Chapter 921

The two men behind the lead researcher realized the mission had failed and immediately tried to kill themselves, too.Hayley reacted even faster. She rushed forward and punched both of them across the face, snapping their jaws sideways instantly.At the same time, she suddenly realized that these three probably weren't sent by Decider One after all.If Decider One wanted to move against her early and force her to become a zombie ahead of schedule, then these people wouldn't be trying to commit suicide after failing. They would've called for backup immediately.Instead, the whole thing felt secretive, like they had snuck in behind everyone's backs to act on their own.They had even shut off the room surveillance first."Who the hell sent you?"Hayley grabbed the leader by the collar and started interrogating him, but the man still refused to speak. She crushed several of his bones one after another, making sickening cracks.Sweat poured down the man's face from the pain. Yet eve

Hayley gave each of the three men an emergency pill.The one she had beaten up the worst got two, along with a layer of Valenex spread over his injuries.Anything produced by the system was top-tier stuff. Before long, the three men who had been barely clinging to life were already recovering at a visible speed.After they stabilized, all three of them looked at Hayley with complicated expressions."Staring at me like that won't change anything," Hayley said casually. "Who told you idiots to come assassinate someone when you're this weak?"The three men instantly fell silent.After a long pause, the lead researcher finally spoke first."So… You really aren't planning to help Ascendant Creed?"Hayley looked at him like he had asked the dumbest question imaginable."Help them? I came here to send them straight to hell. I'll wipe out every last one of those anti-human lunatics, even if it's the last thing I do!"The tension in the three men's expressions finally eased. When they

"What could possibly happen to me?" Hayley narrowed her eyes at Scott."The surveillance feed in your room went down, so I came to check.""I see," Hayley answered lazily, then looked at him. "Well, now that you've checked, can you leave?""Are you sure everything's fine in here?"Scott's mental energy quietly spread through the room. He could vaguely sense that someone else had been here.Right then, Hayley's bright voice suddenly interrupted his concentration."I think there are some things I really need to tell you, Scott. Otherwise, I might not get another chance later."Scott instantly lost focus. The sudden shift caught him completely off guard."How about this?" Hayley blinked at him. "Let's find somewhere better to talk slowly. Your room, maybe? There are too many cameras here. Not exactly convenient."Scott stared at her silently for a long moment."I'm evolving in two days anyway," Hayley continued casually. "I've got a lot to say to you."Scott suddenly didn't kno

Hayley stared straight into Scott's eyes, blinking innocently as she called out sweetly, "Scott, sweetie…"Scott instantly went silent."Why won't you believe me?" Hayley looked completely sincere. "I really do want to know how you take care of your hair."She sighed dramatically."Don't let this fool you." She pointed at her own hair. "It only looks okay right now, but I actually lose a ton of hair. The texture's terrible, too. Honestly, at this rate, I might go bald in a few years."Scott didn't know what to say. He looked at the deadly serious expression on her face, and a faint smile slowly appeared on his lips."Besides hair, what else did you want to talk about?""Nothing else for now.""But I remember you saying you had a lot to tell me." Scott casually popped open a beer can. "Keep going. Once you've said enough, I won't investigate anymore."Hayley fell silent again.Fine. If he wanted nonsense that badly, she would keep talking.So Hayley started asking him questio

"I don't really have anything I like."This time, Scott answered simply.Hayley blinked. "Why not?" "Because everything I learned growing up was for other people." Scott leaned back slightly, his tone calm. "Whatever adults liked, I learned. I never had the chance to develop anything I personally enjoyed."Hayley raised a brow slightly.Truthfully, she didn't know much about Scott's past. She only knew he was the sole legitimate heir of two powerful families, yet somehow, neither side had ever truly cared about him."So why work that hard to please them?""Because none of them cared about me."A trace of cold hostility flashed beneath Scott's gentle expression."I wanted my dad, my mom, and both my grandpas to notice me."When I was little, I tried acting rebellious to get attention. But eventually, I realized rebellion only made people dislike me more."So I started learning the things adults admired. I became the kind of child they liked. I figured that, slowly, those peo

Chapter 926

Right then, a sharp notification beep crackled through Scott's earpiece, and he immediately got to his feet. "They're here to give you another injection."The second Hayley heard that, she jumped off Scott's couch and practically rushed for the door. "I'm heading back."Scott frowned at her reaction. "Hayley.""What?""They're injecting you.""I know." She looked completely unconcerned. "I'm supposed to become the future king anyway. See you later."Scott was completely at a loss.He watched her shuffle upstairs in her slippers and followed after her.A few minutes later, Hayley stepped back into her room. The same three researchers from yesterday were already waiting inside.The moment they saw her still wrapped in the same bath towel as the night before, looking very much like she had spent the entire night elsewhere, their expressions instantly turned awkward."Hey, guys." Hayley casually lifted a hand in greeting.The lead researcher in the white coat gave a faint nod.
