Chapter 823
Zachary stared in disbelief when he realized that Petros' wrist was twisted in an unnatural angle.
Meanwhile, Timothy was shocked by how fragile Petros' wrist was. He was even concerned if Petros was suffering from osteoporosis.
"Petros!" Eirene yelled angrily as she rushed forward. She was fast, but by the time Timothy reacted and tried to protect Xan, Xan had already grabbed Eirene's fist.
Xan gently twisted Eirene's arm, snapping it from wrist to elbow. Eirene screamed in pain, likely sustaining a comminuted fracture.
Eirene glared seethingly at Xan. She clutched her shoulder and was about to strike back when Petros stopped her. Enduring the pain, he smiled and said, "Sorry, it seems like we were out of line."
Xan looked at Petros indifferently. She started tearing up as soon as she turned her head. "They're so terrifying!" Timothy frowned before shielding her carefully behind him. "Don't be afraid. Everything's alright."
Xan hid behind him, then tugged at the corner of his shirt to pull him away.
It took a while for Zachary to come back to his senses. He hurriedly ran after both of them. He was also surprised to find that there were actually two sides to Xan.
Feeling indignant, Eirene rushed forward to chase after them, but Petros reached out to stop her.
He then stood up straight and set his misaligned broken bones back in place. His bones were seemingly healing at an astonishing speed.
Eirene huffed before straightening her bones as well. "Her strength is incredible, Petros."
"What's incredible is not only her strength," Petros said with a smile. "How interesting. It seems like this failed experimental subject is quite fascinating as well."
"So what if she has incredible strength? She's merely a failed subject," Eirene replied, dissatisfied. "Ashton is the one Mr. T asked us to deal with, so we shouldn't be distracted. Let's find ways to go near this failed subject so that we can force Ashton to come back."
Petros replied, "Ashton is currently thriving overseas, with people protecting him from the outside. He's even backed by the giants of several major business districts in Huma. Michael Ford alone is hard enough to deal with, and Ashton's father-Steven Lincoln-is the true president behind Crowdstar Group."
He narrowed his eyes and continued, "We're in no hurry since Mr. T gave us three months. Let's just take it slow." "If it were up to me, we'd just abduct that failed subject, force Ashton to show up, and shoot him dead." Eirene huffed.
"You're too naive," Petros said, glancing at her arm. "Mr. T wants him alive."
"What makes Ashton so superior? We're also evolved subjects," Eirene said with jealousy.
"I heard that Ashton's evolution has no side effects. Don't you want to figure it out and help Mr. T find ways to deal with the side effects?" Petros asked, reaching a hand out to caress her cheek.
He continued, "You're my biological sister, and we're both products of the same genetic sequence. Our evolution has given us regenerative abilities far beyond ordinary people, but it has also made our cancerous cells run wild.
"But Ashton doesn't have the cancer gene." Petros' eyes were filled with intense jealousy when he spoke about Ashton.
Eirene was stunned before she clenched her fists tightly. "Alright, we'll capture him alive and let Mr. T dissect him. We'll definitely find a way to cure our condition!"
Petros smiled before placing an intimate kiss on her forehead. "Good girl."
Zachary glanced back as he walked. He felt goosebumps all over when he saw the intimate scene between Petros and Eirene.
He said, "It's obvious that those two are siblings since they look so much alike, but something feels off. They're acting too intimate for a pair of siblings."
Timothy glanced back and frowned. "They're truly strange. We'd better stay away from them in the future."
"Did Xan just... break their arms just now? Why aren't they rushing to the hospital?" Zachary mumbled, wondering if he was starting to see things from lack of sleep lately.
"They probably have weak arms due to osteoporosis," Timothy replied, trying to protect Xan.
"They have strong regeneration abilities, so their bones heal very quickly," Xan explained seriously.
Timothy laughed awkwardly. "Is... Is that so? Have you been watching science fiction movies lately, Xan?"
Xan nodded and replied, "Ashton recommended me some."
Both of them were completely off-topic.
"You guys can head back first. I'm going to the washroom." Zachary waved at Timothy and Xan.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Once they were gone, he started clutching his stomach painfully. He had been keeping it in as he was afraid that they might worry, but that kick he took earlier had been excruciating.
Even though Zachary had blocked and absorbed some of the force, it still felt as if his ribs were about to break.
