Chapter 799
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 cursed, “What a useless piece of sh*t!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtScar staggered and stumbled on his way out. After he left, a white–bearded elderly man walked out with a fly–whisk
in his hand.
It was Reign Maverick.
The Emperor rubbed his temples and asked, “What’s your opinion on this?”
Reign sat down and said, “You’re the only one in charge of the research data. Naturally, I have no opinion on the
matter. I should be the one asking you instead. If that person knows of this, it’ll be over for you.”
The Emperor’s face darkened, and he said in a low voice, “This is ridiculous! Security is tight at the research
laboratories. Not only that, the experimental labs are full of mechanisms. Who the hell was it? How did they
manage to steal the research data without us noticing?”
Reign asked, “Do you have a copy?”
The Emperor nodded. “I do. However, I’m worried that the data will leak. We have to get it back as soon as
possible.”
Reign asked again, “How’s the research going?”
“It’s near perfection. The mortality rate has greatly decreased. However, the virus will still invade the nervous
system of the brain. Once contracted with the virus, an individual can only live for three years maximum. This is too
short. Further improvements will have to be made,” said the Emperor.
“Mhm.” Reign nodded.
The Emperor was deep in thought. After a long while, he asked, “Could it be James?”
“Huh?”
Reign momentarily froze. Then, he asked, “Why do you think so?”
The Emperor shook his head. “Just a hunch. I have this feeling that he knows something. Back then when we were
still in the Capital, he came asking me about something that happened a hundred years ago. He seems to be aware
of the plan from a century ago. I don’t understand. Who was the hell who told him?”
Reign remained silent.
The Emperor continued, “I suspected James too when Blake escaped from imprisonment. All this while, my men
have been watching him closely. However, his body is growing weaker by the day. Not only that, he’s being pushed
around in his wheelchair everywhere he goes. He doesn’t seem to be capable of accomplishing such a feat.
However, after the incident at the underground cavern, security in Cansington is tight. The mercenaries can’t sneak
in anymore.”
“It couldn’t be him,” Reign said. “My Gu venom is extremely poisonous. In another few months, he’ll be lying on his
deathbed.”
“I hope so.” The Emperor took a deep breath and said, “But if it isn’t James, I can’t think of anyone else.”
*Reign uttered coldly, “This is none of my concern. I will take my leave.”
He then stood up and left.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the same time, Scar returned to the research laboratory and immediately began. investigating the theft of the
research data.
After a day, he finally found something. It was not done by a single person. Instead, it was done by a group of
people, who had infiltrated the research laboratory a long time ago.
However, Scar could not find out anything about their identities.
In the office of the research laboratory….
Stroking his chin, Scar was deep in thought.
“Scar, these are the latest photos.” A henchman walked in and handed Scar a few photos. They were photos taken
when James and Blake interacted.
“James is reported to have interacted with an unknown man near the Callahans‘ villa. After the man entered the
underground parking lot, James immediately followed suit. When this man left, James also headed home
immediately.”
far looked at the photos. Since Blake was wearing a cap and had lowered his head the whole time, Scar could not
discern his appearance from the photos alone.
He tapped on the desk. As the person in charge of the research laboratory, he was also responsible for keeping
tabs on James‘ whereabouts. Then, he would relay what information. he could find to the Emperor.
“But everything’s normal here.”
