NovelEnglishChapter 771:
The heavy atmosphere inside was just as stifling as it had been
When she left, Allison glanced at her new desk, let out a deep sigh, and sat down.
Verruckt, on the other hand, acted as though he hadn't noticed her. His face remained blank as he continued
working, which helped to relieve sof Allison's tension.
Out of the corner of her eye, she looked over at Verruckt’s desk. On the shelf behind him, she spotted a safe —
the splace where she had tricked Colton and Melany into believing the medicine was kept. But in fact, there
were no drugs inside, only infrared lasers that would set off an alarm if anyone got too close.
Her plan was to use that setup to make them trigger the alarm and draw the fire tomorrow.

mood in the room shifted to something far more dangerous. “Got it,” he said shortly, ending the call with just

Allison could sense the temperature dropping in the room, a chill creeping over her. Even without looking up, she

“The Immortality Group's banquet,” Verruckt replied, crossing his legs with ease. “Are you in?”
“Yes.” Allison nodded eagerly, a wide grin on her face, acting like a poor woman who had never seen such
money. “Forty thousand dollars! Of course, I'm in!”
Allison suspected the call from Immortality Pharmaceuticals was related to the earlier incident with the test
subject. That meant it could be a golden opportunity for her.
“That's unusual,” Verruckt remarked, tilting his head slightly. “You're normally so cautious, yet you didn’t even
ask if this is risky.”
Allison shrugged nonchalantly. “For
