“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,”

“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
