Chapter 413Chapter 413 The True Objective
Outside the villa, Eaton and the group of bodyguards could hear the screams coming from inside, they
frequently looked towards the house.
Eaton thought to himself, “They are indeed brutal, to the point of making someone scream like this! But
please don’t torture him to death…”
However, it seemed that Lewis inside the house didn’t hear his thoughts.
Lewis maintained a calm expression on his face while exerting full force with his hand.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Albert’s screams became increasingly intense, and his eyes appeared as if they were about to burst.
This kind of pain, comparable to being slowly tortured with a knife, made him wish for a quick death.
Unfortunately, Lewis showed no intention of letting go.
“What’s the matter? Don’t you plan on talking?” Gene, standing beside him, asked casually as if he
were watching a play. It seemed that if Lewis got tired, he would step in to help.
“Do you plan on trying other torture methods?” Gene continued, cracking his fingers.
Faced with these two demonic individuals, Albert couldn’t bear it any longer. He struggled and shouted,
“I’ll talk… I’ll talk!”
Chapter 413 The True Objective
Finally, Lewis stopped when he heard Albert’s words.As he pulled his hand back, blood dripped from his fingers.
The bright red colour was both shocking and terrifying.
However, Lewis did not attempt to wipe it off and spoke indifferently, “Speak up. Don’t disappoint me.”
Albert trembled as he gasped for breath, his body covered in a cold sweat.
It took him a while to recover, and he shakily answered the questions they had asked earlier.
Around 11:30a.m.
Aletta was at home, anxiously waiting for news from Lewis and Gene. She thought things weren’t going
well since she hadn’t heard anything yet.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookJust as she was considering whether to ask about the situation, she received a call from Lewis.
As soon as Aletta saw the caller ID, she quickly walked out of the yard and answered the call. “Lewis,
how did it go?”
Lewis’s voice came through the phone, “We’re done questioning him.”
Aletta’s heart skipped a beat as she asked, “What did he say?”
“Two bad news,” Lewis’s tone was not good, tinged with seriousness.

“As we initially suspected, they haven’t developed an antidote at all. The other bad news is that even
Albert doesn’t know the complete formula of X-1. According to him, the Hunter Group is divided intoseveral teams for research and development, and the formula is highly classified. Only the person in
charge of the entire project, Professor Peter, has access to all the information.”
“Professor Peter?”
Aletta furrowed her brows upon hearing the name, feeling a sense of familiarity.
She had heard this name somewhere before.
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized and asked urgently, “Is it the same Professor Peter
that I know?”
Twenty-something years ago, there was a medical genius who had achieved countless astonishing
research and accomplishments.
Countless people revered and idolized him, raising him to the status of a deity.
However, there was a fine line between genius and madness.
Professor Peter became obsessed with his research, he developed numerous illicit drugs within a few
years that caused the deaths of thousands of people.
Once the truth was exposed, his reputation was utterly destroyed, and he became a wanted fugitive in
his own country.
Later, mysteriously, Professor Peter vanished without a trace.
Never in her wildest dreams did Aletta expect to hear this name at this moment!
Chapter 413 The True Objective

involved with the Hunter Group after disappearing for so many years.
But let’s not dwell on Professor Peter for now. Albert had clarified
his intentions. He targeted you because you had a unique physique.”
Aletta felt puzzled. What was special about her physique?
Lewis explained, “Do you remember when we first went to the headquarters of the Medical League,
and you accidentally knocked over a vial of liquid in Albert’s office?”
Aletta pondered for a moment, vaguely recalling the incident. She nodded and said, “Yes.”
Lewis continued, “That liquid was supposedly one of the newly developed illicit drugs at the time…
One of the research members of Albert’s team died shortly after coming into contact with it.
They conducted numerous experiments on animals with that liquid, and without exception, it was
deadly.
But astonishingly, you came into contact with it and emerged unscathed…
Later, when you were giving birth at the hospital, Albert personally went to confirm because he
suspected that the substance had been transferred to your child.
However, after a thorough examination, your child was perfectly fine, so he set his sights on you!”
As Aletta listened to Lewis’s words, her face turned grim.
Chapter 413 The True ObjectiveShe asked, “Even so, why did he send the children to the Hill family?”

Upon hearing this, Lewis scoffed, seemingly reminded of something. “According to Albert’s explanation,
he initially wanted to establish a ‘favourable relationship’ with the Hill family. After all, the Hill family’s
wealth is highly attractive to researchers. If he ever needs it in the future, he plans to leverage that
connection!”
Beside him, Gene couldn’t contain his disgust and spat out, “How shameless! What a despicable
person!”
He was infuriated.
Aletta’s expression grew dark as she listened to all this, looking incredibly unpleasant.
All for such a reason, that scum took away her two children, causing them to be separated from their
mother for so long!
The most terrifying was that years of planning were dedicated to achieving such a selfish objective!
Just the thought of it now sent shivers down Aletta’s spine!
Lewis’s tone was heavy as he continued, “Aletta, after pressing him repeatedly about the medication,
Albert should not have lied…. So, it seems we’ll have to rely on ourselves for the next steps… But let’s
not dwell on that. Gene and I will return to the research institute.”
Receiving so much information at once, Aletta couldn’t fully process her emotions.
She could only instinctively respond, “All right, thank you for your efforts.”Chapter 413 The True Objective
After hanging up the phone, a chill swept over Aletta’s back, making her feel as if she had fallen into an
icy pit.

She stood in the courtyard for a long time, her body was stiffened by the wind, without making any
movements.
She had thought that she could find a breakthrough for X-1’s antidote from Albert, but instead, she was
told that they were on their own. It was like going back to square one.
Time was running out for her!
She didn’t know when the unfinished product she had injected would lose its effect.
When that happened, she wasn’t confident that she could continue hiding it from Jason.
“Mommy, why are you standing here?”
At that moment, the voices of the children suddenly came from behind, bringing Aletta back to reality.
She turned her head and saw the children standing side by side, looking at her with confusion.
“Mommy! Why does your face look a bit off? Are you feeling unwell?”
