Chapter 1107
"Who is she? Is she skind of little princess from one of the big families on Lone Island? Even Judson's being
super polite to her. Could she be the VIP everyone's talking about?" Tina's curiosity was piqued. Wasn't it said
that Kruiz was hosting a VIP today, which is why outsiders weren't allowed in?
Could she really be that guest?
Kylie frowned even deeper.
A VIP?
A young girl doesn't quite fit the profile.
She guessed that Kruiz was likely hosting a family head from one of the prominent families, and this young girl
was probably just the daughter of one of them. That's why Judson was being so courteous.
Life just isn't fair sometimes. She'd been slogging away at the medical base for years, and it still didn't measure
up to being born into the right family.
"Alright, let's get going," Kylie said, tearing her eyes away and striding off.
Tina quickly caught up with her.

Inside the lab.
"Hey, Flora, there you are!" Kruiz beamed with joy at the sight of Flora, his laughter filling the room.
The others quietly facepalmed.
Seriously, Master.
Could you try to maintain sdignity?
Flora greeted him politely.
"Flora, if there's anything you're not comfortable with here, just holler. Honestly, with your skills, you could jump
straight into being a mentor at the base!" Kruiz chuckled heartily.
Flora wasn't interested. Being a mentor meant giving lectures.
Too much effort.
"By the way, Flora, why don't you cwork in my lab after your entrance test?" Kruiz rubbed his hands
together, looking hopeful. "We're pretty laid-back here. Cin whenever you like, and the food's way better
than at the base. We're talking sweet and sour pork ribs, butter garlic prawns, steamed bass... whatever you
fancy, I'll get it made for you! Plus, we've got milkshakes and desserts in the afternoons. How does that sound?"
Kruiz grinned mischievously, like a big bad wolf trying to lure her in.
He really knew how to play to Flora's interests.
Flora was the type who, once she committed to something, would give it her all. But she was also lazy, never
taking much too seriously, and preferred not to exert herself
en
She loved her meat, especially sweet and sour pork ribs, and couldn't resist desserts, especially puff pastries!
The other mentors and senior fellows in the lab couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
The lab only recruited once a year, sometimes not even that. People at the base would do anything to get in,
practically begging Kruiz to let them join.

If they knew Kruiz was almost resorting to bribery to get a young girl to join...
That would be something.
“Alright.”
Flora agreed.
The deal Kruiz offered was hard to resist.

But Flora did squick thinking.
With all those rich meals and desserts, she might end up looking like a ball in no time.
Seeing Flora agree, Kruiz's face lit up like a blooming flower.
"Con, Flora, letshow you the experiment we were working on..."
Two hours later, Flora stepped out of the lab.
As she turned a corner, she heard the unmistakable sounds of punches and kicks, accompanied by a man's
angry shouts. Flora turned her head to see.
In the fading light of the sunset, a group of men had cornered a skinny boy against the wall. The boy kept his
head down, silent, then suddenly, as if sensing her gaze, he looked over at her.
His eyes were lifeless.
Yet there was a strange, almost sinister hint of aggression, as if he was smiling.
But in an instant, it vanished, and the boy suddenly dashed towards Flora, hiding behind her.
"Sister, help me..."
His voice shook, as if truly frightened.
