Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 490: Experimental Progress

"Please take a look."

After that, Sean Norwood took a test tube containing blood and extracted a drop from it.

He dropped it into the box.

The drop of blood landed precisely on the back of the white mouse.

Once the blood drop hit, white smoke billowed from the mouse’s back, and as the smoke cleared, the corroded back of the mouse was revealed.

The flesh and bone inside were exposed.

The mouse let out a few miserable cries and scurried frantically around the box.

Sterling Norwood watched the mouse’s reaction, squinting his eyes slightly.

A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

His entire aura suddenly turned heavy.

"The mixture you’ve developed doesn’t seem to be of much use."

Sean, standing by, continued to make notes on this experiment.

Upon hearing Sterling’s words, he put away his clipboard and replied.

"This is already a significant advance. As your bloodline awakens, your blood becomes increasingly potent against these creatures."

"Before using the mixture, your blood could almost kill a mouse."

"After using the mixture, your blood still has a corrosive effect, but it’s no longer lethal."

Sean stated.

Sterling raised his hand slightly, "But I don’t have much time left."

Experiencing the strength emanating from his hand, he spoke.

Two ’accidents’ have already occurred, and the issues with their bloodline remain unresolved.

This made Sterling feel somewhat agitated.

However, since Sean’s return, the research had indeed seen great progress.

Sean paused and exchanged a glance with Dr. Norwood.

"Family Head, there’s some bad news we must tell you."

Upon hearing this, Sterling lifted his gaze slightly.

The heavy suppression of the bloodline surged towards Sean.

Though he felt the suppression from the depths of the bloodline, Sean’s expression remained unchanged.

"Speak."

After casting a glance at Sean, Sterling withdrew his bloodline suppression.

"Please look over here."

After speaking, Sean moved to the other side of the experiment table.

"Inside here, are the blood samples previously collected from you."

Sean pointed to a small box placed in the center of the experiment table and said.

Upon hearing this, Sterling looked over.

In the next moment, his pupils slightly contracted.

The blood inexplicably coagulated together, more like it had solidified into a form.

It lay quietly in the box.

Sean sighed lightly, "Initially, the mixture integrated well enough to dilute your blood."

"But as the experiments progressed, your blood seemed to reject the mixture."

Spencer Norwood’s eyes flashed with surprise.

He didn’t understand the research, but from Sean’s words, he could infer some details.

"You mean, the blood developed antibodies on its own?!"

"How is that possible? Blood shouldn’t retain activity for so long outside the body."

Spencer’s words brought silence over everyone in the room.

By common logic, blood should not remain active once removed from the body, much less generate antibodies on its own.

Sean was silent for a moment, "Perhaps it’s not antibodies but the blood’s innate repulsion reaction."

The Beast Lord bloodline is the mightiest and most dominant bloodline under the sun.

As a Beast Lord, it naturally possesses arrogance and dominance.

How could it allow its blood to be contaminated by other things?

If the bloodline within Sterling had been forced to sleep and be repressed before, after awakening, Sterling’s blood would become aware and active.

The blood’s instincts had been triggered.

Collecting blood from him now inherently carried a level of danger.

Listening to Sean’s words, with every sentence said, the darkness in Sterling’s eyes grew deeper.

Dr. Norwood nodded alongside him, continuing Sean’s explanation, "The noble bloodline will not tolerate anything to taint it."

"Unless..."

Dr. Norwood and Sean exchanged a glance and then both looked at Sterling.

Without hesitation, Sterling refused them and looked warningly at both, "Don’t target her."

"Whatever method you use is fine, but if anyone tells her about this..."

"The Norwood Family does not tolerate disobedience."

The chilling warning words left his mouth.

A strong oppressive atmosphere spread from him, suffocating the entire laboratory.

And the suppression and warning emanating from his bloodline almost suffocated the Norwood family members in the lab.

They could clearly feel that Sterling was angry.

Sterling understood Dr. Norwood and Sean’s intentions.

The noble Beast Lord bloodline no longer benefits from the mixture.

The only thing that the Beast Lord bloodline could accept, aside from the Heavenly Master Bloodline, was nothing else.

From ancient times to now, the Heavenly Master Bloodline has always carried a fatal allure to the Beast Lord bloodline.

They intended to involve Selena Kensington in the experiment as well.

Naturally, Sterling would not allow them to proceed.

This matter was something he alone would bear.

This was why Sterling warned them before Dr. Norwood even finished speaking.

To make them abandon this idea.

Sean sighed helplessly in his heart.

They clearly understood the magnitude of the risk in this decision.

After all, Selena Kensington was Sterling’s reverse scale.

Anything involving her, Sterling would not agree to.

Moreover, the experiment itself required a vast amount of blood, and even Sterling, at the time, struggled to endure it, his face remaining pale for several days before recovering.

Hence, Sterling would not allow Selena to get involved in this matter. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

However...

"Researching a new mixture, this matter I don’t want to hear about again."

After leaving these words, Sterling turned and left the laboratory.

Behind him, Spencer and Sean exchanged a helpless glance, then Spencer followed suit.

After Sterling left, only then did Sean and Dr. Norwood disperse.

Preparing to research a new mixture.

*

After leaving the training camp, Sterling returned to the main residence.

He entered the main residence and asked the servants in the hall, "Where is Madam?"

The servants of the main residence answered him, "Madam is taking a nap."

Upon getting the answer, Sterling went upstairs.

When he opened the door, he saw a slight rise in the corner of the bed in the bedroom.

Selena was truly asleep.

Upon realizing this, Sterling’s footsteps became much lighter.

He approached and sat by the bed.

He reached out his hand and placed it on the blood vessels in Selena’s arm.

Sterling closed his eyes, sensing the flow of blood within Selena.

The warmth, carrying a sense of heat, wrapped around him.

Causing him to be unable to suppress the greed and desire for more.

His own blood seemed to become frenzied due to contact with the Heavenly Master Bloodline within Selena.

The strong stimulations almost overwhelmed his mental controls.

Yet he forcibly suppressed the excitement within himself.
