There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

"Please use."

After handing the water to Talina, Saria sat back in her seat and looked at Talina leisurely.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Like a frightened feathered beast, Talina's every move revealed her inner unease.

Saria is a Vaifan, a race that naturally advocates violence and uses force to take what they need. She is worried about what this so-called director of the defense department will do.

Although I have revealed my identity, what if?

"Don't worry, I just want to ask you some questions. After I get the answers, I will take you to find Muirseth. I know where she is."

Seeing Talina's uneasiness, Saria tried to comfort her.

With Saria's assurance, Talina felt a little relieved, but she was still wary of Saria.

Saria didn't care and asked the question she wanted to ask directly.

"You and Ifrit know each other, right? Where did you meet? When? How much do you know about her past? Also, she said that hair accessory of yours was hers. What's going on? And one more thing..."

"Wait! Wait! Slow down!"

What Saria said in one breath was more than Talina could bear, and she had to speak up to interrupt Saria's "attack".

"Feel sorry."

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Saria apologized decisively.

She really cared too much about what happened behind Ifrit, and the traces left in the destroyed laboratory undoubtedly indicated one thing.

There are some unethical people doing live experiments on humans!

Still a teenager!

With anger burning in her eyes, Saria couldn't help but clench her fists tightly, making a creaking sound.

When she thought of Ifrit stumbling towards her in the destroyed underground laboratory, struggling to survive, Saria felt the useless emotion of anger that she had suppressed for a long time begin to spread in her heart.

But she was rational and suppressed it in time.

There is no use being angry. Find them and send them to where they should go. That is what you should do instead of venting your emotions here.

"Hey, hey! I haven't answered yet! But you don't have to hit me, right?!"

Standing up from her seat, Talina leaned back and looked at Saria in panic.

Is this violent Vaifan finally losing his patience?

I am just a doctor and I don’t have the same powerful abilities as them!

If Saria really went crazy, her only option would be to escape.

"Sorry for losing my composure. Please tell me how you met Ifrit and where he was. This is very important to me. Please!"

Standing up and bowing to Talina to apologize, Saria spoke sincerely.

This person...why is he so weird?

After Saria's apology, Talina sat back in her seat.

"I don't know him... I can't really say, we've only met a few times. As for the location... it seems to be on the Colombian border. I don't know the exact location, but there seems to be an abandoned pioneer camp nearby. Right!"

As she spoke, Talina suddenly shouted loudly.

"The Locken Tank! We met there! As the head of Rhine Life's security department, you should know it!"

Whispering sorry in her heart, Talina revealed to Saria the target she was pursuing, the Loken Tank.

The last time she met Narcissa was in the experimental building of the Locke Tank. Coincidentally, the few times she met Ifrit were also in the Locke Tank.

In a way, she was right.

If Saria, the head of Rhine's defense department, led the way, her search might be much easier.

"Lorcan Williams?"

As he frowned and said a name, a hint of surprise flashed across Saria's face.

Of course she knew the name of Locke Tank, it was even well-known to her!

After all, not every scholar who devotes himself to science can be sentenced to 120 years in prison, which is tantamount to the death penalty.

"Yes, that's him!"

Affirming Saria's words, Talina looked at her expectantly.

"He was sentenced to 120 years in prison for something eight years ago and has served seven years so far, so..."

This line is broken.

After answering Talina's words rationally, Saria closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead with her hands. The rich black under her eye sockets was covered by makeup, but the fatigue she revealed was unmistakable.

"Is that so?"

Talina didn't react that much, and rather said that this was the correct way.

She had also looked into the news about the Locke water tank in the past few years, but most of it was vague statements and groundless speculation.

So much time has passed, it would be abnormal if nothing went wrong.

It was just a small setback, not enough to make her lose confidence.

"You and Ifrit met in the Loken tank. So... are you the same as her?"

After careful consideration and making sure that her words were not discriminatory or malicious, Saria said them.

After all, this guess is a bit disrespectful. Talina came from Casimir and was a guest of her colleague Ferdinand. She also seemed to have a happy family. It was really rude to guess that she was an experimenter or something.

But reason told Saria that this was the only way to meet Ifrit in such a place. For the sake of the child, she had to offend him and then compensate him with something afterwards.

"Well, I'm an orphan! But I met my mother later, so I'm living a good life!"

The delicate topic was brought up with a smile, and Talina didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

She had no good feelings towards those two people, and they had never fulfilled their responsibilities as parents. It was entirely because of her good luck that Talina was able to come to the Rocken Tank alive.

"Well, I see."

Nodding, Saria took the initiative to skip this topic.

"It's just that I left early. Because of Percy, I went to Casimir, and I have been here ever since."

