Free Web NovelChapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Choose Death or Choose Life?
His lips formed a sinister and cold curve as he approached the man, "You’ve really been getting more and more disobedient lately. The substance I injected you with last time didn’t teach you a lesson? This time, let’s try something new... What do you say?"
The man trembled.
Alaric Wood looked at Dr. Xiao, "Do you still need this person?"
Dr. Xiao waved her hand dismissively, "You can have him."
Alaric Wood dragged the trembling man into a room.
Dr. Xiao looked at Aurelia Shaw, her gaze profound.
Aurelia Shaw saw a trace of... hostility? A woman’s hostility towards another woman in her eyes.
Huh, interesting.
"Dr. Xiao, is there anything else you need me to do?" Aurelia Shaw asked, her head lowered, as if she was a newcomer to her job, feeling a bit uneasy. Her fingers clenched tightly around the notebook in her arms, cautiously avoiding Dr. Xiao’s gaze.
Dr. Xiao gave Aurelia Shaw a cold glance and replied indifferently, "There’s nothing more for you to do, you can leave now."
"Yes."
Aurelia Shaw could pretty much guess what this old woman was thinking.
She had interacted with Mason Nightshade, who might appear to Dr. Xiao as her... prey?
Seeing her prey being coveted by another woman and feeling displeased is understandable.
Aurelia Shaw left the laboratory and went straight to the resting room; the person she had knocked out earlier was still on the floor. She exhaled a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this was a single-person resting room, so no one else would enter. Otherwise, the body lying here for so long would undoubtedly be discovered.
She hadn’t planned how to deal with this person.
Initially, her plan was to find Mason Nightshade and escape directly.
But now the plan had changed, so she needed to figure out how to handle this person.
Aurelia Shaw glanced around and picked up the water on the table, splashing it to wake the man.
His eyes opened, and upon seeing Aurelia Shaw, he nearly screamed. But the blade pressed against his neck forced the scream back down his throat.
The man trembled as he looked at Aurelia Shaw, "W-What do you want?"
"Same as before, if you want to live, behave." Aurelia Shaw sneered, raising the rope to tie the man’s hands, then casually found a cloth to gag him.
"Let’s go." Aurelia Shaw pulled the man along while warning him, "If you dare utter even a single unnecessary word, I’ll cut your head off first. Choose whether you want to live or die, it’s up to you."
The man intuitively knew she wasn’t threatening idly.
He nodded vigorously.
Live, he chose to live.
Aurelia Shaw tugged the man out, heading toward where he stayed. Someone asked her who the man was on the way, and Aurelia Shaw simply replied that he was a new experiment subject for Dr. Xiao. No one doubted her, since they were accustomed to "guinea pigs" being brought here for experiments.
...
After Aurelia Shaw had just arranged the real "Emily Evans," someone knocked on the door.
She opened it to find Alaric Wood standing outside.
This man again; what exactly does he want?
Aurelia Shaw asked nervously, "Alaric, Alaric, what can I do for you?"
"I need your help with something." Alaric Wood’s mouth curved up, his dark red eyes flashed with a wicked glint that could be mistaken for a murderous intention swirling within, amplified by his naturally chilling demeanor.
Aurelia Shaw followed behind Alaric Wood, wondering what he needed help with.
She didn’t like this man at all.
He pushed open a door, his mouth curving into a smile, revealing a small tiger tooth, though it was anything but cute.
He glanced subtly in one direction.
