C205 – Gene Lock Breaking Project
“Ah!”
A wretched cry escaped the Grandmaster as his right arm was obliterated, marking a rare instance of injury for soone of his caliber.
The loss of an arm inflicted significant harm upon a Grandmaster Evolver.
Moreover, his potency would undoubtedly suffer a severe blow.
“What?”
Witnessing the grueso sight, the companion behind the one-ard individual paled in terror. They hadn’t anticipated that a seemingly innocuous firearm could wield such devastating power.
Even the most formidable cannons of this era couldn’t nearly slay a Grandmaster Evolver!
Could it be that this firearm didn’t belong to the weapons of this era?
Observing from a distance with divine psychokinesis, Loong Chen held his breath.
The potency of this firearm was truly fearso.
Consider that its wielder was rely an ordinary individual.
It defied belief for an ordinary person to inflict injury, let alone death, upon a Grandmaster Evolver with external aid.
Loong Chen found himself increasingly intrigued by the situation.
“Everyone, be careful.”
The companion trailing the one-ard man shouted, casting a more serious glance at the woman.
In that mont, a man sporting a buzz cut stepped forward.
Just as the woman prepared to fire, the buzz-cut man hastily interjected.
“Wait, I have sothing to say!”
Upon hearing this, she indeed paused, though she still aid the gun at him, her vigilance undiminished.
“Miss Yini, we harbor no hostile intentions towards you. Our boss simply wishes to invite you back to the company to aid in a critical project. Only you possess the expertise necessary for the genetic lock breakthrough. Our boss earnestly desires successful collaboration with you.”
“The success of the genetic lock project holds profound implications for humanity. Your contributions would be immortalized in history.”
The man with the buzz cut hastened to persuade her, employing rhetoric to sway her decision.
“Hmph, I’m not oblivious to your intentions. Gao Hong seeks to exploit , turning into a re tool at his beck and call. He desires only the knowledge in my mind and my expertise.”
“Once I achieve the genetic lock breakthrough for him, he’ll discard without hesitation.”
Miss Yini snorted coldly.
Initially, she had contemplated collaborating to gain recognition and perks for herself.
However, it wasn’t until that fateful day, when the company’s principal, Gao Hong, intoxicated and intent on nefarious deeds, divulged the truth to her, that she realized she had been manipulated all along.
Upon project completion, Gao Hong would swiftly appropriate all credit. Despite being the lead researcher on the genetic lock project, her contributions would remain unrecognized.
Seizing an opportunity amidst the company’s negligence, she made her escape.
Yet, she was soon detected by the very surveillance system she had engineered.
Thus, the current scenario unfolded.
“Miss Yini, your understanding is quite mistaken. In reality…”
The burly man with the crew cut appeared uneasy, eager to elucidate, but as he uttered commonplace words, his body suddenly shifted.
Before Miss Yini could react, it was already too late to take aim.
As a Peak Grandmaster adept, the buzz cut man’s velocity had reached its zenith. His extensive dialogue monts ago had served to distract Miss Yini, a tactic clearly successful.
Just as Miss Yini prepared to discharge her weapon, the short-haired Grandmaster materialized before her.
With formidable force, he deflected her spear, driving it forcefully into the ground.
“Hmph, you really are a bitch!”
The short-haired Grandmaster said with a ferocious expression.
“You’re not unattractive. Were it not for the boss’s interest in you, I’d have punished you on the spot,” remarked the short-haired Grandmaster with a frigid grin, causing Miss Yini’s complexion to drain.
Miss Yini’s countenance paled as the short-haired Grandmaster spoke.
Just as she prepared to activate the Superpowered Shoes concealed beneath her feet, the short-haired Grandmaster anticipated her move, swiftly gripping her neck.
“Don’t struggle. Return with us quietly. Perhaps the boss will pardon you if he’s pleased,” he advised, his grip firm.
Despite Miss Yini’s vigorous resistance, she remained a re mortal, incapable of breaking free from the clutches of a Grandmaster warrior.
“Let’s head back,” the short-haired Grandmaster commanded loudly, ready to retreat.
Yet, after taking a few strides, they halted abruptly.
Their pause was prompted by the sudden appearance of another individual.
A figure materialized before them, halting their progress.
“Who are you?” inquired the short-haired Grandmaster, his brow furrowed deeply as he addressed the newcor.
The short-haired Grandmaster questioned the newcor with a stern tone.
Despite appearing youthful, akin to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, he remained vigilant.
After all, individuals of ordinary caliber seldom traversed such desolation.
Furthermore, he detected no discernible aura emanating from the youth obstructing his path.
“Release her. You’re free to go,” the youth proclaid calmly.
With an indifferent deanor, the youth uttered these words composedly.
He was none other than Loong Chen.
His decision to intervene and rescue the woman wasn’t rooted in her beauty, nor in the Superpowered Shoes, pulse gun, or the seemingly spatial pocket.
It was because of their prior discourse regarding the genetic lock breakthrough project.
The genetic lock posed the ultimate hurdle to ascending to King Level. Could this ostensibly ordinary woman possess the knowledge to locate and circumvent the genetic lock?
This was the impetus behind Loong Chen’s intervention.
“Your arrogance knows no bounds! Saving her to appear heroic? Alas, you’ve misjudged!”
Before the short-haired Grandmaster could interject, the one-ard Grandmaster’s voice cut through the air with icy precision.
Having already harbored imnse resentnt over his broken arm, the one-ard Grandmaster restrained himself from retaliating against Miss Yini, his assailant. However, encountering Loong Chen, who now blocked his path, provided an outlet for his pent-up frustration.
Intent on unleashing his fury upon Loong Chen, he harbored no intention of restraint.
eting the enraged outburst of a one-ard Grandmaster, Loong Chen rely cast him a chilly glance and spoke in an indifferent tone.
“Have you ever pondered why you’re the sole casualty among so many?”
“What are you insinuating?”
The one-ard Grandmaster was montarily taken aback, uncertain why Loong Chen posed such a query.
“Because you always seek to draw attention to yourself.”
Loong Chen’s smile held a frigid edge as he suddenly vanished from his spot.
“Danger, brace yourselves!”
Reacting swiftly, the short-haired Grandmaster issued a warning.
Yet, it was too late. With a pitiful cry, the remaining arm of the one-ard Grandmaster shattered.
Moreover, Loong Chen’s grip tightened around his neck.
“My patience wears thin. You have three seconds. Release her and depart.”
Loong Chen’s countenance remained composed, but the expressions of the other Grandmasters, including the buzz-cut one, darkened.
Loong Chen’s velocity proved too swift, leaving them no ti to counter before their comrades were subdued.
If this youth intended their demise, they wouldn’t stand a chance at resistance.
