"Desmond Blu!"
In a hurry, Nathaniel shouted in panic. He didn't dare to stop his pace as he hurriedly dodged aside.
Desmond paused his movements slightly, and his scarlet eyes stared straight at Nathaniel. However, he immediately came back to his senses and quickly attacked Nathaniel again.
At this moment, Queena and Dennis had already followed from behind. They were in shock when they saw Desmond attacking Nathaniel. Just then, Dennis hurriedly said, "Distract Desmond's attention and protect Nathaniel."
Several people around him quickly followed up, and Nathaniel was relieved.
Meanwhile, Dennis took the opportunity to pull Nathaniel away.
"Dad..."
Nathaniel was flustered and was left speechless. However, Desmond was so strong that he directly sent these people flying.
At this time, Tristan appeared out of nowhere. He was holding a needle in his hand as he quickly jumped behind Desmond and gave him an injection.
"Owh..."
Desmond howled like a beast and kicked Tristan away. His scarlet eyes looked even more terrifying.
Nathaniel's heart was beating rapidly. He wanted to help, but his mind was blank. Just then, he saw Desmond lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
Only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Nathaniel was a little stunned, but he heard Tristan crying painfully, "Nathan, come and help me up. Hey, my ribs are almost broken."
After hearing this, the corner of Nathaniel's mouth twitched.
Was it really the sound of his broken ribs?
Nathaniel walked over and pulled Tristan up. Then, he was surprised to see the number of injuries on Tristan's hands.
"Hey! Why did you torture yourself this way?"
"Huh? I'm not like you, I won't torture myself."
Tristan patted the dirt off his body and said in a low voice, "I extracted my blood to carry out the blood transfusion for Desmond. Desmond and my blood type are exactly the same, so no one else can do it except for me."
When Tristan mentioned Desmond, Nathaniel's eyes darkened a little.
"What's going on? Didn't they say he was not violent?"
"Will Mango feel at ease if we don't say so?"
Tristan sighed, and Nathaniel immediately understood his intentions.
After that, Nathaniel followed as Dennis and Queena sent Desmond to the underground laboratory.
The door and glass here were all made of antiexplosive materials. However, the door had been destroyed. As expected, this was done by Desmond.
It seemed that Desmond's destructive power was too great.
After settling down Desmond, the security system was activated. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Nathaniel felt uncomfortable upon seeing Desmond being trapped here like a dangerous person. He knew Mango would be even more upset if she had seen it. Hence, he finally understood the reason Dennis and the others were hiding this matter from Mango.
"You can't hide this from Mango forever! She will definitely find out sooner or later."
Everyone became silent when they heard what he had said.
"What's going on? Didn't you guys say that the violent elements in Desmond's body will not be triggered that quickly?"
Nathaniel had truly believed their words before. However, he was extremely worried now that he saw Desmond in such a state.
Queena asked Nathaniel to sit down and served him a glass of water. Then, Dennis looked at Nathaniel and whispered, "It should have been no problem, but..."
When Tristan saw that Dennis hesitated to speak, he decided to continue.
"Desmond was not violent while in Angolla's military laboratory. Everything was like what we said before. It was a trap! His true nature was triggered once he came here, and his violence caught people off guard all of a sudden."
After hearing Tristan's words, Nathaniel understood the meaning behind his words.
"Did this happen because of the laboratory explosion? The animals around were infected, so Desmond was also infected?"
Tristan nodded in reply after hearing Nathaniel's
question.
"But why are you all fine? Is Desmond different from you?"
Nathaniel quickly caught the point.
Tristan glanced at him and whispered, "Desmond has a beast's genes in his body, to begin with. I think it was Jose who modified his genes and injected them into his body. Also, I heard that Desmond's mother went crazy and became disabled after being injected. Jose had sent people to watch over her until she gave birth to Desmond. Even so, Desmond's live was still on the line while he was just born. Hence, Jose was the one who saved him with all the medicines and finally revived him after half a year. Therefore, Desmond's blood is previous because it was cultivated by the most precious medicines in the world. However, no one knew the medicines he had consumed and the genetic formation in his body. Also, I'm sure that Jose's research never showed him these results. Now, he couldn't suppress the violent elements in his body after the lab exploded. Therefore, we had no choice but to lock him up."
Although Nathaniel didn't understand what they were doing, he understood the importance of their actions. After all, Queena and Dennis had hidden it from them as they considerate Mango.
Well, Mango was the one who had saved Desmond's life. She would probably be concerned if she were to find out about Desmond's current situation. Furthermore, she wasn't in a good health either. By right, she should be resting at The Ye's Mansion instead of traveling here because of what had happened to Tristan and Desmond.
At this thought, Nathaniel glanced at Dennis and Queena. Then, he said in a low voice, "Don't worry. I won't tell Mango about this, but you can't hide it from her forever. ."
"Let's keep it a secret for as long as we can. I'm really worried about her health."
Queena felt distressed for Mango as she said these words.
She wasn't by her daughter's side when the latter needed her the most. However, she couldn't be honest with her now and this feeling was really terrible.
