Chapter 449
Lawrence stayed quiet for a moment. The celebration continued around them, but he barely seemed to hear it. He stared into his cup before finally speaking. "I wasn't forced into the experiment." Michael listened without interrupting. "I signed up because I thought everything else was boring." Lawrence gave a humorless laugh, "Life didn't excite me anymore and I didn't have a family waiting for me at home. No parents, no brothers, no sisters… Nobody who'd cry if something happened to me." He leaned back in his chair. "So when they announced the super soldier program, I volunteered almost immediately. I thought it'd give my life some purpose. I thought it'd make me stronger… Mentally." His smile disappeared, "But then I met the others." Lawrence looked toward the fire burning in the middle of the gathering. "Some of them had wives, some had children, others had parents begging them not to do it. I watched them struggle with the decision every single day." He sighed deeply. "They
Chapter 448
Everyone slowly came out of their hiding spots after the deafening blast faded. For a few moments, nobody spoke. They simply looked around the dark clearing, trying to understand what had just happened. "What happened?" One of the soldiers asked as he lowered his weapon. "I heard a loud sound..." Another muttered while scanning the forest. Their eyes soon landed on Michael and Mira lying motionless on the ground. Several doctors and soldiers rushed toward them immediately. Ian reached them first and looked over the twins before turning to Lawrence, who was still catching his breath nearby. "What happened?" Lawrence wiped the sweat from his forehead before answering. "Their last move drained them completely, they poured everything they had into that attack." He looked at the unconscious twins with quiet respect, "They'll wake up when they gather enough energy. Just make sure they're comfortable." Ian nodded, "You heard him." The nearby soldiers responded at once. "Yes, sir." T
Chapter 447
Barry skipped over in excitement. He greeted Monica warmly before leaning closer to the two-month-old baby in her arms. "Hi, Xavi... Haven't seen you in a while." Monica smiled softly and adjusted the blanket wrapped around her son. "Sorry about that. I didn't mean to stay in Snow City longer than intended. Part of me was still wishing that... Adrian would pop up." Barry's expression softened immediately as the memories of DC Factory came rushing back. Adrian insisting that he escape with the totems, and staying behind while he got away. His shoulders slowly dropped as the familiar guilt settled over him once again. "I see..." He said quietly and looked back at Monica and forced a small smile. "How long will you be in Sunset?" She looked down at Xavier before answering. "However long I feel like. And besides..." Her smile turned bittersweet, "Richard is buried here. I want Xavi to be a little closer to him at least." Barry nodded. "You're more than welcome to stay here." Monica
Chapter 446
The underground gambling center was unusually quiet when Barry and Jace arrived. The building looked like an ordinary warehouse from the outside, with faded paint, shuttered windows, and a rusty metal sign that gave no hint of what was hidden beneath it. That was exactly why they had come in the morning. Most of the customers were gone, leaving only the staff, security, and the people running the operation. Barry adjusted the cuffs of his suit before stepping through the entrance. His upgraded eye scanned the room immediately, marking hidden cameras, armed guards, and every possible exit. Jace walked beside him with both hands in his pockets, though the mechanical arm under his sleeve was ready to strike at any moment. A large security guard blocked their path. "Private property." He said coldly, "Turn around." Barry smiled politely. "We're here to ask a few questions." "We're not interested." "I'm afraid that wasn't a request." The guard reached for Barry's collar. Before hi
Chapter 445
The twins attacked at the same time with Lawrence. The three of them moved almost as one, giving the two remaining ferals no chance to regroup. The creatures growled and backed away, but they quickly realized there was nowhere left to run. The thick forest surrounded them on every side, and the people standing before them had already learned how they fought. One feral charged Michael first. It swung both arms wildly, hoping to overpower him through brute force. Michael stepped into the attack instead of retreating. He caught both fists and swung with a great amount of strength, sending it to stumble sideways, but it recovered almost instantly. The second feral rushed Mira. She vanished just before its claws reached her, it looked around in confusion until she reappeared behind it with a spinning kick that struck the back of its knees. The creature dropped to one leg. Before it could stand again, she fired a crimson blast into its shoulder and knocked it several meters through the
Chapter 444
"That's one less feral to worry about." Michael pulled the spear free from the creature's throat, stabbed it into the soil beside him, and calmly rolled up his sleeves. "Impressive throw." Mira said with a grin as she nudged the stiff feral with the tip of her boot. "I can't wait to finally be done with these poisonous bastards." Lawrence shifted awkwardly beside them. His eyes lowered to the ground, and he quietly looked away. Even after months of rehabilitation, hearing ferals insulted still made him uncomfortable… He had once been exactly like them. Michael noticed the reaction but chose not to comment. Instead, he looked at Mira. "Enough. Onto the next." He picked up the spear, turned, and continued walking through the mist. Lawrence silently followed close behind. Before Mira could even take one step after them, something burst out of the thick fog and slammed into her side. She barely had time to react before the feral tackled her to the ground. They rolled violently acro
