman wouldn’t leave, a security guard immediately moved forward, forcibly hoisted her onto his shoulder, and began to retreat.

“Let go of me… Take her with us…”

The woman pointed at the Nutrition Repair Chamber, but a deafening explosion made the guard’s face drain of color. He simply kept carrying her and headed for the exit.

“Captain, we have to go—”

Eugene Morgan took one of Alvin Morgan’s punches head-on and broke away from the fight.

“Not bad, kid. You’ve improved a lot…”

Eugene Morgan tossed the detonator to Alvin Morgan, then hoisted up the man who’d been knocked down in the partitioned room and turned to run.

The madwoman, however, was left behind, trembling in a corner.

Alvin Morgan immediately looked toward the Nutrition Repair Chamber. Inside, Aurora Sinclair was completely submerged in the blue liquid.

He tried to operate the system, but the chamber was locked. It wouldn’t stop until the program was complete.

“Damn it—”

His watch had used up the bit of power it had recovered, draining it completely to activate the Master Brain, and had now gone dormant.

Alvin Morgan slammed his fist against the Nutrition Repair Chamber’s reinforced glass.

To his surprise, a crack appeared in the glass.

Alvin Morgan’s eyes lit up. He slammed his fist against the glass again, and the cracks grew larger.

Suddenly—

A massive wave of energy blasted him in the chest, sending him flying.

Every pane of glass in the room shattered. The girl lying inside opened her eyes. Her pupils were pitch-black, but her hair was still snow-white.

Aurora Sinclair now felt as if her body was overflowing with Strength, like she had eaten dozens of ginseng roots. She was burning up.

She scanned her surroundings, saw Alvin Morgan lying on the floor, and instantly leaped out of the Nutrition Repair Chamber.

“Morgan…”

Just then, Aiden Morgan also rushed in with his men.

“Sir—”

***

When Alvin Morgan woke up again, he was in a jolting vehicle.

“Aurora…”

Beta Morgan, who was beside him, quickly replied, “Sir, she’s here! Just lie still…”

’His sir had broken two ribs this time.’

“Where is she?” Alvin Morgan struggled to look to the side.

Beta Morgan glanced at the figure outside the window and sighed. “She’s running outside!”

’That girl is like she swallowed a super-tonic. She’s bursting with energy and doesn’t know what to do with it. Not only did she help them carry a Nutrition Repair Chamber and clean out the underground lab of everything useful, but now she’s tirelessly running alongside the vehicle.’

’With that kind of stamina, I wonder if Sir will be able to handle her in the future.’

Beta Morgan couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for his seriously injured sir lying next to him.

BZZZT—

Beta Morgan’s watch suddenly started vibrating. He looked down and saw it was a call from Master Morgan.

He immediately answered the watch, and a deadly serious voice came through.

“What happened? Where is Alvin Morgan?”

“Family Head, the Young Master is injured…”

“Is he alright? Put him on—”

Master Morgan’s voice was laced with anger, as if something terrible had happened.

Beta Morgan glanced at his sir and held the watch to his lips.

“It’s the Family Head.”

Alvin Morgan coughed twice, forcing himself to sit up. “What is it?”

“Did you activate the Master Brain?”

“Yes…”

Hearing this, Beta Morgan, who was standing by, went pale with fright.

“Reason.”

“We discovered the Shadow Organization and an underground laboratory.”

Master Morgan was silent for a long moment.

“Return and give a full report.”

The call ended. Beta Morgan looked at Alvin Morgan, his face etched with worry.

The Master Brain was the Morgan Family’s ultimate weapon, one they had guarded for generations. It was connected to orbital thermal weapons capable of precise strikes on any region on Blue Star and was not to be activated lightly.

Over a hundred years ago, Veridia had used this weapon to annihilate the Guardians of Crestland and end the war, but in doing so, had also become subject to international restrictions.

Therefore, activating the Master Brain was an extremely serious matter. If not handled properly, it could escalate into an international incident.

“Sir, are we going to be…”

“No. This will serve as a warning to certain people.”

Before he could finish, a tremendous explosion sounded.

BOOM—

Their vehicle shook, and a small mushroom cloud rose up behind them.

Flames shot into the sky, dyeing half the horizon red.

Beta Morgan shielded Alvin Morgan tightly, not daring to look up for a long time.

He saw that a massive fire had broken out in the area where the Shadow Organization’s base was located.

“Sir, someone launched a thermal weapon.”

Alvin Morgan’s expression darkened.

’Destroying the evidence, are they…’
