Chapter 477: "What way?" Clarissa asked excitedly.
The man's voice cagain, saying, "Find Dr. Finley and get her to help us decrypt the chip's codes." As soon as he finished speaking, the others echoed, “Yes, Dr. Finley seems to be the only one capable of cracking the codes." "The person who designed the chip is incredibly talented, but Dr. Finley is equally skilled." "Right now, in the chip industry, if Dr. Finley can't decrypt it, then nobody else can. We'd have to wait for someone as talented as the chip's creator." After listening to their thoughts, Clarissa asked, "Do we have any leads on Dr. Finley?" An uneasy silence fell over the group. Then one man shared, "From what I know, several groups are searching for Dr. Finley. She likely foresaw the danger and has hidden herself well, so her whereabouts are unknown." "Has anyone here actually seen Dr. Finley?" asked Clarissa.

They were both trained by her and are top talents in research and development. Beyond them, I know of no one else who has seen her." Clarissa scoffed, "Then bring in Joziah and Leo. If they talk, let them go. If not, they face torture until they break." "I doubt that will work. If we've thought of this, so have the other groups looking for Dr. Finley. If it were effective, it would've worked by now." "Why can't we try it?" Clarissa asked, puzzled.
The man clarified, "Joziah and Leo cfrom impressive backgrounds. Their dedication to working for Dr. Finley stems from their deep admiration for her skills and their passion for the field." "Who are they?" Clarissa asked further.
“I'm not sure. They're quite enigmatic. They're certainly no ordinary office workers. Otherwise, someone would've approached them by now." "Then how do we get Dr. Finley to work for us?" Clarissa asked.
"We work with Aelfric," the man suggested.
"Aelfric?" Clarissa responded in astonishment. “He's the deputy chief instructor at Doomsday Base. If we team up with him, aren't we inviting trouble?" The man explained, "Do you remember? Five years ago, when we snuck into Doomsday Base to steal the chip, someone secretly distracted the bodyguards for us and temporarily shut down the surveillance. Have you ever wondered who that was?" "Do you mean Aelfric was the one?" Clarissa inquired.
"Yes, it was him," the man confirmed. "The only person who could rearrange the guards and control the surveillance at Doomsday Base would have to be someone with significant authority there. Aelfric fits that condition." "But even so, we can't be completely certain it was Aelfric," Clarissa pointed out.

"Excuse me? Didn't I make it clear that senior executives of Peridot om Consortium are forbidden from contacting Aelfric? How could you ignore my directive?" Clarissa demanded.
"I didn't mean to disobey you. It was purely accidental!” the man hastily explained. "Just a few days ago, Tran into Aelfric by chance. He recognizedas a member of the Peridot Consortium and started a conversation.
I couldn't just snub him, so I engaged him briefly. I never expected him to admit the truth to me. He mentioned t that he had assisted us back then, and another thing..."
