NovelEnglish"I do want it, but the Chairman's proposal hasn't been approved yet."
With that thing in hand, there'd be no need to worry about lan and his crew's fate. Phil's gaze drifted toward the glass wall.
The wall was rather thick, bulletproof, offering a 360-degree panoramic view. Even the most intimate acts between two people
would unfold under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The humans inside this transparent enclosure lived without dignity, treated like pigs in a pen, even worse than pigs; they were lab
rats, bred for experimentation.
Philip checked on the weapon every few hours, his longing growing stronger each time.
Around its neck was a tiny emerald bead, an ornament it had worn for years - a simple piece of jade, so mundane that the research
base didn't bother to remove it. Ironically, this gave the weapon an extra touch of identity.
It was the only Rocky rodent adorned with any kind of jewelry.
Philip then visited his mentor, only to find her furiously arguing on the phone before slamming it against the wall.
"Professor?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsaac's venomous face softened as she saw her student, and she took a seat nearby.
"Philip, you know that Sarah?"
Sarah was a famed scientist at the base, her hands in many projects. She was the only one the higher-ups seemed to favor,
breaking numerous rules for her. She'd been at the base for over two decades.
"I know of her."
"That witch is always stealing my thunder. | recommended you for promotion, but she shot it down."
Philip frowned; he had never met this person, only heard of her reputation. She was a research fiend, mostly holed up in the most
secretive labs, rarely seen outside.
Her latest creation had pleased the higher-ups greatly. Other than being barred from leaving the base or contacting the outside
world, she enjoyed unparalleled freedom from the higher-ups.
"You're at odds with her, Professor?"
"Not exactly at odds. There was a minor clash years ago, but that's old news."
Isaac clenched her fists, the fierce look in her eyes intensifying.
"You know | can't stand Cynthia. Summer brought her here once."
Philip's pupils shook slightly; Cynthia had been to the facility? Anyone from outside who entered was never meant to leave - unless
as a corpse.
"You've met her here? Any issues? How did she get out?"
A cold smirk crossed Isaac's face, "Before | cto the base, my hwas in North America. | knew Cynthia from childhood, but
Augus only had eyes for her."
Another tale of romantic entanglement. Philip stayed silent, methodically pouring Isaac a cup of tea.
Isaac's fingers traced the rim of the cup, her voice icy.
"As a kid, | liked playing with Augus, but he never liked me. No matter what | did, his favor was always with Cynthia. So |
remembered her. Years after joining the base, Summer brought Cynthia here one time. Naturally, | was ecstatic. When thinking of
the regret in previous years, | found myself resent Cynthia even more. | wanted to subject her to experiments, but Summer
wouldn't allow it."
Isaac's disgust deepened as she spoke, "Summer is revolting, bringing her here with his hidden agendas."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Professor, did Summer have feelings for Mrs. Abbott?"
"He wishes. He just wanted to control Cynthia; he slipped her a few drugs he discovered at the research base. Cynthia was a
medical prodigy known across North America, exactly what the base needed. | thought they would never let her leave, but after
just six months, she was gone."
A tinge of regret flickered in Philip's eyes. It seemed he had missed this bit of history during his taway from the base.
