Man on the ark, forced to become king

Rhine Life Sciences, Headquarters Office.

The blonde woman, Perot, stood up from behind her desk and spoke fluent Yan language, which surprised Lin Lu for a moment.

It's just that accent... it still feels a bit strange.

However, for Colombians, this is good enough. It seems that Ms. Christensen has put in a lot of effort to secure her position as governor, even making a special effort to learn the most difficult language, Yan.

To learn Yan Guo language to the point of being able to communicate fluently requires a lot of hard work.

It must be said that her fluent Yan language did indeed set her apart from most of the senior executives of the Columbia company, giving the guests from Yan a very good first impression.

"Hello, Ms. Christensen."

Lin Lu nodded, sat down on the sofa, and her secretary, who followed her, brought two cups of tea and tactfully left the office.

'Is this person deliberately hidden from the list of important figures in Longmen? Or...?'

The office fell silent. No one spoke. Behind the desk, Christensen quietly observed the two guests who had come from afar, her gaze finally settling on the young woman.

Blonde hair, horns, this form...

If Rhine Lab's intelligence is correct, only one of the existing races fits the description, which should be the Qilin clan of Yan Kingdom, which holds a pivotal position within Yan Kingdom.

Moreover, this Qilin girl is clearly in control of this man.

Therefore, the identity of the young man in front of us is worth examining. The fact that a descendant of the Qilin clan is following behind him undoubtedly indicates that he has considerable status and influence within the Dragon Gate.

Even... the entire Yan Kingdom.

Generally speaking, a mere scientific research expo is not enough to attract the participation of the real high-level decision-makers from various large companies and independent cities. Once a certain level is reached, everyone knows what this kind of expo is actually for.

They are only qualified to intervene in matters involving important transactions or negotiations between the two parties.

For a moment, Christensen's mind was in turmoil, and many guesses flashed through her mind.

In her position, caution is essential.

Prior to this, she had already received lists of relevant personnel from other companies, but the problem only arose in Longmen, so she had no choice but to be cautious.

Rhine Labs may seem large and have considerable international influence, but compared to Lungmen, an international trade center, it is still far behind. Not to mention that Lungmen has the support of Yan State, and Rhine Labs simply cannot afford to offend them.

Even without Yan Kingdom, Rhine Life has no reason to offend Lungmen, which holds an important position in international trade, as that would not benefit any capital group.

"Mr. Lin."

After a long silence, seeing that neither of the two guests intended to speak, Christensen had no choice but to start a conversation herself, as she couldn't let the atmosphere remain silent.

"Excuse me, are you here to discuss any business?"

"I suppose so, the Awakening of Insects."

Lin Lu glanced at her and nodded, thinking to herself that Wei Yanwu still had some international standing. Even in Colombia, the chairman of a major company would have to give him some face.

"Yes, please take a look."

Lin Qingyan, who had been summoned from the Golden Tree to act as a temporary secretary, took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Christensen's desk. Although the little Qilin, who came from the Dali Temple's Supervisory Department, was only of average strength, he was quite experienced in official matters and his work was flawless.

Columbia is not Yan Country, and Rhine Life is not Lungmen.

If you want to do something here, simply attending the scientific expo isn't enough. After all, the expo only lasts for two days, and Rhine Lab won't allow outsiders to easily enter their premises, let alone their laboratories.

Therefore, Wei Yanwu had indeed prepared documents to reach cooperation with Rhine Life in certain aspects. At the same time, as relevant personnel, Lin Lu and Lin Qingyan could also obtain relatively relaxed permissions here, making it easier for them to handle matters.

It's true that outsiders can't access Rhine Labs' internal laboratories, but it's perfectly reasonable for partners to want to see if you're ready to complete the transaction, right?

Once inside, Lin Lu's perception abilities would make obtaining useful information a breeze.

Rhine Life Sciences would not refuse such a reasonable request, nor would it be able to refuse it.

Christensen had no idea what Lungmen was up to, assuming it was just normal business dealings. But this time, it seemed a little different from before. The first document on the top shelf made her frown slightly.

Collaboration regarding the treatment of Oripathy…

There are indeed many researchers within Rhine Labs who are studying topics related to Oripathy, but those studies are relatively superficial and have not yielded any major breakthroughs to date.

The infected population does not receive much attention from the international community, so Rhine Life Sciences will not allocate a large amount of funds to the development of drugs for Oripathy, as that would be a thankless task.

Before Longmen, no large company or city had ever proactively proposed cooperation in this area.

Why mention it specifically this time?

Could it be that some important figure in Lungmen has been infected with Oripathy?

Chapter 135 Chimera Therapy

"It's okay, it's okay, Saria promised me..."

On the lab table, Ifrit's hands were clenched tightly on the bed, her eyes wide open, trying to convince herself to endure the reactions caused by the drug being injected into her body.

Pain, still pain...

The pain made her unable to stop recalling things that had happened in the past.

The difference is that this time she has a few people she cares about.

"I can endure it... I can endure it..."

Remembering what Saria had said, the young girl trembled uncontrollably, using all her strength to convince herself.

……

"I'm sorry... Ifrit, I'm so sorry..."

Tears streamed down her face as she listened to Ifrit's suppressed sobs. Her palms, veins bulging, rested on the control panel.

A voice inside her told her that she couldn't go on like this...

Press the switch; the experiment will stop as soon as the switch is pressed...

But she couldn't do it...

Never before had she hated her own weakness and incompetence so much.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Suddenly, Ifrit, who was bound to the experimental table with restraints, sat up abruptly, with such force that she almost broke the special restraints.

Flames began to emanate from her body, causing the temperature inside the laboratory to rise.

"Ifrit!"

Seeing this scene, Himer could no longer hold back. For the first time, she made an offensive move, grabbing the teacher's clothes next to her, her suppressed voice sounding like it was being squeezed out from between her teeth.

"Teacher! Ifrit won't be able to hold on!"

She cried out, trying to press the stop button, but was stopped by an old hand.

"Soon……"

Parvis didn't even glance at his students; his eyes were fixed on the eyes inside the laboratory.

"teacher!"

"Stop the injection immediately!"

Hurried footsteps sounded from afar and quickly approached. Palvis looked in the direction of the sound and habitually put on a gentle smile.

"Director Seria, is everything settled? You've worked so hard..."

"I said, stop the injection immediately!"

"Hmm? The treatment is almost over, what is this...?"

Pavels' smile gradually disappeared as he stood in front of the control panel.

"Ifrit's Originium Arts going out of control will threaten headquarters' safety. Stop the injection immediately!"

Saria's voice was urgent, but Pars ignored it and remained motionless.

"You're overthinking it. As I said, the lab is already..."

"The accident at Hayden Laboratory was caused by Ifrit. Please keep this information strictly confidential and take it very seriously."

"what?"

Himer's pupils dilated suddenly, and the other researchers present began to whisper among themselves, but Palvis remained unmoved.

"If the stimulation continues, Ifrit's Originium Arts may get out of control again."

The narration from the head of the defense department continued, but Himer could no longer contain herself. She rushed to the control panel and tried to press the stop button, but Palvis's arm firmly blocked her, pushing away her hand that was reaching for the control panel.

"You can't stop without my permission."

"..."

The young researcher stood there, stunned. She suddenly felt that her teacher was so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that it was frightening.

"Step aside!"

Saria's cold shout came from the side. Palvis could hold off the physically weak Liboli, but he couldn't stop the suppressed rage of Vaiva.

The immense force pushed him aside.

Snapped!

As the finger landed on the button, the system's automatic prompt sounded over the loudspeaker.
