Chapter 829:
“Thank you for helpingfind my daughter. As a token of my gratitude, I'll ensure you make it out safely,” she
continued.
Allison pretended to respond with genuine warmth. “That would be wonderful. Thank you.”
Before the moment could stretch, Verruckt interjected, his tone direct and businesslike. “The human experiments
have been going on for a while. If you want to catch everyone involved, head to Eastshade Dock tomorrow.
There's a major transaction planned, and Josh will be there.”
Mollie turned her sharp gaze toward him.
“I recall the lab being under your jurisdiction.”
Verruckt met her stare without flinching. “It doesn’t matter. By tomorrow, the entire Immortality Group could be
mine. As for the lab, no one will notice when it’s gone.”
Mollie pressed her lips into a thin line, considering his words. “I'll think about it,” she said finally, her tone

Verruckt hesitated. He knew Mollie wanted to speak with Allison alone. He should have refused, as there was
always the risk that Allison might reveal something she shouldn't.
Yet, after a brief pause, he stepped aside. “Go ahead. | need to discuss something with Jareth anyway.”
Allison blinked, caught off guard. She hadn’t expected him to give in so easily.
Mollie, too, seemed amused by his unexpected leniency. After he left, she couldn't help but tease him with a
smile. “Your boss has quite the reputation, a ruthless, untamable force.”
The remark didn’t surprise Allison. She had overheard similar gossip during the banquet and knew Verruckt’'s
infamy preceded him.
“Mrs. Blake, is there something specific you'd like to discuss with me?” Allison asked, steering the conversation
back on track.
“Not much,” Mollie replied, her gaze softening.
