There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

Confused by Ifrit's words, Talina didn't know why the topic had turned to this.

Is this something kids should talk about?!

and many more...

Were they talking about Narcissa just now?

If that's the case...

In an instant, Talina's face flushed red as she reacted, and she lowered her head shyly.

Those words were said by Narcissa and relayed to her by Ifrit, so it was self-evident who the protagonist was. In addition, the hairpin used for "proposal" was worn on her head.

Really...

Don’t take children’s words seriously. Don’t take children’s words seriously!

Pursing her lips, Talina reminded herself that these were just Narcissa's jokes.

They were both very young at that time, let alone love, even eating required supervision. These things were too much for them.

It should just be a reflection of a good relationship. Yes, that’s it!

Although she tried her best to hypnotize herself, Talina couldn't help but think about it more, and she covered her chest with her hands.

She always felt a phantom pain in a certain part of her body.

She didn't notice it when she was young, but when she grew up, Talina suddenly realized how wrong Narcissa's actions were when she was a child.

They hated Patsy who was nice to them, simply because Patsy could hug them and liked to stick to them, even wanting to hug each other when sleeping.

It's just that his hands and feet are a little dishonest.

Thinking about Narcissa's behavior during that period, Talina felt that she seemed to be serious.

How to do?

Do you want to continue looking?

With a bitter face, Talina didn't know whether she should look for it or not.

She wasn't sure if Narcissa was still as bold as before, or if she had other thoughts about her.

If this is true, then am I setting up a time bomb?

.........

The elevator was rising steadily. Saria and Parvis stood on either side, neither of them speaking.

The differences between them were so great that they could no longer pretend not to see them. If they continued like this, it would affect the functioning of Rhine's life.

The elevator climbed directly to the top floor, then stopped steadily, and the elevator door slowly opened.

In the distance, a slender figure with long golden hair was facing away from Saria, and it was unknown what he was doing.

The two of them were far away from each other, but Saria recognized her identity at a glance.

My classmate, close friend, and also one of the founders of Rhine Life.

"Commander-in-Chief, we're here."

Parvez stepped out first and spoke out.

Hearing the sound of a guest arriving, the blond figure stopped what he was doing, turned around, and his eyes passed over Parvis who was walking in front and fell on Saria.

"Long time no see, Saria, how are you doing recently?"

As usual when greeting someone, Kristen's expression was relaxed, as if her mood would improve just by seeing Saria.

Facing Kristen's greeting, Saria simply replied indifferently, "Thank you for your care, Commander."

As soon as the chief said this, the gentleness on Kristen's face completely disappeared, and was replaced by a businesslike attitude. She sat in her boss chair, with her left leg resting on her right leg and her hands on the armrests.

"What do you two need?"

Parvis, who was standing beside him, didn't care about Kristen's attitude. He adjusted his glasses with his hand and said, "The situation is like this, General..."

Parvis told Kristen everything that had just happened, not daring to hide anything.

Saria, the defense department member, is right next to him. She is not blind or dumb. If he dares to do anything, Saria will probably pin him to the ground in the next second.

"I understand everything."

After listening to Parvis's narration, Kristen picked up a pen from the table, held it between her fingers, and turned it slowly.

"Sareya, do you have any objection to what Director Parvez just said?"

"No."

Shaking her head, Saria had no objection.

Everything Parvez said was true, without a single lie.

After receiving Saria's affirmative answer, Christen's pen spinning movements became faster. Her fingertips moved flexibly, and the exquisitely shaped pen also left an afterimage.

"Then I don't think treatment needs to stop."

what? !

As soon as Kristen said this, Saria frowned.

Obviously, Kristen's answer was beyond her expectations.

"I'm not saying to stop treatment completely, but rather to re-evaluate and re-plan treatment plans based on safety."

As if she had anticipated Saria's reaction, Kristen unhurriedly put down the pen in her hand, resting her right elbow on the table lazily. "Let me confirm again. Director Parvez said that the patient's condition has definitely improved. Do you have any objection to this?"

"No..."

The tone of Saria's answer was no longer as firm as before.

Christine lowered her eyes, and after a brief silence, she raised them again.

"If it's useful, then it's good, Saria. You haven't forgotten why we're standing here, have you?"

"We are here because we all denounced the stagnation of scientific progress in Colombia and the corrupt people who hold the power to speak but prevent others from moving forward."

"You haven't forgotten these... have you?"

There was a smile on Kristen's face, but it was very unfamiliar to Saria.

Serena calmly put aside all the past events with Kristen. "The so-called scientific spirit requires the courage to seek knowledge, but also the careful process of argumentation. These..."

"You haven't forgotten, have you?!"

As she asked back, Saria's tone became heavier.

After hearing what Saria said, Kristen's face darkened.

