Chapter 239 Chapter 239 When Ebie firmly insisted that Bennett wasnt a good person, Adriel paused.
To be fair, even he wasnt entirely sure what Bennett was thinking most of the tBennell was just too smart and a scientist, no less.
And everyone knows, most brilliant researchers are a little unhinged in ways ordinary people cant comprehend.
And then there was Noelle.
Since coming back, Adriel had heard plenty about her how fast she learned, how talented she was.
She was only nineteen, yet already far ahead of her peers.
It wasnt entirely out of the question that Bennett had taken an interest in her for research purposes But then again, Noelle was family.
She was their sister.
Even if Bennett was a little crazy, he wouldnt actually treat his on sister like stest subject right ! Adriel decided hed talk to Bennett about it later just to get to get a read on his intentions .
main facility.
Meanwhile, Bennett had brought Noelle to one of his larger research labs a more advanced and secure division of the m As soon as they stepped inside and she caught sight of the white lab coats and gleaming medical instruments, a wave of unease hit her.
The place triggered all sorts of flashbacks to her own tat Atoraka Nowedon Laboratory none of which were pleasant.
You okay? Bennett noticed the color drain from her face.
He stepped closer, gently placed a hand on her shoulder, and gave her a reassuring smile.
Relax, Noelle.
Im here, arent 1 Nothings gonna happen to you witharound.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe pushed his hand off her shoulder and muttered, Alright, what do you want this time? Bennett chuckled softly, about to answer when another man approached a sharp eyed young researcher in a pristine lab coat.
His ntag read Dr. Liam Robertson His eyes flicked over Noelle with mild disdain before he turned to Bennett and said.
And whos this? You know this facility isnt open for casual Visitors Bennett smiled politely.
Dr.
Robertson, this is my sister, Noelle.
Noelle forced a small, polite nod.
Nice to meet you.
Your sister, huh? Liam arched a brow.
Even so, this isnt a sightseeing spot.
I get that youre the departments golden boy, but bringing in outsiders ! Really? Noelle immediately bristled This guy was clearly the kind who could suck the warmth out of a room in seconds.
Shes not just visiting.
Bennett replied evenly.
Shes here as a volunteer for the memory resonance trials.
Liam blinked.
Her? He gave Noelle a full once over disbelief written all over his face.
She looked way too soft for the kind of brutal trials they conducted here.
You sure about that? Liam sneered.
Even trained soldiers struggle with this test.
I give her ..
what, three seconds before she calls it quits The experiment in question involved stimulating the brain with high frequency waves to attempt memory resonance, a process that aimed to capture, store, and potentially replicate memories.
It was cutting edge work and absolutely brutal on the test subjects.
Even elite soldiers rarely lasted inore than five minutes Civilians ! Harely a minute.
And in Liams eyes, Noelle looked like shed be lucky to last ten seconds, Noelle, of course, hated being underestimated.
Sure, she was annoyed Bennett had roped her into this again, but now that this Lian guy was bring such a jerk, her competitive streak kicked in How would you know if I dont try? she shot back.
Maybe III surprise you Liam paused, then burst out laughing.
Sure, sure, Lets see what youve got.
Surprise me.
He walked away still chuckling, clearly not taking her seriously.
1/2 11 PM O Chapter 239 Noelle fumed.
What a jerk.
Just wait.
Im gonna blow his smug face off.
Bennett, watching her with amusement, smiled.
He had been trying to figure out how to get her to go along with the experiment willingly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTurns out, all he needed was to have someone insult her.
Maybe she really is missing a few screws, he thought with a quiet laugh.
Of course not, he replied quickly. Youre amazing remember? Phave full confidence youll wow everyone. Noelle huffed again but smirked.
Good.
This will be easy, She had once lasted over forty minutes duringm neural stimulation tests at Atoraka Nowedon This? Childs play. 1 Soon, she changed into sterile gear and was escorted to the testing chamber.
Before entering, she grabbed Bennett and narrowed her eyes.
You didnt t tell anyone what I really am, did you? Of course not, Bennett said, winking.
Our little secret Satisfied, Noelle nodded and went in.

gathered. Liam was there, of course, arms Bennett just smiled, unfazed.
Liam hated that smile.
To him, Bennett was a fraud an overhyped genius whose real talent was luck and good PR.
Now he was parading his sister around like she was skind of proof of genetic greatness.
Liam couldnt wait to see them fail.
The countdown began.
