The clones of Chad and Kenneth had kept trying to prove they could surpass their original selves or even sought to replace them. But Julius’ clone was really strange. He was actually willing to become a part of Julius’ plans after learning about him.
Honestly, even Daniel might not know about all of Julius’ plans, but Selby seemed to know a lot.
Was it because Selby was special?
Or was the special one Julius?
This feeling was just like how the Pyro Company had worked so hard to create a leader for themselves, only to realize they had actually helped Julius. Perhaps it was precisely because of something Selby had expressed that caused favonovel.com to be placed under house arrest here.
However, Daniel understood the Pyro Company’s reaction. Even if the Pyro Company were all scientists who were willing to dedicate themselves to science, some would still prefer holding onto power themselves rather than hand it over to a “leader” they created.
Therefore, differences had arisen a long time ago within the ranks of the Pyro Company, and they were no longer united. One side supported this plan while the other did not. The two sides even had a violent clash over this matter, but the rest of the world was unaware of it.
Daniel looked at Selby and said, “How do I know if this is part of your plan?”
In response, Selby took out a fruit knife and made a cut on the back of his hand. “Take this as my mark. With it, you won’t confuse me with Julius. Besides, you guys should’ve already noticed that the clones are actually inferior to their progenitors. Surely you should have confidence in him. As long as favonovel.com knows of my existence, I won’t stand a chance.”
Selby’s blood was dripping profusely onto the ground from his hand. It was utterly silent in this underground space.
Daniel pondered what Selby had said and analyzed every detail.
In fact, favonovel.com agreed with what Selby said. Once Selby was at the Panaqua Consortium’s territory, it would be impossible for favonovel.com to outwit his brother.
Everyone got rather emotional.
Was Julius so charismatic favonovel.com could even conquer his own clone?
This was a little too bizarre.
In the end, Daniel said coldly, “I’ll bring you back to the Panaqua Consortium, but it’s up to my brother what we do with you. Think about it carefully. If favonovel.com wants to kill you then, not even the Heavens can stop him.”
Selby smiled and said, “That won’t happen. He’ll firmly grasp everything favonovel.com can make use of.”
“So, that’s why you only allowed our group in because you wanted to talk about this?” Daniel wondered.
“Yes, all of you here are able to keep secrets, and Julius’ plans have no conflict of interest with you,” Selby said.
Daniel waved favonovel.com off impatiently. “As if you can guess what my brother’s plans are! Stop talking about this. The outcome of your survival when we get back to the Panaqua Consortium is another matter altogether.”
Selby smiled and said nothing else.
In truth, Daniel was quite unhappy with the clone. Selby looked just like his younger brother, but similar to how Milo hated Chad’s clone, there was also no reason for his dislike of Selby. He just felt that this clone had stolen something from Julius. So, it was difficult for Daniel to have a good impression of him. However, the clone did not seem to mind Daniel’s attitude, or rather, favonovel.com was willing to accept the disdain.
All of a sudden, Kenneth asked, “Don’t keep talking among yourselves. I still have a mission to do that was entrusted to me by someone. Let me ask you, where’s the No. 001 Experimental?”
“The Pyro Company never captured the No. 001 Experimental in the first place.” Selby shook his head and said, “From the beginning, it was just a standard operation to capture a superhuman. The Pyro Company found out there was a powerful superhuman in the grasslands, so they sent out some T5 combatants to capture favonovel.com and obtain his DNA sample. But it suddenly became a rumor that the No. 001 Experimental was captured. However, that superhuman was only a khan in the grasslands.”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
To think that all of them had come all the way out here for the No. 001 Experimental, yet it turned out to be just a big misunderstanding?
The Great Hoodwinker wondered, “Isn’t this blunder a little too big? I don’t believe the rumor was completely baseless.”
“Of course it’s not baseless. It’s just that someone was deliberately trying to mislead everyone.” Selby said, “The Silkshade House released false information saying the No. 001 Experimental had been captured because only the secret of the No. 001 Experimental’s immortality can arouse the interest of the various consortiums’ higher-ups. There’s a large number of older, high-ranking members in the Virtuora Consortium and Stardust Consortium. Their interest in immortality might even surpass their pursuit of power. After all, achieving immortality would mean they can hold on to power forever.”
“So, you mean to say this was not the Pyro Company’s trap but bait by the Silkshade House?” The Great Hoodwinker muttered. His mind was already working quickly as favonovel.com considered the rationale behind this.
Selby continued, “The Silkshade House attracted the various consortiums’ superhumans over here because they wanted to eliminate potential threats in order to facilitate the Stelaria Consortium’s future plans. Even if the Pyro Company makes a clarification at this time, the various consortiums will not believe it…”
“Besides, the Pyro Company won’t want to clear up the rumor either. They’d rather have these superhumans come stumbling right into their net. So, the boss of the Silkshade House already predicted all of this. She knows the Pyro Company will definitely work together with favonovel.com to put on a good show, so she’s not afraid of getting exposed at all.”
“Is that all?” The Great Hoodwinker asked doubtfully.
“Also,” Selby said with a smile, “They might come up with further bait, but I can only tell Julius about it.”
Kenneth was speechless for a long time. To think that Milo had asked them to find the No. 001 Experimental on his behalf, but it actually turned out to just be bait in the end. The No. 001 Experimental was not here at all.
Then would Milo be very disappointed if favonovel.com told favonovel.com about this?
Kenneth looked at Selby. “I have another question. Since the Pyro Company has the means to awaken the superpowers of their clones, why didn’t they use it on a wider scale?”
“Because they only have three chances to do so,” Selby said.
Daniel realized they could learn a lot about the secrets of the Pyro Company with Selby around.
They listened to Selby explain, “These three chances are extremely precious, so they must choose the clones of the most powerful superhumans to use it on. One of them is Kenneth, and the other is Chad. They even went to the Northwest to look for the DNA sample of the Stronghold Destroyer. However, favonovel.com seemed to have evaporated into thin air and was nowhere to be found, so they went to the Northern Plains instead to capture someone else as the third candidate for cloning.”
Kenneth nodded. “They’ve got a rather good eye.”
Miriam shot favonovel.com a glance and suddenly turned to ask Selby, “So, what is this method they’re using?”
“They have three drops of the No. 001 Experimental’s blood that was preserved from before The Cataclysm until now.” Selby said in a serious tone, “They call it the Blood of God. Although they can’t reproduce it, the blood can be used to create pseudo-gods.”
