?Chapter 825:


    Brian shook his head in resignation before replying calmly, “I care about them deeply. In fact, they’re everything to me. But I can’t harm innocent lives just to protect my family, and I won’t contribute to harming humanity. You’re creating deadly viruses, spreading them, and then profiting from the cures. All the money you guys have is tainted with blood. I refuse to stoop to your level, even if it costs me everything! My wife has a kind heart, and my father is a fair man. They’ll definitely understand why I made this choice today.”


    He closed his eyes in sorrow and softly whispered, “Goodbye.”


    As his final words faded, Brian slowly leaned back. Despite the frantic shouts from the crowd, he plunged off the cliff.


    As Brian fell off the cliff, Marissa’s heart dropped. She couldn’t help but scream, “Dad!”


    The video footage began to shake violently as those pursuing Brian ran towards the edge, causing the camera to jolt. Marissa’s heart raced with anxiety as the image trembled. When the people reached the cliff’s edge and pointed the camera downward, a more heartbreaking scene unfolded. Below was a deep river teeming with ferocious crocodiles. At that moment, Brian was being savagely attacked by over a dozen crocodiles. The bright red of his blood stained the river.


    Brian’s agonizing screams reached Marissa through theptop. Marissa felt as if her heart was shattering. She shook with pain.

    This horrific scene continued for about a minute. Then, Brian’s cries ceased. Amidst the massive ripples, all the crocodiles submerged, and Brian disappeared. The voices of the people came through theptop.


    “Oh, my God! The genius scientist died in the jaws of crocodiles and became their meal. What a tragic fate.”


    “There’s no need to check. So many crocodiles attacking him simultaneously must have ripped him apart and devoured him. We couldn’t find a bone.”


    “Now what do we do? Brian was devoured by crocodiles, and the chip has vanished. How will we exin this to the boss? The boss will definitely be furious. We’re in for his wrath.”


    “Let’s head back and report this to the boss.”


    The video ended, with thest image fixed on the blood-stained river.


    Staring at herptop, Marissa saw the river stained red with her father’s blood. Tears streamed down her face, blurring her vision as they sshed onto herptop.


    She couldn’t fathom the pain Brian must have endured during the attack. She wished she could traverse time and space to rescue her father from that torment and bring him safely home.


    Beforeing to Rose Cliff in Cher Snain, Marissa had nned to bring her father home if he were alive, to let him enjoy life. If he had passed, she intended to take his ashes back to their hometown for burial.


    But now, she was left with nothing to bring back. Except for the chip, whose passwords she hadn’t fully cracked, Brian had left her nothing else.


    What a tragic realization. What intense sorrow.


    Silver Fox, too, shed tears that scattered in the wind. She tugged at Marissa’s sleeve and urged, “ck Snake, I know your pain. But you must gather your strength. This isn’t the time to wallow in despair. We need to track down those viins and avenge your father.”


    Marissa nodded, wiping her tears. “You’re right. I can’t fall apart. I must cure my mother’s illness, bring Tiffany home, and advance the Nash family legacy. That was my father’s wish.”
