The Legendary Man Chapter 836- Permission To Conduct An Experiment
“Mr. Goldstein, two Superior Realm cultivators is all I need!”
“Mr. Goldstein, two Superior Realm cultivators is all I need!”
Jason’s determination was beginning to falter in the face of Zachary’s direct admission.
“I really need subjects for this experiment. I’ve already made so much progress in my studies on the vitality of cultivators. Actually, I’ve already discovered a plant hormone that can drastically improve the circulation speed of both vitality and spiritual energy!”
Jonathan whipped his head around to stare at Rebecca, who had been on her phone the whole time.
“You were involved in this too?”
After leaving Xiara, Rebecca had been frightfully loyal to Jonathan and hadn’t stepped foot outside of Edenic Heights since.
She had even willingly given up all of the poison and antidote recipes as well as electronic devices in her possession so that everyone else would trust her and be at ease.
From the looks of it, she was extremely close with Zachary. Word on the street was that it was only a matter of time before the two of them finally got together.
Furthermore, her sneaky poisoning skills, deadly talent in assassination, and breathtaking shooting abilities that trumped even a Grandmaster had cemented her popularity amongst the community.
As of recently, she had at least five hundred people joining her assassination training sessions every day and had truly evolved into a core member of Edenic Heights.
Before her arrival, Jason hadn’t made much progress despite the countless experiments he had done in secret.
However, after Jonathan’s short departure of about two or three weeks, Jason suddenly saw a massive leap in his findings. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that it couldn’t have been without Rebecca’s help.
Rebecca sheepishly tucked her phone away at Jonathan’s interrogative tone.
“I didn’t have much to do with it, Mr. Goldstein. Jason was still the mastermind.”
“What are you talking about?” Jason said excitedly. “Mr. Goldstein, if it wasn’t for Rebecca’s help, I would never have been able to find the correct dosages to create this steroid. Even if I were to dilute it to ten times less than its current potency, it would still easily crush all the other steroids on the market! If you ever fire me one day, this would still be able to make me a fortune—”
“Okay, you can continue with your experiments. You don’t have to hide it anymore.”
Jason hadn’t finished his sentence when Jonathan’s voice suddenly echoed in the room.
The others all stared at Jonathan in shock while Jason let out a heavy sigh and slumped into his seat.
“Okay, fine. I won’t do any experiments anymore—”
He paused abruptly and looked up at Jonathan with a look of disbelief. Even his breathing was starting to become ragged from excitement.
“Wait. What did you just say, Mr. Goldstein?”
“I said, you can continue with your experiments. I won’t get in your way,” Jonathan said firmly.
“Not only will I not get in your way, but I’ll even lend you the help of the whole of Asura’s Office. However, I have some ground rules. First of all, you must only do experiments on enemy cultivators, and only on those who started a fight first and got captured by us. Secondly, I will help you gather all the information I can on genetic manipulation, including about human subjects. However, you must promise me that when you’re capable of mass-producing cultivators in the future, you’ll ensure that they have complete freedom and control over their own actions.”
The second ground rule was a line that Jonathan couldn’t allow Jason to cross.
Complete freedom and control over their own actions included two conditions.
The first was that those who signed up had voluntarily done so, of their own personal accord.
The second was that the cultivators who underwent modification would always act according to their beliefs and personal ambition, even when assigned to a fatal operation.
He didn’t want his soldiers to become complete beasts devoid of all emotion and empathy like Charleigh’s werewolves.
Remdik’s operations had really shocked Jonathan.
Charleigh, the crazy scientist, could actually mass-produce Grandmaster Realm cultivators.
If he were to station them on the battlefield, not even the hundreds of thousands of members of Asura’s Office could withstand such an attack.
When he returned last time, Jonathan had even held onto some hope that his weapon could keep this immense force at bay.
Sadly, after his visit to the West Region, he learned that that was just his wishful thinking.
