When Jue Zhang finished, Dr. Li seemed to recall the tragic moment that day and couldn't help but take a step back. The man known as Mr. Samuel glanced at Zhang Jue and smirked. He thought that the one who could come here unnoticed was another troublesome figure like the one across the street, but he didn't expect it to be just a pair of ordinary Foundation employees.

Mr. Samuel picked up his trench coat and laughed, "Li Chengming, causing an operation to fail because of someone is a shameful reason."

Dr. Li was momentarily speechless and whispered in defense, "Mr. Samuel, if I hadn't spied out the location of SCP-2950 from that employee, the organization wouldn't have found this place so quickly..."

Mr. Samuel interrupted him, "That's why you're still alive to talk here." Dr. Li seemed very afraid of this Mr. Samuel and muttered twice, not daring to speak.

After listening to their conversation, Zhang Jue laughed loudly and pointed at Dr. Li, "I told you that you're just a coward, right? If someone dared to talk to me like that, I would have beaten him up long ago."

"You-" Dr. Li was shaking with anger at Zhang Jue, but he had no way to get angry.

Mr. Samuel thought Zhang Jue was just a show-off. He had seen a lot of people like that and said, "We'll just kill them later. What a nuisance." He said it lightly as if he didn't take human life seriously and acted that killing someone was as simple as drinking water.

Yang Xue clenched her fist tightly and asked softly, "That security personnel were all killed by you, right?"

"Oh, those minions? We just got rid of them." Mr. Samuel sneered, "What about it? Do you want to take an act of revenge for them?"

Yang Xue wanted to rush up but was stopped by Zhang Jue's hand. "Women should not get involved in matters between men. Just stay put." Yang Xue looked at him. Zhang Jue's eyes were clear and transparent.

This scene fell in the eyes of Mr. Samuel, who naturally thought that Zhang Jue was afraid, snickered, and stopped paying attention to them. They were just a pair of gnats, and when it was over, they would just be disposed of like the usual. But he didn't want to do it right now, and It'll only cause any more trouble for them.

He said to the mysterious man who didn't say a word, "Excuse me, but we will take away SCP-2950. I don't know who you are and which side you belong to, but if you don't want to be hunted by the Chaos Insurgency, please don't stop me." Hearing Mr. Samuel's words, Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes; it was the Chaos Insurgency. They really went all out to fight against the Foundation.

The Chaos Insurgency was a big name in the SCP Foundation's universe. This organization was strongly dramatic from the very beginning of its establishment.

At first, they were known as the Insurgency, an SCP Foundation rebel group that went AWOL with multiple researchers and anomalous items. It was one of the O5 Council that created it to accomplish unethical tasks or to deal with unpleasant political issues while keeping the Foundation's public reputation intact.

The Insurgency personnel was composed of members from the Mobile Task Force Alpha-1, the Red Right Hand, known for their absolute loyalty to the O5 Council and their complete secrecy about their origins, identity, and actions.

Over the decades, the Insurgency has repeatedly and covertly promoted the goals of the O5 Council using anomalous items under the guise of the Foundation Rebels. In their last operation, the Insurgency took several SCP objects from the Foundation's control and sent dozens of defected Foundation researchers to a safety.

There were several more unplanned attacks on the site on the same day. The Insurgency seized multiple SCP objects with great research and military value, and the Foundation suffered heavy casualties. The Foundation's biggest scandal was leaked to the whole SCP Foundation personnel.

The O5 Council was shocked. There was no warning of the betrayal from the Red Right Hand, the Foundation did not even know the motive of their betrayal, and all attempts to find, apprehend or assassinate the Insurgency was failed.

The O5 Council had to admit that their covert operations team had defected, and the Foundation would face the threat of a new organization. They called them: the Chaos Insurgency.

The main base and current leader of the Chaos Insurgency is still unknown. They directly fought The Foundation and even used force to prevent the Foundation from containing the anomalies.

