Chapter 1294
Serena had already eaten a full meal with her team earlier, so she only took a few symbolic bites to keep her brothers happy.
Julian watched her eat with a fond, gentle gaze.
Once she put her fork down, he smoothly steered the conversation back to the violence that had just occurred.
He glanced toward the area where the bodies had been. “Serena, those things… they didn’t look like regular assassins p>
“Were they sent by Severia to stop you from competing p>
Given how completely she dominated the field, the Severians were certainly dirty enough to try a stunt like this.
Serena took a napkin, delicately wiping her mouth, and gave a faint nod. “More or less p>
“Though you couldn’t really call them ‘people’ anymore p>
Julian’s eyes widened slightly in shock.
What did she mean, they weren’t people?
Serena explained calmly, “They’re experimental subjects injected with a highly volatile serum. They’re biologically beyond human at this point p>
“To be blunt, they are a new breed of biological weaponry p>
“If they mass-produce these Augments, it’s going to trigger a catastrophic global conflict p>
“Obsidian Sun isn’t just trying to make money or steal a single patent. They’re building an immortal army p>
“They want war. They want to completely restructure the global hierarchy p>
Julian and Jerrick’s expressions instantly turned grim.
Especially Jerrick.
His entire classified mission in Severia was to hunt down Obsidian Sun.
Hearing Serena lay out their endgame with such terrifying clarity made his blood run cold.
He opened his palm, looking down at the blood-stained chip. “What exactly is this?” “And how did you know to dig it out of their skulls p>
Serena was always patient when it came to her family. “These Augments are different from the previous models. The ones they sent tonight are clearly an upgraded version p>
The standard Augments she had dealt with before could never have scaled a thirty- seven-story glass facade.
Her eyes darkened. “Which means Obsidian Sun is rapidly perfecting their formula p>
“At this rate, they’re going to create the ultimate, flawless Augment very soon p>
“When that happens, the global
balance of power will shatter. Wa
won’t be a possibility; full be an absolute certainty.” Content Belongs
She paused, letting her gaze drop to the metal chip in Jerrick’s hand.
“As for that p>
“Have you ever seen a zombie movie p>
Jerrick: p>
Julian: p>
Nicholas raised an eyebrow, already guessing exactly what she was about to say.
Right on cue.
A wicked little smirk touched
Serena’s red lips, a flicker of dry amusement dancing in her eyes “Don’t upgraded zombies always
આ
drop some kind of core when you kill
them p>
“I figured these freaks were basically the same thing, so I sliced one open to check p>
“Turns out I was right p>
Jerrick stared at her, deadpan.
He took a deep breath, his eye twitching violently.
“Serena,” he forced out, barely holding it together. “You can’t just treat me like an idiot. How could these things be like zombies? Do look that gullible?” fo
Before he could finish his complaint.
*Smack p>
A sharp slap echoed through the room.
Julian casually reached over and smacked Jerrick right on the back of his head.
Jerrick completely froze.
He turned his head slowly, staring at his older brother in utter betrayal. “Julian?” What was the hit for p>
He was the fearsome commander of Dragon-Thorn Squad, Elyndor’s finest. Even if Julian was his older brother, he couldn’t just hit him in front of everyone!
