Chapter 259 Chapter 259 â Across the deserted road , a petite figure slowly emerged from the shadows Elsie .
But unlike the harmless , wide eyed girl she appeared to be around Noelle and the Anderson family , this version of Elsie had none of that innocence .
Her eyes locked onto Brandon , gleaming with bloodthirsty excitement and combat lust Even an ordinary bystander would sense the danger radiating off her but Brandon ? He didnt flinch .
He merely turned around , leaned lazily against the guardrail , arms draped casually over it .
His emerald green eyes narrowed as he stared at her , his smirk taunting and condescending .
Are all Serpaton Mocrta Alliance Lab rats such hyenas ? he drawled .
The moment I step outside , you sniff your way here ? Elsie didnt respond .
She simply stared at him like a predator itching to strike .
Her earring , however , began to blink blue .
Then a low , hoarse voice came through the communication device an aged man with a heavy tone .
The chief of Atoraka Nowedons next gen projects ... and a fully qualified multi type experimental subject .
With a specimen that valuable , how could we not try to acquire him ? Brandon chuckled , not moving an inch .
So ... what ? You send this piece of trash after me ? Trash ? The voice paused , clearly stunned To call their pride and joy , Elsie , trash ? The arrogance ! Then came a cold laugh .
Big words .
Lets see if youre still laughing after- But the old man didnt get to finish .
With a flash , Brandon vanished from the guardrail and reappeared directly in front of Elsie .
In the blink of an eye , he had her by the throat , lifting her clean off the ground .
It happened so fast , no one not even Elsie had time to react .
Now , her feet kicked uselessly in the air , her face contorted in pain as Brandon gripped her neck , effortlessly immobilizing her .
He looked up at her with a chilling grin , his voice low and calm .
What ? Offended I called her trash ? Should I show you just how easy itd be to break your little masterpiece ? His fingers tightened . Elsie choked , struggling , her body thrashing , but it was no use , She tried to retaliate but Brandon was faster , stronger , and absolutely merciless .
In a matter of seconds , she was limp from lack of oxygen .
Wait ! Armando Riveras voice c cut through , panicked .
Brandons hand paused , though he didnt lower Elsie .
Something else to say ? he asked coolly , eyes flicking toward the blinking earring .
Armandos tos tone had shifted no more arrogance , just urgency .
We apologize for the ambush .
If you want Just ... dont kill the girl compensation , well offer it Brandon let out a cold laugh and tossed Elsie aside like a broken doll .
She crashed to the ground hard , tumbling and scraping along the rough asphalt until she came to a stop .
Her exposed skin was torn and bloodied a mess of abrasions and bruises Most people wouldve shown at least a shred of pity Brandon showed none .
He was cold blooded by nature .
In his eyes , the world was divided into two types of people Noelle , and everyone else .
223 PM c d Chapter 259 And everyone else ? Tools , at best .
Even now , as Elsie lay battered on the ground , he didnt so much as blink .
The others on the line remained silent , afraid to speak , barely breathing .
Brandon casually walked toward her again , each step slow and deliberate .
Then , looking down at the earring , he asked with an easy smile , Lets talk compensation then .
Start by telling me why did you plant her in the Anderson family ? Armando hesitated for a second , then relented .
Elsie was originally aggressive and bloodthirsty .
But after the lab explosion , she developed a secondary personality .
We saw it as a rare chance to test emotional response .
Sending her to the Andersons wasnt the original plan we didnt know Adriel had ties to your subject .
Brandon scoffed .
Interesting .
Then how do you explain her showing killing intent toward Noelle on day one ? That was during sleep .
Her aggressive personality surfaces in unconscious states .
Your subjects presence likely triggered it Brandon chuckled again , pure disdain on his face .
So a walking time bomb with unstable personalities is your labs proudest creation ? No wonder your facilitys going downhill .
Armando stayed silent .
He wanted to argue .
Technically , Ekie was a top tier product agility , strength , reflexes , recovery speed ... all elite level .
Shed fought multiple elite test subjects during the lab wars and held her own .
Among all creations , shed been their standout .
But now ! Now theyd encountered a monster like Brandon a man who defeated Elsie effortlessly .
A man whose abilities exceeded every known metric .
They had assumed Brandon was a high tier , maybe SS level , like Elsie But the truth was chilling : Elsie reached 55 level by barely qualifying .
Brandon , however , was capped at 55 simply because the ranking system didnt go any higher .
And he wasnt just strong .
He was also the chief commander of Atoraka Nowedon Lab one of the most feared , powerful people in the underground world .
The mere thought gave Armando chills you One thing was now crystal clear : they must never become this mans enemy .
We still see Elsie as a critical asset , Armando said quickly .
If youll spare her , well support whatever your current goals are .
Just name .
Serpaton Mocrta Lab will back fully . Brandon raised an eyebrow .
Smart old bastards , he thought .
At least they knew how to read the room .
Bennett the genius , the prodigy , Noelles brother .
Among the top labs , even the best minds rarely matched Bennett in brilliance .
And now , Bennett was working on memory replication : a way to record and preserve a humans entire set of memories .
If successful , it would be a breakthrough like copying a persons soul .
And Brandon needed it .
But it had to be done quietly .
Atoraka Nowedon couldnt know .
Not yet .
So he smiled and said .
Since youre being so generous , I wont be shy .
Ill call when I need you Understood .
Armando exhaled in relief .
He ordered Elie to retreat immediately But before leaving she shot Brandon one last look eyes burning with resentment , like the still wanted take him down Brandon smirked .
What Dying for a second round ? 2:23 PM Ä Ä Chapter 259 The moment the killing aura around him surged , Elsie flinched .
Her fire completely extinguished .
She turned and bolted .
The next next morning , just as the first hints of dawn lit the sky , Noelle slowly opened her eyes under the covers .
Still half asleep , she turned her head only to see a stunningly handsome man lying right next to her .....
