Chapter 292 Headshot
Her corset was just a wavy metal strip, with a metal skirt at the waist, barely 10 inches long. The rest was all sheer fabric.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, her beautiful legs and fragrant shoulders visible under the sheer fabric, hazy and alluring. More importantly, she had this natural body fragrance.
Two butterflies flew in from outside the window, landing on her arm, overlapping each other.
As for the two wounds on her body, the one on her arm was manageable, but the other was a slash running from her shoulder to her chest. It couldn't be treated properly unless she undressed.
Elbert scratched his head slightly, "Will my reputation as a gentleman be ruined? No choice! Saving her is more important!"
Elbert gritted his teeth and reached for Harper's corset.
Downstairs, the door lock clicked open. A slightly plump woman, carrying a bag of groceries and humming an unknown tune, slowly walked into the house.
This was the lady of the house, Connor's wife.
She put down the groceries and then went to a corner of the living room, kneeling devoutly to worship.
In front of her was a delicate golden portrait, a veiled female saint sat on a cushion, mysterious and solemn in the picture.
Connor's wife finished her prayers, she stared at the portrait in a daze, muttering to herself, "Great Saint Harper, you are so beautiful. We can only look up to you."
"Look at you, beautiful and holy, no man in the world is worthy of you. If anyone dares to desecrate you, I, Scarlett, will be the first to beat him up," Connor's wife said.
Suddenly, Scarlettheard a noise from the upstairs bedroom; she was stunned.
"Is that Connor? But I didn't see his car? A thief!" Scarlett thought.
Scarlett grabbed a vase from nearby and then she cautiously crept upstairs.
At the bedroom door, she was sure someone was inside.
Her fierce nature exploded and she instantly pushed open the wooden door.
In an instant, Scarlett was dumbfounded!
'Isn't that the Saint Harper I respect the most? She is unconscious! That man, he is touching the saint's chest!'Scarlett thought.
Scarlett broke out a high-pitched scream, almost piercing eardrums.
"You perverted creep!" Scarlett raised the vase high.
White dust scattered, hitting Elbert on the head!
Elbert was in a daze and unprepared.
Vase shards were still falling from his head.
Of course, with Elbert's physique, even a thousand vases wouldn't harm him.
"Ma'am, calm down and listen to me," Elbert said coldly.
"Shut up! Take your hand off her chest! You perverted desecrator of the saint!" Scarlett shouted crazily, continuously grabbing items nearby and throwing them at Elbert.
As the bedroom descended into chaos, the sound of urgent brakes came from the yard. Connor got out of the car and heard the commotion upstairs.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw the continuously attacked Elbert, who gave a stiff and awkward smile.
"Oh! My God!" Connor pulled at his hair again, "Scarlett, stop! You've misunderstood!"
At this moment, in an abandoned theater in Starglow City, a burly man sat on a huge chair in the center of the stage under dim lights.
There were no audience members below, and it was eerily quiet.
An elderly man with silver hair, wearing a doctor's coat, slowly walked onto the stage. "Sir, our attack on Evalia was a big success. Except for Harper, Evalia only has one modified person left!"
"Hound 32 is already hunting Harper! I believe within three days, Evalia's modified people will be completely wiped out, and we can move on to the next target," he said.
The tall figure on the chair let out a sinister laugh. "Evalia was really too weak. We don't need to worry about such weak countries in the future. Once we're done here, we'll advance to Veridiania."
"Soon, our 'Perseus' will become a terrifying presence internationally. By then, we can create our own empire and become a dominant force!" he added.
Perseus, a powerful organization that had recently risen, was like 'Hercules,' which Elbert had previously destroyed. Their predecessor was an illegal modification institution.
It was named after demigods from mythology, following the apocalypse treaty.
But this organization's scientific research level was stronger than 'Hercules.' They mastered a powerful modification technique and rose rapidly, frequently taking action because of that.
More importantly, they didn't hide their attempts, declaring war on 14 countries.
They wanted to use modified people to fight modified people,intending to crush everything and establish their own supreme status!
A few days ago, they waged war in Evalia, killing the few modified people Evalia had.
Now they were hunting Harper.
Undoubtedly, numerous international entities dispatched personnel to halt their carnage, yet no one had succeeded in stopping them since.
The elderly man in the white coat looked towards the door, speaking in a low voice, "Sir, someone has come looking for us. According to the information, they are from the international modified people regulatory organization, FIC!"
"FIC?" The burly man took a puff of his cigar, a sneer flashing across his face. "FIC? Those self-righteous modified people?"
"In essence, they are nothing more than a large civilian organization with official support and funding," the man sneered.
"They do have a lot of people. Are they here to ask for trouble again today? But that's fine, destroying them will add another milestone for us!" the man said.
The door of the abandoned theater was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
Two Westerners in special combat suits, with a triangular military dagger badge on their chests, led a dozen men in black into the room.
They saw the figure on the stage, and the leading FIC member shouted, "Shepherd, we've caught you. Today, you won't escape! Your evil deeds end here!"
The burly man let out a sinister laugh. "Escape? I never intended to escape!"
The two FIC members in special combat suits stepped forward. "Today, we'll make sure you understand why you die!"
"I, FIC Hero Squad, Revolver!" a man announced.
"I, FIC Hero Squad, Priest!" the other man announced.
