Chapter 750 Not Someone You Can Cross
“What are you trying to do? Are you trying to take my mentor away? How dare you do that?” Arius cried
out, leaping to his feet.
What kind of joke is this?
Keegan Hunt had forced him to return by threatening Barney''s mother, but now, he even wanted to lock
Barney up.
There was no way they were going to let that happen now that they were there.
“Barney, your mother is old now, isn''t she?” Keegan questioned.
Barney was only back because Keegan had taken his mother. Hence, they were certain that Barney
would not dare to pull any reckless moves.
“If it weren''t for your many contributions to the medical association, I wouldn''t have given you so many
chances,” Keegan uttered with a sneer.
Death was the only thing that awaited traitors.
He had given Barney many chances and choices. All that was left was for Barney to make the right
choice.
Sophie barked out augh.
“Don''t worry, Dr. Smith. I''ve asked my men to rescue your mother,” she reassured. She had not been
sitting around ever since she arrived in the country.
Moreover, she had connections in Anndur too.
Otherwise, she could have possibly wasted her time all these years.
Rescuing someone was a piece of cake for her.
When Keegan heard her words, he narrowed his eyes.
“Are you Sophie Tanner, the girl who dealt with the virus?” Keegan questioned, his eyes bright.
He had heard about the medical prodigy in Chanaea, but he never thought that she would be such a
pretty young woman.
However, Sophie continued to look at him as if he was nothing but a lowly ant.
Sure enough, she waspletely disinterested in someone like Keegan.
Things would have been fine if everyone just went their own ways. That would be the choices they
made, anyway.
Yet, Keegan just had to force Barney back with petty methods like these.
“Youngdy, I know you''re a capable one. What about this? Join our International Medical Association.
No matter what you want, we''ll agree to it,” Keegan told her, extremely interested in recruiting geniuses
into the organization.
By recruiting various kinds of prodigies, Anndur would be able to emerge as a superpower.
That was his wish—for Anndur to dominate the world.
Hence, he felt that everything he did would be forgivable.
“I''m sorry, but I''m not interested in your International Medical Association at all,” Sophie replied before
taking out a piece of gum and popping it into her mouth.
Those who knew her would know that she only chewed gum when she was in a bad mood.
Therefore, her action was a clear indicator of how her patience had reached its limit.
Keegan chuckled.
“Ms. Tanner, I am sincerely offering you the chance to join us. As long as you join us, we can give you
a limitless budget. That is something Chanaea can never do.” Anndur''s a rich country, and those
who do research will always need funds, right?
Barney was hoping to keep Sophie a secret from others, but evidently, those people had already done
their research on her.
Sophie scoffed.
“Sorry, but I''m rich too.” Furthermore, Chanaea was putting more of its focus on research nowadays.
In other words, budget was not an issue for her.
“Mr. Hunt, there''s no need for us to waste our breaths on them. They''ve chosen the path of a traitor,
and it''s impossible for them to make a different choice.” Remus did not want to give those people any
chances to return to the organization. If they did return, his position in International Medical Association
would no longer be as important.
That was something he would never let happen.
Barney nced at him.
“Dr. Smith, I''ve always been grateful for your guidance, but I simply cannot understand why you''ve
chosen to be a traitor,” Remus uttered.
Arius sneered. Look at this. Remus can''t hold himself back anymore. He''s terrified of using back!
“Remus, what are you talking about? What do you mean by a traitor? There aren''t borders for
medicine. As long as a person can do their research well and contribute to humankind, then all is good.
How could you say that I''m a traitor, then?”
How many things have I done for Anndur? How can they turn their backs just like this?
“There aren''t borders to medicine, but the researchers of medicine have nationalities,” Keegan said. “I
want you to work for Anndur.”
Keegan was never one for noble aims.
Thus, he did not care if others live or die.
“Dr. Smith, you don''t need to say that much to them. These people aren''t humans; they''re animals!”
Arius curtly uttered.
He was long sick of their behavior.
It was a little better in the past, but now that Barney was leaving, they had given up on pretending to be
civil.
It was disgusting.
“Arius, I''m going to give you onest chance. If you''re willing toe back, we''ll dismiss everything
that happened before,” Keegan repeated.
“Sorry, but I''ll nevere back.” Even if Barney died that day, he was not going to stay.
Those people were revolting to him.
Keegan''s expression was as dark as thunder.
“What in the world are you thinking about? Are the terms I''ve given to you not good enough? No matter
what you need, I''ll support you, but you''re leaving?” How can they do this? They''re betraying my trust!
“Mr. Hunt, let''s just lock them up,” Remus suggested. He did not want Barney and the others to go back
on their words.

“Take these three away! No one''s allowed toe close to them without my permission,” Keegan
instructed. He still wanted to keep those three prodigies.
Although he still did not understand Sophie that well, someone who could resolve the gic virus was
the talented individual they were looking for.
“Dr. Smith, pleasee with us,” Keegan''s subordinate said.
Not wanting to waste any more of her breath, Sophie pulled out a gun and snatched Keegan over to
her. Then, she pressed the muzzle against Keegan''s head.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and no one could react in time.
“Mr. Hunt!”
Once Keegan''s subordinates realized what was going on, they drastically paled. They could not believe
that the pretty youngdy would be so swift with her actions.
In fact, they could barely reel in from the shock.
“Why are you still spewing nonsense? Can you be quick?” Sophie hated wishy-washy people.
It was not a great feeling to have a gun pointed at one''s head. Arius took out his gun as well.
All they needed to do was leave the ce. Sophie had already made arrangements for people to pick
them up.
“Mr. Hunt, didn''t I warn you about this? I told you not to cross her because she''s definitely not someone
you can afford to cross,” Arius mockingly told him.
