Fist (2)

Han Mingxuan found this rather strange during this period.

First, Lion El'Jonson disappeared for a month after reading the book, and then after Lion El'Jonson came out, Aequus disappeared for another month.

"Luther, do you know where they went?"

"I don't know either, sir."

Are you sure you don't know?

"Yes, it's the Lion's own secret, and I have no way of knowing it."

Oh well.

"Hey, by the way, what do you think of Lion El'Jonson?"

Luther was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected Han Mingxuan to discuss this issue with him.

"Excellent, calm, rational, powerful."

"Solitary, savage, irritable, arrogant."

The former is Luther's assessment, and the latter is Han Mingxuan's supplement.

Hearing his words, Luther remained silent for a long time.

"What you say is true, sir. When I found him, he had already been living in the forest for a long time."

"Before meeting Caliban's Knights, the Lion was the Beast."

"You dressed him in human skin, that's quite remarkable, Luther."

"But you gave him a human heart, sir; in comparison, you are far greater."

"Stop with the empty flattery, Grand Master. Actually, I trust Lion El'Jonson completely, which is why I have very little interaction with him."

This isn't a lie by Han Mingxuan; it's true.

"But Curze always calls him 'Big Brother,' and I believe that must have been at your behest."

Luther knew that the Lion was proud and lonely. As the eldest son of the Emperor, he would not be jealous, but the responsibility and mentality of being the eldest son would still linger in his heart.

When Luther first learned of these things, he didn't know what to do, until the Eighth Legion Primarch, Curze, appeared.

Even Luther had to admit that the Grand Inquisitor was a very perfect Primarch.

Moreover, the Eighth Legion Primarch showed Lion El'Jonson a level of respect and intimacy that was different from that shown to other Primarch.

He called Lion El'Jonson "Big Brother".

Luther had never seen anyone get so close to Lion El'Jonson, let alone put their arm around him.

But what about the relationship between the Grand Inquisitor and the other Primarch?

Very good.

But he didn't show the same respect he did for Lion El'Jonson.

"I have witnessed every word and action of the Grand Inquisitor, sir. I have reason to believe that this was the result of your instructions."

"After all, an elder brother is like a father; he's his Big Brother, and he should respect him."

"While this may seem natural to the world, it is exceptionally rare among the Primarch, especially between Horus and Lion El'Jonson."

Han Mingxuan was stunned for a moment when he heard Luther say that.

"You're not wrong, Horus is the First-Returned Son. Of course, our teasing about Horus today is a secret between us; don't let him know."

"That's natural, sir."

Luther was well aware of Horus's various arguments over the past 30 years, and he didn't want to hear them.

However, Horus was so enthusiastic about talking about those things that all the Legions had heard about them.

After a pause, Luther continued.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you for raising Mordred so well. Although he doesn't conform to traditional Chivalry, he is truly excellent, and he has made the Lion no longer lonely."

"No need to be so polite. After all, they are brothers by seniority, and it's normal for brothers to communicate."

"Leon!!"

"I work from 8 AM!!"

"Boom!"

The two were having a nice conversation when suddenly they heard Aequus's roar, which could be heard throughout the entire Unyielding Truth.

"It seems their exchange was quite lively," Han Mingxuan said with a smile.

"I think it's getting a bit too heated, sir. We need to go take a look."

"Okay, let's go then."

Let's rewind to 10 minutes ago.

The moment Lion El'Jonson's stem cells were implanted into his body, Aequus's body began to react violently.

More accurately, it was a severe immune response.

At the same time, a voice resounded deep within Aequus's consciousness.

[Gene Purity Seal activated. External biological genes and Psychic Power interference detected. Immune program initiated.]

[Gene Purification Immune Program, highest sequence.]

The Lion looked at Aequus, who was convulsing and even spitting blood, with worry in his eyes.

"What's going on?!"

"My lord, it's highly likely that some kind of mysterious technology within his body is working to provide immunity."

"Can you stop?"

The Apothecary shook their heads; clearly, they neither understood this unknown technology nor knew how to stop it.

Three minutes later, blood began to flow from Aequus's body. After they removed Aequus's armor, they discovered that Aequus skin was cracking inch by inch.

It's obvious this person is about to explode and die.

Just as Lion El'Jonson was pacing anxiously, preparing to rebuke the Apothecary for their stupidity...

Suddenly, a faint blue-gold light appeared on Aequus's body.

"Sir, it's nothing short of Miracle! His vital signs are starting to stabilize, and his immune system is returning to normal."

Lion El'Jonson breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news; he would have felt guilty for the rest of his life if Aequus had died there.

Moreover, he had no way to explain it to Curze.

Ten minutes later, everything stabilized, and Lion El'Jonson could sense that Aequus had woken up, but he was unwilling to open his eyes.

"Wake up, Mordred, it's all over."

Upon hearing the Lion's words, Aequus opened his eyes, and then, under the guilty gazes of Lion El'Jonson and the Apothecaries, he walked out of the incubation chamber.

"Mo... Mordred..."

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Aequus's eyes were calm and cruel. He had embedded all three Apothecary responsible for his Gene Modifications into the wall.

Are you calm now?

"I said I would parade them through the streets in Octagon."

Lion El'Jonson didn't speak, but Aequus knew he had tacitly agreed. However, for the Gang, this wasn't the end of the matter.

"I can make it up to you; you can ask for anything."

Aequus's eyes regained their composure, and he nodded, acknowledging the Lion's terms.

"Also, this is a secret between us; don't let Curze know."

"Okay, but I demand compensation right now."

What do you want?

Aequus did not answer immediately; he simply walked up to the Lion, who was now very close, only half a meter away.

You should keep your distance from me. I said I would agree to your conditions.

You can fulfill my conditions immediately.

What are the conditions?

Hehehe.

Suddenly, Lion El'Jonson felt a chill run down his spine.

The instant this feeling arose in his heart, he saw Aequus's eyes change.

His once calm gaze turned furious; one could say that if his eyes were a calm lake at the beginning, they were now an erupting volcano.

"Leon!!"

"I work from 8 AM!"

Boom!

Aequus punched the Lion hard in the face.
