Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
It was supposed to be an insignificant organization so small that it could be crushed under their thumb.
Could it really be so influential that it could pull the strings of the renowned T3 Research Institute?
It seemed like they had been playing their cards close to the chest.
“It’s not just the T3 Research Institute,’ Carl continued, “Shadow Serpents, Darksteel Syndicate, Raven’s Claw, and others were all branches of Mount Doom.”Jack and Jones were taken aback. “Are you certain?”
They were well-acquainted with these big names, and their reputations were no less than that of T3
Research Institute.
“Underneath these branches, there are even more sub-branches. For instance, the orphanage you guys found out about is one of them.”
Jack and Jones were left completely stunned.
So, Mount Doom was even more terrifying than they had imagined. They just hadn’t discovered it until now.
“Also, those three elders earlier, I believe they’ve escaped to the T3 Research Institute.
There’s a secret tunnel between Inferno Clan and the T3 Research Institute.”
At this revelation, Jack and Jones were left completely dumbfounded, exchanging astonished glances.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
After taking care of his sister, Clark turned his attention to Carol. She seemed to be having a nightmare; her forehead was slick with sweat, and she looked rather distressed.
Clark fetched a warm towel and gently wiped her forehead. Holding her hand, he said soothingly, “Don’t be scared. I’m right here with you.”
Carol didn’t seem to be sleeping very peacefully.
“You’re safe now,’ Clark whispered into her ear, “You and Bella, you’re both safe at home now.”He softly stroked her hair. From this close, he could see every detail of her face. Was it to free her from her nightmare or to comfort her?
The next moment, he leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss.
“Ahem.”
A soft caugh echoed from Bella’s direction.
Clark turned around, his face flushing instantly. “Bella, are you awake?”
The girl on the couch smiled, fighting back her laughter. “Sorry, Clark, my throat was a bit dry, I couldn’t help it.”
She had woken up just a moment ago and was about to call out to Clark when she saw him kissing Carol…
Was that something she was supposed to see?
“I’ll get you some water. Clark quickly got up, got a glass of water, and brought it aver to Bella.
His face was still a bit red, like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Bella found Clark’s embarrassed expression rather adorable.
“Let me help you sit up. Take it slow.” Clark knew about Bella’s injury, so he was very careful as he helped her sit up. Once Bella was seated, he handed her the glass of water.
After drinking the water, Bella realized they were the only ones in the living room. “Where is everyone else?”
“They went out.”“Even Romeo?”
“He’s gone off to fight your battles with your little ones by his side.”
Mirabella raised an eyebrow, having anticipated this. She was about to reach for her charging phone when Clark quickly interjected, ‘Let me do it. You’re still injured. Don’t move unnecessarily.”
When she had returned earlier, her phone was out of battery, and one of the guys had set it aside to charge.
‘tll send him a message,’ Mirabella said as she took the phone and opened WhatsApp.
Fearing that her movements might aggravate her wounds, Clark quickly offered, “Don’t move. I can send it.”
‘It’s different when you send it and when I send it.”
He had to agree.
Romeo would definitely prefer to see her message.
After Mirabella sent the message, she heard Clark ask, “How are you feeling now?”
“Who dressed my wounds?”
“Dr. Nolan took care of the wound on your leg, Dr. Borg handled your arm, and then,” Clark relayed everything he knew.
Mirabella raised an eyebrow. Just as expected, these two, Nolan’s and Borg’s medical skills were still subpar. Even after all this time apart, there was little improvement, they had bandaged her up like this.“Who on earth hurt you guys like this?” Clark questioned further.
He knew his sister’s capabilities. In Lidaria, she had no trouble handling any miscreants.
“A bunch of freaks, Mirabella began recounting the ordeal.
A sudden realization dawned upon Clark, “It’s Chester.”
Since childhood, they had been injected with alt sorts of drugs, altering their physical functions and turning them into grotesque creatures.
“How did you manage to escape?” Clark asked, anxious.
Mirabella initially didn’t have any surefire plan.
No matter how much she fought, she couldn’t injure these freaks.
It wasn’t until she was trying to save Carol and they both fell to the ground that she saw a first aid box.
It was then she thought to use the needles to hit them.
Later on, she accidentally discovered that these people had chips implanted in their brains.
The needles she inserted had inadvertently damaged these chips.
“So, the organization is controlling their consciousness through these chips?” Clark was stunned, finding it hard to believe.
“Actually, implanting chips in the human body is not something new. About a decade ago, the older man who taught me medical skills tried this method. At the time, he wanted to use the chip to help himself quit drinking”
Of course, he couldn’t bear it later and started drinking again.He felt that life was short, so why deprive oneself.
Clark couldn’t believe that such technology was already so advanced a decade ago.
“It’s just not widely used in our country”
In fact, in some other countries, some companies and regions have already started implanting chips.
In Switzerland, the number of people with implanted chips exceeded ten thousand two years ago.
Such tiny chips were only the size of a grain of rice, and the implantation process was also convenient, much like a vaccine injection. The whole process took less than a minute and was painless.
“But I didn’t expect that this technology would be used for evil by Mount Doom.” This was something Mirabella hadn’t anticipated.
‘So, when you came back and said ‘head’, you were referring to their weakness in the head?” Clark suddenly understood.
‘Right.” Mirabella had wanted to say the key paint was on the head, but she had fainted before she could finish.
She had also mentioned this in the message she sent to Romeo earlier.
At that moment, Romeo was leading his gang in a sweep of victory, undefeated in every battle. His phone buzzed at that exact moment, and it was a message from Bella.
She’s awake!
Romeo’s eyes lit up with delight, his voice softening considerably, “Pull over.”
The mighty caravan of cars came to a halt, conveniently right in front of the Specter Syndicate’s front door.
This scared the living daylights out of the Specter Syndicate.
“Please, sir, have mercy, spare us.”
“We don’t have anything to do with Mount Doom, we’ve never even crossed paths.”
Seeing the fear in their eyes, Jack found it amusing and lowered his car window, “Relax, we’re not here for you, just passing through.”
“Pass through?” the man seemed relieved, almost ready to bow in gratitude, “Thank you, sir. It’s an honor for us if you’d like to take a break here. Are you thirsty? Perhaps tired? I’ll bring you some refreshments.”
Seeing them rush into the house to fetch food and drinks, Jack joked with Jones beside him, “Do they think we’re some sort of villains?”
“Of course, with all the commotion we’ve caused here today, anyone would think we’re here to take over all the organizations and rule the roost.”‘Heh, if they don’t have the guts, they shouldn’t be in this business. Look at how scared they are.”
At this point, Romeo got out of his car, signaling Carl to surrender the driver’s seat. He intended to leave first.
