Chapter 497: Mysterious Instructions

Though it was somewhat cruel, Dr. Scott had already become a man obsessed with science.

In order to realize his wild ideas, he had started paying attention to Eric several years ago.

However, after little Elias was born, both he and little Dorian, at the age of three, took an intelligence test, which showed results clearly higher than that of other genius children.

Both little Elias and little Dorian had exceptional memories, almost photographic, and Taylor, the teacher at their school, was his informant.

Taylor’s job was only to pass on reports and observations to Dr. Scott. Her actions were not technically illegal, but if Eric were to find out, he would definitely not spare her.

"Uncle, are you going to feed the pigeons today?" Elias asked.

"No, today I’ll stay with you and play some games to see how quick your reflexes are!" Dr. Scott said with a light laugh, causing the women nearby to instinctively draw in a sharp breath.

This Dr. Scott was a distant cousin of Mason, specializing in brain cell research. Recently, his focus had been on the relationship between brain cells and intelligence. However, because of Mrs. Nelson’s extreme cruelty, the government had not approved this research project. Naturally, Dr. Scott was extremely reluctant, so he secretly bought an island and, along with three assistants, began conducting such experiments and research there!

On the surface, he appeared kind and loving, but in reality, he was ruthless and bloodstained. Many impoverished small countries had seen their young geniuses go missing over the past few years, and they had all been brought here for his experiments.

Most of the subjects either died from complications after surgery or were secretly "taken care of" by Dr. Scott’s people.

Such utter depravity, and yet Mason was at ease leaving little Elias in his care because Mason understood that Dr. Scott needed to observe the behavioral patterns of the experimental subjects as well.

Generally speaking, after a month, the subjects would be turned into experimental bodies, lying on the operating table.

If Eric still couldn’t find this place after a month, it would only prove how useless he was.

Little Elias took a few bites of the bread, frowning slightly. "It doesn’t taste good at all."

He was used to the porridge that the family chef carefully made for him, but since Dr. Scott needed to stay undercover, he hadn’t brought the chef

Carly’s expression darkened slightly upon hearing this.

"Heh, it seems that habits are the hardest to break. After all, you’re used to the breakfast your family chef makes, right?" Dr. Scott said kindly, smiling.

Little Elias nodded. "The porridge my family chef makes is way better than this!"

Mmm, when I get home, I’ll definitely have to thank that chef uncle.

Watching little Elias, so innocent and lively, Carly couldn’t help but laugh softly. "Dr. Scott, this child is truly unique. Unlike other kids, he doesn’t fuss about wanting to go home. Looks like playing the kidnap game with them really does work."

Dr. Scott nodded. "Eric’s plan to bring in world-class instructors to create the highest-level Little Prince Academy in Country S is not without reason. It seems human brain cells may not be as important as we think; the key may lie in nurturing innate talent."

The three assistants exchanged a glance, all of them faintly smiling.

"Doctor, if that’s your thinking, does it mean this child won’t be used as your experiment subject anymore? Are you going to send him back?" Carly asked softly.

Dr. Scott shook his head and replied in Country S language, "Not at all. This child has to stay here. Even if he’s not an experiment subject, he still needs to undergo various kinds of training. I’m confident that I can cultivate the most powerful genius in the world!"

At that moment, little Elias blinked. He understood the Country S language.

But didn’t Mommy say this was a game?

Do games really have so many lines? Anyway, Mommy said she would find a chance to escape, but this is an island. He observed yesterday, and it seems there are no boats here!

"Uncle, when are you going to send me home? Are there really a lot of places to play here?" Little Elias puffed out his cheeks, his bright eyes making him irresistibly cute.

Dr. Scott smiled slightly. "After breakfast, Uncle will take you to play. I’m sure you’ll be very satisfied!" Upon hearing this, little Elias cheered up, and his appetite grew.

Mommy said I should eat more to have the strength to escape.

Even if I can’t run away, I can wait for Daddy and Mommy to come save me.

After breakfast, Carly personally cleaned up the table. Seeing that little Elias had finished his entire portion, she couldn’t help but smile. "Didn’t you say it didn’t taste good? Kids sure are contradictory, haha!"

Her mood lightened a little. Though she had seen with her own eyes how the so-called geniuses were secretly dealt with by the remaining two male assistants, little Elias was truly different.

He didn’t cry or make a fuss, and he was even quite funny, bringing laughter into the lifeless villa.

If the doctor really intended to operate on him... well, that would be such a shame! Miss Carly thought to herself, a glint of amusement shining in her bluish eyes.

At this moment, little Elias was taken to another large house on the island.

It was a bit dusty, showing signs that no one had been there for quite a while.

Little Elias was brought to the entrance of a maze, and Dr. Scott smiled, saying, "This maze has an entrance and a backdoor. Let’s see if you can find your way out."

Little Elias blinked. "What’s the reward if I get out?"

"There is one. I’ll satisfy your craving for food once."

Little Elias pouted. "I’m not like little Dorian. I’m not interested in food."

Dr. Scott’s smile grew even brighter. "I have many toys that I’ve made myself, toys you can’t find anywhere else."

Little Elias perked up. Toys that can’t be bought outside? That sounds pretty good! Without hesitation, he rushed into the maze.

Dr. Scott leisurely sat in the small house across the way, where there were surveillance cameras, allowing him to clearly observe little Elias inside.

That little brat was the youngest child Dr. Scott had brought here. Did he do anything that would catch Dr. Scott’s eye?

Dr. Scott had gone mad—he was so obsessed with his research that he had lost his sanity. He was willing to commit any cruelty, as long as it meant he could continue his experiments.

...

After breakfast, Ella sat alone in the backyard. She quietly held her phone, her heart storming with emotions.

That person had already given her the method.

As long as she followed his instructions and left Country S, she could finally see Elias again.

But could this be another trap?

Ella hesitated for a moment, swiped open the screen, and opened the email. "Can you let me see my son? I need to confirm if he’s really in your hands."

The email was sent.

Then footsteps approached from behind, and Ella quickly closed the email app, her face returning to its calm, composed expression.

Eric walked over and gently took her hand.
