“Because I am confident I can bring this project under control.”“And more importantly, I had no real choice but to accept it. Taking it on is the optimal solution to resolving everything.”“As for the deeper reasons behind that… I’ll tell you when the time is right.”Joseph did not elaborate further.“Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t try to dissuade you,” Fiona said with a quiet sigh.“I only want to remind you to be careful.”“A project this disruptive will attract attention from all over the world—especially from those with ulterior motives.”“I know.”“Truth be told, I may be the only one willing to shoulder it.”“To take it on is to stand at the very center of the storm.”Joseph smiled lightly.“That’s true.”“But a decision like this isn’t one you’d make lightly.”“I won’t say more. If you need anything, just ask.”Fiona nodded.“How is the new drug progressing? Have the suggestions I made last time been implemented?”Joseph shifted the subject.“The rollout is going exce

“Joseph, that move of yours is brilliant,” Blake Morgan exclaimed the moment he grasped the plan.“Even in the publicly released version, I can openly acknowledge significant flaws—and deliberately leave them in.”“With their ambition, even if I warn them of obvious defects, they will press forward regardless.”“And if they hesitate, suspecting we’ve concealed something, they will exhaust every means to obtain the version we’ve hidden.”“And the version I keep in reserve will be an even greater surprise.”Joseph’s gaze sharpened.“This is an open strategy,” Alice murmured, fully understanding now. “No matter what they choose, as long as they harbor ulterior motives, they will fall into the trap.”“You could say that.”“You cannot reason with such people. They will neither listen nor retreat willingly.”“But once they pay a price—perhaps even with their lives—once the pain is undeniable, they will learn caution.”A cold smile touched his lips.“Excellent. Truly excellent.”“We cannot r

“Of course we should remain cautious. Confidentiality is absolutely vital to our plans.”“If anything leaks, all our efforts will come to nothing.”Alice replied.“At present, we’ll need some time to observe them before we can be certain they pose no risk.”“Even if they were students of Professors Garcia and Gonzalez, it makes no difference.”“The world is full of unforeseen turns—one must always think a step further.”Joseph nodded slightly.“Professor Wilson, the way you handle things—it doesn’t feel like you’re in your twenties at all.”“Most people your age are still painfully naive, but you… you seem more like a wily old fox.”Mason Alvarez said, puzzled.“Do I?”“Perhaps I just think a little more than others.”Joseph chuckled.“It’s not that simple.”Mason Alvarez rolled her eyes.Joseph offered no further explanation.Some things in this world simply defy explanation.The way a person navigates life is shaped by their experiences and the environment in which they were raised.

“The situation on the Cooper family’s side shouldn’t be too bad. We’ve been assisting them with marketing and promotion.”“But I haven’t been too involved in the specifics of our collaboration.”“The first drug they’ve launched targets menstrual pain in women—its market potential is enormous.”Blake Morgan replied.“Let’s hope so.”Joseph nodded.“We can coordinate with the Cooper family and assess the revenue generated by the new drugs this month. Once we reach a certain scale, I’d like to establish a jointly funded company.”“You would serve as its legal representative. On one hand, you could independently develop your own new drugs; on the other, you could help coordinate cooperation between the Morgan Group and the Cooper family.”“This new company would give you a platform to build your own financial base, while also serving as a bridge for our collaboration.”“Previously, both Alice’s father and the Cooper family had expressed interest in such an arrangement. Once the first batc

“You’ll understand when I arrive.”Joseph said no more.“Alright. I’ll be at headquarters all day tomorrow—just let me know when you get here.”Since Joseph chose not to elaborate, Neil Foster didn’t press further.“Okay.”Joseph responded. After exchanging farewells, they ended the call.With those matters settled, Joseph finally lay down on his bed.Over the past ten days, he had spent most of his time in the laboratory, and the mental strain had left him somewhat fatigued.Before long, he drifted into a deep, dreamless sleep.Following Joseph’s instructions, the final portion of the original Superhuman Project was released in full.As expected, its publication stirred considerable commotion.However, such advanced material was far beyond the grasp of the general public—they could only watch the spectacle without truly understanding it.Those who did understand, however, remained silent, seeking either to profit from it or to help others do the same.Meanwhile, at the headquarters o
