James looked at Blake and waited for him to speak. Blake took a deep breath and said, “You’d never guess what was being researched in that lab in the mountains.” James’ curiosity was piqued. He asked, “What did you find?” Blake continued, “You know about Gu venom, don’t you? It’s one of the most venomous things in the world. It takes years, even centuries, to raise a Gu. Each Gu possesses deadly poison and unknown viruses. What’s most scary about them is the virus they carry.” “What are you trying to say?” With a grim expression, Blake said, “The research laboratory is conducting research on viruses.” “Viruses?!” James was stunned. “Have you ever heard of the Undead Warrior?” Blake asked. James shook his head. “No.” Blake explained, “By using viruses to change the cellular structure of the human body, the individual will gain immense strength. Not only that, he will lose his physical senses and become a ruthless and cold-blooded puppet warrior that only obeys commands
James nodded and got in the wheelchair. Then, they headed back. Looking at the USB drive in his hand, he was deep in contemplation. The Undead Warrior? His expression turned grim. Using viruses to change the cellular structure of a human body was not impossible. After all, he had used drugs to strengthen his body during training sessions before. However, viruses were much more terrifying than drugs. That was because he had experienced it beforehand. Soon, they arrived at the Callahans’ villa. Gladys was playing poker with her friends. Upon seeing James, she ordered, “James, go buy some groceries and prepare lunch. My friends will be having their meal with us here.” “Mrs. Hill, he’s the former Black Dragon! How could you order him to buy groceries?” One of the rich ladies was stunned. “This is nothing surprising.” Gladys smiled. “Even when he was the Black Dragon, he obeyed my every command.” “Impressive!” “You must be proud to have such a son-in-law.” The other
After Tiara left, James sat cross-legged on the floor and entered into a state of deep mediation to begin his cultivation. At the same time, in the Capital… At the Emperor’s Mansion… Wearing a grim expression, the Emperor sat on the sofa while gesturing the motion of a gun. Meanwhile, a middle-aged man was kneeling before him. He looked around forty years old and had an ordinary appearance apart from the scar on his face. It made him look hideous. “Tell me… What do you plan to do next?” the Emperor asked in a cold voice. Shivering in fear, the man kneeling before him said, “G-Give me another chance. Three days! In three days, I will find out who infiltrated the research laboratory and stole the research data. I will definitely bring the data back.” “Three days, Scar! If you can’t find the research data in three days, I’ll have your head. Remember, kill all who have seen the research data.” “U-Understood!” The man kneeling on the ground nodded profusely. The Emperor
Scar muttered. Then, he asked, “Is there anything suspicious about the woman pushing James’ wheelchair?” The henchman replied, “She went out in the morning. As we were all watching James closely, we didn’t follow her, but she was out for approximately three hours. By the time she got back, she has a basket of vegetables. She should have been out buying groceries.” “Three hours for grocery shopping?” Scar murmured. Then, he ordered, “From now on, watch the woman closely. I want you to keep tabs on her whereabouts.” “Scar, do you still suspect James?” “I don’t, but my boss does. You’re dismissed.” “Understood.” … James remained in the room the whole day. Even his meals were brought to him by Tiara. In the evening, Thea returned. After working the whole day, she was feeling fatigued, not to mention that her injuries had yet to recover. The moment she got home, she went upstairs. Looking at James, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed like a statue, she asked while
Since James was being closely watched by the Emperor’s men, he could only rely on Tiara to contact the others. He was worried that something would happen to her, so he reminded her to be on her guard. Tiara smiled sweetly. “It’s gonna be fine. They would have made a move against me a long time ago if they wanted to. Besides, I’m just someone you hired. They have no reason to target me.” “Anyway, be careful. The Emperor will surely act now that the research data has been stolen. He’ll be watching my every move closely, and possibly even yours.” “Don’t worry, I’ll be on my guard. I’ll call you if anything happens. Please leave the kitchen now. I have to do my dishes.” “Got it.” James turned to leave. However, he did not go upstairs but instead remain in the living room. After tidying up the kitchen, Tiara walked out with a trash bag. “I’ll be on my way, James.” “Alright, be careful!” Tiara smiled sweetly and left. James only headed upstairs after she was gone. Thea
Distraught, it took Tara a while to recollect herself. Then, she opened the car door to take a glimpse at what was going on. The moment the door opened, however, a man charged at her and covered her mouth. He forcibly dragged her into the black sedan. Before the taxi driver could react, the black sedan had left. He immediately called the police.The black sedan immediately headed toward the suburbs. In the car… Tiara’s mouth was covered, and she was pinned down in the backseat of the car. Her strength was limited, so she could not break free no matter how hard she tried. Nasir grabbed the plastic bag in her hand and rummaged through it. He found a document inside and he immediately opened it. Once he saw the content, his face turned pale. “Quick, return to the base. I need to find Scar immediately.” In the Callahans’ villa… James was sitting on the bed meditating. He looked at the time. It was already 10 p.m. Tiara had been out for two hours. A round trip to Medical
James was full of regret. When Blake gave him the research data to him in the morning, he knew that the Emperor would definitely make a move. Despite reminding Tiara to be on her guard, he never expected the Emperor would act so swiftly. In just a day, Tiara was abducted. If James had not asked her to head to Jay’s place for the information, this would not have happened in the first place. He silently sat on the sofa. Thea walked over to him. Seeing his grim expression, she sat beside him and grabbed his hand. “What’s wrong, honey? Are you not feeling well?” James shook his head. “It’s nothing.” He had no intention of telling Thea about his plans. At the same time, in the military region… After taking over Tiara’s abduction case and receiving all information regarding the incident, the military immediately began their investigation. They accessed the security feeds and learned that the black sedan had left the city. As there were no surveillance cameras outside the c
Upon hearing this, Blake froze. Then, he asked, “Why? Did something happen?” “Tiara was abducted. She should now be in the Emperor’s research laboratory. The military has mobilized. Should they fail, we will force our way in to save her and burn down the place while we’re at it.” James’ face was dark. All this while, the Emperor had been targeting him, but James remained passive. It was understandable if the Emperor targeted James, yet time and again, the Emperor made moves on the people around him. First, it was Thea. Now, it was Tiara. Tiara was a kind-hearted girl, and James had let her down once. If anything happened to her, he would feel remorseful for a lifetime. It was time to show the Emperor that he was no pushover. “Alright, I’ll be there in three hours.” Blake hung up the phone. James tossed his phone aside. He leaned on the sofa and covered his face. At the same time, in the military region… The Blithe King mobilized the army. Hundreds of helicopte
