As the guards swarmed on her, Sheryl asked, “Is Minerva here?”“A dying person doesn’t need to know,” Gray was walking away. “I’m going to start experimenting on Golden Falcon. His genes will help boost our speed, I’m sure.”The guards shot laser bullets at Sheryl.She created wooden armor around herself, but the laser bullets were able to pierce her armor without a problem.On top of that, the aura dispersing nets deteriorated the quality fast, and this didn’t help Sheryl, either.Nevertheless, she used all her energy to burst at once in the form of wooden spikes, which slipped through the gaps in the nets and killed the guards that were all around her.All of them were severely injured, but none of them were dead as they were all augmented humans capable of surviving even with some of the vital organs gravely damaged.Gray turned around and was shocked to see Sheryl freeing herself from the nets.She didn’t break the nets as they were highly sturdy yet flexible. She was able to use t

From laser guns to ADE nets, Borg was able to control all of the electronic gadgets in the room.The only exception was the mobile in Sheryl’s pocket not because of Rose but because of Sheryl’s aura.“I can deal with the laser bullets, but is there any way for you to control those nets, Rose?” she queried under her breath.“No, they are not just simple electronic gadgets, and he’s securing them with nanobots,” Rose replied. “I can’t control those bots as they only receive signals from only trusted sources. Maybe, if we disguise ourselves well enough, we might succeed, but it’ll take time to crack their code.”“How much time?”“Indefinite. It could take hours or days.”“That’s not helping.” Sheryl created a bough of branches to push back all the ADE nets, but the laser bullets still destroyed her branches.She didn’t use aura in order to conserve her strength.Contrary to her approach, Borg let loose his skills.He started off with the 108 combat styles, which focused on the rabid move

In Hawk Park.Philip was talking with someone through a holographic image. “I recently read a document. A man with twenty years of experience in the software field lost his job because the company thought that freshers would have better adaptive skills. Do you know what that employee who had many family commitments did after he lost his job at 48 years of age?”“Committed suicide out of shame, maybe?” the speaker on the other side, who was the prime minister of a country, said. “I mean, it’s embarrassing to take your resume and knock on companies’ doors when you’re in your thirties let alone in your late forties. Not everyone can ask their relatives or friends or acquaintances to refer them, either. So, leaving the world quietly seems like the easiest option.”“He didn’t commit suicide but started earning lower income in a different stream altogether,” Philip said, “and he’s the owner of his own small business now.”“How did he establish a business when he had many pending commitment

A couple of minutes earlier.On the top floor of the facility built inside the giant turtle.Golden Falcon opened his eyes, only to find himself strapped to some metal bench. His body was pierced with metallic instruments, so even moving a millimeter hurt quite a bit.He tried to use aura, but his energy was sucked away pretty fast.“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” Gray warned him as she operated the systems required to suck his spinal fluids.“Y-You are…” he looked around. “Where is this place? Where did you bring me? Where is Borg?”She pressed a button, and he was electrocuted.“We’ve tried so many times to turn the Falcons into drug addicts, but because of your presence, we failed to bring Falcon Group under our control,” Gray’s voice was full of coldness and resentment.She upped the voltage and electrocuted him once more.He coughed out blood, and his eyes turned red.“But now, after your death, what do you think will happen to Falcon Group?” Gray grinned evilly. “They will b

Denver rushed over to check on Sheryl.She had a nasty wound on her gut. If not for her defending with aura, there’d have been a big hole in her abdomen now.Or, in the worst case, her body would have been separated into two halves at the abdomen.Denver took out a red pellet and put it in her mouth.He gently electrocuted her throat so that her muscles moved, and she ended up swallowing the pill even though she wasn’t conscious.“This should help speed up her recovery…” Denver thought.Three of her limbs seemed to be broken, and there were many other bruises and cuts on her body. He hadn’t seen her like this before.He removed his shirt and put it on top of her to cover her abdominal wound.Denver was still wearing a tanktop.“I-Is she okay?” Catherine nervously arrived there. She had seen blood before, but the way Sheryl crashed down from the ceiling shocked Catherine quite a bit.She still couldn’t take that picture out of her mind.“You stay here and guard her,” Denver said and lo
