Liam understood one thing clearly.
From everything he had studied, high doses of tranquilizers could shut down a dinosaur’s heart and lungs.
He had already driven thirty darts straight into the Indominus’ chest.
Combined with everything from before… It had to go down.
Still— He didn’t stop.
Thirty-five.
The creature’s eyelids finally dropped shut.
But Liam kept going.
This wasn’t a normal animal.
It was engineered.
Unnatural.
Unpredictable.
He wasn’t taking chances.
One dart after another— Driven straight into the chest.
By the time he hit sixty… The Indominus rex lay completely still.
No movement.
No resistance.
Behind him, Owen and Claire stood frozen.
“That’s… insane,” Owen muttered.
“Sixty doses… one of those could knock a person out for days.” Claire didn’t even speak.
She just stared.
Then both of them snapped back to reality.
Owen rushed to the vehicle, grabbing more tranquilizers out of instinct.
By the time they reached Liam— It was over.
The heartbeat had stopped.
The monster was dead.
Liam stepped onto its head.
Raised the steel wrench.
And brought it down.
Hard.
Once.
Twice.
Again.
The tooth didn’t budge at first.
He kept striking.
Again.
Again.
Finally— A crack.
Then— A heavy clatter.
A massive tooth broke free.
Liam jumped down and picked it up with both hands.
Behind him, silence.
Disbelief.
Owen, Claire, and the two boys stared like they were looking at something unreal.
“You really came here… just for a tooth?” Owen asked.
“Yeah,” Liam replied casually.
“That… and to make sure it doesn’t get back up.” Claire blinked.
No response.
Liam turned to leave.
“Wait!” she called out.
“Where are you going?” “I’ve got something else to take care of.” The boys ran up behind him, excitement all over their faces.
“Are you really leaving?” “That was the coolest thing ever!” “Can we visit you someday?” Liam smiled faintly.
“Take care of yourselves.” Claire stepped forward quickly, stopping in front of him.
“Thank you,” she said, voice steady but emotional.
“You saved a lot of people today.” “You’ve already said that.” She hesitated— Then stepped in and hugged him.
“Still.
Thank you.” Liam gave a small nod.
“Take care.” He got into the Humvee.
Placed his hand on the tooth.
“Collect.” In an instant— The tooth vanished.
[Indominus rex tooth and ferocity experience collected.] [Mission Completion: 100%] [Host may return immediately.
Forced return in 24 hours.] The engine roared.
Liam drove deep into the forest.
Far enough.
Isolated.
Safe.
He stepped out.
Closed his eyes.
“Return.” And vanished.
…
He opened his eyes.
Back in his room.
Familiar walls.
Small space.
Everything exactly as he left it.
Liam exhaled deeply and lay back on the bed.
The silence felt unreal.
The mission had been intense.
Every second on the edge of death.
But now— It was over.
[Ding.
Mission complete.] [Client satisfaction: Excellent.] [Evaluation: Five-star completion.] [Ding.
Reward granted: Indominus rex Sensory Ability – Smell (Level 1).] Liam blinked.
“…Smell?” For a second, he just stared.
Of all things— That?
[Enhanced olfactory perception.
Allows detection and differentiation of subtle scent signatures beyond normal human capability.
Active control enabled.] Liam frowned slightly.
“What am I supposed to do with that?” Then— He paused.
Something felt… different.
The air.
The room.
He inhaled slowly.
And suddenly— Everything separated.
Wood.
Dust.
Fabric.
Outside— Flowers.
Clear.
Distinct.
Layered.
He could tell them apart instantly.
Not just smell them— Identify them.
Track them.
It was subtle.
But powerful.
Liam lay there quietly, staring at the ceiling.
A strange smile formed.
Maybe… This wasn’t a useless reward after all.
