Chapter 800 Changed Temperament
?The testing this time was a tad slower, as most of the people doing the readings were constantly distracted by his glowing skin of two-meter-wide wings.
But just as Geminae had told him once, his body was not made for physical prowess. The results of anything physical were practically the same as with just his mana enhancement.
However, they differed in his body resistance and his regenerative capabilities.
It took the room's defence system firing at him just to inflict minor wounds. And they regenerated almost instantly.
Once he was done with Geminae's body, Alex signalled he wanted another test. This made the head scientist growl.
"This is the fourth physical test, Mr. Leduc. Haven't we gone over all your physical capabilities enough? What more is there to test?!" he screamed.
Alex stared at him, his eyes going ice cold.
"I'm not done, and I recall Mr. Boudreau saying you were to acquiesce to my demands on this. So how about you shut up and do that?"
The scientist threw his tablet at the bulletproof glass, shattering it, and started shouting.
"Fine! I'll administer this test myself. I hope you're ready!"
He punched in his credentials to open the testing chamber and stomped his way inside.
"You wanted to piss me off, then you've succeeded. Now I test you myself! Let's see how this newly enhanced body fares against awakened people!"
He activated a device on his wrist, which Alex had seen earlier but said nothing about.
And immediately, a change happened inside him.
The device functioned on a monster core, most likely one of the dire wolves they had slain a month ago, and infused his cells with it. His scrawny body suddenly developed muscle, and he grinned at Alex.
"How about now? Still want to be cocky?"
Alex looked at him deadpan and turned his head to the camera.
"Do you expect me to work with this trash? He gets annoyed at the stupidest of things. PhD? What good is that if you have the mental capacity of a slug?"
The scientist's eyes bulged as he dashed at Alexander.
"Can we get back to the tests now? I'm bored."
From his office, Jack was looking at his screen with sweat going down the side of his jaw.
'What has he become? Is it even safe to let him go? Can we even hold him back if he wants to leave?'
Many thoughts coursed through his mind until Alex's voice snapped him back to attention.
"Hello? Anybody home? I want to finish these tests. The sooner we are done, the sooner I can return home."
Jack didn't know how to respond, so he sent a message to the scientists to resume testing.
The head scientist was sent to the infirmary to receive treatment for his contorted wrist. For now, his employees would have to finish the tests alone.
But his mind stuck on whether he could let this thing out of here. It seemed like a bad idea.
The Alex he knew was nowhere to be seen at the moment.
Aside from looking like him, that demon was nothing like him.
Impatient, arrogant, and violent to an extreme degree. This was all he could see from it.
But as soon as Alex reverted to human form, he returned to normal.
'Which one is really him?' Jack wondered.
And he wasn't alone.
Mr. Gu had also been looking at the testing, wondering if he should call in reinforcements from his old order.
If this thing got out and went full demon, it would surely wipe out the city unless someone was there to stop it.
They were stuck in a dilemma that could affect millions of lives.
Jack turned to his assistant and broke the silence.
"Call them. It is better to have them close and not need them than to be responsible for genocide. I regret to say this, but I think our biggest threat may turn out to be Mr. Leduc, for now."
Mr. Gu gulped but did as told.
Things were looking bad.
