Anna had stayed in the Federal building since the end of the city defense battle. One of the main reasons she hadn’t returned to the Genetics College was that the terrifying power displayed by the God of War Peter during the battle had shocked Anna.

She wanted to surpass the God of War Peter and become the Genetic God of War that protected mankind. According to the cultivation plan of the Genetics College, it would take at least six months for her to reach the level of the Genetic God of War. Furthermore, this was only the threshold to become the Genetic God of War.

If she wanted to continue improving her strength and reach the level of the God of War Peter, the amount of time she would need was unknown. This was something that Anna could not accept.

Just as Anna was feeling despair, General David found her and gave Anna a sample of the gene-strengthening potion. After Anna used this sample, she was surprised to find that the stagnant power in her body was beginning to show signs of improvement.

Later, Anna looked for General David and learned from him that the Federation had once seized a batch of supplies which contained a very special gene-strengthening potion.

In order to convince Anna of his words, David deliberately showed her his power.

When Anna saw that General David’s physical fitness was no inferior to hers, her suspicions about him began to decrease.

Then, General David offered her a condition. He could allow Anna to advance from a Genetic General to a Genetic God of War in an extremely short period of time. In return, what Anna needed to do was serve David for a year. After a year, General David would no longer care if Anna left.

Anna simply chose to accept such tempting conditions. In her heart, she hoped that she would be able to stand proudly in front of Peter as a Genetic God of War.

Knock knock knock!

Anna knocked on the door of General David’s office. After a short wait, she heard David’s low voice from the other side of the door.

After calming down, Anna reached for the door handle and opened the door slightly. Through the gap in the door, she could see a corner of the office. It was silent inside.

A moment later, General David spoke.

“Anna, look. This is a special gene-strengthening potion.”

There was a simple wooden box engraved with complicated patterns on General David’s desk. If an expert in antiques were here, they would definitely recognize that the wooden box came from the far east.

General David saw Anna walking in front of him and raised his hand to indicate to her.

“Anna, I hope you can open it yourself. The gene-strengthening potion inside belongs to you.”

The next moment, Anna’s white jade fingers reached out and touched the top of the wooden box. The simple but thick texture of the solid wood soothed her excited emotions.

Following this excitement was a trace of caution that Anna had always kept.

“General David! Are you sure you want to give me this special gene potion in exchange for a year of my service?”

David nodded solemnly. In reality, he was praying in his heart. Why hadn’t this damned Anna opened the wooden box yet?

The insect that could burrow into a person’s body and control them had been put into the wooden box by David. He just had to wait for Anna to open the box herself. The insect was very fast and could enter Anna’s body before she could react.

Anna’s fingers, which were stroking the wooden box, began to move to the edge of the box. With very light movements, she opened the lid of the box.

Then, a black insect crawled out of the wooden box and onto Anna’s arm.
