Morris advanced a step and clarified, “The founder’s tale has long turned into legend. No one knows precisely how much holds truth, yet accounts claim that humans acquired superpowers in that age, with numerous individuals wielding them for nefarious purposes. To shield everyday people, Commander Xavier created the special department.”
He glanced at Brenda and continued, “Commander Xavier’s true name was Hugh Xavier. Rumor has it his spouse also served in the special department during those days. On one occasion when Commander Xavier was sidelined, she guided the special department to a string of triumphs. In the end, the pair withdrew from the spotlight and chose a life of seclusion.
“Beyond being spouses, they were battle companions. Commander Xavier’s wife was a quiet soul, and unlike typical couples, they seldom exchanged affectionate words. Yet standing side by side, they radiated the aura of two supreme powerhouses uniting forces, perfectly attuned to each other’s thoughts. When the world hunted Commander Xavier’s wife, he stood ready to oppose everyone for her.
“Having devoted themselves to nation and citizens while supporting one another fully, they evolved into the special department’s enduring legends.”
Morris pressed on, adding, “That epoch’s sheer brilliance birthed countless legends, sparking fascination with power that fueled genetic studies. This birthed our V1 through V16 gene serums. Fundamentally, these serums represent mankind’s bid to shatter limits. They yearn to rival those ancient superhumans, unaware that every one of those powered beings craved only ordinary lives again.”
Having shared so much, Morris sensed he’d spoken excessively. He appended, “Commander Xavier once declared that immense power demands immense duty. Should a comrade fall in service, you must shoulder their burden too and live rightly, rather than drowning in sorrow.
“His wife, Simone Xavier, once mourned a red-haired friend’s passing. In her honor, she colored her hair red and embraced a vibrant existence on her behalf. None among them ever voiced regrets or complaints.”
While absorbing Morris’s words, Nora felt a sudden yearning for that bygone era.
Brenda clenched her fists tightly. A bitter smile crossed her face as she murmured, “I guess I was nitpicking over nothing, wasn’t I?”
After some more conversation, Nora’s phone buzzed. She moved away to take the call. Lisa’s voice came through: “I’ve reached the villa, Nora. Marcus’ mother’s mental condition arises from emotional trauma, not bodily issues, leaving it beyond our fix. Deep down, she isn’t ill—she’s merely acting this way to dull her agony. Her claim that Brenda is her daughter-in-law... I suspect it’s rooted in envy.”
Envy that Brenda thrived while her son lay dead.
Truth be told, such feelings were entirely relatable.
Just days prior, Nora had read about an 18-year-old lad who rescued a drowning 16-year-old girl, sacrificing his life while she survived.
The boy’s parents couldn’t forgive the girl and refused to see her.
Clearly, Marcus’ mom yearned for Brenda to share her torment, easing her own pain.
Nora let out a quiet sigh.
Meanwhile.
As Nora slipped aside for her call, Brenda approached Morris and positioned herself beside him. She traced his gaze to Nora’s retreating figure nearby.
Suddenly, Brenda inquired, “Captain Ford, have you remained unmarried all this time because of Nora?”
Morris was caught off guard by her remark.
Brenda continued, “Do you crave a partner like Commander Xavier’s? A true soulmate who forges an unbeatable duo with you, reading your every thought?”
Morris stayed quiet.
He’d kept his emotions hidden from all.
Yet Brenda had seen through him.
