Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1672

Faced with The Raven's murderous rage, no one dared to utter a single word of protest.

The only sound left in the room was the rhythmic, digital ticking of the self-destruct timer.

Standing in the crimson glare of the emergency lights, The Raven stared unflinchingly at Serena on the monitor.

His dark, predatory eyes burned with toxic hatred.

The Panacea would pay for today's humiliation. He would make sure she suffered a hundred times over!

...

Meanwhile, down in The Logistics Spine.

The chaotic blur of code scrolling frantically across the terminal finally sputtered to a halt.

Serena’s slender fingers tapped the glass screen a few final times.

She compressed every byte of data she had just ripped from Obsidian's network and downloaded it straight into her micro-terminal.

This included the remote command protocols, the experimental logs, and an endless array of pharmaceutical records.

She even captured the digital footprint left behind by the remote destruct command.

But most importantly...

She got the origin IP address that launched the remote signal.

It was all safely stored in her encrypted drive.

Even though Obsidian hadn't been slow to react, pulling the plug and torching their own data at the very last second, it didn't matter.

As long as they left a digital trace on the network, no one could hide from her. Nobody could ever wipe their slate completely clean.

She had exactly what she came for.

Serena lowered her gaze, glancing at the prompt on her terminal, and a slow, wicked smile curved her red lips.

An impossibly arrogant smirk lit up her striking, pale features. "Sixty seconds. More than enough time to steal a specimen."

Her tone was maddeningly casual, as if she were talking about stealing candy rather than hijacking a multi-million dollar bioweapon.

But to the Obsidian commander currently pinned beneath Julian's boot, her words felt like a knife twisting in his gut.

"I'm telling you right now, Fourteen is nothing like Asset 07! Even if you hijacked the controls, you can't keep it contained forever!"

"The mutated genes inside of it could spiral out of control at any second! We threw millions of dollars and entire teams of scientists at it, and we couldn't even domesticate it! Who the hell do you think you are to—"

Before he could finish his hysterical rant, Serena effortlessly cut him off.

She arched a brow, glancing down at his ashen, defeated face with a lazy half-smile. "The fact that you couldn't control it just proves that you're a bunch of incompetent losers."

Her cool tone dripped with unfiltered mockery.

The commander was speechless.

He looked like he was about to choke on his own fury.

He wanted to scream back, but the words died in his throat.

She wasn't wrong.

Specimen Fourteen was the closest thing to a flawless Obsidian Augment they had ever created, bought with staggering amounts of money and a mountain of human lives.
