"All right, take me to see your results."
"I'm sure you didn't call me all the way over here just so I could listen to you flatter me."
As he spoke, Killian strode straight inside.
Then, led by Maya, the two of them entered the laboratory.
As expected, a familiar man was already inside, carrying out the relevant testing and training under the guidance of the researchers.
"Mr. Killian! I'm deeply grateful that you were willing to give me a second chance!"
"Whatever you need me to do next, I'll do it!"
The moment he saw Killian walk in, the man's eyes lit up. He hurried over to the glass door in front of Killian and spoke with an excited expression.
Before this, he had never imagined he would ever be able to return to a normal life.
Although more than a week had passed during this period, and several volunteers from his batch had died, he understood that if you wanted something, you had to be willing to pay the price.
Rather than living in this world like a useless cripple and being bullied by everyone, he would rather gamble once, for himself and for his younger siblings, and win them a better future.
Fortunately, his luck had been good.
"I remember you. Savin, right?"
"Very good. Keep it up. Cooperate with the researchers here and help them study the serum's abilities more quickly. That way, in the future, we can help more and more people like the old you, people suffering like you once did, stand on their feet again in this world."
"Get proper rest. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Looking at Savin through the glass door, Killian smiled warmly and spoke in a gentle voice.
At that moment, he seemed like a benevolent godfather. At least, in Savin's eyes right now, Killian was no different from some saintly preacher who existed to save the world.
"Mm!"
Hearing Killian's words, Savin nodded heavily.
"By the way, what about his younger siblings? They've all been settled in properly, right?"
Looking at the man before him, Killian turned to Maya at his side and asked.
"Don't worry, Boss. Following your instructions, after arranging for the best hospital to give them full examinations, we've already set up a place for them to live, and their school enrollment procedures have all been completed."
"If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to start school normally next week."
After hearing Killian's question, Maya smiled slightly and gave her report.
After all, Savin had been one of the first people to come to the company looking for her. At the time, because Killian was away, she had taken care of their arrangements herself after reporting the matter.
So when it came to the arrangements for Savin's younger siblings, Maya knew the entire situation thoroughly.
"Very good. Make sure everything is handled properly. Don't let our own people feel abandoned."
At that, Killian nodded in satisfaction and gave a serious reminder.
Watching this scene from inside the glass room, Savin could not help feeling deeply moved. A fierce urge to devote his life to the one who had truly understood him lingered in his heart and would not fade.
"All right, Savin. Let us see what you can do now. Boss came here specifically to see you today."
Seeing that the conversation was about over, Maya stepped forward and spoke to Savin.
Coming back to himself, Savin immediately nodded hard, then returned to the testing room and began one stage of the tests after another under the researchers' guidance.
"Savin, let the boss see what you're really capable of."
Watching him casually unleash several tons of punching force and display intelligence test results that had improved tremendously compared to before, Maya could no longer hold back and finally spoke up.
Hearing Maya's words, Savin nodded, then walked over to a completely solid steel pillar nearby and focused himself.
The next moment, when Savin opened his eyes again, a terrifying orange-yellow glow began radiating from inside his body.
In the blink of an eye, both of his hands transformed into physical forms like molten magma. The moment he placed them on the pillar, the completely solid steel column began melting into liquid metal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The molten iron flowed downward continuously, even spreading over Savin's feet. The moment the two came into contact, a sizzling sound rang out, like meat being roasted in a pan full of dripping oil.
But to Savin now, that was still just pain he could endure.
Gritting his teeth and ignoring the condition of his feet, he raised the temperature in his hands even further and began using all his strength to melt the rest of the steel pillar into liquid metal.
Meanwhile, in the observation room outside, the monitoring equipment that was tracking Savin's internal condition in real time suddenly began emitting sharp warning beeps.
"Savin, that's enough. Stop now!"
"You need to cool down immediately."
Seeing that Savin's internal temperature had already approached its critical threshold, Maya's expression changed instantly. She hurried to the microphone and called out to him inside.
But Savin could no longer take in Maya's words. Gritting his teeth, he continued maintaining his current level of heat output.
For him, the man who had saved his life had finally come to see him. He wanted to perform well, to prove that the investment Killian had made in him had not been a mistake. How could he possibly give up at the crucial moment?
"Activate the freezing protocol."
Seeing that Savin was no longer listening, Maya immediately turned anxiously to the researcher beside her and gave the order.
Leaving aside the fact that the experimental equipment inside was all worth a fortune, the boss himself was standing right here. If he witnessed a failed experiment, Maya felt she would not even be able to lift her head afterward.
"No. Wait. Let's keep watching."
At that moment, Killian stopped them.
Then he quietly continued looking inside. Maya, who had been about to say something, swallowed the words after moving her throat slightly and turned to look inside as well.
At that moment, the orange-red light around Savin's body had become even more dazzling than before.
And from the way he kept gritting his teeth, and the savage look in his eyes, it was obvious that he was enduring enormous pain inside his body.
And just as they had guessed, after sustaining such high-intensity output for an extended period, the Extremis virus inside Savin had now concluded that his body had already adapted to the initial strengthening.
And now... as far as the virus was concerned, since the host had already accepted its presence, then it would lead the host into a whole new stage.
