The Undying Mecha Emperor-Chapter 27 Operation Lightning Storm

"We will take our leave now. Father, have a good day." Jason announced and literally dragged Isabella away. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

"NO! I WON'T GO! I STILL HAVE THINGS TO SAY! EMMA YOU LITTLE B*TCH! YOU MUST HAVE BRAINWASHED YOUR GRANDFATHER! THE WAY YOUR SL*T OF A MOTHER BRAINWASHED YOUR FATHER!" Isabella screamed as she struggled against Jason's tight grip.

"Shut up Isabella!" Jason hissed and tried to drag her away faster. But Isabella was not so easily defeated. She was, afterall, a daughter of a military family.

She twisted and turned expertly, causing Jason no small amount of trouble. Jason had to step in and utilize both hands to counter her expert moves.

A full blown fight was about to erupt! And, very strangely, internally within the faction that was obviously biased against Emma!

"Stop." The old man said quietly. "Let her express herself."

Jason opened his mouth to say something, but was immediately silenced by a look from the old man. He sighed in resignation and relaxed his grip on Isabella.

Isabella flung Jason's hands away angrily and marched back into the room, her towering rage displayed prominently on her bruised but still coldly beautiful face.

"FATHER! That little b*tch Emma is not to be trusted!" Isabella spat venomously.

Her anger at being slapped had obviously loosened her self-control over her tongue.

"She must have planned this little 'kidnapping' as an evil scheme to weasel you out of our family treasure! Otherwise, how could she have escaped from her kidnappers with just the help of a little runt like him?!" Isabella pointed her slender fingers at me.

"It must be a staged kidnapping! I am sure of it. How dare she covet the Gene Optimizing Pill even after receiving the benefits of a Gene Cleansing Pill! What a greedy little b*tch!" Isabella cursed at Emma hatefully. "Father, you cannot give the Gene Optimizing Pill to her! It is like throwing pearls at swine!"

"Really. Then who do you think I should give the Gene Optimizing Pill to?" The old man said with a cold gleam of anger in his eyes.

Isabella seemed rather surprised at the question, but she recovered remarkably quickly. "Why, of course to your grandchildren! Catherine and Elizabeth here have excellent scores in their Resonance Purity Levels!

Catherine scored a seventy two and Elizabeth scored an unbelievable seventy eight! They are both Elites! The Gene Optimizing Pill would improve their Resonance Purity Levels by a huge margin and they might even breakthrough in score to ninety, into the Gifted level!"

The two oldest girls who looked a lot like Isabella immediately nodded their heads enthusiastically. They must be Catherine and Elizabeth.

A pretty girl of around fourteen who looked a lot like Jason glanced at the final girl, who was merely around my age.

She met her cousin's glance and merely shrugged as she maintained an expressionless face. There was not a whit of emotion on her face, even though she had just been excluded from her mom's 'potential recipient' list of the Gene Optimizing Pill. Her self control was not bad for a ten year old girl. Not bad at all.

"The other one you can give to Jeremy. He is an Elite too!" Isabella continued. She flashed a look to Jason which said "Look! I'm still looking after your interest even after you slapped me!"

Jason merely sighed and looked away. He knew that she had crossed the line. She shouldn't have talked about the death of her 'niece'. That was the old man's bottom line and everybody knew it.

Although he had come to try and prevent the Gene Optimizing Pill from falling into an outsider's hands as well, he had no intention of crossing his father.

"She should have known better than that! How could she expect the old man to give her the Gene Optimizing Pill if she went beyond his bottomline like that? What a dumbo." His facial expression seemed to say.

I have to say, I agree with him. Isabella truly was a dumbo. However, Jason probably did not know that his sister was more than just a dumbo. He had no idea just how far into the darkness his sister had fallen to. Not yet.

"So you're saying that Emma staged the kidnapping, starved herself to the brink of death, got a butcher to operate on her and took out her own kidney, and then came back after a year with her 'savior' so that she could make me give him a Gene Optimizing Pill which would be passed on to her?" The old man gave a cold smile as a deeply ferocious aura seeped out from him.

At that time, even Isabella, for all her thick headedness, could sense that something was horribly wrong. But she had gone too far to turn back. She could only go all in.

"Yes!" Isabella cried out passionately. "Don't you see? All of that self-suffering was to make the kidnapping more realistic! What is a kidney and a portion of a liver compared to a Gene Optimizing Pill? It was part of her plan! She's a devious snake, just like her mother!"

At that, a thunderous silence filled the air.

"I see. I finally see…" The old man said heavily after a while. "I did not believe… No, I had refused to believe it until now…"

He glanced at Jason whose face showed a growing sense of horror and disbelief. The old man sighed. He knew that as a high ranking military officer, there was no way that Jason missed it.

"You have to believe it, Father! I know it is difficult to come to terms with it, but the light of truth can never be hidden, even by the darkest of night!" Isabella's tone turned soft and as she gently helped her aged but still powerful father to sit back down.

"Thank goodness we discovered her schemes before it was too late!" Isabella gave Emma a vicious and triumphant look.

Emma simply blinked back at her with a highly amused expression. She must have caught the slip as well.

"Men." The old man called out with a heavy but determined voice. He pushed Isabella away and closed his eyes, as if steeling his heart for a big decision. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

Isabella frowned slightly. A growing sense of unease blossomed in her heart, but she could not for the world figure out why.

Immediately, three burly men in military uniforms entered the room and saluted the old man smartly.

"Execute Operation Lightning Storm."
