Chapter 501: Chapter 501
"What did you do to her?!"
Lucas Laine burst in forcefully with a large entourage behind him.
Seeing Serena Everett in a painful trance, Lucas’s eyes quickly turned icy, his long, deep black eyes filled with a terrifying ruthlessness.
Doctor Yates inexplicably felt a chill down his spine but then looked at them with full caution, "Who are you people?"
"The ones who want your life."
The murderous glare Lucas directed at him was enough to make his skin crawl.
He dared to harm Serena; he absolutely couldn’t let this go!
"What an arrogant tone!"
Doctor Yates sneered disdainfully, but the next second, seeing the emblem on the Hidden Guard behind Lucas, his expression immediately changed.
They were actually people from The Netherworld Syndicate... and Serena was actually connected to The Netherworld Syndicate!
"If you dare hurt my apprentice, I’ll make you pay a hundredfold!"
Winston Winslow stepped in after Lucas, quickly rushing in and seeing the unconscious Serena, his eyes filled with rage and he spoke with anger.
His face was pale and sickly, but the aura he exuded was terrifying.
Doctor Yates’s expression changed again, fear sprouting in his heart, but then he thought of something, and his face showed cunning.
He grabbed the unconscious Serena, gripping her neck hard, threateningly speaking.
"If you dare take another step, I’ll end her life right now!"
Lucas’s face changed suddenly, speaking urgently.
Seeing their worried expressions, Doctor Yates sneered with satisfaction and continued threatening.
"Back off! Back off now! Or today will be the day she dies!"
If looks could kill, Doctor Yates would have died countless times by now.
Lucas’s jaw tightened, killing intent swirling in his dark eyes, but he had to comply with Doctor Yates’s words.
"Everyone step back!"
Seeing Lucas compromise, Doctor Yates was extremely pleased, "Hahaha! Still no match for me..."
Just as Doctor Yates was reveling in his success and relaxing his guard, Lucas seized the opportunity, pulling out a gun and pulling the trigger.
The bullet struck Doctor Yates’s arm, making him scream in agony and release Serena, the intense pain almost causing him to faint.
As Doctor Yates endured the pain, trying to grab Serena again as leverage, a row of black gun barrels were immediately aimed at his head.
If he dared to make any harmful move towards Serena, he would be shot dead in an instant.
Doctor Yates realized his downfall, enduring the pain in his arm and shouting to the group behind him.
The men in black following him hesitated, "But orders are to capture Serena and return..."
Before he could finish, Doctor Yates interrupted him harshly.
"Shut up, retreat immediately!"
This was still The Netherworld Syndicate’s territory, and their reinforcements would arrive quickly. If they didn’t retreat now, once their reinforcements came, not only would they fail to take Serena, he wouldn’t escape alive either!
Man in black: "...Yes."
Seeing Doctor Yates and his men flee, Lucas immediately turned and whispered an order, then rushed to the girl’s side.
The catalyst amplified the side effects of the X Potion a hundredfold, making Serena suffer even while unconscious.
Seeing her so pained, Lucas’s eyes overflowed with distress, and he simultaneously hated himself.
If only he had arrived a moment earlier!
In a deep coma, Serena subconsciously murmured.
In her most helpless moment, Serena called out Damian’s name... which was enough to show how important Damian was to her.
Lucas lowered his eyes with a bitter smile, his heart flooded with bitterness as if it would drown him.
"Serena, do you like him that much?"
Winston Winslow also hurried forward to check the unconscious Serena’s pulse.
"Master, how is Serena?"
"Serena’s in a coma because of unbearable pain!"
Winston’s complexion turned serious as he checked the potion left behind by Doctor Yates.
"This is a catalyst, magnifying one’s pain a hundredfold!"
"Serena’s condition is very bad; we must get her back to the base for treatment immediately!"
Hearing this, Lucas’s thin lips pressed tightly, "But Master, your health probably can’t support it..."
Winston interrupted him, speaking without hesitation, "I can hold on! Serena’s safety is more important!"
No matter what, he had to hold on to treat Serena!

"Why are you capturing me?!"
Chase Sherman looked at him coldly, "Because Master Damian wants to see you."
Walter mumbled, more puzzled than ever.
These years, he’d been living incognito, and he didn’t know anyone named Master Damian!
Why was he being sought after?
Before Walter could figure it out, he heard footsteps approaching.
Chase and other Hidden Guards immediately stepped aside respectfully, leaving a path as a cold, noble man walked over.
Though his face showed little emotion, the aura around him was imposing and frightening, overwhelming in pressure.
Seeing the man, Walter’s face turned ashen, his body trembling as if seeing a ghost.
Damian Quinn’s cold and sharp gaze fell on him, "Was it you who accused my father of being the murderer of Winston Winslow’s wife and daughter back then?"
Hearing this, Walter mumbled as if lost, "You... you are Tristan Quinn’s son... no wonder the resemblance..."
"Answer my question."
Damian’s cool brows showed impatience, the pressure around him growing stronger.
Walter’s eyes darted around, his body trembling fiercely, clearly terrified.
Seeing the guilty look in his eyes, Damian became increasingly certain that there was hidden truth in the events of the past. His dark eyes narrowed, a dangerous aura emerging.
The man projected a powerful presence, filled with hostility.
Walter was so scared his legs almost gave out, nearly kneeling on the ground. Yet even so, he gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.
Damian grew more impatient, his mesmerizing eyes filled with menace, his voice icy and commanding.
"Tie him up and take him back."
Once they got him back, there would be plenty of ways to make him talk.
Chase and others immediately responded respectfully, "Yes, Master Damian."
Damian took out his phone to inform the girl of Walter’s capture, but after sending the message, he didn’t receive a reply for a long time.
The man’s brow furrowed, quickly dialing the girl’s number.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The call went unanswered.
Damian’s heart sank slowly with a sense of unease, his brow tightening as he exuded a chilling aura, speaking in a deep voice.
"Head back immediately!"
Chase knew well how important Serena was to Master Damian. There could be no delay, "Yes, Master Damian!"
