You're Still Too Young!
Chen Mo slowly finished his coffee, but Zachary Taylor's enhancement was not yet complete. He sat on the sofa with a pained expression, his whole body as if frozen in place. However, if you looked closely, you would find that every muscle in his body was trembling slightly, as if some kind of change was taking place.
Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry; the entire enhancement process would take a while. Just as the enhancement was halfway through, Victor and James came down from upstairs.
The two men who walked up to the sofa quickly noticed Zachary Taylor's unusual behavior. James couldn't help but look at Chen Mo and ask in confusion.
"Master, what's wrong with him?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo smiled knowingly, turned to look at Victor, who was frowning and staring at Zachary Taylor's pained expression, and said slowly with a smile.
"Victor, it seems you really are going to be our bank manager Taylor's bodyguard."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Victor's expression changed, and he quickly turned to look at Chen Mo. After realizing that Chen Mo was not joking, he panicked instantly. If the master said so, it meant that old man Taylor could really defeat him!
Having just been defeated by himself, and considering Zachary Taylor's current situation, Victor quickly guessed what had happened.
"Master, have you granted him even greater power?"
Victor hurriedly asked Chen Mo.
Chen Mo didn't speak, but he smiled and nodded.
Upon hearing this, Victor's pupils contracted. He remembered the agreement he had just made with Zachary Taylor. If he were really defeated by him, wouldn't he really have to become his bodyguard?!
Can't!
Victor's eyes darted around quickly before finally settling on Chen Mo.
Victor's anxious expression changed instantly. He grinned, revealing two long canine teeth, and shamelessly approached Chen Mo, whispering in a sycophantic manner.
"Master, you see our strength hasn't improved in a long time. Why don't you give us both a boost?"
As he spoke, Victor winked at James from an angle he thought Chen Mo wouldn't notice.
The brothers' tacit understanding had been honed through countless battles; they could understand each other's meaning with just a glance.
James caught Victor's gaze, and Victor's previous words also made his eyes light up. He immediately intended to speak up for him, but he just happened to meet Chen Mo's somewhat mocking gaze.
James instantly felt like he'd been caught doing something wrong by his parents; clearly, Chen Mo had taken full account of their eye contact just now.
Victor, who was grinning and trying to please Chen Mo, waited for a long time but James didn't say anything to help. He then quietly turned his head and tried to wink at James several times, thinking he was being discreet. But he found James with his head down, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
Victor didn't understand at first. The master was directly granting him power, which was such a good thing, so why wasn't James enthusiastic at all? Where did their usual teamwork go?
However, he soon felt two sharp, Blade -sharp gazes fall upon him, making the hairs on his body stand on end. This feeling...!
Victor had a bad feeling in his heart. He forced an awkward smile before slowly turning around to look at Chen Mo.
Meeting Chen Mo's gaze, which held a sharp edge beneath a seemingly smiling expression, Victor instantly lost his smile. He quickly dropped his sycophantic demeanor, stood up straight obediently, and, like James, lowered his head to look at the ground, no longer daring to meet Chen Mo's eyes.
"You two! You're always ganging up on Taylor, you deserve to be taught a lesson by him!"
Chen Mo pointed at the two of them, scolding them with a look of anger at their lack of self-control. Seeing that the two of them stood obediently with their heads down and no words, their faces full of guilt and their attitude of admitting their mistakes was very good, he let them go and then comforted them.
"Each person can only undergo this kind of enhancement once. What he is doing now is only a weakened version. The requirements for enhancement are low, but the increase in strength is also limited. You will also undergo this kind of enhancement in the future, but it will be an enhanced version with much stronger enhancement effects."
As Chen Mo finished speaking, Victor and James, who had been looking down as obedient students admitting their mistakes, suddenly looked up with surprise.
Seeing this, Chen Mo glared at the two of them with annoyance, and they quickly lowered their heads again.
"However, you are too young to undergo enhancement now. Let's talk about it when you grow up."
"Master, we're already quite grown up!"
When Victor heard Chen Mo say that the two of them were still young and would have to wait a few more years, he quickly looked up and anxiously tried to explain.
However, what he said was not wrong. More than five years had passed since the two of them left Canada with Chen Mo. They had grown a lot in the countless battles over the years, much faster than ordinary children.
Now, the two men are already quite tall and robust, not much different from those strong men in their twenties or thirties, and their aura is much more fierce and imposing.
However, looking at their faces, one can still detect a hint of naivety hidden beneath their composed demeanor.
The slightly older Victor has just come of age, while the younger James is not yet eighteen. Their bodies have not fully developed, and there is still a lot of room for growth in terms of height and physique, so it is not suitable for them to undergo Super Soldier Serum enhancement at this time.
Faced with Victor's explanation, Chen Mo glanced at him, and the other man instantly fell silent, losing the courage to continue arguing, and obediently lowered his head.
Victor decided to just listen to the master and do as he was told. The master's decisions were never wrong. If he said he was too young, he must be too young. It seemed he needed to eat more, sleep more, and exercise more to grow up quickly!
Having dealt with the two little guys who were no longer considered little guys, Chen Mo leaned back on the sofa and quietly waited for Zachary Taylor to finish his enhancement. Victor and James also looked up again, looking at Zachary Taylor with curiosity.
This old guy is so useless. Look at his face, it's almost all scrunched up like a bitter gourd. It's just pain, he can't even handle this little bit of pain, and he still wants to lecture me.
Victor is a typical example of someone who talks without understanding the pain; he'll only know how much it hurts when he gets to strengthen himself.
The three didn't have to wait long before Zachary Taylor's enhancement was completed. The pain on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a relieved ease.
Moreover, his originally wrinkled face has become much smoother and more even, making him look at least twenty years younger than before. In other words, Zachary Taylor now looks like he is only in his early forties.
