The Genius of Cloning in the Academy City-Chapter 107: Brotherhood – Violet Burns It All!

After dealing with a criminal organization as casually as having a snack, we moved on to the next stage.

「Evergreen Clinic Center?」

「It’s a hospital mainly dealing with severe injuries and neurological disorders.」

Using the information gathered on-site and from online sources, the Violets continued their discussion.

「From the introduction, it looks like just a regular hospital. Where are they conducting experiments?」

「It’s been closed for renovations for two years. They used construction as an excuse to shut it down.」

「Hmm, suspicious no matter how you look at it.」

We spent quite a while grappling with this issue. Initially, the prevailing opinion was to storm in immediately, but it was countered with arguments about insufficient information.

「We lack information—no idea about the internal structure, personnel, or defense levels.」

「Are we even sure Kalia’s uncle is there? This could be false intel.」

As opinions were exchanged, Violet No. 10 addressed the Violets who had remained at the Water Pigs’ hideout.

「You didn’t finish off all those thugs, did you?」

「We kept a few alive and are still interrogating them.」

「Perfect. Try to find out how they contact the hospital.」

「Contact them?」

No. 10’s idea spread through the Violet network. It was a good suggestion, and we all nodded in agreement one by one.

「Sounds great. Let’s get started right away!」

The next day, a car arrived at the back door of the closed Evergreen Clinic Center.

A doctor, responding to a message, stared blankly at a brown-haired girl with short hair and a thug standing beside her.

“Didn’t we deliver someone just the other day? Why are you back?”

“Well, we missed someone. Haha…”

“Seriously? Now I have to redo the list!”

The doctor grumbled, glancing repeatedly at the car.

The thug handed over the girl and returned to the hideout.

“I’ve done as you asked. So, you’ll let me go, right? And the payment…”

“Yeah, I’ll let you go. To heaven!”

A masked Violet, who had been hiding in the car, struck the thug on the head as he stepped out.

「They let us in on their own. Idiots! No need for infiltration.」

「How does it look inside?」

「You can see it too, right? Brings back memories. All research facilities seem the same.」

「Doing something like this in the middle of the city… These guys have guts!」

As the information entered our minds, we began formulating a plan.

The girl who had infiltrated was actually a disguised Violet.

Using one of the captured thugs, we managed to sneak Violet No. 231 in as an experimental subject.

Dressed in patient attire, she pretended to follow the staff’s instructions while observing her surroundings.

The Violets in command gathered the incoming information to estimate the facility’s security level, the guards’ armament, and the scale of the operation.

「Honestly, it’s on par with the facility where we were held.」

「But there are more people here. They’re not making them fight beasts, so what’s the purpose?」

The surveillance continued into the night.

「First, focus on finding the people. Target the restricted areas.」

「Got it!」

Clones formed between walls, ceilings, and floors, spreading carefully throughout the hospital.

Some avoided CCTV zones, moving cautiously.

「Found them!」

In the view of No. 483, a patient room appeared.

Inside, a red-haired middle-aged man was strapped to a bed.

The room was filled with unidentified medical equipment, with various tubes injecting vividly colored substances into him.

「He doesn’t look good, but that’s him!」

「It’s horrifying. Just in case, take photos.」

The Violets had found their target. It took two days of infiltration into the hospital.

「Right. Tell Daphne we might need her to stay a few more days if there are no issues.」

「Understood.」

After handling some personal errands and minor affairs, Daphne agreed positively.

Next, we shared the information we had gathered with Kalia.

“This photo—where did you get it?”

When Violet showed her the picture of her uncle, Kalia initially looked skeptical.

“There are ways. Anyway, is this him?”

She fell silent, staring intensely at the tablet screen.

Her green eyes blinked several times before erupting with volcanic emotion.

“Yes… That’s my uncle! Where is he? We have to rescue him right now!”

“Wait, Kalia. Calm down and listen to me.”

Seeing her on the verge of bursting out the door, several Violets clung to her.

It took a while for Kalia to catch her breath and regain composure.

“Ugh… Sorry, I lost it there. I still have a lot to learn. Charging in alone got me captured a few months ago, and yet…”

“Don’t beat yourself up! Your family’s missing. Anyone would react that way.”

“Thanks for saying that. First, I need to contact the Brotherhood.”

Determined, she picked up her phone.

