“You can tell from my current situation that the Wakanda are very interested in the Zodiac Potion on us, but after a year of research, they haven’t made much progress. However, they did accidentally cure my amnesia!” Michael replied.

“I see. Tell me something only you and I know to prove it!” Carter nodded in agreement with Michael’s explanation, but for safety’s sake, she still asked another question.

“Of course, in 1927, it was a hero fighting a dragon!” Michael answered without hesitation.

This was a childhood nightmare for Michael—Carter was playing Dragon Quest by himself on the grass, a game where a princess is kidnapped by a dragon and a knight comes to rescue her.

However, young Carter didn't see herself as a princess, but as a knight!

Michael, who was already a head taller than Carter, secretly snatched Carter's wooden sword from behind, only to be pushed down and pinned to the ground by Carter.

It was from that time on that he never won a fight against his younger sister.

That could be considered a childhood trauma for him.

“Very good! Michael, you’ve saved yourself a beating!” Carter’s face finally broke into a smile when he heard Michael recount his childhood anecdotes. He then raised his sword and, to the astonishment of Michael and the other two, cleaved open the isolation room.

"Stay close if you want to live!" Carter said, then turned and walked away without looking back.

She was preparing to support her two comrades, who were both super soldiers, but for some reason, Carter felt uneasy.

Michael and his two companions, who had been rescued, exchanged glances with Fritz and his group, who had also been rescued by Carter, and followed in Carter's footsteps without hesitation.

..........................................

At the same time, in New York.

It was around 4 p.m. in Wakanda, but around 9 a.m. in New York.

Inside a sports social club in New York, the nine board members gathered together.

This council meeting was initiated by Calvin Chadwick.

"Tell me, Calvin, why did you suddenly call this meeting?" Thomas, sitting at the head of the table, asked Calvin, who was sitting to his left.

"Gentlemen, the reason I've suddenly gathered you all here is to share some good news: Aetheran has made a new breakthrough in the research on zero matter!" Calvin Chadwick stood up and announced triumphantly.

“Oh? That’s certainly good news. Show it to us!” Thomas said after exchanging glances with the board members, including Josie.

"Please allow me to introduce Mr. Jason Wilkes, the chief scientist of the Zero Matter Project at the Aetheran Group!" As Calvin Chadwick announced, a black man in a suit walked in through the small door of the conference room.

Upon seeing the black man's appearance, all the board members instinctively frowned.

Why a Black man? What is Calvin Chadwick up to?

This was the first thought in the minds of all the board members.

After all, whether it's as an external club or a council, one of the important conditions for joining is that everyone must be a pure white person—without a trace of mixed race.

However, Calvin Chadwick has now openly brought a black man into the club, which is a taboo.

Even if the other party is a scientist.

"Ah, Jason, it seems the board members aren't too happy about your presence!" Calvin said with a hint of mockery, looking at the board members' expressions.

“I believe they will soon accept my existence, sir!” A smile appeared on Jason’s face, and he gently raised his right hand, a strange black fluid appearing in his palm.

Upon seeing the appearance of this black fluid, all the directors except Hugh Jones instinctively shuddered.

Because in that instant, the temperature in the conference room dropped by at least several degrees.

"Calvin, what exactly do you want?" Thomas, the council leader who sensed something was wrong with Calvin and Jason's behavior, immediately questioned.

"What are we going to do? Change the world, of course!" Calvin said with a sneer. "And the first step is to start with the council... From today onwards, I'm in charge here!"

"What kind of pipe dream are you having!" Thomas roared in fury. "Guards!"

At Thomas's command, several burly men carrying guns rushed in from outside.

However, before these people could sit down, Jason behind Calvin moved. The black fluid in his hand instantly flew out and expanded upon contact with several thugs, quickly engulfing and swallowing them up.

In just a few seconds, several well-trained thugs vanished from the world.

"See that? This is zero matter, this is power! Old man, I've had my hated you for a long time, Jason, take him down!" Calvin said arrogantly, pointing at Thomas.

With his command, the Zero Matter in Jason's hand shot out instantly, attached itself to Thomas, and devoured him completely amidst his wails.

“Now, I’m in charge of the council. Who’s in favor, who’s against?” Calvin’s sinister gaze swept over the faces of the remaining seven council members, finally settling on the person he had always disliked the most, Josie.

“That was brilliant… Hugh, what do you think?” Seeing Calvin’s gaze linger on him, Josie smiled slightly and then looked at Hugh Jones sitting opposite her.

"Tch, just an idiot blinded by power!" Hugh Jones scoffed at Josie's words.

However, apart from the two of them, everyone else, including Alfred Malik, kept their heads down and dared not speak, all of them intimidated by the zero-matter power that Jason had displayed.