Adding to the follow-up, Talina observed Saria's reaction.

Saria did not disappoint her and quickly found the key point of Talina's words.

"Leaving early? Percy? Who is she? The research on the Locke tank..."

"Hello~ What can I do for you? Our busy section chief, Saria~"

With the cold tone that is unique to young girls, the door of the office was opened, and Tabarina, who had been searching for Muirseth in vain, poked her head out of the door.

"Oh, there's another little cutie here~"

Volume 4: Chapter 93: Order

As soon as Muirses appeared, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot. Both Talina and Saria breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Talina didn't have to face the terrifying dragon alone because a third party came into play, while Saria was relieved because she had made some progress in her investigation.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Without being polite at all and without asking Muirseth to find a seat, Saria asked the question directly.

"Oh my! You won't even give me a sip of water! This really breaks my heart, even as the Director of the Ecology Department, after a busy day. Has our friendship faded to the point where even this little bit of concern is gone?"

Pretending to be sad, Muirseth sat on the sofa at the side, lying on his side, covering half of his face with his hand, looking pitiful and about to cry.

If Talina had not met the director of Rhine's ecology department yesterday, she might have been fooled by his superb acting skills.

but...

Is this guy an actor?

Talina looked back at Muirseth.

It seemed like when she met her just yesterday, she was just like that, deliberately pretending to be like that to tease her.

"Oh my~ What's wrong? You've been staring at me. Are you mesmerized by my beauty?"

Talina's gaze was straightforward and pure, which was naturally noticed by Muirseth. He changed his expression and teased Talina.

Is this teasing?!

Talina quickly turned her head away and stopped looking at Muirses, fearing that he would say something vicious again.

On the other hand, it was also to avoid complications. I already have enough debts. If another person is involved, I probably won’t have enough to share.

Well, the kind that can be broken into five pieces.

"Be serious and don't be rude to the guests. This matter is very important. Ms. Talina, please don't misunderstand. She is just like this and has no other intentions."

Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound. Saria's tone was slow, as if it was a warning, but also a bit helpless.

She and Muirside had met several years before at the University of Wolverhampton. She would explain his character in detail (no more than three minutes), but to strangers he seemed a little frivolous and bold.

"Well, it's okay. Do you have something important to say? I'll step aside for now and come back later."

Talina tactfully prepared to get up and leave, but Muirseth got to her first and stopped her.

"It's just some small things. It's okay to sit in on them. Just don't say anything when you get out of here. Besides, I think we've gotten some clues about what you were looking for me about yesterday. Don't you want to hear about it?"

Having offered an offer that was irresistible, Muirseth looked at Talina with confidence.

Get it right

"Is that okay? Director Saria?"

Talina really couldn't refuse this condition, but she also knew who was the king here, so she turned around and asked Saria.

When Muirseth saw that Talina didn't look for him but went to find Saria, he puffed up his face in dissatisfaction and pouted his lips, as if he was about to be poked and deflated.

Please! She was the one who found the information and she was the one who knew the person first, so why is she asking Saria instead of me?

"Mmm! Why don't you ask me?!"

Poking Talina's face with his hand, Muirseth looked dissatisfied.

"Um... can I take it here?"

Not knowing what Muirseth was up to, Talina had no choice but to repeat the question she had just asked Saria.

"Of course! Sit down first! Have some candy and rest!"

Satisfied nodded, and Muir and Seth pressed Talina down on the sofa, then took out a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Talina's hand.

Are you treating yourself like a child?

Looking at Muirseth strangely, Talina still accepted the handful of candy.

The goodwill emanating from the other party is already very obvious. Although I don’t know why, it is always right to establish a good relationship with him. I still have to rely on him!

"Hayden Pharmaceuticals, such a small company doesn't have that kind of power. They couldn't have caused an explosion of that magnitude, and the flames that shot up into the sky. Furthermore, the boss of Hayden Pharmaceuticals has been burned to a pile of charcoal."

Looking at the clues found by Muirseth, Saria easily saw that something was wrong.

Hayden Pharmaceuticals is just one of the many companies in Colombia struggling to survive at the bottom of society. It will never and cannot cause a disaster of this magnitude.

unless...

They are just an empty shell, and there are other people behind the scenes who are actually doing the real work!

"Well, I didn't say they were all~"

After peeling off the candy wrapper, Muirseth put an orange-flavored candy into her mouth. The sour and sweet taste made her squint her eyes happily.

"What's next?"

Putting down the documents in her hand, Saria looked at Muirses seriously.

"No, the clues are broken. A group of professionals have wiped out all traces. You know, I'm just a weak, pitiful and helpless elf. If I really run into them, I won't be able to escape~"

Muirseth said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Is that so?"

Saria nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any further questions.
