The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 307

Even half-blind and agonizingly compromised, the only thing that could truly distract Morgan was Juno's name.

He crashed to the floor, his body curling inward as brutal spasms racked his muscles.

His unfocused eyes stared blankly toward the doorway.

When no familiar footsteps followed, a tiny sliver of relief pierced the haze.

He realized it was a cheap psychological trick. No one could best him in close combat, so they weaponized his absolute loyalty to break his guard.

The official let out a breath of satisfaction. He watched as the remaining guard drew the experimental serum into a fresh syringe, knelt beside the writhing assassin, and emptied the vial into him.

Morgan's chest heaved. The corrosive compound surged through his bloodstream like liquid fire, setting every pain receptor alight.

The official pulled up a chair and sat down, casually looking down at the elegant man now reduced to a trembling mess on the floor.

The guard backed away, waiting for his next order.

Pulling out his phone, the official began recording. He watched the screen with sick amusement, anticipating the massive stir this footage would cause on the Shadow Net.

Slowly, Morgan's hearing began to fade into a high-pitched ringing.

Taking advantage of the few seconds before total deafness set in, the official sneered, "I didn't give you the full dose yet. Division XIII couldn't figure out what this was, right? Let me enlighten you. It hyper-sensitizes the nervous system while simultaneously shutting down sight and hearing. The subject feels absolutely nothing except pure, unadulterated agony.

If injected into someone who's already half-dead, the sheer shock to the system amplifies their perception. It might even shock them awake, who knows?

Enjoy the ride. Once this dose wears off, we'll go for round two."

The duration of the agonizing trip was completely unpredictable.

An eternity later, Morgan's fractured consciousness slowly knitted itself back together. His vision returned.

The official looked faintly disappointed to see Morgan lying there, completely still. Despite the hellish torment ravaging his body, he refused to beg or scream.
