Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 609: News of the Jennings Family

A few days later, Sterling Norwood found out information about the Jennings family.

Selena Kensington happened to be nearby, so she listened in on Spencer Norwood’s report.

"The men below have reported that the Jennings family actually hasn’t left Oakhaven."

"They’ve imprisoned them in a secluded villa in the suburbs, where the terrain is hidden, surrounded by mountains and trees. Plus, that mountain is private property, which is why it went unnoticed."

"Moreover... our men investigating discovered that those guarding the villa outside are... are members of The Viper Syndicate!"

Spencer Norwood struggled to finish the sentence.

These words made Sterling Norwood’s expression suddenly tense.

Selena Kensington exclaimed in shock, "How is that possible? Wasn’t The Viper Syndicate eradicated long ago?!"

Why did The Viper Syndicate appear in Oakhaven again?!

"Before we eradicated The Viper Syndicate completely, some of their people were transferred, seemingly taken away by someone, as all traces were erased. We couldn’t find them after long searching in Sylva."

"We recognized those were The Viper Syndicate members because they still wore the syndicate’s emblem."

"So, those Viper members might have joined the Godsbane Organization..."

Spencer Norwood explained.

Selena Kensington frowned.

Could it be that the Godsbane Organization had already reached Sylva at that time?!

And recruited members of The Viper Syndicate, transferring them to Oakhaven...

No wonder Spencer Norwood and his group couldn’t find them all this time.

"Who else is in that villa."

Sterling Norwood looked up at Spencer Norwood.

If it was only members of The Viper Syndicate, it wouldn’t necessitate a personal report from Spencer.

"...Also, imposters."

After Spencer Norwood uttered this sentence, Selena Kensington noticed the atmosphere of the two individuals in the room changed immediately.

It became sharp and murderous, as if blades about to be drawn.

Ruthless and carrying a deadly intent.

Selena heard the term ’imposters’ for the first time, but seeing Sterling Norwood and Spencer Norwood’s darkened faces, she understood that this ’imposters’ posed a formidable challenge.

"How many of them?"

Sterling Norwood asked, his voice cold and cruel.

"Five people."

"Their physical condition has been greatly enhanced, possessing bodies akin to steel. We lost quite a few men while attempting to gather information..."

Recalling the reports from the men below, Spencer Norwood’s eyes reflected a murderous, bloody intent.

"Ha, quite the grand move..."

Sterling Norwood chuckled, yet his eyes bore no trace of humor.

Only coldness remained.

No one expected, after decades, their research had progressed so rapidly...

To guard the Jennings family, they actually dispatched five individuals injected with Fell Bloodline who gained abilities.

It seems they no longer intend to hide...

He was rather curious about what extent they could achieve...

Spencer Norwood continued his report, "However, there are some flaws in those imposters."

"They each have different defects. Some only know mindless slaughter, some lack intelligence, some have issues with direction..."

Upon hearing this, Sterling Norwood slightly raised his brows, "So they’re not a complete success."

"Indeed, ants remain ants, yet they aspire to gain the powers of God!"

His gaze was calm and cold, his expression indifferent, yet his words carried an unmistakable authority.

Radiating a powerful presence without any anger.

Spencer Norwood slightly lowered his head and refrained from speaking further.

From the moment he mentioned imposters, he knew Sterling Norwood was already angered.

"You may go, continue monitoring there."

"Yes."

Spencer Norwood respectfully replied and then left the main residence.

After Spencer Norwood left, Selena Kensington eagerly dashed forward.

"Be careful."

Sterling Norwood quickly caught her, fearing to press against her stomach, his movements were greatly restricted.

"Hehe, didn’t you catch me?"

Selena Kensington wrapped her arms around Sterling Norwood’s neck, speaking with a bright smile.

Sterling Norwood gave a helpless smile.

"What did Spencer mean by imposters?"

Selena Kensington tilted her head curiously as she asked.

"Imposters are the name we give to those experimented on by the Godsbane Organization."

"After the experiments, they are no longer ordinary humans, yet they cannot be categorized as one of us, hence termed imposters."

Selena Kensington widened her eyes slightly, "Does that mean those people’s experimentation succeeded?"

Sterling Norwood’s tone was deep, offering no indication of meaning, "Perhaps..."

"Decades ago, their experimentation was just beginning. At that time, those referred to as imposters weren’t like they are now; they barely had abilities and could succumb to their bloodlines bursting at any moment."

"But after they took your grandparents, their research presumably advanced significantly, leading to the latest batch of imposters..."

"Unfortunately..."

Sterling Norwood concluded with a slight mocking curve at the corner of his lips.

"Things not belonging to them will never belong to them."

"Those imposters will eventually walk towards destruction due to the Fell Bloodline within them."

Selena Kensington hesitated, "Given all the drawbacks, why would anyone still opt into these experiments?"

"And turn themselves into such a non-human, ghost-like form..."

Sterling Norwood chuckled, gently patting her back.

Yet his words carried a chilling message, "When a person reaches the extreme, none of this matters."

"No matter their original purpose for participating in the experiment, afterward, none of it matters."

"They have already forsaken their human identity."

Upon hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, Selena Kensington fell silent.

Indeed, if not for being on the brink or forced to the extreme.

Who would willingly join such dangerous experiments?

"Are those imposters very dangerous?"

Selena Kensington continued to ask.

Just hearing Spencer Norwood’s account, she understood partially.

Even the Hidden Guard of the Norwood Family lost considerable numbers to them.

Showing their evident danger.

No wonder the Godsbane Organization remained dormant for so long, waiting for this moment.

For when they possess enough imposters to confront the Norwood Family.

"Mmm..."

"Judging by the Norwood Family’s Hidden Guard, perhaps five guards would constitute an opponent for one imposter."

Selena Kensington couldn’t believe it, her eyes widened, "That terrifying..."

She had witnessed the skill of Norwood Family’s Hidden Guard.

Hope Norwood’s prowess left her deeply impressed.

Yet imposters require five Hidden Guards to contend with them; how terrifying must these individuals be...

Selena Kensington thought of those guarding the Jennings family, and her heart surged with concern.

"Will the Jennings family be in danger?!"

Selena Kensington anxiously asked.
