The 24th Century Warrior Became a Fake Heiress novel Chapter 399

Pointing to the biochemical readouts projected on the screen, she challenged him, "Professor Grant, care to explain why your Golden Elixir contains such lethal concentrations of taxine? And what purpose do these addictive alkaloids and heavy buffers serve?

"As a celebrated clinical authority, you can't possibly claim ignorance of the fact that at least three to five compounds in this mixture are neurotoxic to human physiology, yet you deployed them in massive concentrations. Why?

"Because they violently agitate cardiovascular receptors, inducing an artificial rush of euphoria and boundless stamina that tricks patients into believing their vascular ailments have vanished.

"You harvested our nation's intellectual elite as clinical guinea pigs. When subjects developed organ failure, you claimed their underlying conditions had progressed past pharmacological control, using their staged palliative care to burnish your medical prestige."

Isabella continued in a level tone, "For those who overdosed beyond recovery, you claimed their pathologies were simply terminal, insisting your proprietary tonics were the sole reason they survived as long as they did. Until their dying breath, they served as data points to elevate your academic standing.

"Do you dare supply a clean vial of Dextro-1 right now to compare its molecular markers against this assay? Your so-called improvements to Dextro-1 merely diluted the toxicity to delay organ failure, didn't they?

"And rushing to synthesize Dextro-2 for this Valorian tour—was that because you couldn't conceal the lies behind your initial formulation any longer?"

Right as Isabella delivered her final indictment, undercover Federal Intelligence operatives embedded across the hall stormed the stage, surrounding Preston and Andre, "Nobody move!

"Professor Grant, you are under arrest for crimes against national security. Resist, and we will open fire!"

At the operative's command, tactical officers pinned Preston and his aides to the floor.

While Preston might not have carried vials on his person, Andre and his executive assistant had sample cases secured in their luggage.

Watching federal agents seize his medical cases, Andre thrashed frantically against the carpet, "No! D*mn it, get your hands off me!

"I'm an international citizen, and I hold the Doctors Without Borders distinction! I have legal immunity across multiple sovereign states!

"Release me immediately! Don't touch my research!

"Stand down!"

Ethan Wayne strode into the auditorium from the command vehicle, his boots clicking heavily against the linoleum.

"This is Valoria, and any action threatening our national security will not be tolerated!

"Professor Grant, your legal immunity and privileges are void here! Take them away!

"Dean Quincy, please verify the samples on the spot."
