Chapter 301
You quickly analyze and optimize. You’re far better than that Flic.
Noelle replied, “If your emotional testing experiment had succeeded, there’s no doubt you would have been the perfect new human the lab was looking for. But since the test failed, you’ll die here today.”
Brandon laughed darkly, “Who’s to say who will die?”
He pulled his hand away from the shoulder wound, and Noelle could see the injury healing rapidly, the blood stopping. He smiled. “The damage you’ve caused is useless.”
Noelle stood up, her eyes hard with determination. “Same here.”
Her healing ability was extraordinary. Each time she recovered from an injury, her healing powers grew stronger.
Brandon’s smile deepened. “Noelle, you’re truly impressive.”
Noelle shot back. “And you’re the worst.”
With that, Noelle darted away again.
Brandon chuckled lightly. “You’re going to play hide-and-seek with me, Noelle?”
Noelle didn’t answer him, disappearing into the corridors.
Brandon’s smile faded slightly as he grew serious. He followed after her.
Noelle hid in a brightly lit laboratory. The lights were all on, blindingly bright. But Noelle closed her eyes and adapted to the darkness.
When someone walks from the bright into a dark area, their eyes briefly experience a moment of blindness. Noelle planned to use that to her advantage.
As Brandon entered the room, Noelle swiftly turned off the main lights, plunging the room into darkness.
She opened her eyes, ready to strike.
But this time, Noelle miscalculated.
As she charged, Brandon’s keen senses and sharp reflexes allowed him to see her coming. In an instant, he disarmed her, knocking her to the ground with a heavy blow that hit her chest.
Noelle gasped in pain as she was sent crashing to the ground, her vision swimming.
Brandon pinned her to the floor with an eerie calmness, his voice low and mocking. “Noelle, the game...”
Noelle coughed up blood, struggling to breathe, unable to move under his weight.
Defeated, she lay there, glaring at Brandon. “If you want to kill me, then do it.”
Brandon produced a knife, aimed at her heart. “I’ll give you one last chance. If you agree to come with me now, I won’t kill you.”
Noelle answered coldly. “In your dreams.”
“Do you really want to provoke me?” Brandon’s voice dropped, darkening with menace.
Noelle retorted fiercely, “I’m just telling the truth. If I agree now, I’d be lying, because I truly despise you.”
With that, Noelle gathered her strength, leaning forward and biting down on the spot where Brandon had been injured.
Brandon grunted in pain, shoving Noelle away. But Noelle, grinning triumphantly, revealed her bloodstained teeth. “I coated my teeth with poison. The bite has already sent the poison into your bloodstream.”
Brandon’s face shifted between rage and disbelief. He looked at her, then suddenly smiled. “Noelle, you really will stop at nothing to kill...”
Noelle’s eyes burned with resolve. “If killing you means I die too, it will still be worth it.”
Brandon’s gaze turned lethal.
Noelle knew, without a doubt, that he was now truly intent on killing her.
Chapter 301
Brandon had been poisoned. It wouldn’t kill him, but it would slow him down. Nicolas would come with reinforcements soon, and once that happened, Brandon wouldn’t be able to escape.
Just as Brandon swung the knife down, his movements suddenly hesitated. A complex emotion flickered in his eyes–one Noelle couldn’t decipher.
But Noelle didn’t care.
Brandon paused, and that was her opening.
She lunged at him, headbutting him with all her strength. Brandon staggered back, and she swiftly took advantage of his weakened state, pinning him down.
She grabbed the knife lying nearby and drove it straight into his heart.
