GoodReadChapter 840:
When Verruckt stared at Allison, his gaze was intense and probing, as if he was looking through her at someone
else. Allison kept her voice even. “Sounds like you haven't forgotten her, Mr. Shaw.” A shiver ran up her spine.
Her enemy was right there, within arm’s reach. And her secret identity could unravel at any second.
“Definitely. After all, she left countless scars on me,” Verruckt said, his smile laced with a hint of irony. Perhaps it
was the stillness of the air, but a strange peace washed over him.
For the first time, he shared a slice of his past. “I was a test subject too. 001 and I, we were thrown together as
both comrades and competitors.”
As he shared his tale, they sat in the dimly lit open area. No lights were on, only the soft glow from the one-way
glass outside illuminating their faces.
“After the lab was destroyed by an explosion, she died. | managed to escape and eventually took up with
Vrining.” His face was half-hidden in the shadows, his emotions cloaked in darkness.
“If she were alive, she’d probably givegrief for becoming someone else’s lackey.”
Allison really wanted to needle him about it, but she understood that sometimes, choices were slim. Now they
stood on opposing sides, each fighting their own battles.
“Mr. Shaw, you must despise human experiments,” Allison kept prodding, carefully gauging his reactions. “So
why sign on to run illegal experiments for Vrining?” It was a cruel twist of fate when someone becthe very
thing they once loathed.

Yet, Verruckt seemed indifferent. “Hate experiments? No, my only gripe is that | wasn’t stronger.”
If he had been, maybe subject 001 wouldn't have met her end in that lab.
“I'm after power, the ultimate kind,” his voice was low and chilling. “After my rendezvous with Mayor Onett
tomorrow, I'll have it all.”
Allison detected the resolve in Verruckt’s tone. “But you don’t need to play his ganymore; you're already
strong enough.”
She sensed that she was on the brink of a breakthrough.
“You were spot on. When Bill and | first crossed paths, he was nothing more than a councilman. He saved my
skin, and in return, | cleared out his rivals. That's when he handed the reins of the lab over to me.”
Verruckt’s laughter was soft, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
“At the stime, he was cooking up an addictive performance-enhancing drug behind my back and managed
to slip it into my drink.”
“A performance-enhancing drug?” Allison looked puzzled. Given Verruckt's capabilities were sharpened on the
deserted island, why would he need such a drug?
