Chapter 446 The Mutant
However, Emrys chose to take the high road and refrained from arguing with women.
At that moment, Larissa suddenly pulled Emrys aside and said, “Rys, you mentioned earlier that you were going to the Langford residence to help treat an illness, right? Coincidentally, I also need to visit someone in Jipsdale. Let’s go together!”
“Who are you going to visit?”
“Haha! You’ll find out soon enough,” Larissa said with a mysterious smile.
“Don’t keep me in suspense, will you?” Emrys glanced at Larissa. Suddenly remembering something, he asked, “By the way, did we ever find out the identity of that mutant we captured last time? And how did he end up like that?”
Larissa’s expression grew more serious when she heard those questions. “We have new information.”
The last time Emrys went to Juxshire, he happened to be there, assisting the Ginger family in resolving a troublesome matter. Coincidentally, he encountered Larissa, who was in the midst of apprehending a mutant.
After a considerable amount of time had passed, it was only natural for them to have gathered more information.
Larissa’s expression turned grave as she nodded and said, “We’ve discovered that person was from the Lambert family of Elterton.

He had been in Anglandur for nearly five years and returned less than two months ago. Suddenly, he transformed into that state. The researchers at the Institute of Biology extracted a rare medicinal component from his body. Upon analysis, they discovered it was a new genetic drug.”
“Genetic drug…” Emrys furrowed his brow, deep in thought.
He recalled the time in Venria when he had destroyed that genetic experiment research facility. The person in charge of that facility back then was also an Atharian. It seems like there has been significant activity recently in Anglandur!
Larissa let out a light sigh and said, “Unfortunately, that mutant couldn’t speak, and not long after we brought him back, he passed away. We weren’t able to gather any information from him. As for the Lambert family, they could only say that the person had been working in Anglandur before the mutation. They were unsure about his exact position, the nature of his work, and who he had been in contact with in Anglandur. What concerns me the most right now is that within the borders of Chanaea, there may be several individuals who have participated in the genetic experiments conducted in Anglandur. The problem is, they haven’t shown any signs yet. These people, hidden within Chanaea, are ticking time bombs.”
Every year, numerous individuals returned from Anglandur to Chanaea. Among them were those who had taken part in genetic experiments. As long as they didn’t experience sudden mutations, they appeared no different from ordinary people on the surface.
Uncovering the truth was an incredibly challenging task.

Larissa’s beautiful face was filled with worry, truly embodying the image of a Warrior Goddess deeply concerned for her country and its people.
Emrys couldn’t help but reach out, gently tousling her hair as he said, “Issa, don’t overthink things for now. Regardless of whatever schemes Anglandur is plotting, if they dare to target Chanaea, they will undoubtedly regret it. We just need to observe and wait.”
With a soft sigh, Larissa lifted her eyes, shining like stars, and looked at Emrys. She said, “Empyrean Lord, the safety of Chanaea now rests on your shoulders.”
Emrys was taken aback. Issa is being too serious.
Regaining his composure, Emrys moved his hand from Larissa’s head, running it down her soft, flowing hair to her smooth, fair cheek. He gave it a gentle squeeze and said, “Not just me. It’s all of
us.”
Meanwhile, back at the vast estate in Jipsdale, Aren had already returned and was faithfully reporting to his mentor, the White Dragon King, about the situation he had encountered in Jazona.
“Regarding Lady Lockwood…”
The White Dragon King’s expression turned serious. After a moment of silence, he asked, “If I remember correctly, Lady Lockwood’s martial arts teacher is Hazel, isn’t it?”
“Yes,” Aren nodded,
