A Superpowered Warrior in a Fake Heiress’s Body
Chapter 373 Mobilizing the State
Steven grasped the terrifying implications in an instant.
His voice turned sharp as flint, “I am escalating an emergency memo to high command immediately. Bella, keep this under complete lockdown–act as though you know nothing.”
A storm brewed behind Steven’s eyes.
If her intelligence was accurate, foreign subversion had penetrated their domestic institutions to an alarming depth.
Who had signed off on the Golden Elixir’s distribution licenses?
How had regulatory inspections cleared a toxic chemical tonic?
Had not a single official flagged these lethal anomalies?
How many bureaucrats had been bought off along that approval pipeline?!
How many collaborators were feeding off this corruption?!
This was a national security crisis; once the dragnet dropped, every traitor had to be uprooted without mercy.
Furthermore, Ascent Dynamics had established dozens of commercial subsidiaries over the past decade.

Did their other operational pipelines conceal similar horrors?
Steven recalled the Sinclair family’s plight.
Had the Sinclairs been systematically targeted simply because their clean–energy IP threatened Ascent Dynamics‘ monopoly?
Was Raymond’s poisoning merely the tip of a monstrous iceberg?
The realization made it impossible for Steven to sit still.
He barked at his adjutant, “Bring the staff car around–I’m departing immediately.”
Turning back to Isabella, he added, “I won’t be able to see you out, Bella.
“This intelligence is too critical–I must brief high command in person.
“Ethan, Noah, escort her back to Summit Manor safely.”

Steven had initially planned for Noah to drive, but weighing the danger, he ordered Ethan along as an armed escort.
“You humiliated Preston Keller tonight, and a wounded beast will lash out.
“You and the Sinclairs must exercise extreme vigilance.
“I will assign an armed protective detail to shadow your residence starting tonight.
“Rest assured, our nation will never pardon traitors who feast upon our marrow!”

Boiling with righteous fury, Steven issued brief instructions to his sons before departing under armed escort.
Ethan turned to Isabella with an admiring chuckle, “Look at you, little one. We haven’t seen each other in a while, and the second we meet, you set off a geopolitical earthquake!”
Ethan had recently returned stateside after leading foreign support operations, escorting Caleb’s unit back to safety.
He asked with genuine curiosity, “Where did you pick up such advanced pharmacology?”
He had observed how effortlessly Isabella deconstructed molecular structures earlier, demonstrating command of biochemistry rivaling senior lab directors.
Isabella offered an enigmatic smile, “I studied pathology when Grandfather fell ill, and I picked up traditional folk medicine and botanical remedies growing up in the mountains.”
Her tone was breezy and unreadable.
Ethan nodded thoughtfully.
He had previously witnessed her tactical deployment of wild flora to neutralize armed abductors.
In remote, under–resourced wilderness, mastering folk remedies was an essential survival skill.
How else did locals treat venom and illness?
Yet Ethan was continually astounded by how rapidly Isabella absorbed modern clinical science.
She had returned to the city only a few months ago, reuniting with Raymond Sinclair even more recently.
Her intellect was simply terrifying.

Deep respect took root in his heart.
The trio descended into the private subterranean garage.
Ethan took the wheel of the armored SUV, while Noah slid into the back beside Isabella.
Noah had never imagined his father’s gala would uncover such a dark conspiracy.
The Kellers were utterly shameless!
To relentlessly poison and extort Isabella’s grandfather like common mobsters.
No wonder the Sinclairs bristled whenever the Kellers were near.
And Damian, that brainless sycophant, had the gall to target Isabella!
Noah cursed under his breath, leaning closer to ask, “Bella, how did you actually jam the Neuro–Blocker’s current earlier?”
He was dying to know.
He had watched her every move, never spotting a single physical tell.
“Trade secret,” Isabella whispered with an index finger against her lips.
In truth, there were countless ways to disrupt micro–current signals.
