A Superpowered Warrior in a Fake Heiress’s Body
Chapter 277 The Ashes of the Past

Juan spoke in-a-low, measured voice, “They’ve got their eyes on one of your grandfather’s technologies.
“Or rather, an experimental pipeline your grandfather personally spearheaded.
“A sudden explosion leveled the laboratory during testing, destroying almost all the experimental logs, and your grandfather and I have failed to reconstruct the missing telemetry ever since.
“And the Keller family is hellbent on seizing that very technology.”
Julian revealed the historical details that Isabella hadn’t been able to dig up online.
As it turned out, that mysterious laboratory blast had been triggered during that exact trial run.
“By the time we reached the facility, the diagnostic hardware, raw compounds, and research servers were destroyed.
“The site was reduced to total rubble.
“Based on the residual telemetry and fragmented logs we recovered, that trial run had actually succeeded.
“Yet without warning, the prototype violently combusted.
“Fortunately, the on-site technicians evacuated in time to avoid fatalities, though Sinclair Enterprises still paid massive medical settlements.
“Shortly after, the Kellers showed up at our doorstep.”
Julian’s brow furrowed with deep tension.
The Keller family served as the principal domestic shareholders and local power brokers for Ascent Dynamics.
Ascent Dynamics operated as a multinational joint venture, meaning domestic partners held significant equity, with Keller Group serving as the largest investor.
Keller Group had never touched renewable energy before, making their sudden obsession with the Sinclairs’ battery patents baffling.
In the years that followed, Julian and the veteran engineering staff attempted to replicate the experiment countless times, only to be met with repeated failure.
“That battery trial was nearing its final milestone, and surviving researchers claimed they had mirac synthesized a working prototype for charging stress-tests right before the cell exploded.”

Julian knitted his brows, continuing, “We suspect the Kellers are hunting that specific prototype, but with the test data incinerated, nobody knows the true specs of that cell.
“Put bluntly, it was merely an unstable half-finished prototype that we haven’t been able to duplicate in all these years.
“We simulated dozens of testing environments, yet every replicated cell detonates before reaching

synthesis.
So we have no idea why the Kellers remain so relentlessly fixated on it.”

Julian let out a tired sigh and added, “The Kellers have stalked us ever since, systematically sabotaging our businesses to force us into selling the IP and signing a non-compete to never touch battery research again, but your grandfather stood firm.
“Sensing foul play behind their aggression, we refused to budge.
“And so, their predatory strikes only intensified.
“Now you see how bold they’ve become, barging right in-they’ve ambushed us dozens of times before only to be turned away at the door.
“With your grandfather bedridden recently, they pounced on the opening.”
