“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,”

“Have you conducted human trials?”“Or have you not?”Joseph turned to Alice. From the look on her face, he could already guess the answer.“Let me explain,” Blake Morgan stepped forward.“We did conduct a human trial. We injected the genetic compound into a terminal cancer patient who had only days left to live.”“After the injection, there was no visible change in the progression of his cancer. However, his physical strength increased more than twentyfold.”“But at the same time, he descended into complete madness. He was utterly uncontrollable, devoid of all sensation, transformed into nothing more than a killing machine.”“Because he could not be restrained, we had no choice but to put him down. Power without control is catastrophic. The destruction he caused was immense, and had it drawn public attention, the consequences would have been beyond our ability to contain.”“It was also because of that human trial that news of our research breakthrough was leaked.”“After that, Profes

“I have a general understanding of the situation.”“What remains is to examine the detailed experimental data, the conclusions—everything confidential.”“Once I’ve reviewed those, I should have a clear picture of what this project truly entails.”Joseph nodded slightly.The file in his hands contained no substantive description of the project itself—only background information on the researchers and basic administrative details. There was no explicit account of what had actually been studied.“The detailed data and comprehensive reports are all in the lab.”“I’ll have Alice walk you through them personally.”“She is now the only one who knows the full truth—the sole keeper of this secret.”“Once you understand the research and its results, you can decide how to proceed.”Blake Morgan continued.“That will suffice.”Joseph inclined his head.“After that, if you choose to take over the project, I’ll arrange for you to meet the Morgan Group’s scientific team.”“If you wish to select assi

“Oh, alright, alright—I’m going.”Mason Alvarez hurried off to wash the dishes.She had always been rather indolent, but under Alice’s influence, even she had begun to change.With Mason in the kitchen, Alice and Joseph retired to rest.In such troubled times, neither Alice nor Mason had the heart for much else.As for Joseph, his thoughts revolved around only two matters: how to ensure Alice’s absolute safety—and how to help both the Cooper family and the Morgan family rise to greater heights.The next morning, Joseph was awakened by the shrill vibration of his phone.He glanced at the screen. It was Geoffrey Harris.After steadying himself, he answered.“Good morning, President Harris.”“Good morning, Mr. Wilson.”Harris’s warm voice came through the line.“What can I do for you?”Joseph asked.“Nothing urgent. I simply wished to have a word.”“I understand that the chairman of the Morgan Group intends to invite you to take over an important project—and to appoint you as their Chief

“How is that overbearing? Joseph is concerned for your safety—don’t be so ungrateful.”“Anyone involved in this project will inevitably become privy to its secrets.”“And right now, there are forces everywhere with their eyes fixed on this research. Anyone who knows the inside details could be in danger.”Alice spoke up at that moment.“It’s not that I don’t understand Mr. Wilson’s concern.”“But if you can stand by his side, then I want to as well.”“Besides, I’ve collaborated with the Morgan Group many times. I’m quite familiar with their research team.”“If he needs assistance, I’m undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.”Mason Alvarez insisted.“I’ll consider it carefully.”“But I need to examine the specifics of the research before making a decision.”Joseph replied.“I’ll call Grandfather tomorrow morning and explain your plan.”“He’s probably already resting.”Alice nodded slightly.Just then, her phone began to vibrate.“Oh—no need to wait until morning.”“Grandfather is call
