Chapter 296
Meanwhile, due to Nicolas’s relentless efforts to stir public opinion, and with the support of the Anderson family, global condemnation of the laboratory grew louder. Even the corporations backing the laboratory started to buckle under the pressure. Many countries also joined the call for human rights, and after much deliberation, the corporations decided to abandon the lab.
“It’s over. We’re finished. The corporations have abandoned us. Once we’re caught, we’re facing a life sentence, one lab worker muttered.
“It doesn’t matter anymore. The experiment failed. We should just accept the consequences and face the law,” another said,
“How can you just give up like that? As long as we have the ‘transformers, we could still fight. Who knows, we might even come out on top in the end,” one scientist countered
“You’re still thinking about this? The emotional tests failed. How many of the ‘transformers‘ we released are still truly loyal to us?” another muttered.
Then what should we do? Just wait to die?”
Inside the Aroraka–Nowedon Laboratory, the scientists were embroiled in a heated argument.
As one of the lab’s leaders, the administrator approached Brandon, seeking advice on how to handle the situation
“Brandon, the corporations have abandoned us. Interpol is coming for us. What should we do now?”
Brandon, with a calm smile, replied nonchalantly, “What else can we do? If you don’t want to get caught, recall all the ‘transformers‘ and have them fight against Interpol. Then you’ll have a chance to escape.”
“But what’s the point of just escaping? The administrator was frustrated. “The lab’s confidential documents are too important. We can’t take them with us, but if we leave them behind, they’ll fall into the hands of others. Who knows if we’ll ever get them back?”
“Why should I care?” Brandon replied casually.
“What?” The administrator was taken aback.
Looking at the administrator, Brandon smirked and said. “There’s an old saying: Birds of a feather flock together, but when trouble strikes, they fly their separate ways. Even spouses do it. Why would I need to care about what happens to you?”
The administrator’s face turned pale.
“Are you..” He was in shock as he realized that Brandon had already prepared to leave, having dressed himself and ready to go.
Brandon, uninterested in talking further, directly addressed the administrator, “The lab is done for. If you want to run, do it quickly. If not, it’s up to you. As for me, I’m leaving”
With that, he brushed past the administrator.
The administrator’s face twisted in anger. “Leaving? This guy really plans on just walking away? What kind of commander is he
While the other lab leaders were frantically organizing an evacuation, Brandon had already become the hands–off commander, abandoning them all in their time of crisis. His actions sparked fury.
The administrator couldn’t hold back anymore. He rushed at Brandon, furious. “Brandon! As the commander, how can you just
abandon us now! You-
Before he could reach Brandon, however, Brandon swiftly turned and grabbed the administrator by the neck, pinning him against the
“Enough with the whining” Brandon said impatiently, though still smiling. “To be honest, I don’t care at all about what happens to the Lab. Whether it continues or falls apart, it’s irrelevant to me. If I’m in a good mood, fine. But if you get in my way, I don’t mind helping Interpol by taking you all out first”
The administrator, looking at the smiling young man, knew he was serious. If he continued to resist, Brandon would kill them all..
Brandon let him go, and the administrator collapsed to the ground, gasping.
Looking down at him, Brandon smiled and said, “Interpol should be here by around 9 PM. If you want to avoid capture, call back your ‘transformers Do as you wish.”
With that, he turned to leave.

Chapter 296
The administrator, still trembling, called out to him. “Wait”
Brandon poised, turning back with a menacing look in his eyes, “What? Looking for death?”
No The administrator shrank hack, then gathered the courage ask. When you leave, will you take Noelle with you?“
“Yes,” Brandon answertes without hesitation.
The administrator took a deep breath. Tve heard about your past. To gain power, you slaughtered your
rown prople. You could have risen higher in the ranks, but you ended up here at the Atoraka–Nowellon Laboratory. All of this was for Noelle, wasn’t it? From the beginning, it was always about her. You don’t care about the lal’s fate at all, do you?”
Brandon glanced at him, not denying it. That’s right. From the start, it’s always been about Noelle. Whether you live or die, whether the labs survives, it’s all irrelevant to me?
“Are you done now?” The administrator asked. “Goodbye.”
Brandon turned and walked out. The administrator collapsed in despair.
Was this karma?
cate the perfect human, they had crossed the line, performing forbidden experiments. In the end, they got nothing but failure. The “transformers” were completely uncontrollable. In fact, this whole crisis started because of Noelle.
He knew it was because of the young master of the Jenkins family, with the Anderson family’s help, that they stirred up the public opinion to threaten the lab, all to bring Noelle back.
Their In
life’s work had come back to haunt them.
Before Interpol arrived, Brandon left the laboratory with Noelle.
They headed straight to Reniam City–her home, the city where Nicolas and her family were.
Once they arrived, Noelle couldn’t hold back her confusion “Why are we back here!”
Brandon looked back at her and smiled. Don’t you like it here? After all, your family used to live here.”
Noelle bit her lip and, lowering her eyes, spoke the truth, “You brought me back here to conduct another memory–reading experiment, didn’t you?”
Brandon paused, then laughed. He ruffled Noelle’s hair. “Noelle, you’re so smart, figuring out my plan so quickly.”
Noelle’s mind wasn’t slow, but when it came to social mences, she was more adept at logical reasoning.
The last memory chip didn’t contain anything related to Brandon, so this time, planned to extract all of her memories, making it easier for him to “edit” them later. Once the memory–reading experiment was complete, she would no longer be of any use to him.
But Noelle wasn’t someone who would let Brandon have his way.
She wasn’t going to die. She had to find a way to escape him, and if possible, turn the tables on him…
Brandon noticed Noelle’s shifting gaze and knew exactly what she was thinking, but he didn’t care. After all, Noelle could never beat
In the enil, she would come back to him
