Chapter 1373 Revealing the Past
We were in the cave, so the footsteps sounded hollow and clear on this quiet night.We all looked toward the door.Cane led in Clark, who looked pale and much thinner than I saw him last.My father narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of fierceness filled them. I stood by his side and quickly touched his shoulder, afraid his emotions would be affected.After Clark entered, he sneakily glanced around the room.But the next moment, when his gaze fell on my father in the wheelchair, he seemed to have stepped on an electric switch and was trembling uncontrollably.With eyes full of fear and helplessness, he looked at my father."Rory…” He involuntarily took a step back.But the bodyguard behind him suddenly pushed him forward, causing him to stagger forward uncontrollably. After regaining his balance, he made a surprising move.He knelt in front of my father with a thud."Rory, I-I was wrong. Please forgive me!" He kept repeating this with his head hung low.Standing behind my
Chapter 1374 Brutal Torture
"I only knew that you two frequently traveled. I couldn't find anything solid, so she asked me to report to her about the purpose of your trips and the people you would meet. Tina was responsible for reporting your schedules," Clark explained."She said you and Louis had a secret that couldn't be revealed and asked me to get close to you and figure out what was happening."Leaving you alive was also her idea. At the time, she just told me to knock you out, but she didn’t mention anything about killing Mr. Louis! I knew nothing about that.”"You're still trying to justify yourself? Then tell me, who killed my mom?" I couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.Atlas immediately hugged me, softly saying, "Don't be angry.""How did Celine know about the secret plan between Louis and me?" my father asked Clark."She had long been in collusion with the organization. I don't know how she found out about the secret between Louis and you, but I only knew that she... she was the mistress of the
Chapter 1375 Aching Knees
Clark hung his head, saying, "I held the potion, hesitating all along, not knowing what to do. Then I received a call from Celine. She was shouting at me, saying she would give me two more hours or I would return to my mother’s dead body."I reluctantly went to the Pierce family’s residence, and Mrs. Lucille was just leaving the house then. I said I needed to talk to her. Her attitude was colder than ever before. I felt a bit scared because it was like she knew something."Clark glanced at us, then quickly lowered his gaze."Sure enough, Mrs. Lucille looked at me and asked, 'Tell me where Rory is.'"Tears welled up in my eyes, and Atlas tightened his arm around mine. I knew Atlas sensed my fluctuating emotions.Clark continued, "I pretended to comfort her, saying Rory was indeed dead. She suddenly got angry and aggressively asked me, 'Do you also think Rory is dead? Then tell me, how did he die?' I felt guilty and didn't know how to answer her."She then asked me, 'What did he sa
Chapter 1376 Unraveling Deep-Seated Resentment
My adoptive father, George, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked, "Were you the one who received the child from Navi?"Clark turned to look at George, squinting slightly, while Atlas urged in a sinister tone, "Speak!""Yes." Clark nodded, "That's how I got to know Navi.""How old was the kid? Do you remember any distinguishing features?" He seemed eager and involuntarily took a step forward.I knew he was trying to find out about where Gemma was."It was a girl. She was young, around 8 or 9 years old. There was nothing particularly distinctive about her.""And what happened to that child afterward?" I asked."She... she is now Ms. Stella," Clark said naturally.I glanced at Atlas.Stella again? But why had Atlas said the test results proved she wasn't Gemma?"Are there any other girls around Celine?" I asked."I don't know." Clark glanced at Atlas, then quickly continued, "She never let me get close to her inner circle. She only entrusted me with minor tasks and dea
Chapter 1377 What a Well-Executed Plan
Clark continued, "I sensed something was wrong. She didn’t trust me anymore, so I secretly took my son out and kept him close to me. After all, he was still young, and I was afraid that Celine might harm him. Her usual tactic was to use him to control me."I tilted my head, murmuring, "What a perfect scheme."Clark looked at Atlas and said, "I knew that if I handed him over, she would have no use for me. So, I tested the waters..."Atlas looked at him expressionlessly, his gaze icy. "Go on."Clark turned to my father. "I told Celine you had escaped. That was when you constantly wanted to flee. When I tried that, I found out that she really wanted me dead."I had no other choice and nowhere to run. She sent her spies out everywhere to hunt me down. In the end, I had to seek refuge with Navi."I didn't know anyone else at the time. But even if I did, no one would have dared to shelter me. But Navi was different. I knew what he was capable of. He was ruthless and he wasn’t afraid of
Chapter 1378 Don't Rush, Think It Through
When my father heard Clark's question, he looked at him mockingly. "Yes, we do. It's a secret that would fulfill all your desires overnight, and it’s something you couldn't even dream of!"A glimmer of hope shone in my father's eyes like a halo of imminent achievement."But someone like you doesn’t deserve to know this secret. You’re destined to be nothing but a clown, a lowlife who lives in the gutter forever!”With that said, he looked at Atlas. "Get him out of here."Clark immediately knelt up, looking at my father. "Rory, I did everything. Spare my son. He...""We can’t forgive him either. He harmed the people I love. This will be the last time you two will ever meet," Atlas said calmly."Don't get cocky. When I'm gone, my son will grow up and never let you off the hook," Jarvis shouted furiously."Too bad you don't have a son anymore," Cane said icily."What do you mean? Say that again!" Jarvis struggled, looking at Cane angrily, demanding, "What did you do to my son? Tell
Chapter 1379 Clark's Retribution
Cane nodded, "It’s absolutely true. We were watching that kid all along, but he was reckless. His mother couldn't control him, and he was disrespectful. Plus, he had a history of addiction since he was eleven."His words shocked all of us.Cane sneered, "This was all Clark's fault. After he got in touch with Navi to protect himself from Celine's retaliation, he tried to send Jarvis to Navi. Once Jarvis was there, he fit in perfectly. It was as if he had found his calling."Clark didn't hesitate to join the trade for money. He hid the drugs at home and even used his son as cover during occasional sales. Over time, that brat’s curiosity led him to try it, and he ended up addicted. Things spiraled out of control from there."My father sighed. "The father and son have met their karma. They're paying for their sins now."After leaving the cave area, Atlas led the two fathers around, explaining the situation here. It was as bright as day despite it being night time.Both my fathers loo
Chapter 1380 Setting Up a Laboratory
We had watched Cane burn the notebook at Navi’s base, so how did we still have it?Atlas smirked. "I wouldn't actually burn George's life's work, of course. We burned a replica. We just made it look old."Oh."You still have it? That's great." My dad couldn't contain his excitement. "That’s fantastic, but it wouldn't be a loss even if it had been burned. All that data has been deeply ingrained in my mind. Besides, there's a lot of unpleasant stuff in there. We’re better off without it.""You're mistaken, George." Atlas countered. "I want to develop an antidote against those toxins. It's a promising venture and an urgent global project.""Do you have any ideas?" George asked immediately."I do. Several top research teams across the world are working on this, but there hasn't been a breakthrough yet. Your data and formulas are already in a leading position. If we succeed, it'll be a project that will benefit humanity and rescue those people. You'll be remembered throughout history.
