Bruce waved someone over, who then placed a pile of documents in front of Yuna. "As a matter of fact, your teacher is stuck with some trouble with the calculation part," Bruce said. "If you can solve this problem, I'll grant one of your wishes." "I want you to release my teacher," Yuna said without thinking twice. "Can't believe such a close connection could exist between a teacher and a student." There was envy in Bruce's eyes. But he still said with a smile, "Alright, I'll do that. But there is a time limit. I want you to solve the calculation within 24 hours." Yuna was reading through all the documents seriously. She said, "I'll try to finish it as soon as possible." "There's no trying. You must finish it as soon as possible." Yuna glanced at him without a word. She then lowered her head to read the documents again. Bruce then waved everyone away, signaling that they shouldn't disturb her from her reading. When he was about to head out, he gave Yuna a meaningful gl

Bruce stopped watching the surveillance camera. Lifting his head up, he spoke to his assistant, who was standing in front of him. He asked, "How's the situation outside?" The assistant replied, "It's relatively quiet outside, Mr. Houston. Since Yvan has taken Jacob away, I think our secret base will be discovered soon. Shouldn't we take some protective measures?"Bruce chuckled. "Protective measures? We're waiting for Yvan to bring his men over and meet us." Narrowing his eyes, he said darkly, "We'll then be able to get rid of all of them at once. Only then would the progress of our research not be affected." "What a brilliant plan, Mr. Houston." …Under Yvan's threats and torture, Jacob was forced to tell him the location of the secret base of the Black Crown Organization. Panting hard, Jacob said, "Even if you know where their secret base is, you wouldn't be able to save Master Eastin. Do you think I don't know your plan? You just want to save Master Eastin so you can ask

After hearing that, Cedric asked in shock, "How could you only tell me about this now?" Seeing how agitated he was, Jeremiah explained helplessly, "I came to tell you right after I found out, Mr. Xavier. Is there a problem?" "Yes, a very big one." Cedric frowned and muttered, "I can't believe it's him!" Cedric then left to see Carl and the others. Jeremiah reported Cedric's reaction to Nathaniel. Then, he followed suit and ran downstairs. When everyone was present, Cedric said, "I've finally found out who the man behind the Black Crown Organization is." Everyone was shocked and stared at him. "It's Bruce Houston." Carl instantly stood up when he heard that name. "Cedric, do you even hear yourself? Bruce died more than 20 years ago. How could he be the man behind the Black Crown Organization?" Cedric then repeated the information Jeremiah had told him. He showed everyone Bruce's pictures and Bruce's working style when he was alive. Upon comparing this information wi

Yuna nodded. She followed Nick to a blind spot to have a chat with the help of other researchers. "We all heard about the matter of you and Master Eastin. We just want to know if you guys are really going to help Bruce finish this research project?" Yuna simply looked at him, keeping her mouth shut. Pausing for a second, Nick asked, "Ms. Surra, you don't trust me, do you? It's right to suspect me. But you can rest assured that I'm not blindly following Bruce. I'm disgusted by his actions." Then, he pulled out a pen drive and said, "The reason Bruce's project is progressing slowly isn't just because Master Eastin couldn't solve the calculation. It's also because he told me to do certain things to the machines in secret." Yuna then realized something. "So you're the one who Master Eastin was talking about." "That's right." Nick sighed in relief. "Thank god Master Eastin told you about this." "Sorry." "It's okay. Let's keep things short and don't get caught." Yuna and Ni

Bruce took a deep breath. It didn't feel nice to be threatened. But he gave in. That's because he needed the final data for this research project. He couldn't afford to let Yuna ruin his plan. "Okay, sure!" Bruce said and spoke to the man beside him, "Open up one of the passages at the side entrance and let them out." "I want to watch and make sure they leave safely," Yuna suddenly said. "You're asking for a lot, aren't you?" Bruce narrowed his eyes. "I don't trust you. What if you don't let them go in the end?" Yuna smiled. "Sorry, Bruce. I have to be considerate toward them." "Aren't you afraid that I'd kill you after they leave?" Bruce asked. "It's okay. As long as they're safe, it doesn't matter if I die," Yuna said calmly. Bruce was defeated by Yuna's words. He told his men to bring the researchers outside. Someone then stood in front of Yuna and showed her the live footage on a tablet. Yuna was actually breaking out in a cold sweat. "Nick, just leave with ever
