Chapter 1393: Chapter 1393 Innocent Release_1

"Chapter 1393

Chloe Collins was released without any charges, a week after she was taken into custody.

During this interval, Alexander Foster and Charles Carrington had been striving to clear her name from the tumult, running about everywhere. After going through all the necessary procedures, she was quickly released without charges.

Chloe’s laboratory did not conduct any illicit research, nor was it involved in the nationally prohibited BDR experiments. These two points were quickly disseminated in the news, swiftly restoring Chloe’s reputation.

The slander she had undergone for a week was refuted overnight. Many breathed a sigh of relief for Chloe, and roundly accused the whistleblowers of ulterior motives.

Soon, everyone’s focus returned to the cause of the unrest. The official explanation was equivocal, stating it was a case of mistaken identity. There were also rumors of an Internet celebrity’s drama crew resorting to deception for hype, but the situation got out of control, and they had to lay low.

Opinions varied widely.

At this very moment, in Southvale’s Riverside Villa District.

Evelyn Thompson had specially arranged a Fire Bowl ceremony to ward off bad luck in anticipation of Chloe’s return.

As soon as the car arrived at the doorway, they strode forward to welcome her.

Chloe had spent the past week reasonably well in custody. No one mistreated her; she was only occasionally taken out for interrogation. She seemed to be in good spirits and appeared well, showing no signs of exhaustion at all.

Upon seeing her like this, Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief: "It’s all right now. Quickly step over this Fire Bowl. From now on, everything will go smoothly for you, and no disaster will come our way."

Chloe looked at Alexander, gave a rueful smile, and complied with Evelyn’s wishes, stepping over the Fire Bowl.

After dinner, in the bedroom.

Alexander presented a set of documents for Chloe to review, saying, "These are the representatives of the Alliance. The twelve on top are from the Council of Elders."

Chloe scanned through and asked, "Why do some of the photos have red circles?"

"The ones circled in red are from relatively weaker families in terms of overall strength. These individuals don’t hold much sway within the Alliance, but they are the real drivers behind the New Human Project. They aim to enhance their family’s strength and rapidly elevate their status through this project."

He walked over, leaned over her, and pointed at the man in the largest photo and said, "Conversely, Gabriel Hill, the chief elder, might be kept in the dark the most. The Hill family, now in the leading position, has become the target of these individuals."

Seeing Gabriel Hill, Chloe recalled a piece of news, an old news piece about Corynthia electing a new president, a man not yet thirty called Grayson Hill, who was Gabriel Hill’s son.

Indeed, they really were strong.

She raised an eyebrow, "what will he do if he knows about these things?"

"Nothing." Alexander sat down, hugged her, and slowly replied, "The headquarters for the New Human Project is located in Morisia, all of their protocols strictly adhere to local laws which are all exceptionally complete. Without irrefutable evidence of their harmful actions, there is absolutely no way to do anything about them. Even if the chief knew about this, he couldn’t stop it because any significant issue needed approval by a vote in the Council of Elders, and currently, more than half the council members are involved in this project."

"And besides," he paused, his eyes somewhat helpless: "They have formed a formidable mutual protection system, even if someone reports them, the chances of winning are not great."

Chloe mulled over the principle of officials protecting each other. That probably explained it.

Previously, only the Geraon upper leadership was opposed to this research. The experimental personnel were too weak to resist, so they had to relinquish it. Now, business tycoons from all countries have formed a joint body that supports this research. To some extent, Geraon is no longer able to stop it.