“Marco! It’s me. Why am I calling at this hour? Gather everyone! I’ve got urgent news. The sooner, the better!”

Soon, the Brotherhood members gathered for an emergency meeting at a pub run by one of their own.

Most of them looked like rough, hot-tempered men.

“Kalia, you’re not making another mistake like last time, are you?”

A mustachioed man with arms crossed asked, and Kalia placed the tablet on the table.

“No, I’m certain! Look at this, everyone. Pictures and videos—this is clearly my uncle!”

The room fell silent as everyone gulped audibly.

“Dear God, it’s Rodriguez…”

“The leader! It has to be those damn gang bastards!”

“Could be a clan or a corporation. The leader’s an unregistered awakened.”

In her agitation, Kalia slammed the table, which singed slightly from her flame abilities.

Enraged, she unconsciously activated her unique power.

“Whatever the case, we know the location. We have to go rescue him now!”

Even the burly men were swept up in her commanding presence, raising their fists and shouting.

“That’s right. Let’s go now! The Brotherhood doesn’t abandon family!”

“Let’s rescue the leader!”

A man in a black vest with a mohawk and beard rose to his feet.

I turned to look—Marco, the man who picked me up in a truck when I escaped the lab.

“Calm down, everyone.”

“Marco! What are you saying?”

“If that place is a corporate lab, it’s too much for just us. We need a more cautious approach. We should hire mercenaries and ask for help from elsewhere.”

Marco’s logical point doused the excited atmosphere like cold water.

“Uncle Marco.”

“Kalia, I owe the leader my life too. Do you think I don’t want to save him? But you’ve experienced it yourself. Taking risks at our current level is dangerous.”

Kalia glanced at me and confidently smiled.

Before attending the Brotherhood meeting, the two of us had agreed on what to say.

Now was the time to reveal it.

“Don’t worry about that. I’ve hired the best problem-solvers.”

“Mercenaries?”

“There are ways. You’ll be shocked when you see them.”

At Kalia’s snap, the pub door opened.

The Violet Squad, clad in black combat gear, marched in, their presence exuding violence.

The Brotherhood members stared wide-eyed.

“What the…?”

“Explanations will take too long. Just get ready to move, guys!”

A few hours later, in the middle of the night, in the western district’s city center. Various cars arrived in front of the Evergreen Clinic Center, carrying people.

「Alright, the operation begins now. Are the internal teams ready?」

「Yes, I’ll start disabling the security right away.」

The Violet Squad, waiting outside, approached the building’s main entrance and surrounding windows, taking Kalia with them.

At the same time, inside, Violets who had been waiting in walls, floors, lockers, and bathrooms began moving after changing clothes.

“Head! The head!”

“Mmmpf!”

After quickly neutralizing the night guards, we secured Osprey Rodriguez, who was lying in a hospital bed. His pale face looked terrible.

「Rescue target secured!」

「Good. Now, we start the extermination operation.」

“Kalia, are you ready?”

“Of course! Let’s go in quickly.”

The Violet Squad entered the hospital through the main entrance.

Moving simultaneously inside and outside, we subdued the hospital staff.

“Argh! The test subject has escaped! Stay still!”

“Be quiet!”

-Tat-tat!

“Uwaaah!”

I struck down mercilessly. These people were all in on it together. No need to hold back.

In the past, the most terrifying disasters for wicked scientists were budgets, supervisors, and schedules.

-If you give us more budget!

-No. We’ll cut it even further. You have one day to fix this!

-Aaaargh!

So, what is the greatest disaster for modern scientists?

The answer: defective and illegal Violets born from reckless human experimentation!

Defective and illegal Violets created by Laplaxia have now become terrorist Violets who kill without hesitation.

So, this is all your fault. No mercy!

“Argh! My leg!”

“It’s an attack! Where are the guards?”

“Spare me! Aaaah!”

While the external Violets moved swiftly, the internal Violet unit also moved, carrying Kalia’s uncle on a bed.

Now, all we had to do was hand him over, but it felt like the guards were increasing.

-Bang! Bang!

“Not the best time for chit-chat, but doesn’t this remind you of the old days?”

After blasting a guard’s head off with a flame-infused bullet, Kalia spoke. I also pierced an Awakened Guard’s heart with a crossbow.

“Yeah! I remember! It was really tough back then.”

“Do you think there’s an Ogre-like guy here too?”

