Chapter 691
Benjamin read the files and immediately understood the diabolical ways in which Norman had massacred so many people within the prime estate that awful day.He had learned their weaknesses, biologically and strategically. Through his endless trials and errors, Norman Sullivan had come to understand the biological structure of everyone, mostly humans, but more specifically, the members of the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate's barracks. The Whiteridge soldiers have always been Norman's primary source of inspiration, as all the endless experiments he conducted for years were aimed at further enhancing the genetic alterations of the Whiteridge soldiers, thereby increasing the family's core support in terms of both quantity and quality. After all, the desire was to dominate the entire globe, and that needed to start by dominating the superhuman production market, according to Norman.Hunter sighed, massaging his temple as this entire history narration was causing him a headache.“Norman

Since the Wood family's rebellion was something that began due to the horrible treatment they received at the hands of the elders at the time, and that entire incident was related to the existence and acknowledgement of Norman Sullivan, the truth about the rebellion of the Wood family could not be revealed.April shook her head.“It is understandable that the Wood family got what they deserved. Not the part where they never got the compensation they demanded for. That part was horrible. But rebelling and taking actions to usurp the Whiteridge family's notable members was definitely a choice that required meticulous planning. As soldiers made powerful and extraordinary, they have sworn to submit their lives in absolute loyalty to us. The fact that they developed the desire to wipe out the important members of their master family, shows that they've been a threat to the system.”She nodded her head firmly.“They deserved what they got. But…..”Seeing his girlfriend turn to him, Benjami

Now that the conversation around Norman Sullivan was done with, Hunter cleared his throat, his demeanor showing that he was setting a serious mood.“Now, would you like to know about your parents, my boy?”The mood definitely followed Hunter's setting and Benjamin sat with a slightly hunched posture.“My parents. Grandpa, how long have you known about the death of my parents?”Hunter shared a look with Herbert McKlin before answering with an awkward expression.“I….I've known the truth about the death of my son and daughter-in-law for a few years, before I reached out to you.”Benjamin stared at his grandfather in utter silence that was heavy with tension.“You knew that my parents were murdered all these years, and you never mentioned it to me. Grandpa, what if we never discovered the things we know now? Would you have ever told me the truth?”Hunter sighed, bringing a hand to his temple.“First of all, my boy, I would like to apologize to you. Benjamin, I'm sorry that I kept the tr
Chapter 694
Hearing those words, Benjamin had to calm down.“Then why don't you explain things to me clearly, Prime Butler McKlin. Clearly, you know him more than I do.”Herbert could hear the sarcasm in Benjamin's voice but he ignored it, nodding his head firmly.“Great Master Hunter was conflicted, more so than you can only ever imagine until the day you become a parent yourself. There are some decisions that would leave a caring parent crippled morally, no matter how much they've always adhered to the rules and regulations they enforce themselves.”Herbert stood with his hands behind his back.“Haven't you noticed the pattern between mother and son yet, Sir?”That question seemed to jolt Benjamin out of his thoughts. He realized that Prime Butler Herbert McKlin was referring to both Hunter and his mother. Two generations of supreme leaders had ended up making the same lapse in judgment due to the same circumstances, rolled out in different identities.The matriarch at the time found it very h

General Titus wanted to immediately scold Benjamin, even though he is the heir apparent of the Whiteridge family. To him, the patriarch's well-being will always come before the recognition of any power.But then, he held back his tongue as a realization crossed his mind. He spoke with a dark but calm tone, eyes sharply reading the young man.“You're usually very aware of yourself and your surroundings, Master Benjamin. What caused you to lose control to such an extent that you didn't even realize that your grandfather was being affected?”Prime Butler Herbert McKlin was the one to reply calmly.“Lewis, he knows the truth about the deaths of Master Dallas and Madam Caroline.”General Titus's back stiffened when he heard those words and he whipped his head to face Herbert with a horrified expression before turning back to face Benjamin.“Oh.”There was nothing to say at that point, and it made Benjamin’s heart shudder in coldness.Once the doctors were done, they confirmed that the pat

