Ronin's question made Flash not know how to answer him.Flash once promised Ronin that as long as he could cooperate with them to steal useful information from Catherine, they would give him a large sum of money to let him go, but those were all lies.After spending some time with Ronin, Flash felt a bit sympathetic toward him.His growth experience was actually similar to Ronin's, but he was not as lucky as Ronin to meet Catherine.Looking at Ronin's eyes, Flash couldn't tell a lie no matter what."Hahaha..." Ronin laughed out loud. He pointed at Flash and lay down to the side. "Flash, you're done. You're actually starting to sympathize with me and can't bear to lie to me."Having been seen through by Ronin, Flash's guilt was hard to hide.He tried desperately to hide his guilt, but he looked more and more comical. "Ronin, don't play tricks. Behave yourself. It's not your turn to talk here."Facing the threat of Flash, Ronin was not afraid at all. He got up and slowly lowered
Just as Catherine emerged from the laboratory, she ran into Marshall.He had been smiling for the past few days but suddenly had a gloomy face, which was really strange. "Professor, what's the matter with you?" Catherine spoke up and stopped Marshall, who was about to go downstairs.Upon hearing Catherine's voice, Marshall's body trembled slightly, feeling somewhat startled. He turned around and looked at Catherine with a somewhat evasive gaze. Although he hid it well, he couldn't escape Catherine's keen eyes. "Catherine, are you planning to go back and rest?" "Yes!" Catherine stared at Marshall, carefully inquiring, "Professor, have you encountered something?""No!" Marshall immediately denied it. "There's nothing going on. Don't overthink it. Since work is finished, you should go back and rest early! Don't play on your phone at night. Just go home, have dinner, and go to sleep, okay?"Catherine always felt that Marshall was acting strange, but since he was unwilling to talk a
Catherine was concerned about this. She understood that if something were to happen, the university would immediately contact Marshall.Now was a critical stage of the experiment, and Marshall would definitely not let her know. He would quietly bear all of this directly.Marshall fell silent for a moment, then chuckled softly. "You don't need to worry about these things. I will handle it with the university. I have been a professor for so many years, and now I am one of the most famous professors at Styre University. Everyone will give me some face, and this matter will not cause any trouble. Furthermore, we both know the real situation. One who is upright is not afraid of the shady person. Let them come and investigate as much as they want.""Yeah!" Catherine nodded and first agreed with Marshall's remarks, "Professor, can you please explain specifically how the university has arranged this?"Since she had asked, Marshall didn't want to hide it from her. "The university mentioned
Branden's account looked like it had just recently been registered, as the level had not even been displayed yet.There was only one post on his account. Below this post, there were actually thousands of comments.According to the usual practice, if a company was involved in a scandal, the company's public relations team would immediately come out to suppress the negative public opinion, lower the heat, and then slowly manage the public relations. However, this time, Branden bucked the trend by opening an account and posting updates on social media despite rarely making public appearances or speaking in public.The post was very simple, just one sentence. "The investor is me. I dote on her."The simple sentence seemed to confirm the speculations in the post. Branden financed the Styre Laboratory for Catherine, providing financial support to Styre University.After Branden's update, the following comments went crazy.The official account of the Duncan Corporation immediately retwe
"Exercising" before going to bed really helped with sleep. Catherine had a good night's sleep, sleeping straight through until morning without any dreams. If it weren't for Branden waking her up in the morning, she would have been late.As soon as Catherine entered the laboratory building, she ran into Marshall. Unlike yesterday, he seemed lively and energetic today. "Professor Hartley," Catherine greeted him.Marshall warmly responded, "Hey, come on. Let's go upstairs together." Just as they got to his office, they heard a student delivering a message. "Professor Hartley, Mr. Farrell wants to see you in his office!"Marshall had intended to chat with Catherine, but he hadn't expected Ultan to summon him so early. Guessing it might be about a donation, Marshall had no choice but to go. "You go to the lab first, and find me at noon. We'll talk then," he told Catherine.As Marshall was about to leave, the student delivering the message awkwardly scratched the back of his head and s
Rylan was quite happy when Catherine called him, but his expression turned dark as soon as he answered the phone. Despite her generally cold demeanor, he could tell that this time, her coldness was different. While she was typically aloof, her current tone was laced with hostility, which he found unacceptable. "What do you mean, Catherine? What have I done to make you so angry?" he asked.Catherine responded in a cold tone, "You know what you've done. I don't care about your intentions, but if you interfere with my experiment, you'll be in trouble."Upon hearing this, Rylan realized that Catherine must have found out about his connection to Reelyne Technologies, which prompted her call. He cursed inwardly the two people he had sent to handle the matter, blaming their incompetence. Since Catherine had known, he understood that denying it wouldn't change anything. She could see through his lie easily."You don't know how envious I am of Branden," Rylan said. "I see how he sponsored yo
Ronin grabbed Flash's collar, glaring at him angrily. "I said, don't touch Professor Warner, and I mean it!"The atmosphere in the room became tense in an instant. Despite Ronin's anger, Flash, remained composed, pressing on, "Give me a reason!"This was Flash's territory; Ronin was merely a prisoner in captivity. The only reason Flash hadn't laid hands on Ronin was because Ronin had some use left. But that didn't mean Ronin could do as he pleased. Once Flash found Ronin's value insufficient, he would get rid of Ronin.Ronin gritted his teeth and glared at Flash, but he didn't voice his reason.Flash didn't press him further. Instead, he stood up, preparing to leave. "Ronin, you may have been enjoying yourself these days, but don't forget your current situation. Who we target is not for you to decide!"Faced with Flash's threat, Ronin retorted, "Even if you capture Professor Warner, you won't be able to access the core data if I don't cooperate." Winston was an expert, but he co
"Professor Warner, have you made your decision?"Upon hearing the voice, Winston silently raised his head, his face filled with disdain. "You might as well stop wasting your time. I've said it before. I will not cooperate with you, never."Winston would rather die than betray the school or his friends. He would never go against his conscience and morals. As a professor, he conducted experimental projects with students and knew well the amount of manpower and resources required for a project to come to fruition.Marshall once said it was the result of his life's work. If it weren't for Catherine, the experiment would never succeed.Now, these scoundrels wanted to reap benefits without effort, and Winston would never let that happen. He stiffened his neck and glared at Flash. "If you have the guts, just kill me. Since you call me Professor Warner, then you should know my identity. Just because you capture me doesn't mean you can get what you want from me. My school and my superiors w
