Man on the ark, forced to become king

"Rest assured, after joining the Golden Tree, we will provide Ifrit with the best treatment plan to ensure that she can get rid of Oripathy in a short period of time."

"thanks, thanks."

Himer was so excited that she was shaking and could barely stand. Seeing this, Saria quickly supported her shoulders and helped her calm down.

"Hermer, I'm so sorry, it was all my fault—"

"No, Saria, this is not your fault."

Looking at Ifrit sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed, Himer's expression softened; she did not resent Saria.

Since Saria also just learned the truth, why direct your hatred at her?

That makes no sense.

Moreover, just today, Saria stopped the experiment from continuing. If she were aware of and involved in the Balrog Project, she would have had no reason to do so.

Palvis...

Thinking of her teacher, Hermer unconsciously clenched her fists.

That person, he's the real mastermind! And Rhine Labs too!

This place is not the scientific research sanctuary she envisioned, but a devil's lair that has accumulated countless sins!

Who can guarantee that this is the first time something like Ifrit's incident has happened?

If even Saria, the head of the defense department, could be deceived and completely unaware of the ongoing experimental program, then wouldn't it be even easier to deceive the researchers like her?

It's likely that similar things have happened countless times before this.

This time, however, she was lucky enough, Ifrit was lucky enough, to have the opportunity to learn the truth and to make amends before things got too bad.

Even if Saria hadn't said anything, she couldn't possibly stay at Rhine Lab after this and associate with a bunch of ruthless demons!

"Saria, if we take Ifrit with us and leave, will the Grand Master agree?"

As her thoughts raced, Himer suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but look at Saria with concern.

She wanted to leave with Ifrit, but she was just an ordinary researcher. Could she really do it?

Rhine Lab will certainly not allow important experimental subjects to be taken away so easily.

Even Saria... if she intends to leave, she can't possibly fight against the entire Rhine Lab with her own strength, can she?

Although Saria has always been reliable, but...

“She has to agree. I’m taking you away, and nobody can stop me.”

A cold glint flashed in Saria's eyes as she spoke with unwavering resolve and overwhelming dominance.

If she didn't have to abide by those rules and regulations, no one in the entire Rhine Life would be her match; she had ample confidence in her strength.

Even the defense division she personally trained couldn't stop her.

This time, no one will be able to hurt Ifrit!

"Ladies, it seems you've forgotten about me?"

Lin Lu, left standing to the side, watched the two women talking to themselves as if they had forgotten about him, a living, breathing person, and couldn't help but interrupt.

What? You think you can fight your way out of Rhine Lab on your own? Do you think he, Lin, doesn't exist?

Isn't that a bit too disrespectful? Do you really think he's a doctor?

Moreover, what's the point of just leaving like this?

If you're going to leave, leave openly and honestly. Why slink away like that?

Not only will they walk the path openly and honestly, but all those who participated in the Flame Demon Plan will pay the price, and all evil will be judged!

He had already used a very crude method, having Swire Group, Cosicche, and Wei Yanwu jointly pressure the Colombian government, so he wouldn't mind being even more crude.

The head of Rhine Lab and that Parvis, neither of them can be let go!

Since they dared to conduct forbidden human experiments on a young child, they should be prepared to bear the consequences.

Even if a god himself were to descend today, he couldn't save Rhine's life, he said!

“Researcher Himer, Ms. Seria, you need not worry about this.”

"If you join the Golden Tree, then you are one of my Golden Tree people, and I will guarantee your safety."

"No one can bully members of the Golden Tree and get away unscathed. I am here, and justice is here."

“But, Mr. Lin…”

"No need to say more, Ms. Seria."

Lin Lu waved her hand decisively.

"You two take Ifrit and follow behind me. We're going to the commander's office!"

Chapter 139 The Flame Demon Plan, End

"Commander, you..."

The assassin wielding the sharp blade vanished without a trace, just as silently as she had appeared. Beads of sweat appeared on Palvis's aged face as he hesitated, unsure whether to speak.

Even though the assassin had already retreated, he felt that the other party was lurking in some unseen place, silently watching him.

That sense of crisis, like a thorn in his side, really frightened him.

Even a researcher like him, who spends all his time in the lab, could sense the danger emanating from that assassin. He was right next to you, yet your senses couldn't detect him, and you couldn't determine where the danger was coming from. The silent terror was far more frightening than the murderous aura emanating from those field agents.

Palvis had no doubt that if Mr. Lin had made the slightest move, he would have died in that office.

"It's alright, she's already gone."

Christensen closed her eyes and opened them again. A faint hum of mechanical operation rang out, and her tense body finally relaxed.

She only dared to make a move after Miss Qilin left the office to retrieve the documents.

The physical examination also found no trace of a third party in the office, so they must have left.

It has to be said that even she was startled by this ghost-like assassin, which at the same time made her suspicions even more certain.

An assassin capable of this level is undoubtedly top-tier, a first-rate expert in any company or organization.

However, such a master was dispatched to serve as a close bodyguard, and Mr. Lin was also accompanied by the Qilin clan of Yan Kingdom.

Kristen was 80% certain that he must be a big shot from a powerful and noble family in Yan Country!

Without sufficient power and background, how could the large corporations of Lungmen, Ursus, and Victoria exert pressure on the Colombian government at all costs in such a short period of time?

It's important to understand that such behavior is not as simple as a few words; doing so can cause significant harm to oneself.

However, they did it without hesitation because of Mr. Lin's words.

Yan Kingdom...

Thinking of that ancient and colossal entity, Christensen couldn't help but look troubled.

That was a giant that had existed in Terra for a long time, with a recorded history even longer than that of Victoria, not to mention Colombia, a country with very little history.

Over the long course of time, how much foundation have they accumulated? How many masters have they gathered?

Nobody knows.

To outsiders, Yan has always been shrouded in mystery. They don't seem to be keen on large-scale exchanges with the outside world, and no one knows their true military strength.

However, one thing is certain—even Ursus, which is recognized as having the largest army in the world today, is unwilling to provoke Yan Kingdom easily.

Colombian officials have always been wary of that country and dared not extend their reach there.

If even the national level is unwilling to have a conflict with Yan, then Rhine Life is even less likely to, and they are not worthy of it.

No matter how large a company is, it is not much stronger than an ant in front of a world-dominating superpower.

If that Mr. Lin really comes from the upper echelons of Yan Country, or even...

Therefore, Rhine Lab has absolutely no chance of winning this battle, nor any opportunity to turn the tide.

If there is a possibility that Rhine Life has to directly confront Yan Country, then Christen is certain that the Colombian government will sever ties with them immediately.

Similar things have happened before; she knows those tycoons and politicians all too well.

"Commander, the Flame Demon Plan really..."

Palvis's face showed a struggle, but he gritted his teeth and asked his question anyway.

It seems that the Flame Demon Project can no longer continue.

But, should we just give up like this?

As a researcher, he found it hard to accept this, especially since the experimental subject Ifrit's condition was so optimistic, she could see the future, and if the experiment continued, it was entirely possible to succeed; a super-infected person would be born in his hands...

Giving up in this situation would mean all our previous efforts were wasted!

"Otherwise, what do you want to do?"

Christen gave him a cold glare, her face showing displeasure.

Even at this point, she's still thinking about how to minimize the losses and how to preserve Rhine Lab's strength to the greatest extent possible. With Rhine Lab on the verge of collapse due to poor management, this old man is still thinking about that Flame Demon Project?!

Has your brain been filled with swill?