They take advantage of the authoritarian system from poor developing countries and use their populations as the Foundation does with their D-Class personnel. They intentionally keep these countries poor and constantly at war to continue their radical experiments, recruit soldiers, and conduct other operations.

The Insurgency has been fighting with the Foundation for an unknown number of years, but no one knows exactly what their goals are. To be an enemy of such an organization is a tremendous headache.

It felt like you were standing across a madman, and what he would do, you couldn't imagine at all. What made Zhang Jue more concerned is that, if they wanted to grab the SCP-2950, shouldn't they knew already the real ability of SCP-2950, or did they just think it was very important?

If it was the latter, then there was still room for maneuvering. If it were the former, it would be a lot of trouble.

As Zhang Jue was thinking, Mr. Samuel continued, "Now, I promise you that I will never interfere with your actions, and if there is something you want within this site, I can help you-"

The gun in Mr. Samuel's hand had been pointed at the mysterious man's head, and the distance between them was only one meter, but he never fired. It was obvious that he was very scornful towards the man in the gray suit.

Zhang Jue looked at it in his eyes. Although Mr. Samuel had an arrogant attitude, he was able to barge into the most heavily guarded floor on Site-14 alone, so his strength was not to be underestimated.

The person who could make him stop and concede was not an ordinary person, but Zhang Jue wondered which side of the group he belonged to. After Mr. Samuel finished speaking, the mysterious man turned his head and finally looked in the direction of Zhang Jue and Yang Xue.

"Unfortunately, you don't run the show here."

Mr. Samuel froze, and it was the first time that the man in the gray suit looked at Zhang Jue right in the eye. In just a moment, he realized that Zhang Jue was a Foundation employee, but it seemed different from the others. That well-trained security personnel would involuntarily tremble when faced with him. But this dangling young man appeared to have no fear of him at all.

He turned sideways, "Kid, who are you?"

Zhang Jue shielded Yang Xue behind him and asked with a smirk on his face, "Shouldn't I be the one asking that question?"

Mr. Samuel aimed his gun at Zhang Jue: "Young man, recognize the situation. There are things that it was too late to repent."

"Oh?" Zhang Jue raised an eyebrow and smirked faintly, "Like what?"

Mr. Samuel realized that there was absolutely no fear in Zhang Jue's eyes in the face of his gun. It's impossible to fake such emotions without fear. Either he was a fool, or he was that confident.

Seeing this situation, Dr. Li immediately fanned the flames: "Mr. Samuel, this man has always been this rampant. If you don't teach him a lesson, he won't cooperate."

Mr. Samuel nodded, "Like this-"

Bang! Mr. Samuel fired a shot, hitting Zhang Jue in the left leg without warning. Zhang Jue took a half step back.

"Zhang Jue!" Yang Xue held him up.

Zhang Jue waved his hand at her, signaling that he was fine.

Dr. Li watched the scene with a treacherous smile and said to Mr. Samuel, "My lord, the way I saw it, it's not too late to cripple both of them first, and then we can discuss SCP-2950 later."

The mysterious man's stance in this situation was not clear. Mr. Samuel did not want to continue killing people, and Dr. Li's suggestion coincided with his. Both of them would die sooner or later anyway.

He aimed his gun at Yang Xue: "Then let's start with you."

Bang! A gunshot was heard.

Yang Xue closed her eyes tightly and clenched her teeth, but the imagined sharp pain did not come. She opened her eyes. Zhang Jue shielded her in the nick of time, blocking the bullet with his own back.

"You-" Seeing the blood flowing from the corner of Zhang Jue's mouth. Yang Xue was at a loss for words.

However, Zhang Jue smiled.

"Don't worry, Dr. Yang, do you know why I brought you out in front of them in a dignified manner?" He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and slowly turned around, his smile gradually becoming fierce.

"That's because I, with certainty, will beat them up so much to the point they won't even recognize their mother again."
