Chapter 287 Experiment No. 7

After entering the opera house, Varga, like the other young couples in love who had come to the opera house for a date, bought her ticket and sat in the audience to wait for the opera house's performance that day.

Varga arrived very early, and after she took her seat, she waited a full half hour before the performance in the opera house officially began. Today they were to perform the classic opera *La Traviata*, created by the great Emperor Raoul of the Caman Empire.

"Friends! Tonight belongs to us, tonight brings us boundless joy, let us raise our glasses in celebration..."

"···········"

"So this is Alfred? Armand, you'll never find such devotion anywhere else in the world..."

"···········"

It must be said that the actors at the Falcao Opera gave a very good performance; their acting skills and emotions were excellent. As the story unfolded, the audience was quickly immersed in the tragic love story of La Traviata and the male lead, Armand. At this moment, Varga, who had been quietly sitting in her seat, got up and left the audience, quietly going to the basement of the opera house.

"You're late!" Unlike the dark and gloomy basements people usually imagine, the basement beneath the opera house was spacious, bright, and well-lit. At this moment, Mr. Emery, the behind-the-scenes boss of the opera house, appeared in the basement, dressed neatly. His hawk-like eyes were fixed on Varga as she entered the basement.

"What do you want with me?" Varga ignored Emery's displeasure and said calmly.

"Why do you think I'd like to see you?" Hearing Varga's question, Mr. Emery responded with a furious laugh:

"Out of goodwill, Emery, I'd like to offer you some advice: think before you speak, and consider your place!" Varga said calmly, her gaze sweeping coldly over Emery.

Feeling the icy chill in Varga's eyes, Mr. Emery's anger completely vanished. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry!"

After hearing Emery's apology, Varga didn't press the matter further, and calmly replied, "What do you want to ask? Go ahead!"

"What happened to the person who was following me that day? Why did we agree to act together, and why did you strike first and then let me leave?" Although Mr. Emery's tone was much calmer than before, the questioning in his words was still very obvious.

Although she asked Emery why he wanted to see her, Varga seemed to know very well what question Emery wanted to ask her. After Emery finished asking, Varga replied without hesitation, "That person is still alive. As for why I acted first, it's because your acting was so bad that he realized you had discovered his trail and was deliberately luring him out of the city. If I didn't act soon, he would have escaped."

"As for why I asked you to leave, the reason is simple. We could defeat that person together, but we couldn't kill him, let alone capture him alive. Since that's the case, don't expose yourself. As the person directly involved, you should know better than I how many resources the organization has invested in you as a spy!"

Mr. Emery was clearly not satisfied with Varga's explanation, but perhaps he had already accepted Varga's advice. He stared at Varga and said, enunciating each word clearly, "I will report this matter truthfully to Butler Victor!"

"Suit yourself!" Varga remained calm and noncommittal in the face of Emery's threat.

"The Valencia Merchant Guild's third fleet will begin its voyage to the Hoy Continent in a week. How much longer will it take you to develop the seventh prototype?" After ending that topic, Emery seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject, continuing to ask:

Upon hearing the words "Test Subject Seven," Varga's expression turned serious. After a moment's thought, she shook her head and said, "Test Subject Seven was personally researched by Professor Gulsi. Although I assisted her with some tasks, she never allowed me access to the core research. I tried many methods but couldn't get in touch with the core content. However, according to my calculations, she should have completed her research on Test Subject Seven a week ago!"

Emery's eyes sharpened instantly upon hearing the last part. To ensure he hadn't misunderstood, he asked Varga, "Are you certain that Dr. Gulsi completed the research on test subject number seven a week ago?"

"I can't be 100% sure, but I found this in her lab!" Varga took out a small bottle from her spatial ring and solemnly handed it to Emery.

"What is this?" After taking the small bottle from Varga, Mr. Emery raised an eyebrow and asked with some curiosity:

"These are the semi-finished remnants of Experiment No. 7 that I secretly collected in the lab about two weeks ago. These remnants have all undergone the third process. Theoretically speaking, after completing the third process, there are no more technical difficulties in the research and refining of Experiment No. 7. What remains are just some routine finishing touches. Even if Professor Gulsi were to complete these tasks by himself, it would only take him three days at the fastest, and a week at the latest!" Varga explained.

Upon hearing Varga say that the small bottle in her hand contained the unfinished residue of the seventh test subject, Emery's gaze towards the bottle immediately became very serious.

Noticing Emery's look, Varga seemed to know he was wary. She sneered, "Don't worry, this bottle is specially made. It has a seal specifically designed to prevent any leaks. All you need to do is relay my words and this item to Butler Victor completely sealed!"

Although Emery received a reassurance from Varga that she was safe, the apprehension in her eyes as she looked at the object in her hand didn't lessen much. Clearly, Emery knew very well just how terrifying the contents of the bottle were…

"I will deliver the things and the message!" Emery said in a deep voice.

"Very good!" Seeing that Emery had nothing else to ask her, Varga nodded in satisfaction, walked out of the basement, and silently returned to her seat in the audience.
