"Knight" took the ID card and thanked Hamon’s Guard Captain.
Only after they left did he walk toward the bedroom.
On the bed, a weak man was receiving treatnt from the Martial Healer beside him.
The man’s eyes were shut tight, and his bare torso was covered in Golden Needles.
His skin was very pale, but on it were two bluish-purple handprints, the clear marks of a heavy blow.
"Doctor, how is my brother’s condition?"
"His internal injuries are severe and weren’t treated promptly. I can only say I will do my best."
"Knight" seed very upset. He sat on the edge of the bed, holding the man’s hand. "I will heal you."
The man on the bed slowly curved his lips into a smile and raised a hand to caress his face. "I want to drink so chicken soup. Can you make so for , please?"
"Knight" nodded and imdiately walked out.
After he left, the man on the bed suddenly asked the Martial Healer beside him, "Doctor, can you examine my little brother for ?"
The Martial Healer glanced back, asking in confusion, "He looks perfectly healthy."
But the man pointed to his own head. "His head suffered a severe trauma. I think he has amnesia..."

「Elsewhere.」
The Prince’s Manor, Ocrean Empire.
Dick Oak lay weakly on his bed, listening to a report from his trusted subordinate.
He was in terrible condition. His face was ashen, his limbs were paralyzed, and he would never be able to get up again for the rest of his life.
The perpetrator of all this was Aurora Sinclair, who had beco the perfect Son of God.
After her Beast Gene was 100% activated, they had placed her in a nutrient therapy pod to repair her body.
After more than ten days of destruction, repair, and activation, she seed to have beco the first "perfect body" described in the Young Family Notes.
A person whose genetics were infinitely close to the human Constitution of Ancient Tis.
According to partial records from the Young Family Notes, Professor Young had been researching the genetic bloodlines of the three surviving descendants of the Martial Gods. He hoped to uncover the secret to the powerful physical constitution of humans from Ancient Tis to cure his daughter’s illness.
He discovered a commonality among Yamada, the Lowell Family, and Mr. D: their blood contained a certain special protein at a higher concentration than in ordinary people.
This led him to develop S Active Cells, which could unlock human potential and improve one’s physical constitution. However, he never expected that once the S Active Cells reached a certain threshold, they would activate the human Beast Gene, causing atavistic regression and turning people into irrational monsters.
But after Professor Young and his family t a tragic end, his notes were split into three parts and disappeared without a trace.
"The Master said that Professor Young had likely found a solution before his death and told us to keep an eye on his descendants."
"Aurora Sinclair will very likely beco the most perfect Son of God."
’Now, her physical constitution has indeed reached the pinnacle of humanity; you could even say she’s beco superhuman.’
’But she’s not under their control. Instead, she destroyed and my entire bunker.’
"Prince, according to our spies’ secret report, they’ve already escaped to Luvia. They’ve even been received hospitably by the Luvian Royal Family. It’s just that... Aurora Sinclair seems to have amnesia..."
"What does the Master say?"
"The Master fears she might exhibit the sa aftereffects as previous test subjects and has ordered us to observe her behavior from a close distance."
"Have the spies keep a tight watch on them..."
A flicker of worry appeared in Dick’s eyes.
’A split personality?’

A high-end apartnt in the Luvian Empire—
The girl was carefully wiping the man on the bed with a hot towel.
The man was a little shy, only letting him wipe his upper body before grabbing his hand.
"Rory, your big brother has scheduled an appointnt for you with a psychologist. Maybe it can help with your amnesia..."
The girl froze for a mont, then gave a slight nod.
Her mind had been a complete blank ever since she woke up. There was only this man before her, looking at her with a worried expression.
He had whispered to her that everyone around them was a bad person and that she had to work with him to escape.
During their escape, he had been struck and suffered internal injuries while saving her.
And when she saw him being beaten, she had, for so unknown reason, reflexively blocked the attacks and crippled everyone in front of her.
Along the way, he had told her many things: that her na was Dawn Miles, his was Elias Lennox, and that she was his junior sister and also his fiancée.
They had originally co to the Continent of Southeland to attend an auction at The Phantom Trove, but unexpectedly, a prince from the Ocrean Empire had taken a fancy to her beauty and forcibly abducted her.
Now, they needed to evade the Ocrean Empire’s pursuit and find a chance to return to Unoria, their holand.
But his injuries seed very severe, so she could only disguise herself as a man and fight in boxing rings to earn money for his treatnt, fleeing south all the way to the Luvian Empire.
