The chamber became deathly silent.
Not a single sound echoed through the underground facility.
Not the alarms.
Not the distant gunfire.
Not even the hum of the servers.
Nothing.
Because everyone was staring at Minho.
And at the words he had just spoken.
"I created the cure."
Aarya's heart pounded.
Jungkook's eyes narrowed.
Elena looked completely stunned.
But nobody looked more shocked than Victor Black.
For the first time since arriving—
the creator of Genesis looked terrified.
Actually terrified.
"No."
The word escaped Victor's lips immediately.
Almost desperately.
And that alone told everyone something important.
Minho was telling the truth.
Because Victor wasn't denying it logically.
He was reacting emotionally.
Like a man confronted by his greatest nightmare.