"Besides, there's now evidence proving that the Hayden Pharmaceuticals accident was caused by Ifrit. This concerns the lives of all Ifrit and Rheinland employees. I believe we should proceed with caution!"

"Sareya... I remember you once said that we shouldn't let our emotions affect our rational judgment."

Looking directly at Saria, Kristen answered.

"My judgment is based on reason, without any personal emotion."

Christen smiled like a victorious fox. "So, is there any evidence that Ifrit's loss of control in Hayden's lab was caused by the stimulation of the experimental behavior?"

!!!

Looking at her old friend in disbelief, Saria couldn't believe that he could say such a thing.

But Kristen didn't show any unusual behavior. Instead, she took the opportunity to catch up with her: "What if her loss of control is caused by the worsening of her oripathy?"

"So isn't Director Parvez's treatment actually reducing the risk?"

Gritting her teeth, Saria clenched her fists tightly: "This is just your guess!"

"Yes, these are all speculations, so we need to continue to verify them."

Clapping her hands, Kristen looked up at her friend standing in front of her.

"Experimental treatments should continue."

"And with the headquarters security system you personally helped design, and with you in charge, even if Ifrit's Originium skills really went haywire on a large scale, you'd definitely be able to handle it..."

"Right?"

Volume 4: Chapter 104: Disagreement between Childhood Sweethearts

"Of course, this is my duty as the head of the defense department, but we cannot gamble with the safety of patients and the lives of our employees!"

"That shouldn't have happened!"

Looking at Christen, for some reason, Saria suddenly felt that the friend in front of her was extremely unfamiliar.

Once upon a time, they also enjoyed their future happily. Under the dim night, the girl, who had just woken up from a dream, was full of confidence and stepped into this turbid ocean, determined to find her own place in it.

Very smoothly, the two successfully established themselves in Colombia, and then...

Lopsided.

When was the last time I met Kristen?

Asking herself, Saria suddenly found that she couldn't find the answer.

She and Kristen hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the only communication between them was a few bland greetings, like strangers.

"Director Saria, please believe that we are not unprepared for this."

Just as Saria and Christen were silent, Parvis, who had been acting as a transparent person on the side, suddenly spoke up: "The Ifrit project is very important to us. It's a brand new approach to curing oripathy. If successful, chimeric therapy will be fully implemented, and oripathy will no longer be a terminal illness."

Christen was more than happy to hear someone speak up. This farce had taken up so much of her time that she was a little fed up with it, so she simply continued with what Parvis had said.

"Alright, that's the end of this matter. As for Director Parvez's complaint about Director Saria exceeding her authority and interfering with other departments, I hope Director Saria will trust Director Parvez's judgment as much as I do."

“Allow colleagues to work without interruption.”

"At the same time, I hope Director Parvez can understand. After all, this is the nature of Director Saria's department's work, and her concerns are not unfounded."

"But I think Director Parvez will be able to balance the risks and benefits."

Give each of them fifty lashes, Christen's way of handling it is very experienced.

Parvis seemed to be threatened, but in fact he did not suffer any substantial losses. Instead, it was Saria who was led into a dead end by Christen.

Just as Parvis said, under his treatment, Ifrit's condition did improve, and the only price he paid was pain.

Compared to life, this is nothing.

It's just that Saria had witnessed the suffering that Ifrit had endured, so she wanted the child to suffer less.

"Of course, of course. I will fully consider the information provided by Director Ceria to formulate a follow-up treatment plan to ensure the patient's safety."

Seeing that it was beneficial to him, Parvis took advantage of the situation and responded to Kristen's words.

Anyway, it's just some empty words. How to do it specifically depends on him, the person in charge.

"Director Saria, do you think this is okay?"

Returning to her seat, Christine crossed her legs, her impatience evident in her words.

Saria didn't answer, but her silence said it all.

The outcome of the matter has been settled, and there is no point in staying any longer. Parvis said goodbye to Saria and Christen and left.

He is still busy dealing with the follow-up of this incident and has no time to waste here.

As soon as Parvis moved, Saria was ready to leave as well. Christen was too strange now, as strange as an outsider.

But before Saria could take a few steps, Kristen suddenly called her.

"By the way, the mayor sent a thank-you letter."

Taking out a beautifully wrapped envelope from the drawer, Kristen placed it on the table and pushed it in front of Saria: "This mission was completed very well. This is all thanks to you."

"The rescue was not a success, and there are still many doubts that need to be investigated."

Turning around and looking at the letter pressed under Christine's slender fingertips, the gold-embossed signature was so dazzling.

"Also, it's very likely that the Hayden Laboratory conducted illegal experiments. It's not the time to talk about credit yet."

Standing in place, Saria told Kristen the information she had learned.

"Muirseth has already reported these things to me, but the mayor's only request is for rescue."

Kristen's answer, while banging on the table, made Saria's heart skip a beat.
