LOGINBriella lowered her eyes. The simple sentence hit Diego like a bolt of lightning.
His grip on her hand tightened fiercely.
He had always known she was somehow involved in the 911 explosion—but he never expected she’d been that close to dying herself.
“Briella…”
He’d been investigating 911 for so long. And now… he wasn’t even sure he wanted to know the truth anymore.He moved, sitting on the edge of the bed and pulling her into his arms.
“Tell me,” he said softly.“My teacher was one of the most brilliant researchers I’ve ever known. My senior was just as talented—she would’ve been just like her. But that day… the lab exploded. I knew something felt off. I noticed it, I swear! But I still left the lab…
‘Why? Why did I leave?’
“If I had just been more careful… if I stayed even a little longer&he

Briella froze. “What…?”“The purge back in Avenlith was too brutal,” the old man said, voice heavy. “I don’t want that tragedy to repeat itself. We may have never met formally, but I’ve heard your music. There’s strength in it. Freedom. A pursuit of something deeply personal. That’s why I believe in you. Stop all of this. Child…”Before he could finish, the President suddenly twisted around and grabbed the old man’s hand, yanking it back hard.“Uncle, why are you betraying the Yale family now?!”The President’s usual calm facade cracked, his voice tinged with frustration and disbelief.The old man gave a soft chuckle. “It’s not sudden. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time—ever since Luna revealed her identity. She’s her daughter. Her mother’s legacy… it’s only right she’s the one to carry it
“Mommy, why is your face so red?”Moa tugged on Briella’s hand, eyes full of curiosity.She instinctively touched her cheek. “Is it?”“It is!”“Alright, alright. You two go in and keep your... daddy company, okay? But don’t disturb him—he still needs to rest.”The moment she finished, Briella turned on her heel and quickly walked away.Her retreating figure gave off a definite running-for-her-life vibe.Moa covered his mouth, giggling. “Hehehe... Mommy’s totally admitting it now! Uncle Diego is definitely Daddy!”“I knew she couldn’t keep it a secret for long.” Koa crossed his arms smugly, like he saw it coming a mile away.Mason: “???”Seneca: “!!!”“No freaking way&mdash
“WildMoon?”Saxon clearly froze for a second. “You’re… WildMoon?”Philip tossed the pendant in his hand over to her. “Don’t I look like him?”She caught it instinctively and glanced down, her heart skipping a beat.Why now? What happened?She looked around. The others nearby looked restless, clearly curious.The moment they met her eyes, they quickly dropped their heads and busied themselves with whatever they were doing.Saxon masked her emotions, then looked back at him. “Come inside with me.”Philip followed her upstairs.Saxon opened the door to her office and walked behind her desk, finally dropping her usual facade. She stared straight at him as she placed the pendant on the desk.Her gaze was probing and curious.“So, the great Master of WildMoon Hall shows up at the Technology Division just like that. What’
As soon as those words fell, the man before him turned around, bracing himself on the table.Philip stared at the person in front of him for a full five seconds.The old Mr. Rosetti gave him a kind smile. “What’s wrong?”“Old Master Rosetti…”Philip’s voice was sharp, full of confusion.His pupils contracted, and a storm of indescribable emotions surged in his eyes—intense and chaotic—before quickly settling back into calm.He couldn’t help but take a step back.The old master coughed twice, covering his mouth with a clenched fist.His face was lined with gentleness. He didn’t seem surprised at Philip’s expression and beckoned to him, signaling him to come over.“I know you're shocked or surprised right now. That’s exactly why I came—so I could explain everything. You’ve already agreed to take over the alliance,
"What?"The president's eyes flashed as he turned his head slightly. "I'll have someone look into it."He helped the old man up and began walking him out with a smile. “Since that’s the case, why don’t we stir things up a bit more in Avenlith?”The old man gave him a curious glance. “Are you sure? Didn’t you already make an agreement with Harvey? If this gets out of hand, can you handle the fallout?”“Why wouldn’t I be able to? I’m out of patience. I need to get my hands on Specimen 001 from Lab Four!”His face twisted with barely contained fury and a burning desire.The old man paused. “Lab Four doesn’t exist anymore. That so-called Specimen 001 might just be a myth.”With a calm temper, the old man simply hummed in response.“I understand, Uncle. Let me help you back to your room to rest.”He escorted the ol
