My Evil Stepson System

Dr Orion leaned even further forward and grimaced.

'Will it finally work?'

'Will I be able to see some results?'

Peter's eyes shot open and he began to laugh hysterically until his eyes and nose began to leak blood. He placed his hands on his face and screamed in pain.

He continued to do this for the next few minutes until his body lolled helplessly on the ground.

"He isn't breathing. How disappointing," Mr Edward uttered out cheerlessly but before he could turn around to see Dr Orion's face, a boisterous laughter echoed behind him.

"I see you've finally lost your mind,"

"On the contrary Mr Edward, my mind is where it has always been. After witnessing what occurred just now, I'm proud to say that it was without a doubt, a success,"

"What?!!"

Mr Edward knows how hard , Dr Orion has been working on improving mistletoe for months.

His goal has always been to create a new gram that would be capable of instantaneously transforming people into awakened.

But after so many failed results, his goal was beginning to look like a pipe dream.

However, this was the best result he had seen in months but even Edward finds it odd for the doctor to say this.

"How can you call this a success? Didn't he just died?"

"He did. In fact, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a cannibal but you're missing the main point Mr Edward," 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"I am?"

"Indeed. A few years back, a group of scientists experimented on how much the human body could absorb cocaine before dying out,"

"Really?"

"Yes, but the wonderful thing that occurred was that in the middle of the experiment, a bunch of test subjects fell into a vegetative state of coma,"

Mr Edward narrowed his eyes and turned to the unconscious Peter in the other room.

"I see, so you're saying he isn't dead?"

"Oh, he is,"

"Then what's the point of saying all this?"

"Patience Mr Edward,"

Edward became silent as he tried to assimilate everything the doctor was trying to tell him. Previous experience had made Edward to know that it was best to leave the doctor to say whatever the h.e.l.l he wants.

Although annoying, Edward couldn't deny how brilliant the doctor was. He was still of immense use to Ares as well.

Edward drifted his mind back to the doctor and listened further.

"Peter didn't just die. Just before he let out his last breath, he exhibited the same traits those test subjects had a few years back. He went into an unbearable amount of hysterics before finally succumbing to the drug,"

"But that was cocaine and this is mistletoe, tell me how this all makes sense?"

"Unlike cocaine, mistletoe is known to be three times more addictive, but the amount of stimulus Peter went through was too much for his body to handle. So instead of going into a similar vegetative state of coma, he went into something more.... permanent,"

"Hmm, I see. Now I understand. Then I suppose you've come up with a way to tackle our current predicament?"

"Indeed. At first I was worried by the amount of crystal fog I should solidify, so I solidified a large amount of it and it turned out to be a bit too much. Now, all I just need to do is reduce the amount of crystal fog that will be solidified so that it will match what a human body can absorb without any repercussions,"

"If this works, will the test subjects be able to immediately transform into awakened?"

"Indeed. They'll become the perfect human evolution,"

"Then delay no further. We should...." Mr Edward was interrupted by the sound of a loud explosion coming from the top of the building.

Were they under attack?

Here? In this frigid mountains?

Just when Edward was trying to make sense of it all, two guards ran into the room where he and Dr Orion were.

"What was that?"

"We're under attack sir!!"

"What!!!"

A few minutes before the explosion occurred.

Kevin tightened his black gloves and looked out from the window of the large cargo plane they were in. For the past few days, a lot had happened while Kevin and his men formulated a strategy on how to take down the factory.

Axel had been ordered to play the role of Christopher Mormon so that Ned Baratheon and his companion wouldn't suspect anything.

Instead, Victoria used her mask to play the role of the fake Max. Since she was now him, she instead decided to visit Kevin a few number of times during the week where the two would talk privately and try to catch up on the times they've been apart from each other.

To the outside world, it would seem like Max was trying to gain some closure with his son, but that wasn't really the case.

It was all a plan in preparation for today.

Wolfgang and his men were also busy getting their weapons ready while Kevin stood alone. He already informed them on what the plan was today. So everyone knew what role they had to play.

But Wolfgang and his men were as energetic as they had always been. Just being able to go on a mission like this was the sort of excitement they had been waiting for ever since Kevin gave Wolfgang a call a few days ago.

They were eager to give it their all for the King of the underground.

"Five minutes to drop, boss"

One of Wolfgang men shouted from the side and Kevin nodded while looking at the sea of white that only had one black dot in its center. This was their target. The research facility where all the production of mistletoe came from.
