CHAPTER 328
Sarah lay unconscious on the floor, her body limp and cold.Elena was writhing, her breath hitching.Gerald’s skin had gone gray, his lips almost blue.Sophia was barely breathing, a faint whistle coming from her chest each time her lungs shuddered.Adrian dropped to his knees beside her.Her eyelashes quivered, and she whispered through trembling lips.“Ad…rian…”He pressed his forehead to hers.“I’m here,” he said softly. “I’m right here.”Her cold fingers brushed against his wrist. Then they fell.Adrian looked down at her arm.Her veins were branching across her skin like black lightning.They were dying.All of them.And he had no cure.Adrian's face hardened drew a sterile needle from his coat, found Sophia’s vein, and drew blood. The contaminated blood swirled into the glass vial like ink in water.Adrian stared at it.This… this thing Lucien put in her… it wasn’t a poison.It was torture disguised as science.Adrian slowly rose to his feet.His energy shifted—no longer bright,
CHAPTER 327
Lucien’s words were like poidonAdrian’s fingers tightened around his throat, the pressure enough to crush bone... Yet Lucien only smiled wider, enjoying every second of Adrian’s rage.Adrian hissed through clenched teeth, “Over my dead body.”Luciem let out a vicious laugh. “There it is,” he whispered. “The answer I expected from you.”Then his smile sharpened.“But you forget something, Adrian.”He tapped Adrian’s wrist with two fingers, calm despite being pinned to the wall.“The virus… cannot be cured with modern science.”Adrian’s eyes darkened.Lucien continued, savoring every word.“The only other cure aside from the antidote in my vault… is the Dragon Root.”Adrian didn’t move.Lucien leaned closer, voice dropping to a cruel whisper.“A mystical herb possessed only by the Dragon Clan.”Adrian’s jaw tightened but he stayed silent.Lucien chuckled. “But we both know the Dragon Clan went extinct centuries ago,” he said softly. “So your options are very simple.”He raised one fing

Adrian froze.His palms hovered above her, trembling.The energy he’d pushed into her…The virus was consuming it.Feeding on it and growing stronger.“No…” Adrian whispered. “No, no, no…”Sophia convulsed again, screaming as her body fought against something unseen and monstrous.Adrian tried to steady her shoulders, but she writhed uncontrollably.Gerald forced himself upright. “Adrian... what’s happening to my daughter?!”Adrian’s voice dropped to a whisper he could barely speak.“This virus… it adapts.”He touched the dark veins on Sophia’s arm.His hand shook.“This is Chimera-X,” he said finally.The doctor stiffened. “That’s impossible… Chimera-X is a myth...”“It’s real,” Adrian said, his voice breaking. “And Lucien used it on them.”He stood slowly, as if rising under a mountain of rage.His face had changed.The doctor swallowed hard. “How long do they have?”The moment stretched.Adrian looked at Sophia's trembling body.At the blackened veins creeping toward her heart.The
CHAPTER 325
Adrian had already hung up.Ten minutes later, the Aldridge mansion’s doors burst open.Adrian stormed inside, his coat swinging as he moved faster than the guards could react.“Where are they?” he demanded.“Sir... inside... this way—!” the guard stammered.He had been warned never to allow Adrian near the mansion, but the Aldridge family was dying.Adrian shoved past him.When he reached the living room, his breath caught in his throat.Sophia lay on the floor, shaking and gasping, tears streaking down her cheeks.Elena was curled beside her, vomiting... And her vomit has blood in it.Sarah lay half-conscious, breathing in short, choked wheezes.Gerald slumped on the couch, clutching his chest, his skin turning dangerously pale.The family doctor was kneeling beside them, completely filled with panic.He flipped through medical equipment.“ I-I don’t know what’s happening!” the doctor cried. “Their vitals are crashing, but I... I can’t diagnose it! I’ve never seen anything like this
CHAPTER 324
Lucien was standing alone.He was breathing fast and Zane could smell the fear in him.He stepped back once… twice…Then he snapped. “This isn’t over,” he spat. “Adrian’s meddling will cost him everything.”He snapped his fingers behind him.“Guards... delay him!”Dozens of Guild guards charged forward.Zane inhaled deeply and then slammed his foot into the ground.A wave of kinetic force burst outward like a shockwave, sweeping every guard off their feet. They flew backward, crashing into walls, tables, and crates.Lucien was already running.Outside, the roar of helicopter blades cut through the air.Zane stepped toward the exit but stopped.His lip curled in disgust as he watched Lucien’s helicopter lift off, rising into the morning sky.“Coward,” he muttered.He turned back to the Aldridge family who were his primary assignment.Sophia’s chest shook as she breathed. Elena was crying softly and Sarah trembled in her chair. Zane walked toward them and began tearing through the res
CHAPTER 323
The needle plunged into his arm.Within seconds, Gerald’s muscles twisted violently. His back arched against the chair as spasms ripped through him.“DAD!” Elena screamed. “STOP! YOU’RE KILLING HIM!”Gerald’s face contorted in agony as he bit back a scream, sweat pouring down his skin.Sophia’s tears flooded down her cheeks.Her voice cracked like glass.“STOP IT! PLEASE! LUCIEN PLEASE!”Lucien leaned close to her ear.“Beg,” he whispered. “Beg properly.”Sophia broke.“Fine!” she cried. “I’ll sign! I’ll sign—just stop hurting them!”Elena sobbed, and Sarah whimpered as they looked at their father, who was convulsing.Lucien smiled and held out the contract.One of his men placed a pen in Sophia’s trembling hand.She gripped it weakly, her entire body shaking.Her hand lowered toward the paper.As the pen was about to touch the paper, a sudden, unnatural wind roared through the warehouse.The flames in the lamps flickered violently and then died.Every light went out at once.Darkness
