Chapter 1157
Serena stared at the names, her gaze turning frosty. “It seems the higher you climb, the more terrified you are of the fall p>
“These elites act like untouchable gods p>
“But in the dark, they’re just pathetic cowards terrified of death p>
Her voice dripped with mockery. “Tens of thousands of innocent lives were drained
of their blood and stripped to the bone just to distill a single vial of this so-called miracle drug p>
“All so they can take a few extra breaths. They’re willing to become test subjects and personal ATMs for The Obsidian Sun Laboratory p>
“It’s as tragic as it is laughable p>
Her fingers flew across her phone screen.
Piece by piece, she transferred every shred of incriminating data from the island into the Ghost Alliance’s encrypted database.
Nicholas’s grip around her waist tightened, a murderous intent swirling in his dark eyes. “Since they love feasting on the innocent to prolong their lives, we’ll make sure they throw up every last drop today p>
“Obviously,” Serena scoffed. “I already gave Black Jack the green light before we left p>
“Black Jack’s side should be locked and loaded p>
“Today, we wipe The Obsidian Sun Laboratory off the map p>
Just as they spoke.
A harsh burst of static erupted from the suite’s high-frequency intercom.
It was followed by a chilling, sinister voice.
“Duke Leopold p>
Serena frowned, exchanging a quick look with Nicholas.
They both recognized that voice immediately.
It was the same one they heard when Arthur Doyle used a satellite phone to beg for his life.
It was Special Envoy Mordecai.
His tone was layered with a creepy, suspicious edge. “This serum is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Why hasn’t your suite placed a single bid p>
“Is there a malfunction with the equipment? Or has your health taken a sudden turn p>
The Envoy was getting suspicious.
The complete silence from the most exclusive VIP suite had triggered his paranoia.
Serena tapped her screen twice, pulling up Duke Leopold’s background file.
The Duke’s medical condition was treated as a state secret in Caldoria.
If word got out that he was dying or hiding on this island, it would trigger a massive financial and political meltdown in his country..net>
Serena merely skimmed the data.
Without missing a beat, she spoke. “What’s the rush p>
“Right now, it’s just dogs fighting over scraps. It’s not my time yet p>
“Fighting with dead men over pennies is beneath me p>
“I’ll make the final call when the time comes p>
Every suite was equipped with a voice modulator, a feature designed by the Obsidian Sun to protect the identities of its wealthy clients.
Serena didn’t have to worry about her real voice slipping through.
All she had to do was perfectly mimic the arrogant, weak, yet demanding cadence detailed in Leopold’s file.
There was a few seconds of dead silence on the other end.
Then, a low chuckle echoed through the speaker.
It was a spine-tingling, eerie laugh.
“I see p>
He sounded respectful, but the undertone was still utterly chilling “Then won’t disturb your peace Your Grace thope you get exactly exactly what you desire today p>
Serena watched her screen to confirm the connection had been severed.
She nodded at Nicholas.
Nicholas arched an eyebrow, his gaze lingering on the intercom. “Do you think he bought it p>
