Badass in Disguise (Shadow) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306

Author’s POV:

“I must say, my luck is quite extraordinary, Queen of Clubs laughed. “When I need something, it simply appears – even rare human genetic material.”

At the mention of “human genetic material,” the woman standing behind the Queen of Clubs – Selene glanced subtly at Jade, her expression carefully neutral.

“Shadow was my most brilliant, most perfect creation,” Queen of Clubs continued. “Such a waste of potential. Such a shame she had to

die.”

Jade met her gaze with sardonic eyes, watching Queen of Clubs feign grief with crocodile tears.

“Don’t worry,” the woman said, her lips curving into a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Your genes will help us create a new generation of operatives. Isn’t that poetic? Using your DNA to create assassins who will forever serve the organization you despise most.”

A team of researchers approached Jade’s cell, carrying syringes and collection vials. The glass wall slid open just enough to allow their instruments through. One of them extracted blood samples from her arm while another prepared a yellow serum in a large syringe.

The needle pierced Jade’s skin, and immediately she felt warmth spreading through her veins, followed by a wave of weakness. Her limbs became useless, unable to resist as they connected various monitoring devices to her body.

“Three months,” Queen of Clubs instructed the head researcher. “I want her complete genetic sequence extracted within three months. And I expect preliminary data in 48 hours.”

With a satisfied look at Jade, she turned and walked away. Selene glanced at the glass chamber one last time, then at the laboratory she’d apparently never seen before, before following her superior.

Back on the ground floor, a subordinate approached them. “Ma’am, radar and signals have been restored. The vehicle outside has departed as well.”

Queen of Clubs nodded before heading upstairs.

Selene followed behind her. “Ma’am, are you planning to clone her?” she asked suddenly.

‘Are you interested?” Queen of Clubs replied without turning around.

‘I’ve only heard about this technology but never witnessed it. Is she the first test subject?”

Queen of Clubs turned, eyes narrowed with suspicion. “What exactly do you want to know?”

“Nothing specific,” Selene said carefully. “I was just wondering – Shadow’s genes were so powerful. Did you ever extract them? Perhaps Ace of Spades, King of Hearts, and Umbra might still be alive if you had.”

“Shadow was my most cherished, my proudest kid,” Queen of Clubs said. “How could I bear to use her that way?”

She suddenly turned, studying Selene intently. “If I had known things would turn out like this, perhaps I should have been more ruthless back then. Now Ace, King, and Eclipse are all dead. Our organization has suffered heavy losses and begun its decline.”

“The organization won’t decline,” Selene assured her. “Aren’t you planning to clone her to strengthen Shadow? Soon, the organization will regain its former power.”

“That’s far from enough,” Queen of Clubs said thoughtfully. “So, Selene, are you willing to contribute to Shadow’s cause?”

Selene’s mind flashed to Jade’s warning in the car: “The organization is experiencing severe personnel losses. Soon there will be another ‘failed mission‘ report – including you.”

“My life belongs to Shadow,” Selene declared. “I’m willing to follow any command from Shadow, including giving my life.”

Queen of Clubs nodded with satisfaction, patting Selene’s shoulder approvingly.
