Garrick's mind had become utterly obsessed with rebooting the Polaris Star Project.
The thought made him incredibly bitter.
"If it hadn't been for... stepping down, I wouldn't have been kicked out of the Polaris Star Project. Those old fools deserve to rot!"
Noella knew that Garrick had been ousted by the old guard of the Polaris Star.
With their backers pulling out and chaos reigning within, Garrick had no choice but to withdraw.
Nolan flipped Garrick the bird.
"Despicable old geezer."
If it weren't for Garrick, they wouldn't have ended up orphans!
Just seeing Garrick's face made them want to hurl!
And now he had the audacity to consider exhuming Harriet's grave to see what was inside her head.
Disgusting!
That old coot actually thought Noella could take all of Polaris Star's talents because Harriet had taken some secret weapon?
But it was all Noella's doing, conquering them one by one!
Every member of the Polaris Star was a genius, with the willpower to survive those inhuman experiments!
And yet, Noella had bested them all.
Garrick had been investigating the current members of the Polaris Star.
He realized that rebooting the project would be too costly, and it was better to just train the current members!
Cassius was seething.
"I was so close to success, but the Schnabel family wouldn't cooperate, or else I could have taken the grave...”
Garrick replied irritably, "Do you think Marcel is an idiot? I was counting on having Elara work for me, and you've messed it up!"
Garrick had always admired Elara for her brains!
So young and already shining in the field of science, if he could have her intellect under his control, he'd exploit it ruthlessly!
Thinking about his experiments, Garrick's spirits soared.
"Noella's got a sharp mind too, pity... she's too rebellious! The Schnabel family too, their sons would have made excellent specimens."
Thinking about the Schnabel kids, Garrick's eyes gleamed with a fanatical obsession.
Such talents, but Marcel was too old-fashioned, refusing to send his grandsons for experimentation. Otherwise, the Polaris Star's brilliance would be unmatched!
Suddenly, Garrick and his companions felt the ground give way beneath them!
It was as if they had stepped on something soft, and amid a whirlwind of confusion, a series of screams erupted.
"Ah ah ah—"
"Garrick, are you okay?"
When Garrick opened his eyes, he found himself having stepped into a trap, with everyone sprawled in disarray.
His head was buzzing!
"Who dug a hole here? How could there be a hole out of nowhere!"
And not just any hole, but a massive one. Not very wide, but incredibly deep.
At least ten feet deep, Garrick felt like he had broken every bone in his body!
From above, a light laugh echoed.
Noella was squatting at the edge, resting her chin on her hands, looking down at Garrick in the pit.
"Oh my, if it isn't Garrick? What's this, a fall outing? Why stray from the path, preferring wild adventure? Quite the taste for the wilderness!"
Wilderness?
She calls this wilderness? They had clearly fallen into a trap she had dug!
In that moment, Garrick realized it was all Noella's doing.
"Outrageous! Pull us up now!"
Noella chuckled.
