“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

“By the way, sir, things here are more or less under control.”“Quite a few assassins entered Nova City tonight. It might be wiser for you to return to Miss Morgan’s side.”“Though we’ve stationed plenty of capable men around her residence—”“—with you protecting her personally, her safety would be beyond question.”Brian Adams seemed to recall something and turned to Joseph.“You’re right.”“I’ll leave the rest to you.”“I’ll head back now. Contact me if anything arises.”Joseph glanced at the time. It was just past midnight.Compared to the previous operation, this one had been resolved swiftly.“Understood.”Brian nodded.Joseph did not linger. Before long, he was driving toward Whispering Pines Villas.When he arrived home, the lights in the villa were still on.It was already one in the morning.That girl Alice—and Mason Alvarez—were likely waiting up for him again.The thought stirred a warmth in Joseph’s chest.He pushed the door open and stepped inside.Alice was curled up bes

“Ugh…”Ano Eagle stared at Joseph, blood spilling from his mouth. He tried to speak, but no words came.The damage to his body was catastrophic.A man renowned for the sheer toughness of his physique had been unable to withstand even three of Joseph’s punches.Just how terrifying was Joseph’s strength?By then, Neil Foster and the others had come down as well.As Neil reached Joseph’s side, Ano Eagle breathed his last.“That’s it? He’s dead?”Neil stared at the corpse in disbelief.“Compared to most assassins, he was indeed resilient—strong, too. Unfortunately for him, he met me.”Joseph regarded the body calmly.“It’s fortunate you stepped in, sir. Otherwise, we might have been at it for hours—and lost a few brothers along the way.”Neil spoke with lingering unease.“Cut off his head.”Joseph instructed.“Understood.”“Do as the sir says.”Neil gestured to one of his men, who immediately set to work.“I wonder how Old Adams is faring.”Joseph found a tissue somewhere and began wiping
