Chapter 1089: Exposed?

Editor: Henyee Translations

The hall master skillfully played with the two grenades in his hands, smiling benignly. “Young Master Devon, our Chief has been quite polite up to this point. If you continue to refuse our offer, don’t blame Lord for being rude.”

Since Chief took over, they hadn’t engaged in a fight for quite some time.

Devon felt a wave of frustration wash over him, but facing Feng Jue, cold sweat began to trickle down his back. He sensed that if he persisted in obstructing him, Feng Jue would undoubtedly step over his lifeless body.

Resigning, he raised his hands to signal the Katie family’s bodyguards to lower their weapons and step aside. “It’s all a misunderstanding. Since Chief Feng has a search warrant, you’re free to do as you wish.”

Only then did Feng Jue holster his gun and stride into the manor.

The hall masters and Lord’s mercenaries fanned out in all directions, scouring the area.

Once they were gone, the forced smile faded from Devon’s face. He glared at Feng Jue’s retreating figure, muttering curses under his breath.

Tally frowned. “Brother, are we really just going to let them search?”

Devon said, “What else can we do? Fight Lord? That old woman Cross from the Bass family has been coveting our Katie family. If we engage Lord and both sides suffer, we’ll be playing right into their hands.”

Tally replied, “But Father did allow Utopia’s people in…”

Devon narrowed his eyes. “That was a collaboration between Father and Chief Ryan years ago. What’s wrong with letting our partners stay at our house for a while? Besides, we know Gu Yang too. There isn’t even a Chinese girl among them, let alone Gu Yang.”

In the underground laboratory, the physicist stared at the mental strength detector, which showed a 99% fluctuation, feeling a bit frustrated. “Chemist, how long will your medicine take to work?”

The chemist replied, “It usually takes about five minutes to take effect. There should be some fluctuations. Perhaps her SSS-rank mental strength is too strong, making the effect less obvious. It’s like a drop of water in the ocean—hardly causing any waves. You might need to increase the dosage. This time, try 5 mg…”

“Troublesome!”

After five minutes of waiting, the physicist grew impatient. He snatched the medicine from the chemist’s hands, filled the entire syringe, and injected more than half of it into Gu Yang.

The chemist had no time to intervene. “That’s too much!”

However, after the injection, the instrument still did not show any fluctuations.

The physicist filled another syringe and discarded the empty medicine bottle, continuing to inject Gu Yang with the IV.

The cylindrical potion bottle rolled on the ground. Weeping Clown, who was lingering behind the crowd, quietly picked it up and placed it beside the potion table.

Once he let go of the bottle, its label changed from “Mental Energy Enhancement Potion” to “Nutrient Fluid.” An identical empty bottle sat next to it.

After ensuring he hadn’t attracted attention, he returned to the crowd, only to meet the cold gaze of Hunter, who was wiping down his gun.

Weeping Clown’s heart skipped a beat.

Am I exposed?

At that moment, the east door of the laboratory burst open, and the Family Head of the Katie family rushed in. “Chief Ryan! Lord has broken into the manor to conduct a search. Can we proceed with the light cone experiment now?”

Although the Katie family was not officially part of Utopia, they were crucial collaborators, much like the Francis family.

However, while the Francis family was involved in arms trading, the Katie family’s head had sponsored Utopia and was eager to benefit from the light cone experiment.
