Yang Dian attempted to regain his focus and approached the laptop screen. He, too, was stunned.
The files on the thumb drive were part of the data Han Xiao had obtained by hacking into the research institution. Every Death Virus research project was clearly documented to focus on enhancing physical abilities and biochemical weapons. No mention was made of the cure Kate had discussed.
It was also noted that the exploration team sent into the Robert Forbidden Zone had been gathering materials for physical ability enhancement research.
"This is real? Could he be lying?"
"He could have easily killed us. Why would he lie to us?"
Yang Dian and Ned gradually shifted from shock to anger.
They realized they had been naive from start to finish, manipulated by the Louis Research Institution. They could not believe how gullible they were to accept one-sided claims from these people, making their persistence feel like a joke.
No wonder the mysterious warrior in the mechanical suit did not kill them. He likely deemed them pitiful and instead chose to expose the truth.
Yang Dian was so ashamed and embarrassed he wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
They kept calling themselves superheroes, but they were saved by a stranger deemed a villain twice! If the mysterious man had not revealed the truth, they would still be oblivious.
"Too bad we don’t know his name. If we did, I’d definitely apologize in person." Ned muttered.
Yang Dian nodded heavily. With rage burning inside, he called Kate. "You’ve been lying to us!"
Kate sounded stunned. "What did I lie about?"
"You’ve been using us. You made us risk our lives for your gain. The exploration team and the cure were all fake!"
"That’s fake. You’re overthinking." Kate replied, her tone becoming cold.
"Still lying?!" Yang Dian snapped. He then stated the project serial number.
The other end of the call remained silent for a moment before Kate replied in a cold tone—she gave up pretending. "So what? What do you want to do, or rather, what can you do?"
"I…" Yang Dian was furious, but he suddenly froze.
Kate’s tone was full of sarcasm as she hung up. "Humph, Superhero."
Yang Dian held the phone and froze. His aura shifted rapidly.
Ned immediately felt a chill. He asked quickly, "Are you alright?"
Yang Dian shook his head and lowered the phone. "I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be? Heh.
He laughed inanely.
...
The research institution was in disarray. High-ranking officials were sweating as they negotiated with the military.
Kate was annoyed. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way after luring the wolf into the room. No one had dared to meddle with the research institution before. They had powerful financial backing and would pursue anyone who stirred the tiger’s wrath—chasing them down without mercy.
After contacting the financial organizations backing them, the groups were all Understandably furious. Kate, posing as the Germinal Organization’s executive officer Heisenberg, had a mechanical suit with extremely advanced tech—convincing enough that the Germinal Organization became a target for everyone’s wrath. It was like a mouse strutting down the street; everyone wanted to squish it.
The financial organizations agreed not only to let Western Continent’s intelligence agencies investigate this person thoroughly but also to donate funds to the Six Nations’ expedition through military contributions.
The reason these financial organizations overreacted was because they urgently needed a batch of drugs stolen from them among the loot. Therefore, they were willing to spend even more money to recover it!
Kate was already annoyed enough. He didn’t care about the superheroes confronting him or them discovering the truth.
Because superheroes would never hold grudges over such trivial matters.
Thus, Kate was calm and had nothing to fear.
...
Han Xiao removed the mechanical suit, changed his face, and blended into the crowd.

Han Xiao waited a while, but no new notifications appeared. That’s it? What use are these impressions? He’d never even heard of these two before, so they were probably insignificant.
Han Xiao sighed. It was a reasonable reward, but he would’ve preferred experience points.
Never mind. The biggest prize was these drugs.
Han Xiao chuckled as he looked down at the bulging package in his hands.
When he requisitioned... that’s wrong, when he stole... the drugs from the Louis Research Institution’s exhibition hall were almost every type of drug.
He randomly checked into a small hotel and, as usual, first扫了扫周围是否有监控摄像头 before opening his backpack and taking out all the various drugs to arrange them in rows.
Let’s see if there’s anything useful. Han Xiao rubbed his hands. He’d heard that one’s luck would rise if their palms were warm.

Green Lizard Drug (Medium Concentration 23.3%): Made from Green Lizard Genes. This creature is lazy. After drinking this, you’ll feel calm.
_________________________
Han Xiao stared in disbelief for three seconds. Then he stood up in rage and threw it on the floor.
Green my ass, what’s the point of inventing this kind of drug! I would’ve been luckier if I used my feet!
Looking at this pile of colorful drugs, Han Xiao felt like a black cloud of bad luck was hovering above him.
Let’s hope the other drugs are better.
He continued searching. There were a total of 34 types of drugs, and luckily, there wasn’t another one as useless as the Green Lizard drug.
Some of the useful drugs were pretty great.
There was a high-concentration Death Virus Enhancement Drug, which had a much stronger effect than the one Kate gave. It provided a permanent attribute boost and increased the chance of awakening rare talents by at least three times.

Wild Rhinoceros Steroid: Harvested from the heart of wild rhinoceroses. Injection grants +5 STR, +5 END. Lasts five minutes. A second injection within 30 minutes has no effect.
_________________________
Thunder Claw Beast Extract: Harvested from the bodily fluids of Thunder Claw Beasts. +12% melee attack for the next five attacks.
_________________________
Stone Plaque Pathogen: Infected users with Stone Plaque.

There were three types of drugs—temporary enhancement drugs, disease-spreading drugs, and rare permanent attribute boost drugs like the Death Virus Enhancement Drug.
Some permanent enhancement drugs could only be used once, while others could be reused. The Eagle Predator Drug was the former, and the Death Virus Drug was the latter.
That’s why players were so passionate about entering the Forbidden Zone and killing the BOSS. Usually, it was a competition between major guilds.
_________________________
You used the Eagle Predator Drug.
+3 DEX.
_________________________
There were four bottles of Death Virus Drug. Han Xiao took a short break and finished them all in one go. His Strength, Dexterity, and Endurance all increased by four, and the high-concentration bottle awakened a rare talent.
