“But even so, there will still be people who refuse to believe it.”“So the best solution is to release the research publicly while shifting the focus from you to someone else.”Joseph continued evenly.“Shift it to someone else? How?”Mason Alvarez asked at once.“It’s simple.”“I join the project. Then the findings are published under my name in a reputable scientific journal.”“That way, every pair of eyes will turn to me.”Joseph’s tone was calm, almost casual.“No, absolutely not.”“Joseph, that would put you in danger.”“I won’t allow it. Under no circumstances.”Alice waved her hands immediately, her refusal firm.“If someone must stand in danger, it’s better me than you. I have more than enough ability to protect myself—you don’t.”“If they decide to move against me, they won’t dare act recklessly.”Joseph spoke without hesitation.“I think Professor Wilson is right,” Mason said thoughtfully.“If this works, it would drastically reduce the cost and complexity of protecting you

“So it wasn’t a dream. Professor Wilson, you really came back.”Mason Alvarez rubbed her eyes again, as if afraid he might vanish the moment she blinked.“Why don’t you go back to sleep for a bit?”Joseph said with a smile as he slipped off his coat.“No.”“Come here, you infuriating man. Let your sister steal a kiss.”Without waiting for his consent, Mason threw her arms around him and planted a fierce, unrestrained kiss on his lips.“What are you doing? I’ve barely walked in and you’re already ambushing me with kisses.”Joseph felt almost breathless under the assault.“Because we missed you.”“Because we were worried.”“Seeing you back safe means everything must’ve been settled perfectly.”“With that kind of relief, shouldn’t we do something a little inappropriate to celebrate?”Mason beamed mischievously.“I should warn you—I smell terrible.”Joseph chuckled.“Like blood,” Mason replied bluntly, blinking up at him.“Exactly.”“And that doesn’t bother you?”Joseph asked.“For someon

After Joseph offered the first incense, the others stepped forward one by one to pay their respects.“Young Master, the first wave of assassins has been dealt with.”“But more will inevitably enter Nova City.”“Once we’ve begun this operation, there’s no turning back.”“For quite some time to come, we’ll be in a constant state of elimination.”“They’ve suffered heavy losses tonight. The next wave will be far more cautious.”Neil Foster approached Joseph, brows knitted in concern.“Old Foster is right,” Brian Adams added with a nod. “If Miss Morgan remains at the center of this storm indefinitely, it’s not a sustainable solution.”“You mentioned earlier that you had a way to change the situation. May we ask what you have in mind?”“My plan requires no involvement from you,” Joseph replied evenly. “Continue with what we’ve already arranged.”“Leave the rest to me.”His tone carried quiet certainty.“Very well. We won’t press further,” Neil said. “But the assassins who follow will be str

“Boy, mind your tone! Is that how you speak to the Young Master?”Brian Adams’ expression darkened as he rebuked him.“It’s fine,” Joseph said, raising a hand lightly. “Ambition in the young is no fault. I admire it.”“I meant no disrespect,” Tony Rogers replied at once, dropping to one knee. “I only wish to grow stronger and earn distinction.”“Rise,” Joseph said calmly. “Since the matter is settled, we return. See to your wound without delay.”“Yes, Young Master.”Tony answered with deference.“I’ll take Monad’s head.”Brian Adams tightened his grip on his blade.“Chief Instructor, allow me.”Tony stepped forward eagerly.“Oh?”Adams regarded him for a moment, then handed him the knife.“Very well. Do it.”Tony approached Monad’s body. He lifted the blade high and brought it down in a single, decisive stroke.The head separated cleanly.Blood splashed across his face, yet he merely clenched his jaw. There was even a flicker of exhilaration in his eyes.“The boy’s mental fortitude is

Just as Brian Adams was about to strike, his movement was restrained in an instant.“Young Master?”He looked up and found Joseph standing behind him.“How is it? Monad is ranked eleventh on the leaderboard. Is he really that troublesome?”Joseph’s gaze rested calmly on the two figures locked in combat inside the steel factory.“It’s not that he’s difficult,” Adams replied, shaking his head. “It’s just that neither I nor the others have intervened.”“Who’s the kid?” Joseph asked.“He enrolled in the Military Command Academy last year. Tony Rogers. Nineteen this year. Comes from a martial family—both his grandfather and father served in the armed forces.”“The boy’s foundation is solid. After I brought him in, his progress was astonishing. He’s already ranked within the top thirty on the leaderboard.”“Of course, compared to you at his age, he’s still far behind. But he’s a prodigy, without question—his future is limitless.”“This time, he wants to kill Monad with his own hands and tak

“He really was here.”Clarence Bennett gazed at the headless corpse on the ground, his voice filled with certainty.“There’s someone inside. Let’s go.”Hearing movement from within the house, Mandy moved to rush in.Clarence caught her arm.“Careful.”He turned to the soldiers beside him.“Stay alert.”With that, he stepped inside first, every movement measured and cautious.The moment they entered, they saw an elderly woman and a little girl huddled in the corner.An old man lay near the table, collapsed in a pool of blood.“Ma’am, what happened here?”Clarence asked gently.“Please—save my husband. He’s still alive, he’s still breathing.”The old woman’s voice trembled with urgency.“Get in here! Take him to the hospital—now!”Mandy called out, then turned back. “Ma’am, are you hurt?”“The girl and I are fine. A benefactor saved us. He killed the bandit outside—cut off his head.”Though shaken, the old woman spoke clearly.Mandy and Clarence exchanged a look. Each saw the same concl