"You two are courting death!" Hearing their mocking words, Calvin was enraged. Didn't these two realize that he was the one in control now? "Jansen, take them down!"

At Calvin's command, the Zero Matter in Jason's hand flew out again, heading towards the two of them respectively.

This time, however, the zero matter did not successfully attach itself to Josie and Hugh Jones as Calvin and Jason had predicted.

With a loud bang, just a second before the zero matter was about to attach to his body, Hugh Jones turned into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared from his seat.

On the other side, Josie was even simpler and more direct; with a flash of light, she disappeared instantly!

This situation greatly alarmed Calvin Chadwick.

The remaining board members all lamented, inwardly complaining that Josie and Hugh Jones only cared about saving their own lives.

But there was nothing they could do at that moment; they could only try to appease Calvin temporarily.

As for what happens next, that depends on what Josie and Hugh Jones have up their sleeves.

What they didn't know was that Josie and Hugh Jones, who seemed to have escaped Calvin's control so easily, were not having an easy time at all.

When Josie reappeared, he was back at a secret Ouroboros base in Chicago, accompanied by Vito, who had been secretly informed by Josie hours earlier.

The two people, one hugging a toilet and the other a washbasin, were vomiting violently.

The feeling of time travel is something only those who have experienced it truly understand.

Meanwhile, Hugh Jones from New York appeared in a building next to the club, hugging the original owner of the house and inhaling deeply.

He had previously used a vampire-style escape magic, which was very effective, but due to his own limitations, he couldn't escape very far, and it consumed a great deal of energy.

However, it's more than enough for escaping.

This is my first separate chapter, about updates and thanks.

Dust has a rather laid-back personality. This is the first time writing a separate chapter. I also posted my first book review a few days ago. I even forgot to write a launch message when the book was released.

This section mainly explains the update issue.

As you may have noticed, there has been only one update per week for the past week or so, but each update is actually a combined chapter with a minimum of 4-6K words, so the total amount is the same as the previous double updates.

The main purpose of doing this is to increase the average price.

This book currently has an average of 7,500 subscriptions, with a very small chance of reaching 10,000 subscriptions.

Although I have a lazy and easygoing personality, I still have a tiny bit of dreams, so I'll try to earn as much as possible.

Thank you all for your continued support, especially the monthly tickets at the end of last month. Thanks to everyone's help, especially the donations from several readers, I was able to reach the required amount at the last minute. Thank you so much!

Once again, I would like to thank many readers, including Huoyan Dayi, Dadao Wujiang, Shuyou20220420093310319, Benbenda Xiaogui, Yinggelis, and Xuxin Xiaodaoyou, for their generous donations and help.

Also, please allow me to shamelessly ask for monthly votes again!

Chapter 168 Response

With a screech, an ordinary family car pulled up in front of the Continental Hotel in downtown Chicago. Jia Ying got out of the car and hurriedly went into the hotel.

After passing through the hotel lobby, Jia Ying went straight to the hotel kitchen.

The kitchen staff, seeing that it was Jia Ying who had come, pretended not to see her and continued with their work.

Jia Ying didn't linger there, but instead went through the kitchen and into the cold storage.

Opening the cold storage room and walking through the various kinds of meat hanging everywhere, Jia Ying walked to the innermost part of the cold storage room and pulled down a switch on the wall marked with an emergency sign.

Then the cold storage wall suddenly opened, revealing a downward staircase in front of her.

As she stepped onto the stairs, the interior wall of the cold storage behind her closed again.

After descending the stairs, there was a large gate, with two burly guards standing at the entrance.

Upon seeing Jia Ying arrive, he hurriedly opened the door and welcomed her inside.

After entering the gate and turning several corners, passing through layers of guards, Jia Ying finally arrived at a luxurious lounge, where she saw Qiao Xi reclining on a lavish sofa with an ice pack on her head.

Vito stayed by his side.

"You're here. Is Margot and the children all settled?" Josie asked weakly when she saw Jia Ying come in.

Calvin Chadwick's sudden attack at the council meeting was truly unexpected.

Fortunately, Josh has always been very safety-conscious and had prepared various escape methods for himself.

This time, the technology used was provided by Yuri, from the world of Red Alert: hyperspace teleportation.

Of course, it's not that super weapon, the time-space teleporter.

After all, the Hypercontrol Teleporter is a behemoth capable of transporting a large army, and its construction is extremely difficult. Even with Yuri's technical support, it would be quite difficult to complete quickly, requiring various sophisticated instruments and equipment.

So far, the relevant information about this thing is only stored in Josh's system repository as a technical reserve.
