James looked at Blake and waited for him to speak.
Blake took a deep breath and said, “You’d never guess what was being researched in that lab in the mountains.”
James’ curiosity was piqued. He asked, “What did you find?”
Blake continued, “You know about Gu venom, don’t you? It’s one of the most venomous things in the world. It takes years, even centuries, to raise a Gu. Each Gu possesses deadly poison and unknown viruses. What’s most scary about them is the virus they carry.”
“What are you trying to say?”
With a grim expression, Blake said, “The research laboratory is conducting research on viruses.”
“Viruses?!” James was stunned.
“Have you ever heard of the Undead Warrior?” Blake asked.
James shook his head. “No.”
Blake explained, “By using viruses to change the cellular structure of the human body, the individual will gain immense strength. Not only that, he will lose his physical senses and become a ruthless and cold-blooded puppet warrior that only obeys commands.”
He was wearing a surly expression. After taking a deep breath, he continued, “After the Elite Eight of the Southern Plains found me, I began setting up my plan. I infiltrated the research lab and found out about their research program which concerns the development of a terrifying virus. Once consumed, an ordinary man would become a fearless and powerful warrior in a few short days.”
James’ expression turned grim too. He never expected the Emperor to be researching such a terrifying thing in the dark. “How strong can one be after consuming the virus?” he asked.
Blake shook his head. “I don’t know, but they shouldn’t be weaker than an SSS-rank assassin. Perhaps they’d be only a step away from becoming an External Martial Arts master.”
“Do you have any research data?” James asked.
Blake pulled out a USB drive and handed it to James. “The Elite Eight only managed to get their hands on this USB drive this morning. I came here to deliver it to you at once. I haven’t seen the research data yet, so I can’t say for sure what it is.”
James accepted the USB drive.
“The Emperor has secretly gathered many powerful people to his side. As such, he was lulled into a false sense of security. That’s why we managed to get out hands on the research data. Now that the data is leaked, the Elite Eight will have to go into hiding or possibly even leave Sol. The Dark Castle will also keep a low profile. You have to be on your guard, since he may believe that you’re the one behind this,” Blake reminded him.
