Luca raised his eyebrows in disbelief at Genoven's words, but the old man only smiled broadly.
“Yes, you heard me correctly. Astrid herself wants to marry you immediately, and in return, we will control the seas because Lagos has entrusted all their power to us. Astrid even wants to make you the heir to the Lagos throne in case you don't win the Kane throne, but if you do, you will have both thrones.”
“Yes, Luca. Your father

Luca, Ava, and Simon walked down the underground corridor and everyone except Simon, who was already wearing a mask, instinctively covered their noses against the foul stench.The hallway reeked of garbage and waste and seeing the women there clutching their stomachs yet appearing strangely relaxed, Luca realized this wasn't the work of the Mantis's virus, but Ava's doing."How many women did you inject? I told you to only target the ones sleeping near the Mantis's cell," Luca said, while Ava looked away."Well, I tried, but others asked for the shot after I treated those women. I couldn't say no, plus, I had plenty of doses, about fifteen, if I recall correctly," Ava said, making Luca’s eyes widen."Fifteen people? Are you crazy? Five would have been enough!" Luca said. "Now we just have to wait for someone to accuse us because they definitely will. They know I was making diarrhea medicine while everyone else was busy brewing deadly poisons, so you’d better get ready.""I'm sorry. I

“What? She’s come back to life?” Luca raised an eyebrow.“Yes! And that’s the main reason I came looking for you right away! You’re the smartest one here and know all about weird stuff. Come with me before she claims another victim! We can’t afford to lose any more lives,” Simon said, then hurried back toward the hall.Luca nodded at Ava before running after Simon, wondering when this trivial mess would finally end.Upon returning to the praying mantis girl’s cell, Luca and Ava saw the creature standing up and devouring the corpses.The number of victims was far greater than before and Ava nearly retched beside Luca, her face twisted in sheer disgust.“See? She’s back to life and I’m certain there weren't this many bodies before,” Simon said, wrinkling his nose at the new victims. “She must have preyed on some of the workers and scientists who were examining her. I recall I wasn't the only one who saw her come back to life.”“In that case, let’s kill her immediately,” Luca said. “Did

“What the hell...” Luca muttered in disbelief as the worker suddenly lunged at the girl and began having sex with her.They were doing it as if by mutual consent and the scene reminded Luca of an adult movie.“That’s my creation: a drug that triggers a lethal lust,” the fat scientist said proudly, greeted by applause from his colleagues. “I used a praying mantis as a reference and spliced its DNA into the drug to mutate the girl. That way, the drug’s effects are unstoppable, and there’s no sign of coercion in this deadly sexual act.”“Wait, but if you’re doing genetic mutation, doesn’t that mean she’ll kill like a praying mantis? Like, her hands turning into claws?” one scientist asked, raising his hand. “So, she’s not human anymore? She’s half animal?”“What? Nonsense! How could a human suddenly mutate into an animal?” the fat scienti

“Hey, Luca. I think I found something,” Ava said, stepping up to Luca before glancing at Clarke. “But I think we’d better talk about it outside as there’s this creepy guy who keeps trying to talk to me. I don’t know him well, but he seems suspicious.”“Yeah, I agree. Let’s find somewhere else to talk,” Luca replied. “You go out first, and I’ll follow. I’ll make sure no one’s tailing us, and I’ll keep an eye out to ensure no one intercepts you out front.”Luca and Ava then left the laboratory. Before closing the door, Luca noticed Clarke still staring intently at him and the brown haired man didn’t like the look in his eyes.In a corner of the lab corridor, an area Luca had checked and found free of surveillance cameras, Ava pulled a tool from her pocket. Luca frowned at the object’s odd shape as it looked like a screwdriver.“I think this is t

“But don’t worry because that actually isn’t the main reason I came here. As you can see, I’ve decided to move up the timeline as we’re going to accelerate our plans to take out Father and Damon,” Maekar said. “To do this, we obviously need you, you’re the star of the show. The plan to eliminate Father won’t work without you.”“Louie is here too, but he’s standing guard outside with a shotgun and his menm just in case you refuse this plan, Luca. Remember: we can reset your life whenever we want, and you’ll be trapped in that cycle forever. That’s all I wanted to say and I hope you’ll get moving on this deal soon, yeah?” Maekar added, patting Luca on the head and laughing before walking out.Luca groaned in frustration, then slammed the door shut and locked it. He hated the fact that he had no other choice. The brown haired man sat on his bed, staring at the sheet covered figure beside him, when suddenly, a crazy idea struck him, a way out that might just save his life.***Luca had re

“What? Has she lost her mind? Who does she think we are? School kids whose teams can be shuffled around at a whim?” Simon snorted in annoyance, and the entire laboratory instantly erupted in grumbling.They had voiced their objections after Salami laid out her idea, yet the middle aged professor showed no signs of backing down. Luca was beginning to understand why she had been chosen as the lead scientist.“That’s all for today. Since your teams are being reorganized, it means you’ll be leaving your current projects to move on to the next ones,” Salami said, just before a beaker came flying toward her head. She glared at the culprit, who had apparently already fled. “And if this approach works, we’ll be reshuffling every month from now on. But that’s just a plan for the future, so for now, keep up the good work. Announcements regarding your new groups have been posted on the board near the lab entrance,” Salami concluded, before walking over to the factory security guard standing in t
