Priscilla was a little nervous, so she grabbed Tristan's shirt tightly. Then, she pressed herself against Tristan's chest with a worried expression until he could feel her warm breath wafter over his nose. His face instantly flushed red out of embarrassment.

He was getting aroused because of her! If they weren't in an emergency right now, he would definitely think that Priscilla did it on purpose.

Meanwhile, Priscilla was clueless about Tristan's little schemes, and she was on full alert. After seeing this, Tristan felt sorry for her.

In the past few years, she had been living with fear and caution. She would have a mental breakdown whenever she felt nervous, and it was really heartbreaking.

At this thought, Tristan stretched out his arm and wrapped it tightly around her waist. Their breaths interweaved, and both of them looked as if they were flirting with each other.

Priscilla finally realised the situation, and she wanted to break free, but Tristan tightened his grip on her. After all, she could almost feel the scorching heat emanating from his body. She immediately blushed when she saw this.

Meanwhile, Tristan enjoyed seeing her shyness. Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything to imitate because of the current location.

Hence, he calmed down instantly. Suddenly, he heard the basement door being opened as some people came up from below.

"Be careful. This blood is extremely precious. That's all we have, so don't waste it."

The leader was wearing a mask, so it was impossible to see his face. However, the bottle of blood in his hands looked familiar.

It was Desmond's blood!

The blue-coloured blood was shining immensely. Tristan's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this. He wasn't sure whether the blood was sent over or taken on the spot. Therefore, it was hard to locate Desmond's exact position.

Priscilla also saw it, and she couldn't help but want to follow them, but Tristan stopped her.

He shook his head at her and said after those people left, "It's more important to find Desmond now."

"But if those people got thorough study of the blood's composition, it would also be a disaster."

Priscilla was very worried about this.

Tristan had told her that Desmond's blood was extremely valuable. Hence, it would be disastrous If it was used by people with evil intentions.

"It's okay. I'll make sure that their research doesn't succeed."

A hint of coldness flashed in Tristan's eyes.

He followed swiftly and knocked out the last member of the group while they were off guard. Then, he ripped off the latter's white coat and put it on. Priscilla, on the other hand, helped drag him away. These people were all wearing masks, so Tristan quickly sneaked in without suspicion.

He looked at the leader who brought Desmond's blood into the laboratory. Then, the person said excitedly, "Jose has not come yet, and this blood must be kept well. When Jose arrives tomorrow, we can start to study it. It's really magical. I've never seen blue blood before."

The others were also overjoyed.

Tristan fell into deep thought after hearing what they had said.

Did Jose Fang not arrive yet?

Then who was the person on the plane?

Why did the red dot indicate that Desmond's whereabouts were on the plane?

Where on earth was Jose then?

A series of questions flashed through Tristan's mind, but he quickly restrained his emotions. Then, he looked at the leader who put the blood in the safe with a preservation function cautiously.

While Tristan was following them, he planned to stay in the team to see if Desmond was present. Meanwhile, Priscilla was a little anxious.

They had no idea how many people there were, or whether there was a trap awaiting for them. What could happen if Tristan followed them in so rashly?

Despite so, she couldn't go out again, which made her even more anxious.

Tristan knew that Priscilla was worried about himself. However, he had no time to explain anything to her.

Hence, Priscilla watched helplessly as Tristan left with those people. She was so worried that she wanted to follow in, but she also thought of the Acker family, Teagan, and the other people. What if both her and Tristan were detained? Who would send information to Teagan?

Priscilla felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about this, but she held back the urge to follow up.

Looking at the safe that held Desmond's blood, she suddenly thought of Tristan's words.

He said that they would not succeed in the experiment, which meant that Tristan had a plan. Upon seeing how Tristan left with those people, she was not sure when this plan would be implemented. At this thought, she narrowed her eyes slightly and quietly went forward. Then, she opened the safe and took out Desmond's blood using the skills she had learned a long time ago. Then she quickly left the military institute and walked toward the Acker family.

She believed that Tristan wanted her to do this, so she did it. Then, she would inform the Acker family and her people to save Tristan.

Meanwhile, Tristan followed these people down the stairs for a moment. During this period, there were all kinds of spot- checks that happened. Fortunately, he was quite alert and managed to get through. Finally, he arrived at the tunnels under the Fang family. It was the first time that Tristan had seen Desmond.

After being injected with sedatives, Desmond was sleeping quietly in a glass coffin.

He was surrounded by all kinds of instruments, which made him look like a lab rat that was being researched.

Tristan suddenly felt sorry for him.

