Chapter 333

There was a hidden tunnel under the cherry blossom tree in the garden of the Moriarty residence. Colin

jumped into it.

At a certain underground base outside of the city, Colin was seen in a black outfit and a mask.

Scanning his fingerprint, he entered the base.

He walked down a long dimly-lit flight of stairs where the air smelled like mold and rotten corpses.

He walked through a door, and the scenery behind it was completely different. There were advanced

mechanical devices glowing with blue lights and robots everywhere.

His identity was being verified at the door. A robotic voice said, “Verified. Welcome home, Leo.”

Colin quickly walked forward, but someone pressed something against his head.

A woman asked, “Where did you take the old man?”

The gentleness he usually showed for Olivia was gone. He swung his elbow hard toward his back with

a sullen face. The woman dodged instinctively.

He used the opening to grab the woman and got behind her. With one hand, he grabbed her arm and

pressed his other hand against the back of her head toward the wall.

The vixen mask on the woman’s face made a sharp sound as it rubbed against the wall.

He was very rough with her. “Didn’t I tell you that you can do whatever you want as long as you keep

your hands off her?”

The woman smirked.

“Why are you so subservient when it comes to her? I’m curious what kind of magic she has to be able

to mesmerize every one of you.”

“That has nothing to do with you! Stop interfering with the Fordhams! Or else…”

Colin lowered his voice and continued, “Don’t blame me if I lay my hands on him.”

“You can certainly try. Do you think he’s useless like Olivia?” The woman didn’t care about his threat.

“I heard you were met with a setback this time.”

The woman’s merciless mockery rang in his ears, striking Colin’s nerve. He applied even more

pressure as a re

“Did you already know his identity and not report it?”

“What about you? You also took Jeff away behind my back. You’re just as bad as me, so zip it.”

A voice came from behind Colin. “I see you’re both aware you’re as bad as each other. Now let her go.”

Colin released the woman in frustration before looking at the person behind him.

The person was still the same as she was ten years ago. She wore a huge hat and a cape that covered

her from top to toe. She also wore a demon mask.

A pale hand reached out from within the black cape. Her fingernails were covered in crimson nail

polish. In her hand was a test tube with some liquid in it.

“Here’s a new mission.”

Colin could feel her gaze fall on him. He bowed slightly and said softly, “What’s the mission?”

“Come with me.”

Colin and the woman in the vixen mask looked at each other before following the woman. They set

aside their grudge momentarily. Their faces became serious under their respective masks.

They went to a lab marked with the letter “Z”. The lab was dimly lit, and there was only light coming

from the screens in the

room.

The woman in the demon mask stood before Colin. “This is the newly developed drug, M.1.”

“So this is the drug that’ll cause memory loss upon ingesting? Isn’t this drug being developed by a team

overseas?”

The research for the drug began ten years ago. It was finally completed after so long. Colin was a little

excited.

Usually, to cause memory loss, the brain would need to experience blunt-force trauma or mental

breakdowns. There hadn’t been a drug that could cause memory loss without causing damage to the

brain before this.

The drug was destined to become one of the greatest creations of the century.

“There were still severe side effects discovered from the clinical trials. It still needs to be refined. I need

both of you to work together and perfect it.”

“What are the side effects?”

The woman rubbed the test tube while speaking. “If taken by people with severe mental issues, it’ll

cause mental instability and result in schizophrenia as well as dissociative identity disorder.”

“Understood.”

“It’s been chaotic out there recently. You two should stay in the lab until the drug is perfected.”

The woman’s voice quivered excitedly as she said, “I want to see it finished as soon as possible.”

“Understood.”
