Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1195

Ebony Fox pressed her lips together, deciding she didn't have the energy to argue. She turned around to look at Shanley, who was blankly spinning his red sandalwood bracelet, and frowned. "I want to hear your plan."

"Alright."

Shanley snapped out of his daze, his deep, magnetic voice slowly laying out the strategy.

...

Under a different patch of sky.

It had just rained, leaving the atmosphere thick and gray.

An elegant estate sat quietly within a picturesque, secluded town.

Juniper had been held hostage here for exactly half a month.

The genetic modification research was on the verge of completion.

By her calculations, Shanley would most likely make his move today.

Honestly, she hadn't seen him in days, and she was starting to miss the old fox.

She wondered if he was behaving himself in front of her parents.

"Miss Specter."

Nadia opened the door, her face an unreadable mask. "The five test subjects have returned. The boss requests your presence."

"Sure."

Juniper stood up and took a step toward the door when the woman suddenly spoke up. "Apologies, but we need to take precautions."

As she spoke, Nadia pulled out a specialized set of restraints, locking both Juniper's wrists and ankles.

She was the leader of the Subterra Vanguard, after all. Her skills were legendary.

They couldn't afford to underestimate her.

Juniper 'obediently' wore the shackles, following Nadia into the secondary lab.

This was the core of Corvus's operation.

Mountains of data and experimental results were centralized here.

"Your research direction was flawless." Corvus sat at the head of the table, flipping through the latest performance metrics of the test subjects, a broad smile plastered across his face. "All five subjects are exhibiting superhuman capabilities."

"Since that's the case, does this mean you've finalized the optimal formula?"

"Yes."

Juniper leaned lazily against the sofa, the picture of calm. "I still have a little data to crunch. I'll have the final conclusion for you before the sun comes up tomorrow."

"When you see it, I guarantee you'll be blown away."

"Excellent." Corvus nodded, beaming. "Specter, as long as you complete the genetic modification research, you have my word. I'll hand over the antidote formula and let Silas Blackwood live."
