Author’s POV:

“I must say, my luck is quite extraordinary, Queen of Clubsughed. “When I need something, it simply appears b– /beven rare human gic material.”

At the mention of “human gic material,” bthe /bwoman standing behind the Queen of Clubs b– /bSelene nced subtly at Jade, her expression carefully neutral.

“Shadow was my most brilliant, most perfect creation,” Queen of Clubs continued. “Such a waste of potential. Such a shame she had to

die.”

Jade met her gaze with sardonic eyes, watching Queen of Clubs feign grief with crocodile tears.

“Don’t worry,” the woman said, her lips curving into a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Your genes will help us create a new generation of operatives. Isn’t that poeticb? /bUsing your DNA to create assassins who will forever serve the organization you despise most.” fn2a89 Chapters first released on findnovel/fn2a89

A team of researchers approached Jade’s cellb, /bcarrying syringes and collection vials. The ss wall slid open just enough to allow their instruments through. One of them extracted blood samples from her arm while another prepared a yellow serum in arge syringe.

The needle pierced Jade’s skin, and immediately she felt warmth spreading through her veins, followed by a wave of weakness. Her limbs became useless, unable to resist as they connected various monitoring devices to her body.

“Three months,” Queen of Clubs instructed the head researcher. “I want herplete gic sequence extracted within three months. And I expect preliminary data in 48 hours.”

With a satisfied look at Jade, she turned and walked away. Selene nced at the ss chamber onest time, then at theboratory she’d apparently never seen before, before following her superior.

Back on the ground floor, a subordinate approached them. “Ma’am, radar and signals have been restored. The vehicle outside has departed as well.”

Queen of Clubs nodded before heading upstairs.

Selene followed behind her. “Ma’am, are you nning to clone her?” she asked suddenly.

‘Are you interested?” Queen of Clubs replied without turning around.

‘I’ve only heard about this technology but never witnessed it. Is she the first test subject?”

Queen of Clubs turned, eyes narrowed with suspicion. “What exactly do you want to know?”

“Nothing specific,” Selene said carefully. “I was just wondering – Shadow’s genes were so powerful. Did you ever extract them? Perhaps Ace bof /bbSpades/b, King of Heartsb, /band Umbra might still be alive if you had.”

“Shadow was my most cherished, my proudest kid,” Queen of Clubs said. “How could I bear to use her that way?”

She suddenly turned, studying Selene intently. “If I had known things would turn out like this, perhaps I should have been more ruthless back then. Now bAce/bb, /bKing, and Eclipse are all dead. Our organization has suffered heavy losses and begun its declineb./bb” /b

“The organization won’t decline,” Selene assured her. “Aren’t you nning to clone her to strengthen Shadow? Soon, the organization will regain its former power.”

“That’s far from enough,” Queen of Clubs said thoughtfully. “So, Selene, are you willing to contribute to Shadow’s causeb?/bb” /b

Selene’s mind shed to Jade’s warning in the car: “The organization is experiencing severe personnel losses. Soon there will be another ‘failed mission‘ report – including you.”

“My life belongs to Shadow,” Selene dered. “I’m willing to follow anymand from Shadow, including giving my life.”

Queen of Clubs nodded with satisfaction, patting Selene’s shoulder approvingly.

b“/bMa’am, that girl’sbat abilities rival Shadow’s, and she’s extremely cunning. Let me watch her downstairs,” Selene suggested.

“Go ahead. I’ll open the door for you.”

Selene returned to the first floor, standing before the bookshelf, waiting for Queen of Clubs to activate the mechanism from the control room upstairs.

Days passed. Jade’s body was covered in needle marks, connected to various monitoring equipment. The researchers had submitted their preliminary data to Queen of Clubs, who seemed pleased with their findings. The scientific team finally had a break, and theboratory grew quiet.
