The lost heiress never forgiven

Chapter 503 A Dangerous Bargain

White’s face darkened instantly. Gone was his previous leisure–his expression twisted into something sharp and venomous.

“I never should’ve gone easy on you,” he spat.

Their current research was all built on Jonathan’s original models. Each new generation of tech might have looked different, but the core remained unchanged. He had wanted to go further, reach new heights -but the idiots under him were incapable of delivering.

He couldn’t understand how Jonathan’s brain worked–how someone could outclass so many others so thoroughly.

That was why he had turned to neural expansion–researching the development of the brain. And even then, none of his people could match Jonathan.

White’s expression turned even colder.

He glared at Jonathan. “You really are courting death.”
