Free Web NovelChapter 824: Chapter 658: Found the Crystal Core!
Ever since that incident, Shou He completely gave up on Shou Jin, placing all his hopes on the clone, wanting a more obedient son.
Unfortunately, all previous clones had failed, so Shou He had no choice but to lock Shou Jin in the Death Abyss, keeping him alive for now.
Now, Shou He finally obtained a successful experimental subject, rendering the existence of Shou Jin unnecessary.
Shou He even planned that as soon as the lab delivered the clone, he would personally dispose of Shou Jin, allowing the clone to permanently replace him without anyone knowing.
But unexpectedly, Shou Jin escaped from the Death Abyss first, and the progress on the lab’s side was not going smoothly either,
although they had successfully obtained the Crystal Core, crafting another physical body required more time.
During the waiting period, the Crystal Core was actually stolen once, and even though it was found later, it appeared that a small part of it was missing, rendering it incomplete.
To this day, the missing part has still not been found, forcing the experiment to halt without any progress.
At this moment, Shou He suddenly recalled something. Just recently, after the Crystal Core was stolen, when he saw Shou Jin again, this boy, who should have lost control and become a Mad Beast, suddenly had a much more stable energy.
Could it be...
Shou He’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, questioning Shen Tang about what was going on.
Shen Tang initially stammered, trying to feign ignorance, but succumbing to his threats, she fearfully told the truth, "I-I’m not sure myself... After being hunted by the Family Head last time, he came back saying he met a mysterious man... I don’t know who that person is, but the mysterious man seemed to have given him something, after which his superpower stabilized a lot..."
Shou He fell into deep thought, initially suspecting that the boy stole the Crystal Core, but considering that Shou Jin shouldn’t possess such capability, and moreover, lacking rationality in his uncontrolled state, making it even more impossible.
But who exactly is this mysterious person?
To be able to bypass the multiple safeguards of the lab and steal a part of the Crystal Core is truly formidable.
Could there be a traitor inside the lab?
Shou He’s gaze grew increasingly dangerous. However, the most important thing right now is to find Shou Jin first.
Since he has already fused a small part of the Crystal Core’s power, it actually makes things easier. There’s no need to go through the trouble of finding the stolen Crystal Core; just bringing him back will suffice.
Shou Jin glared at Shen Tang with hatred, cursing angrily, "I trusted you with something so important, and you actually dared to betray me, to trample on my true feelings! You truly deserve to die!"
Shou He chuckled lightly, "Jin’er, the companion you’ve chosen recognizes the times better than you. I’m very satisfied with this daughter-in-law."
Jin stared at him intently, his gaze sharp enough to slice him to pieces.
This gaze instantly reminded Shou He of the moment he brushed past death that day, causing his expression to turn grim, but he quickly suppressed the murderous intent.
Shou He raised one hand behind his back, letting out a low chuckle from his throat, sighing with deep pity, "Jin’er, you still don’t understand your father’s good intentions. All these years, I’ve been trying to cure your illness and was close to success. But unfortunately... you hate me too much. I can’t let you stay any longer." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Jin seemed to want to resist, but his body quickly went limp. He recalled the peculiar scent he seemed to notice on Shen Tang earlier.
And Shen Tang was hiding behind Shou He, looking at him with a guilty conscience.
Jin instantly understood, his expression turning even more unpleasant, lacking even the strength to speak, "You... you actually dared to drug me..."
Shou He must have given her something in advance that allowed her to deprive him of his superpower in such a short time!
Shou He glanced at Shen Tang with satisfaction; she had handled it well this time. Then he took out a syringe and walked over to inject Jin.
Jin’s vision went black, instantly collapsing to the ground, losing consciousness.
Shou He immediately called for his confidants to carry Shou Jin back to the Royal City.
A confidant Beastman asked, "Family Head, should we head directly to the Prince Mansion, or somewhere else?"
Shou He squinted his eyes, coldly saying, "Take him directly to the lab."
The father and son had long since become bitter enemies; Shou He could no longer keep him around.
He must quickly cultivate a replacement; as long as he fully extracts Shou Jin’s Crystal Core and integrates it with the one in the lab, he can create a perfect Crystal Core, producing a clone superior to the original!
Shen Tang looked at the unconscious male, a flicker of dimness and guilt flashing in her eyes, but it quickly vanished.
She eagerly asked Shou He, "Family Head, does this mean my Beast Husband can be revived?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
Shou He had no intention of reviving her Beast Husband. If an experimental subject has too much emotion and memory, it would be hard to control.
