Chapter 1345
“Severia would never do such a thing p>
“Is that right?” Nicholas sat at the computer, his low, magnetic scoff carrying through the microphone for everyone to hear.
His long fingers flew across the keyboard.
The main screen instantly flashed with the Severian syndicate’s backend
authorization logs.
Every single command, timestamp, approval, and authorization matched perfectly.
There was no denying it.
At the same time, Julian hung up his phone and cast a chilling look at the terrified Severian officials beside him.
His voice was dangerously calm. “My acquisitions team has already locked down the asset chains and server gateways for all your upper-tier operations p>
“Every account under your names, every server maintenance link, every data host— all of it is completely frozen p>
Julian pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. “I’d like to see how you plan to wipe the databases and destroy the evidence now p>
The main control center erupted into absolute chaos.
Meanwhile.
In the VIP suites.
The heavy doors to Special Envoy Mordecai’s private suite were violently kicked open.
Jerrick and Jasper stormed in, weapons drawn, practically radiating murderous intent.
The Severian Syndicate Council members in the room instantly lost whatever composure they had left.
Some turned and tried to sprint for the exit.
Some lunged for their computers, desperate to delete the files.
Another panicked and reached for his gun.
“You’ve got a death wish p>
A ruthless glint flashed in Jerrick’s eyes. He closed the distance in three strides and brutally kicked over a heavy desk.
Crash!
The massive tabletop slammed squarely onto the knees of the technician trying to delete the data.
“Ah p>
The technician let out a bloodcurdling scream, collapsing to the floor with his legs entirely shattered.
The official who had just pulled his gun had his wrist fractured by a vicious chop from Jasper, sending the weapon clattering to the floor.
By then, Jerrick had already pressed the muzzle of his gun right against Mordecai’s forehead, his eyes brimming with lethal intent.
“Go ahead. Run p>
“I dare one of you to take another step p>
Mordecai slumped in his chair, his face entirely devoid of color as cold sweat poured down his forehead.
He knew.
The Overlord had completely abandoned him.
The current situation was more than enough proof that he was now nothing but a discarded pawn.
And since he wasn’t making it out alive p>
Then he was going to take them all straight to hell with him!
A flash of absolute madness ripped through Mordecai’s eyes.
Without giving anyone a fraction of a second to react, he suddenly
retrieved a syringe from his sleeve
and violently plunged it into his own
neck. “Let’s all die together
“You bastard!” Jerrick’s expression darkened as he lunged forward to stop him.
But he was a second too late.
The eerie blue liquid was already fully injected.
“Roar p>
Mordecai let out an agonizing, inhuman shriek.
His entire face began to contort. The bones in his body snapped and popped with horrifyingly loud cracks, and h muscles swelled so violently
they ripped through his experisive.. suit, his veins bulging out of his skin.
In just a few terrifying seconds, he had mutated into something out of a nightmare.
However, the mutation was clearly unstable.
Unlike the fully stabilized Apex Augments in Cabin 10, he looked like a grotesque, mismatched, and failed prototype.
But even so, the sheer, explosive power radiating from him was staggering.
Mordecai flipped the heavy control console effortlessly, swinging his massive, swollen arms directly toward the core server rack beside him.
He was going to destroy the data.
And then he was going to slaughter his way out!
“Holy shit!” Jasper’s face turned green as he watched the scene unfold, a curse slipping out. “The Obsidian Sun is completely out of their minds. They treat their own. people like disposable Lab Specimens p>
