Chapter 749:
He exhaled deeply, a weary sigh signaling the limits of his insights.
âHarlee is far from ordinary. In truth, her capabilities surpass the combined strength of ours.â
Lonnie had hesitated to reveal the delicate details of the âBloodthirstiness Pillâ to Rhys, fearing it might put Harlee in harmâs way.
But Kareem, bold as ever, proclaimed Harleeâs superiority without hesitation.
Even more audaciously, Kareem claimed that her powers exceeded those of the entire family combined.
Lonnieâs eyes narrowed skeptically as his piercing gaze shifted to the large screen casting a dim glow across the room.
âI admit Harlee is extraordinary.
But to suggest her powers overshadow ours? Is this a case of you overvaluing Harlee or underestimating my abilities?â
Before Kareem could respond, Fleming interjected with a soft, knowing chuckle.
âDad, it seems youâve really underestimated Harlee!â
Leaning forward, his voice brimming with enthusiasm, Fleming recounted a moment from their recent exploits in the physics lab.
âConsider this: Harlee isnât just an internationally acclaimed fashion icon or a nationally respected engineer recognized by Willis. Sheâs also an adept physicist known for her groundbreaking experiments.
Dad, youâve completely underestimated her.â
At Flemingâs words, Lonnieâs jaw slackened, his usual composure replaced by stark amazement.

He had never imagined that his daughter could mentor the top researchers at the National Physics Laboratory on their projects.
Her achievements far surpassed anything his five sons had accomplished.
Kareem chimed in, âAnd letâs not overlook Harleeâs cybersecurity skills. Theyâre nothing short of remarkable.â
Lonnie clutched his chest, eyes rolling skyward as though on the verge of collapse from sheer astonishment.
Years earlier, when Nicola sensed looming threats, she had decisively isolated herself on the island and strictly prohibited any inquiries into the pillâs creator. Thus, to this day, Lonnie remained in the dark about their identity or visage.
Understanding the critical nature of their situation, Brenton called his four brothers together to chart their investigative course, prioritizing a consultation with Nicola.
Brenton took charge of the operationâs more visible elements. Kareem had the critical task of employing military assets to delve deep into Matteoâs history in the murky depths of Uwhor.
Fleming embarked on a journey to the remote island, intent on securing Nicolaâs genetic material, hoping it could shed light on the enigmatic âBloodthirstiness Pill.â Fletcher was on a mission to enlist the aid of powerful allies.
And Clint? His duty was simply to provide moral support to his brothers.
All five members meticulously honed their respective roles, engaging in detailed discussions until the first light of dawn.
Completely worn out, Lonnie found the late hours overwhelming.
After absorbing the myriad details of their plan, he excused himself, retreating to the solitude of his room to recharge.
