“Damn it! Peter! Charlie!”
Vicus, the vice commander of the Lion Knights, continued to attempt communication. However, the sounds emanating from the communication device were nothing but ominous static.
The last message he received was from Peter, informing him that his colleagues Milburn and Fifeild had perished. Since then, there has been no word from Peter or Charlie. This could only mean one thing –they might all have been wiped out
“This won’t do. I need to dispatch the knights quickly and report about this to the Lord,” Vicus quickly summoned the waiting knights. With the troops guarding Denver and those investigating security dispatched elsewhere, he had a force of only 20 knights at immediate disposal.
The armed knights filed into the spacious guest room allotted to the Vice commander, each removing their helmets. The knights were of different races and gender—among them there were, a fair-skinned woman with reddish-blonde hair, a caucasian man with black hair, and a black-skinned man with a shaved head.
Despite their differences they all shared one common trait: their exceptional facial features and their towering height.
While the public praised Denver for prioritizing his image, Vicus knew the truth.
They were the results of genetic enhancements under Denver’s directives, known as the Hulk Mutant Project
“Vice commander, did you call for me?” The black-skinned man respectfully bowed before Vicus, drawing him back to the present. Vicus briefed them on the situation
“The situation is dire. We’ve lost contact with the team assigned to protect the police officer under Lord’s orders.”
“What?”
“We sent Charlie, Peter, Milburn, and Fifield to the hospital. Since Peter’s last communication five minutes ago, no one else has responded.”
Silence fell among the Lion Knights. Everyone present in that room knew the extent of the force of the Lion Knights. Therefore, the news that four of their own had fallen was not something they could easily overlook.
“So, I will report to the Lord immediately. Jacob, I entrust the command of these men to you in my absence.”
“I will do my best, sir.”
“...for such an incident to occur right before the council meeting.”
After sending the knights to the hospital, Vicus hurriedly headed towards the banquet hall.
“The Lord wishes for Samdan Chemblin to become the CEO, and now this happens.”
As Denver’s closest confidant, Vicus was well aware of what he was aiming for. Before coming to this city, Denver had met Samdan in advance to discuss how the council meeting would proceed. During the discussions, Samdan expressed high expectations for his daughter Laila, and Denver understood Samdan’s intentions.
Although Vicus wasn’t sure how Laila felt about it, he had no ill feelings towards her. Therefore, before coming here, he made many preparations to assist her.
With all the preparations done, now only the smooth progress of the council meeting remained. Yet, such a major incident occurred.
“Finding out who killed the knights in the hospital is important, but the more important thing here was...”
The fact that an agent of Prime Capital died on the territory of Noble Capital.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
Competitors of Samdam are not likely to let go of such a good opportunity. If they just let this slide, it will undoubtedly be talked about.
Before the CEO election between T&C and Eden, the CEOs traditionally engage in a verbal battle. While conspiracy and plots are expected during the CEO voting process, any irregularities on the surface were unheard of.
Officially, MegaCorp is an organization that elects its CEO through democratic procedures, and any irregularities are not tolerated.
‘T&C and Eden were in alliance with each other’, if this gets leaked ahead of the CEO election. it could undermine the legitimacy of the CEO appointment and even jeopardize the T&C family’s status in Noble Capital and would also cause Samdam to be excluded as a CEO candidate.
“But Denver’s hard stance might pose problems too.” Deliberate criticism of T&C could backfire, especially among Eden’s elders who were unaware about this alliance. They might opt for a different candidate, rendering T&C’s financial support for Denver’s hulk mutant project futile
“How can I handle this...?”
His thoughts racing, Vicus could see the door to the banquet hall in the distance. A woman was being inspected by security guards before entering the door.
She was Laila’s secretary, someone Vicus knew well. Up close, he could see that her complexion had turned pale.
She must have come here for the same reason he did.
“Even Lady?”
“Vice Commander too?”
They exchanged glances, saying nothing but understanding each other’s thoughts. It seemed like tonight’s banquet would be a long one.

‘The existence that annoyed me is now dead. Despite judging it as competent and deciding to spare it, the outcome turned out to be a mixed bag of gains and losses.’
I quickly checked the text box.
[Predation effect activated! Successfully obtained ‘Insight’ genetic essence.]
[Extracted the ‘Insight’ among the biological characteristics of ‘William’.]
[Do you want to apply ‘Insight’?]
‘Huh?’
Insight.
I’m familiar with this ability too. When activated, it allows me to see the unique features, traits, skills, etc., of a living being or object with my naked eyes.
I can’t know everything, and the information I can obtain is randomly determined, limited to five times a day.
For example, if you use ‘Insight’ on someone wearing reinforced armor, you might get information about the armor instead of the wearer. Or sometimes if you want to know about the information of the armor you will get information on the wearer.
Also if you tried to use ‘Insight’ more than five times a day, it would become unusable and you won’t be able to use it in the future.
‘I was curious about what would come out of William, but for this to come out.’
William always had sharper intuition than others, so it made sense that he had such an extraordinary ability in him.It was probably because of that he found out about my weaknesses, and forced me to corner myself.
Come to think of it, William was the first one who cornered me in this city. Although he was not as powerful in combat as Si-hyun Yujin or the Hulk Mutants, he targeted my weaknesses with just his intuition.
Though I had infected him with a parasite, he didn’t give up and continued to be a headache for me until the end.
‘The one who used to be an enemy is giving me a gift at the end.’
Although he was an enemy in the past, it was forgivable at this point as he gave me such an amazing gift.
As shown in the system panel, ‘Insight’ is advantageous in player-vs-player fights, or PK. It’s not an ability I immediately need since I don’t fight players one on one
‘Yet, I’m happy.’
Because Insight is a psychic trait.
Including ‘Insight,’ I now have a total of 6 psychic traits. This means that I have successfully fulfilled all the conditions for the Psychic Reinforcement type.
The acquired traits from eden knights and the patients are still pending until they are canceled, but the newly obtained Insight is different.
‘It’s an opportunity to acquire a type; I can’t miss this.’
I immediately accepted the acquisition of Insight.
As the trait applied, I felt a change in the structure of my eyes. It was as if the inside of the eyeball became stiff, similar to the feeling when tired, and there was a twitch in the brow.
Despite the tingling sensation, I remained still as the natural changes due to the trait application occurred.
Perhaps because the applied area was not large in size, the transformation quickly ended. I activated Insight and looked around.
‘Huh?’
Despite acquiring it, there was no change. There should be random information about objects, but I couldn’t see anything.
‘Right, I won’t be able to see anything now’.
Insight is a trait that must be confirmed with the naked eye for its effects to take place.
Currently, my vision is obscured due to the effect of the ‘Symbol of Hunt’. Naturally, I can’t see anything.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter because there are more important things to do right now.’
I decided to check the effect of Insight later and brought up the text box I had been waiting for.
[There exists one ‘Type’ that can be specialized.]
[Do you want to unlock the ‘psychic Reinforcement Type’?]
After acquiring the first Type, the second Type was waiting for me.