He heard from Nathaniel that Desmond lived this kind of life since childhood. He was a doctor and studied various conditions. Naturally, he knew what Desmond was going through. Tristan's eyes darkened a little as he recalled the blue blood he saw.

After all, Tristan knew Desmond's plan, and Nathaniel also asked him to protect Desmond. Therefore, he had to be on his guard.

He was currently at the military research institute. This place would have been equipped with an advanced monitoring system. Therefore, the signals here would be blocked, so it would be nearly impossible for Tristan to send message to the outside world.

Just then, he wondered if Priscilla had gone back.

He hoped that she would not follow him.

Tristan thought and left with the group of people.

He knew that he couldn't stay here for a long period. Otherwise, he would be suspected. However, he couldn't stay hidden for too long either. This was because there was a biometric security system where the personnel had to scan their fingerprints before they left.

After that, Tristan memorised Desmond's position and left quickly when everyone was not paying attention.

He didn't know whether Priscilla would destroy Desmond's blood. However, the most important thing at the moment was to save Desmond first.

Then, Tristan escaped the patrol team with his agility and quickly approached the glass coffin where Desmond was in.

When he was about to turn off electricity, Desmond suddenly opened his eyes.

"Don't move! It will trigger the alarm."

Tristan paused slightly after hearing this. Then, he noticed the vigilance in Desmond's eyes.

This was the first time he saw Desmond and his blue eyes. He immediately understood the reason many people wanted to study him.

"I'm Tristan Acker."

He quickly revealed his identity as he was worried that both would end up fighting.

Desmond woke up so quickly even though he was sedated, so it seemed that he was prepared for this.

Upon knowing Tristain's identity, the vigilance in Desmond's eyes suddenly dissipated. Then, he responded kindly.

"Don't save me first. Jose didn't come, neither did the person behind him. They brought me here to attract you guys over, so I don't know what his real purpose is." Tristan frowned after hearing what Desmond had said.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not sure. I heard Jose say so before I fell into a coma, but I don't know what they're planning. Thus, you shouldn't save me for now."

Desmond wasn't able to resist as they had injected sedatives in him forcefully. Although he had quite a resistance towards it, he still couldn't resist the effects of it. Tristan pondered for a moment, and it seemed that he had understood something.

"Will it be dangerous for you to stay here alone?"

"Of course. If we can't find out the people behind this and wipe out these people completely, none of us will have a good time."

Then, Desmond said in a low voice, "You are a doctor, so you should have a way to change my blood composition, right?"

"Yes, but it may disappoint you. From the time Nathaniel passed your blood to me for research, I found that the violent factor in your body does not belong to human genes. Perhaps it was injected when you were still in the womb. If I've guessed right, your mother must've died because she couldn't withstand it."

After hearing Tristan's words, Desmond's eyes darkened a little.

Since birth, he had never seen his mother, and he did not know who his parents were. Furthermore, he had no idea where they were buried. In short, he knew nothing about them. Thus, he could not help but feel sad once he heard Tristan's guess.

"I don't know. I've never seen them."

"I will help you check the identity of your parents, but the most important thing now is to resolve the violent factor in your body. We can only neutralise these things with other genes. It may cause you some pain, but it can't be achieved in a short time. So you have to be prepared for it."

Then, Desmond looked at Tristan and muttered, "Can I be the same as an ordinary person?"

"Of course, I will find a way to correct the genes in your body that don't belong to human genes. But this is not something that can be achieved overnight. Besides, your current situation is risky. The person behind the scenes may do something to you at any time, so I'm really conflicted."

This was why Tristan was hesitating as well.

However, Desmond said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. I'm willing to do anything as long as I can be an ordinary person. I have suffered most of my life since young. There is no pain I can't bear, nor anything that I can't stand. So please help me, Tristan."

"Alright. In that case, I will do my best to help you. Now, I will give you an injection. Even if they pull out your blood, they will unable to research anything for the time being."

Tristan was prepared for this. Then, he took out the needles and liquid bottles from his pocket.

Desmond nodded in reply when he saw this.

Tristan injected him quickly, and Desmond fall asleep again.

He knew that he had to leave quickly and tell Nathaniel about this news.

According to Desmond, if Jose didn't come, then he would have left the plane at that sanatorium.

That was why the sanatorium was the main headquarters of Jose and his mastermind.

At this thought, Tristan quickly left the underground institute. However, he did not return to the Acker family. Instead, he walked toward the palace.

A person was waiting for him there. However, he didn't wish Priscilla to be involved in what they were about to do.

After all, he trusted Priscilla, but he didn't want to put her in a difficult position.
