Chapter 120

Raiden’s expression darkened as he processed Hiro’s words. He paced around the room before stopping to look directly at Hiro. "But he never told me he wanted the project." He said in disbelief. He still couldn't wrap his head around Shoji being the reason they fought. "Besides, Project Aegis doesn’t belong to me. It’s your family’s work. I’ve only been safeguarding it until the time comes to hand it over to you. Contrary to what the world thinks, I haven’t even touched the research."

He held Hiro's hands and pulled him closer. "The truth is, Project Aegis has already been completed by your parents. There's nothing left for me to do even if I wanted to."

Hiro’s eyes widened in surprise. "What?..."

Raiden nodded. "Yes. The project was about Huntington’s disease, and your parents discovered the cure. According to the files I've seen, they were planning to announce it on your birthday and put everything they get through the project under your name."
