Chapter 142
“Killed Nicolas Sawyer” The moment the words left. Brandon’s mouth, Noelle’s mind erupted in a chaotic storm of thoughts.
Brandon’s words echoed over and over in her head. ‘Is Brand asking me to kill Nick?‘ she wondered, her body freezing in shock.
Meanwhile, the deputy manager’s face went ashen. He rushed forward, desperate to stop the order. “No! Commander, we can’t let the subject take
His words barely left his lips before Brandon’s cold gaze landed on him. His smile was warm, but his eyes were anything but, filled with an icy. deadly danger
Brandon’s voice was chilling. “Are you telling me how to do my job?”
The deputy manager froze, a shiver running down his spine. He quickly lowered his head, barely daring to breathe as he stammered, “No, no, Commander 1-1 didn’t mean to tell you how to do thing… It’s just… it’s not the right time yet…”
Brandon raised an eyebrow. “Not the right time?”
With a click, he cut off the communication device.
The deputy manager, forehead dripping with cold sweat, hurried to explain, his voice shaking. “Well… it’s just. Nicolas isn’t an ordinary person. Not only is he the heir of the Sawyer family, the richest family in Reniam City, but his mother’s family is incredibly influential
“His mother, Amelie, was originally from the Jenkins family, the famous aristocratic family. They severed des years ago, but if we kill Nicolas, they won’t just sit by and watch”
“The Jenkins family…” Brandon’s eyes flickered slightly at the mention of the name, “You mean the aristocratic Jenkins family that’s been around for centuries?”
“Yes, exactly! The Jenkins family is one of the oldest and most influential families. We only found out later that Nicolas’s mother, Amelie, is the youngest daughter of the current head of the Jenkins family. She cut ties with her family to marry Nicolas’s father, and they haven’t been in contact since. But we discovered that the Jenkins family has been keeping tabs on Nicolas all these years”
“And here’s the kicker–the Jenkins family is one of the three major financial backers of our lab. If our transformer were to kill their grandson, it could drag the entire lab into a huge mess.”
Brandon listened, his long lashes lowering as he fell into thought. After a moment, he suddenly chuckled, a hint of admiration in his voice. “Noelle’s quite something, isn’t she! The person she fell for has quite the background”
The deputy manager couldn’t tell if Brandon’s laughter was genuine or just a facade. He remained cautious, carefully suggesting. “Actually, severing ties doesn’t necessarily require killing the person. As long as we can confirm that she can be decisive and resolute when facing him, that should
Usually, killing was the most straightforward way to cut ties. But this time, the person the subject had fallen for was too significant. They had no choice but to consider a compromise.
After hearing the deputy manager’s suggestion, Brandon paused for a moment. His finger traced circles on the silver orb in front of him, his smile enigmatic as he spoke slowly, “Well, since the person is connected to our benefactor, we naturally can’t kill him”
Hearing this, the deputy manager let out a quiet sigh of relief. Thank goodness. At least he can still be reasoned with, he thought, a weight lifting off his shoulders.
The convenation ended, but the tension in the office remained thick. Brandon glanced up at the deputy manager, who was standing nervously. then asked with a playful smile, “Is there something elser”
The deputy manager wiped the sweat off his brow, hesitantly reminding. “Commander, you haven’t yet given Noelle her orders. Shouldn’t you stop her before she takes action?”
If Noelle latened to the command and killed Nicolas, it would be disastrous

Brandon feigned surprise “Oh, right! I almost forgot” He chuckled lightly, clearly not in a
The deputy nunager cursed inwardly. How could you, one of the most elite subjects in the lab, forget something so crucial! Y to kill him, don’t you?
He wanted to scream, but instead, he forced a smile and urgently said, “Commander, please we need to stop her now
Brandon grinned and teased, “You’re so impatient Slowly, lazily, he opened the communicator again.

Noelle stood frozen, her mind reeling as Brandon’s command echoed relentlessly. “Kill Nicolas Sawyer,”
The summer sun blazed down, but she felt as if she had stepped into an icy vold, the cold seeping deep into her bones. Am I really supposed to kill Nick: Why” she wondered, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and disbelief.
She knew she shouldn’t question the orders. She had to obey. That was her purpose. But still, her heart ached in a way she didn’t understand. It was as though something inside her was breaking
She didn’t know why she felt this way, or why her eyes were suddenly stinging, but it felt like her world was spinning, and tears were threatening to

Her legs felt heavy, as if filled with lead, and she could barely move
She was out of breath, her chest tightening. She just wanted everything to slow down, to make it stop.
Just as Noelle was struggling in her heart, the necklace suddenly lit up with blue light again. Brandon’s voice came through the necklace, clear and calm. “Noelle, mission canceled. You don’t need to kill Nicolas,”
The words hit Noelle like a wave of relief, as if she’d just been saved from drowning. Her shoulders sagged, the tension leaving her body in a rush. She squeezed the necklace, a smile creeping across her face. “Really? Brand, I don’t have to kill Nick anymore?”
Brandon’s green eyes flickered, unreadable. He smiled slowly, his voice dripping with amusement. “Noelle, you’re happy? Not having to kill

“Yeah! I’m super happy!” Noelle’s voice was bright with joy. “I really like Nick. I don’t want to kill him”
As soon as the words left her mouth, the deputy manager in the office felt a chilling wave of cold air sweep over him. He shivered, his body trembling as he cautiously glanced at Brandon seated in front of him.
Brandon’s lips still held a faint smile, but an undeniable icy aura radiated from him. He chuckled softly, his voice deceptively calm. “Oh! You like him that much, Noelle?”
“Mm–hmm!” Noelle nodded enthusiastically.

Brandon les out a light Laugh, but the darkness in his eyes deepened. Suddenly, he posed a question to her, his tone playful yet laced with something more sinister. Then, if Nicolas and I were both drowning, who would you save!”
