“Joseph, that move of yours is brilliant,” Blake Morgan exclaimed the moment he grasped the plan.“Even in the publicly released version, I can openly acknowledge significant flaws—and deliberately leave them in.”“With their ambition, even if I warn them of obvious defects, they will press forward regardless.”“And if they hesitate, suspecting we’ve concealed something, they will exhaust every means to obtain the version we’ve hidden.”“And the version I keep in reserve will be an even greater surprise.”Joseph’s gaze sharpened.“This is an open strategy,” Alice murmured, fully understanding now. “No matter what they choose, as long as they harbor ulterior motives, they will fall into the trap.”“You could say that.”“You cannot reason with such people. They will neither listen nor retreat willingly.”“But once they pay a price—perhaps even with their lives—once the pain is undeniable, they will learn caution.”A cold smile touched his lips.“Excellent. Truly excellent.”“We cannot r

“The rest are minor players—none particularly formidable on their own,” Neil Foster said with a trace of concern. “But they are numerous. And that, in itself, is troublesome.”“If they are so eager to obtain this research,” Joseph replied with a cold smile, “then I shall prepare a generous gift for them.”“And what does the Young Master intend to do?” Neil asked, curiosity unmistakable.“You’ll see in due time.”“Without losing a single soldier, I’ll make them suffer a costly lesson.”“They will learn that coveting what belongs to me comes at a price.”His voice was glacial.“It seems you already have a strategy in mind,” Neil said. “Then I won’t pry. I look forward to witnessing it.”“How goes the cleanup within Nova City?” Joseph asked.“We’ve maintained constant operations. Most of the assassins within the city have been eliminated.”“However, new ones continue to arrive. The bounty is enormous—everyone wants to try their luck.”“At this point, neutralizing them has become a long-t

“Because I am confident I can bring this project under control.”“And more importantly, I had no real choice but to accept it. Taking it on is the optimal solution to resolving everything.”“As for the deeper reasons behind that… I’ll tell you when the time is right.”Joseph did not elaborate further.“Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t try to dissuade you,” Fiona said with a quiet sigh.“I only want to remind you to be careful.”“A project this disruptive will attract attention from all over the world—especially from those with ulterior motives.”“I know.”“Truth be told, I may be the only one willing to shoulder it.”“To take it on is to stand at the very center of the storm.”Joseph smiled lightly.“That’s true.”“But a decision like this isn’t one you’d make lightly.”“I won’t say more. If you need anything, just ask.”Fiona nodded.“How is the new drug progressing? Have the suggestions I made last time been implemented?”Joseph shifted the subject.“The rollout is going exce

“Professors Garcia and Gonzalez were renowned researchers across the country. Many of their most outstanding students now work at the Morgan Group.”“With their mentors struck down, it’s only natural that their students feel indignation. Some of them may even wish to carry on their teachers’ unfinished work.”“To walk the path one’s mentor once walked—that, in itself, is a form of legacy.”Alice spoke thoughtfully.“If anyone is willing to join, I would welcome them,” Joseph replied.“In a sense, I am avenging their mentors. Should they choose to contribute, it would be profoundly meaningful.”“Avenge?” Alice glanced at him curiously. “I’m very interested in how you intend to accomplish that.”“You’ll know soon enough.” Joseph smiled faintly.By then, he had already steered the car into Whispering Pines Villas. After a drive of nearly forty minutes, they were finally home.It was close to eight in the evening.They had last eaten at noon, and hunger now gnawed at them mercilessly.The

“As for so-called super-humans, whether they can truly be realized—I don’t know,” Joseph said evenly. “But I do know that certain individuals with ulterior motives already believe they can.”“That is why they are exhausting every means to extract something from our researchers—going so far as to endanger lives.”“If this project remains shrouded in secrecy, speculation will only intensify. And our researchers will suffer even greater harm.”His composure never wavered.“Professor Wilson, since you acknowledge the immense risks involved, why take on this project at all? Aren’t you afraid of those dangers?” another reporter pressed.“Afraid?” Joseph’s lips curved faintly. “What others call monsters in the dark are, to me, nothing extraordinary.”The audacity of his reply stirred a ripple of astonishment through the room.He continued answering questions for some time. Save for matters involving classified information, he spoke with remarkable candor—leaving little unsaid.By the time th

Many of those present had not personally participated in Research Project No. 957, yet all were aware of its existence.Of its two principal investigators, one was dead, the other left paralyzed, with little hope of ever regaining consciousness.Everyone understood, at least in part, the project’s taboo nature.When Joseph, a newcomer, was appointed Chief Scientist, some found it questionable. But the moment they learned he would assume control of Project No. 957, their perspective shifted.Anyone bold enough to take on Project No. 957 was more than qualified to serve as Chief Scientist of the Morgan Group.After all, not everyone possessed such resolve.“Is Project No. 957 really going to be restarted? Is that wise?”“Chairman, before relaunching 957, we should conduct a collective evaluation. Its sensitivity is no secret to any of us.”“Exactly. Restarting it demands extreme caution.”“…”Voices rose one after another, each tinged with concern.“Project 957 is indeed extraordinary,”
