Meanwhile, in Bourne's laboratory.
While organizing the documents, Byrne happened to glance at his phone and saw the horrific scene of Perlman's death in the official live stream.
In the quiet live broadcast room, the last words left by Perlman before his death echoed faintly through the trembling camera lens.
The CEO is researching... the demons; he wants to... overthrow... New Elidu!
Byrne's eyes flickered slightly as he grabbed his phone from the table. His face, hidden behind his collar, showed a hint of emotion upon hearing Perlman's last words, and his eyes trembled slightly: "The plan... huh?"
Suddenly, Bourne let out a surprised exclamation.
With a furrowed brow, the door to the private lab was flung open, and the CEO of TOPS Financial Alliance barged in with a large group of people.
Each of them was wearing heat-resistant clothing and carrying a flashlight.
A dozen flashlights were turned on at once, and beams of intense light swarmed onto Bourne, causing him to scream in agony as the high-intensity ultraviolet rays burned his body!
Bourne quickly raised his hand to shield his face from the direct sunlight.
However, black smoke continued to swirl around his body. If it continued to burn like this, it wouldn't be long before Bourne was burned to ashes!
"A heat-resistant suit specifically for vampires? No wonder I didn't find it..."
Byrne gritted his teeth, his peripheral vision catching glimpses of the outsider's shoes, all hidden beneath the white thermal suit's trouser legs.
Being unable to see heat is equivalent to being invisible in a vampire's field of vision... Tsk, the vampire's advantage has been taken advantage of.
"Weapons are extremely difficult to destroy, and they can be reborn through bloodlust. Yet they fear exposure to the sunlight that everyone can enjoy. Vampires, what weirdos!"
With a low sigh, the bright light was suddenly partially blocked, and the CEO stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Bourne, filled with murderous intent, as he opened his mouth to speak.
However, despite the excruciating pain, Byrne suddenly interjected earnestly, "Enjoy? Your Excellency, staying in bright light all the time will give you skin cancer."
"Well…"
The CEO paused for a moment, then immediately shrank behind his bodyguards without thinking. He coughed, and the bodyguards immediately withdrew their strange gazes and continued to shine their flashlights at Bourne.
In short…
Suddenly interrupted by Byrne, the CEO's murderous intent inexplicably dissipated somewhat. He held his hand in front of his chin and said in a deep voice, "For the sake of our past as colleagues, I'll give you three seconds to come up with your last words. Start thinking now, Byrne."
Bourne said very seriously, "I don't want to die."
"I'm asking you to think of your last words, not to dream. You know, betraying TOPS Financial Alliance and siding with the city's top officials will never end well."
The CEO waved his hand and ordered, "Go!"
At his command, half of the bodyguards immediately removed their flashlights, reached for their lower backs, and pulled out flamethrowers.
He raised his hand, pulled the trigger, and flames, like long snakes, tore at and licked at Bourne's clothes.
When the flames have completely burned him away, leaving Bourne naked, that will be the day he turns to ashes!
But suddenly, a dark shadow emerged from the floor.
With its back to the CEO and others, it emitted an eerie black light the moment it appeared, obscuring all other light.
A fierce wind immediately arose, and the weak flames of the flamethrowers were instantly pushed aside and extinguished.
"Is this a demon?"
The CEO raised his hand, his eyes slightly squinting from the sudden gust of wind that arose after the ghostly beasts appeared.
Was it developed by the vampire clan?
But why is it turning its back to us, and looking like it's about to attack Bourne?
But if it wasn't developed by the vampire clan, then... wait!
Suddenly, the CEO had a flash of inspiration, his eyes widened, as if he understood everything.
But it was too late!
The ghostly beast roared at Bourne and pounced on him the next second.
Without the blinding light of the flashlight, Bourne could finally let his guard down. Seeing the ghostly beast suddenly pounce, Bourne looked quite surprised and exclaimed in fear:
"You actually managed to develop a beast-like monster? When did that happen?"
Then, before anyone could react, the ghostly beast's enormous hands clenched into fists, and abundant ethereal energy erupted in an instant, like a mountain pressing down on Bourne.
Byrne raised his arm to take the hit, but he couldn't withstand it at all. The immense force forced him to kneel on one knee, and even the laboratory floor cracked slightly.
puff!