General Lewis Titus caught him off guard as he retorted through sobs.“Shut up, Herbert! I'm not a fucking weakling! And fuck whoever sees me crying! I'd like to see who dares make fun of me to my face!”After those words, he slowly brought Herbert back down to his feet.Herbert maintained that smile as he reached out to wipe away General Lewis's tears.“Sure, whatever you say. I'm sorry, Lewis. The patriarch and I couldn't bear forcing you to follow us into death, not when it can be avoided. Plus, if all three of us left this world, who would be left behind to help the heir apparent transition smoothly into his role as the new patriarch, huh?”General Lewis Titus chuckled as he lowered his head, allowing Herbert to wipe away the tears without the slightest hesitation. “It definitely can't be those elders. We already know that half of fucking council has a one-sided beef with Master Benjamin. As for the other half, we definitely can't fully trust them. Otherwise, the prime estate wo

“Oh, you can make a joke of your situation so soon. How dare you just sit back there and let me poison you as some sort of twisted self-punishment? How am I even supposed to go in and take over knowing that I had practically murdered my own grandfather?!”Benjamin didn't hold back in scolding his grandfather as he held the old man's hand tightly, but hit him with his human strength. His other hand balled into a fist and placed on Hunter's chest, along with Benjamin's head as he cried heavily.“What if those antagonizing elders find out that I was somehow responsible for your death, huh?! I would have been charged with murder! They wouldn't have hesitated in tagging me as a usurper who needs to be locked away forever! Then what would have been the gain of passively watching your own grandson take your life, huh?”“Jeez! You're so cruel, Grandpa! Don't you ever repeat what happened today! How would I even begin to explain your death to my grandma, huh?!”Hunter had tears falling down th

“First of all, we need to be able to counter the hybrids that Granduncle Norman had created. He has thousands of them, with each one possessing more power than two Whiteridge soldiers. Even if we mobilize all the forces of the Whiteridge soldiers, moving them back to the prime estate temporarily, I doubt that overwhelming them with numbers on our side would work.” April nodded her head. “Yeah, me too. There are those two generals. Light-General Mikhail and Dark-General Gigi. The power of light and shadow. Those things are archaic, and we've selected Jason and Anthony as the best candidates to wield the powers to fight them.” Benjamin nodded his head. “And that's why neither of them is here. They are currently undergoing genetic upgrading with the aid of the knowledge I've provided CEO Johnny Biggs.” Benjamin gazed up at both General Lewis Titus and Prime Butler Herbert McKlin. “I'm sorry, but it seems like things would be a bit different from now. The next generation of leading s

April hummed as she thought of the past but didn't let it get to her. “It gets easier to deal with over time. But rest assured, it won't be that bad for Jason and Anthony. Even though we can't predict the power they would possess, I came up with a way of ‘guiding’ the genetic alterations into an opposing affinity to the powers of those two generals of the supreme master. How that would manifest, though, only time would reveal.” General Lewis moved the conversation forward. “And what about the rest of the Whiteridge soldiers? How would they be made useful in the upcoming war against this old enemy of the family?” Benjamin commanded his AI assistant, Andy to show everyone in the room what he had in store. Within the heir apparent's phone, the holographic adult bald man showed up, larger than ever. He bowed towards Benjamin. “Understood, Master.” He disappeared, and in his place is the screen that showcases a presentation as Benjamin spoke. “With the Whiteridge soldiers, their u

Hunter chuckled, looking the least unbothered by this revelation.“It seems this upgrade in the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate's system is truly meant for the next generation of rulers to come. Well done, my boy. You've done really well. Tell me, what is needed to kick these genetic alterations into gear?”Benjamin replied to his old man.“You're signed permission to these going experiments. From Mr. Biggs’ prediction, everything should be ready in a month.”Herbert chimed in.“How long do we have before we're ready to face the enemy? How prepared are they to clash with us?”Hunter shook his head as he stared off into the space of nothingness in reply to those questions.“It will be a while before my plan makes a move. He has always been a very cautious person, despite his interest, pride, and arrogance. With Benjamin and April having infiltrated his lair, and learned so much of his secret, he would definitely be taking his time to change some of the war tactics he would be using.”
