Iron Shield Laboratory was one of the many laboratories affiliated with Zarain. The laboratory was in charge of countless highly confidential researches.
Byron had spent most of his time there to take care of his damaged body parts. On top of that, he thought it was a great idea to stay hidden in a well-secured compound.
He felt a sense of security since Bruce had dispatched a Rank Six combatant to guard him just to ensure his safety.
To be precise, the combatant was merely a step away from being a Rank Seven. Thus, no ordinary Rank Six was a match for him in terms of combat skills.
Although most of the members of the Ruling Union had a bodyguard of Rank Six, none of them were as capable as the one Bruce sent Byron.
Byron still had to rely on the aid of psychologists just to bring himself to sleep due to nightmares.
“Mr. Byron, Mr. Schmidt will be appointed the king of another nation today. Mr. Johnston wants you to join them at the coronation ceremony.”
Byron shook his head and insisted, “Just tell my brother I’ll sit this one out!”
He got up on the wrong side of the bed and wasn’t in the mood for anything.
When he was in the middle of having his meal, Jameson, one of the laboratory’s officials, approached him and announced, “We have just upgraded the defense system of the laboratory!”
“Are you serious?” Byron asked with his eyes gleaming in excitement.
“I have faith in our latest defense system! Not even a Rank Seven combatant can barge into the compound of the laboratory without my consent!”
As soon as Jameson finished his sentence with his chest held high, the laboratory started shaking vigorously.
The laboratory’s foundation had been destroyed. Subsequently, the self-defense system of the laboratory was triggered.
“Intruders alert! Intruders alert!”
“Someone has just intruded the laboratory!”
As all hell broke loose in the laboratory, Byron glared at Jameson in the eyes, indicating he had his doubts against Jameson’s so-called upgraded self-defense system.
Jameson’s frustration was written all over his face. He assured the startled Byron, “I’ll go deal with the intruder at once!”
Out of the blue, the person behind Byron announced in a calm and collected tone, “As long as I’m around, I won’t allow others to lay a finger on you.”
On the other end of the laboratory, the gate made out of alloy steel, that was supposed to be impregnable, was sent flying by a man’s powerful kick.
A man with a mask and a set of black clothes stood at the entrance with a black sword on his back.
It merely took those familiar with the members of The Calamity a few seconds to tell the intruder might be a member of The Calamity.
It turned out Levi had made up his mind to show up in the uniform of a member of The Calamity because he wanted to avenge his comrades and send the traitors to Erudia on their behalf.
Soon, the guards, including martial artists and those equipped with superweapons, had gathered around at the entrance and surrounded the intruder.
The officials of the laboratory were determined to take out the intruder with the latest self-defense system they had in place.
Jameson made his way to the scene shortly after his subordinates gathered around. He yelled at the intruder, “How dare you barge into the laboratory?”
His subordinates had gotten the defense systems of the laboratory ready to take out the intruder. An instruction from Jameson was all it would take to get rid of the intruder.
In an attempt to figure out the identity of the intruder, Jameson asked, “Who are you? Why the hell are you here today?”
“I’m an Erudian! I’m here to take Byron back to Erudia with me!”
