Millyâs eyes flickered, her long eyelashes concealing the emotions in her gaze.

After a moment, her voice, ethereal and stubborn, broke the silence, âHe is not an experiment, he has a name. His name is Apollo. He is my brotherâ¦
Apollo, representing the sun.
The last name he bore was not the Burnettsâ but hers, Millyâs.
Apollo in the cage couldnât understand her words. He looked at her warily, instinctively wanting to attack.
His thin arms tensed with muscle, veins bulging on his hands and neck, as if he would break out of the
cage at any moment.
âSqueak, squeak, squeak!â
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded, and red warning lights began to flash.
âNot good, someone has broken in illegally!â
Immediately, the mercenaries and the waiter from earlier rushed out quickly.
The red warning lights and the earâpiercing siren made Apollo even more agitated. His powerful arms and wrists shook the cage violently, and he let out a series of roars, âAhhh
The iron bars of the cage, as thick as forearms, were being bent forcefully by the frenzied Apollo. It was as if he felt no pain, struggling incessantly.
The chains around his wrists and ankles had already caused many bloody marks.
Bright red blood flowed down the chains to the ground, stark and terrifyingâ¦
Seeing him like this, Milly felt a pang of pain in her heart. She was just about to step forward to calm him. down when George stopped her.
âDonât go over there. Itâs too dangerous.â
Milly bit her lip, a look of helplessness appearing in her eyes for the first time. âBut heâs bleeding so much.
She knew she was never a saint, nor did she have a heart to save the worldâ¦
But facing this boy, she couldnât remain indifferent. He and the mute brother who used to bring her potatoes overlapped miraculously in her memories.
She wasnât saving him, she was saving that powerless childhood!
George took out his phone and dialed a number. âThereâs a situation in the basement. The Ghost Sect has probably started their operation. Send more people to guard the basement. Make sure they come in alive and leave dead!â
âYes, Master.â

George hung up after giving instructions and looked at Milly, who was still lost in her thoughts. He felt an overwhelming sense of compassion for her. He gently pulled her into his arms, soothingly patting her back as if calming a fussy baby, serious yet gentle.
âItâs okay, trust me. I will protect both you and Apollo. No one will hurt you.â
Oliver opened his laptop, his fingers quickly decoding the security system.
Soon, the entire basementâs surveillance appeared on the screen.
King frowned as he watched the footage, muttering, âDo they really need this much security? Five layers of security doors? Could they already know weâre coming?â
Leon also studied the monitors and said. âItâs possible. If we can find out, so can Shadow Palace.
âAnd these doors arenât just to keep us out, theyâre also to prevent the experiments from escaping
King nodded in agreement.
True, if the experiments escaped, it wouldnât just be a financial loss. The whole world could be thrown into panic.â
Oliver suddenly frowned and spoke up, âSomeone has already gone in. My system shows the security doors were opened a minute ago.â
King clicked his tongue. âLooks like the auction is over, and the big spenders have arrived.â
He turned to Oliver, urging him as he watched the monitor, âIdiot, pull up the innermost camera feed.â
Oliverâs face flushed with anger. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, ready to throttle King. âWho are you calling an idiot? Youâre the idiot! Your whole familyâs idiots!â
King loved provoking Oliver, finding joy in his outbursts. âHeh, whoever responds is the idiot.â
You!
As the two seemed ready to come to blows, Leon felt a headache coming on.
âEnough, you two. Get back to the task. This is not the time to mess around.â
King immediately backed off, releasing Oliverâs wrist. He patted Oliverâs ruffled pink hair and said with a smile, âDonât fuss, Leonâs getting mad.â
Oliver was furious. âYou started it by calling me idiot!â
It was always the sameâKing would start the personal attacks and somehow end up looking like the good
guy.
It wasnât fair!
But one glance at Leonâs cold eyes was enough to make him stop moving, his anger subsiding quickly.
An angry Leon was indeed terrifying

He sat back down obediently, still feeling wronged. âKing started bullying me!

Despite his complaints, Oliverâs fingers moved swiftly over the keyboard, inputting various codes. Soon, the surveillance feeds from all corners appeared on the
screen.
But as he tried to unlock the innermost room, where the experiments were held, the characters on the computer began to jump uncontrollably.
Oliver froze. âWhatâs happening?â
As he tried to regain control, a piercing alarm sounded outside.
âThis is bad! Weâve been detected!â
Oliver quickly pulled back from the surveillance tracking, but the alarm continued to blare.
âSomeone tampered with the surveillance. It must have triggered the alarm.
âI should have been more careful. Iâm sorry, Leonâ¦.
Oliver looked at Leon, feeling deeply remorseful. This was his first major mistake.
His tracking abilities had always been impeccable, without a single error in countless missionsâuntil now.
He had underestimated the situation.
Leon watched the monitor as more people started moving towards their location. He pursed his lips. âItâs not your fault. Itâs likely Shadow Palaceâs doing. We donât have their numbers, so being discovered was inevitable.â
Leon cocked his gun, put on his mask, and said coldly, âLetâs move!â
Oliver stood up quickly. âIâm coming with you.â
âNo!â Leon stopped him. âItâs too dangerous. Follow the usual protocol. Stay outside and cover us.â
âBut
King, now serious, looked at him and said, âListen to Leon. Protect yourself. If things go wrong, worry about us, got it?â

Oliver stubbornly replied, âNo, Iâll cover you. Iâll wait for you to come out. If you
donât make it, neither will
I.â
