Mizar rose to his feet, drawing the room''s attention.
“Everyone here knows me from Pris Star Lab. I''ve been attending these meetings in ce of our boss, Miss Noe Schnabel. Yes, she’s the head
of ourb!"
The room went silent, stunned.
Those who had been using Noe moments before now stared at her, wide-eyed.
They had just demanded an apology from Noe to Loadstar... and now they were learning that Noe was Loadstar?
"This... Don''t get me wrong, Loadstar has always been my hero! I didn''t mean anything by it. Miss Hero, could I maybe get your autographter...?"
Mizar waved them off. "Our boss doesn''t do autographs, but given today''s special circumstances, catch me after the meeting!"
"Wow, yes, yes! Haha, this is going to be legendary!"
For those who idolized Loadstar, getting an autograph was more thrilling than winning an award for their research
It was a moment that would be talked about for decades!
The jaws of the Schnabel family members practically hit the floor.
Beckett Schnabel was the first to regain hisposure, though his eyes were wide with shack.
"Noe, you''re saying... you''re Pris Star''s Loadstar?"
Noe nodded. "Yes, Beckett.”
Garrick was visibly shaken by Noe''s admission.
“You''re insane! Your sess is all because of Pris Star! Noe, you''re biting the hand that feeds you!"
Garrick''s outburst only served to confirm Neoe''s identity further.
The founding and current leaders of Pris Star locked eyes, each refusing to back down.
Noe replied calmly, “You''re wrong. Without Pris Star, I would have been better off.”
"If it weren''t for the Pris Star Project, my sister and I could have grown up in our own families, and my friends wouldn''t have been left orphaned!"
Garrick was livid, his face turning a shade of red.
“If it weren''t for me, none of them would have their ''today''!"
Mizar scoffed, "Thanks to you, my entire family was wiped out, leaving me the sole survivor. What good is being a genius then?”
The other members of Pris Star looked at Garrick with cold indifference:
"What''s the use of having a family? That''s the most useless burden! Only by severing all ties can one fully utilize their brain and stand at the pinnacle
of humanity! Why would anyone choose to be ordinary when they could contribute so much more to society and the nation?”
Garrick was lost in his delusion
When Noe''s gaze met with her family''s, she saw their worry andpassion.
The Schnabel brothers had guessed what atrocities the children involved in the Pris Star experiment had faced, and what their sister had endured
Revealing this was like pouring salt an Noe''s wounds.
They had originally thought that Noe''s worst days were behind her, suffering at the hands of Vincent Lambert and his shameless wife. But her
actual suffering was beyond their worst imaginations.
Noe offered a reassuring smile to her family.
Turning to the audience, her voice was firm and clear.
"Isn''t everyone here just an ordinary person?"
"I used to think that emotions were unnecessary, that they only slowed down my reaction time. But Garrick, without those emotions, whe would ever
choose to fight?”
At least Noe''s battles were fought to protect her loved ones.
"Garrick, your project might have found many geniuses, but what you''ve lost is humanity. Or perhaps, it''s your insatiable greed that led to this
experiment!"
"I, as Loadstar, on behalf of everyone
involved with Pris Star, including
those deemed ‘failures, formally”
denauince Garrick’s Pris Star
Project. It deserves condenination."
Noe pped her hands, and the screen switched to show a group of cheerful people at amunity gathering, smiling goofily at the camera.
Their stories were disyed on the screen.
Most of the "failures" had ended up brain-dead, buried under a simple gravestone.
A few, after undergoing brainwashing, were left with the minds of children.
Tears were silently shed by some in the audience.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
These were people who should have been living ordinary lives, some even born into wealth, meant to be cherished by their parents...
Yet because of this experiment, they were left in this state.
On the screen, one of the few coherently aware individuals gave the camera the middle finger.
"Garrick, may you rot in hell! There''s a special ce down there with all the children you''ve destroyed waiting for you. They won''t rest until you join
them."
Their hatred for Garrick was palpable.
Noe''s voice grew louder.
"Most of their families have passed away, all because Garrick wanted geniuses unburdened by ties. Even after Garrick left Pris Star Lab, the
experiments continued."
"Now, with Garrick seeking to restart this project, I hope everyone here will join me in opposing him.”
There was no need for further persuasion: the horrors revealed by Pris Star were enough to shock anyone
Palmer was the first to stand. gripping Noe’s hand with a firm resolve
"The Pock Group will always support Noe. Garrick''s actions are inhumane."
The Schnabel brothers, along with ra, stood together.
Beckett took a deep breath
"If it weren''t for Garrick''s scheme, my sister would never have left home. As a victim''s family, the Schnabels will hold Garrick''s research ountable!"
Loadstar''s fans echoed the sentiment, rallying behind the statement.
Garrick''s hands trembled uncontrobly, experiencing for the first time what it felt like when everyone turned against him.
He couldn''t understand, where did his n go wrong?
It was supposed to be a wless n!
For a world ruled by geniuses, he had sacrificed his entire life. Where did it go wrong?
At the entrance of the hall, Helen, dressed in a vintage floor-length evening gown, gracefully made her entrance.
“Your biggest mistake over the years," she said, "is that you''ve always seen yourself as superior, while failing to see others as human beings.”
“Helen Barth! Are you also looking to burn bridges? Don''t forget, your Pock family rose to prominence because of me!”
Helen scoffed, "On your
grandmother''s spinning wheel! If: >
Sexton feeded you to seed then
must''ve been blind, marryingyhim
instéad of falling for a piece of
smoked brisket."
“
Helen spoke with poise andposure.
"I''m here today to have a little chat over tea, with some evidence in hand.”
"Years ago; my daughter-inw,
Lavinia Richardson, stumbled upon
the core secret of the Pris Star
Project due to an experimentat error.
You-forcefully brainwashed Ker,
nearly costing her life!” Content

"My other daughter-inw, Kendra Fowler, was killed under your orders, Garrick. You know, there''s such a thing as an eye for an eye."
These incidents had happened so many years ago.
Garrick had almost forgotten them himself!
He never expected Helen to dare bring these things up in public!
With these revtions, Garrick knew his life''s work was essentially ruined
