Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1600

The room stared at Serena in absolute shock.

They couldn't process what they were hearing. Did The Panacea just tell a rampaging bio-weapon to... submit?

As if giving it a verbal command would actually force it to stand down?

It was completely delusional!

Had the sheer terror of the beast's rampage finally cracked her mind?

Director Kaelen opened his mouth to scream at her.

Then, a thunderous crash shook the floor.

Specimen Seven, mere inches from obliterating the glass, froze completely in mid-air.

Raw defiance, furious struggle, and primal violence violently warred within its blood-red eyes.

A guttural, agonizing roar tore from its throat.

It sounded like pure rebellion, as if fighting an invisible chain.

But ultimately, the monstrous mass of muscle folded under the overwhelming digital pressure. Right in front of a room full of stunned spectators, it was forced down.

Its knees slammed violently into the floorboards.

The sheer impact carved two deep craters into the reinforced steel plating.

Specimen Seven had collapsed to the floor.

A deathly silence swallowed The Observation Theater.

Kaelen sat frozen on the floor, his brain completely offline.

The engineering crew stared in wide-eyed horror.

One of them rubbed his eyes, thoroughly convinced the adrenaline was causing severe hallucinations.

Specimen Seven...

The volatile asset that the organization could only contain using heavy neural dampeners, chemical sedatives, and industrial chains.

Had actually yielded?

Brought down by a single word from The Panacea?

It took an eternity for Kaelen to find his voice. "You..."

His throat felt like sandpaper. "How... how did you do that?"

He never should have given her terminal access.

Serena read his panic effortlessly.

She scoffed, a frosty sneer playing on her lips. "Wipe that pathetic look off your face. I have zero interest in training your junkyard dogs."

Kaelen choked on his anxiety, visibly humiliated but far too terrified to argue.

Looking down to manipulate the telemetry on her screen, Serena spoke with detached professionalism. "Since my Patron was so generous with his wallet, it's only right that I guarantee his absolute safety."

"When I severed its targeting loop and flooded it with stabilizers, I bypassed the core and installed a Transient Command Override. Its sole purpose was to neutralize any residual threat to Mr. Blackwood in case of a secondary surge."

"Just in case it tried to take another bite out of... my big spender."

She punctuated the explanation with a slow, sultry wink thrown in Nicholas's direction.

Kaelen blinked. "A... Transient Command Override?"

Serena's expression iced over as she clarified. "It only functions during the narrow reboot window before the neural chip fully resets its targeting matrix."

"It's a temporary chokehold. It won't last long."

She paused, tilting her head to stare down the Director, an icy warning lacing her smile. "I don't work for free, and I certainly don't fix your operational failures out of the goodness of my heart."