No sooner had she finished speaking than two massive black-clad guards burst through a wall.

“An attack? I don’t know which clan you belong to, but you’re not getting past us!”

“I’ll turn you into crushed tomatoes.”

I screamed as I saw them. Huge builds, sledgehammers in hand. It was a familiar sight.

“Oh, an Ogre! And there are two of them!”

Could it be that the Ogre I killed came back to life?

“What the hell, is wielding hammers trendy among guards now?”

Kalia muttered in disbelief. She must’ve thought of the same thing as me.

It had become troublesome.

These guys had barged in perfectly between the infiltration team carrying the bed and our forces advancing inside. Just when we were about to reunite. Unforgivable!

Three Violets charged at the fake Ogre guards.

Simultaneously, Kalia drew her pistol and sword, rushing at another one.

“Violet Stream Attack!”

“Hah, pathetic.”

-Whoosh!

A guard’s attack came flying.

In the past, I wouldn’t have been able to dodge it, but now I was different.

The leading Violet ducked low, dodging the hammer.

The second Violet leaped off the first Violet’s back just before the hammer struck. At the same time, the third Violet in the rear pulled out a crossbow aimed at the guard’s lower body.

“Argh! My leg!”

“Die!”

The second Violet plunged a knife into the throat of the guard who had collapsed in pain. His attacks were pathetic—slower than Kalia or Irene!

“Graaah!”

-Bang! Bang!

While I was subduing one guard, Kalia took care of the other fake Ogre. She made sure to finish him off thoroughly.

“This feels different from back then.”

“You weren’t trained back then. And I was in terrible shape after being beaten up and starved.”

That’s true. I could feel how much stronger we had become.

After taking down the hammer-wielding guards, we received the bed from the infiltration team waiting nearby.

“Uncle…!”

“Go quickly.”

“What about you?”

“We still have work to do. Didn’t we tell the Brotherhood? We promised to save the others inside too.”

Kalia nodded. Accompanied by the Violets, she left with her uncle. Watching the ambulance carrying Kalia and her uncle leave, we continued our mission.

「Team 1, escort the patients out. Team 2, check if anything’s left.」

「What about us?」

「Lay explosives and set the incendiaries.」

The Violets rescued the pitiful test subjects, leading them outside.

The reactions were varied.

“Hey! Come on out! We’ll send you home!”

“Please don’t kill me!”

“Are you the police? The Inspection Bureau? I’m saved!”

We crushed anything in our way as we scoured the facility.

“Ugh! Why is everyone here so obsessed with brains?”

Violet No. 471, inspecting a restricted area of the lab, flinched. On the surgical table lay extracted brains stored in transparent containers. Disturbingly, the brains seemed alive.

「There’s more here! A ton of them!」

「Rescue targets secured!」

「Take only what’s nearby. We don’t have time. This is in the middle of the city. The police or their reinforcements will arrive soon. Retreat quickly!」

Hearing the headquarters’ urgent orders, the Violets hurriedly left. Before long, cars carrying the victims of the human experiments, the Violet Squad, and the Brotherhood started their engines and disappeared into the darkness.

「Detonate!」

Soon, flames erupted. The Evergreen Clinic Center collapsed amidst explosions and fire caused by the incendiaries.

The remaining Violets watched until the end. Police cars and fire trucks, arriving late, surrounded the burning hospital. Suspicious black vehicles showed up, engaging in a tense standoff with the police.

「Operation successful!」

「How’s her uncle?」

「Daphne is treating him.」

Bringing Daphne along was helpful. She was currently checking the patient’s condition in the ambulance.

“It was a really dangerous situation. How did this even happen…?”

As Daphne finished explaining after her treatment, Kalia spoke urgently.

“So? What’s his condition?”

“He’s passed the critical stage! I’ve treated him, but he’ll need long-term hospitalization.”

“Thank goodness… Thank you…”

Hearing the answer, Kalia let out a sigh of relief.

The convoy sped down the early morning roads, heading quickly toward the central district.

「You know this isn’t over, right?」

「Yeah. But for now, I’m going to sleep and think later.」

For now, I decided not to think about it until we got back. Today, we had twisted one of the storylines five years into the main narrative.

No, maybe it had already gone off course long ago, so it didn’t matter anymore.

Whatever it was, it didn’t matter.

Today, the Violets destroyed another wicked laboratory!
