Chapter 1544
The Jellyfish Sealy nearby, untouched, as she seemed uninterested in giving it more than a cursory
nce.
The room fell into a hush, and Philip couldn''t quite get a read on what was going through her head.
He''d never been able to fully understand her.
The woman picked up the mug of tea from the table and took a sip, a small smile ying at the corners
of her lips.
"What about that girl you mentioned before? You know, Cynthia''s daughter?"
"She''s still alive."
The woman raised an eyebrow. If Philip had taken action, that girl shouldn''t be alive, she thought.
"It seems you gave her a chance to live."
"Just killing her would''ve been too boring."
He wanted to turn her into livestock for experimentation, like the subjects in the observation room.
His initial intention to bring Maja back to the BK was just that.
Let her taste the sweet life of being a leader, gain her trust, and then bring her to the research facility.
Then she''d be like ab rat,pletely at their mercy.
But he had been careless. To his surprise, when presented with the position of leader, Maja hadn''t
been tempted. Instead, she was fixated on how to stay side by side with Ian.
Ridiculous.
When he found out she was on Forbidden Ind, he stopped holding back. But Dn and Abner''s
support came too quickly, and with Quentin causing chaos, he failed to get his way and had to retreat,
consequently blowing his cover.
The woman, still eyeing her mug, gestured dismissively, "I''m tired. You all can leave now."
Philip and Phil stood up and made their way to the door, but her voice stopped them.
"There''s a rmendationing up for a chair position. Philip, prepare some documentation. I''m
considering putting you forward."
There were twenty chairs in the research facility, each responsible for liaising with the core internal
members.
Philip had been at the facility for years and had ess to the core members, but there was a strict
nomination process that rarely allowed for advancement. Now, he finally had his chance.
Bing a chair meant he could freely use the pills developed by the research facility, no longer
restricted by the previous quotas.
A smirk curled on his lips. With all those lethal pills at his disposal, it would be easy to feed one to Maja
or Ian, ensuring their untimely and disgraceful demise.
He left in high spirits, "Understood, I''ll draft the documents right away."
As soon as the door closed, Philip retreated to his own room.
It was a suite he and Phil had secured through the women - their designated ce whenever they
returned to the facility.
Phil, returning to his room, carefully unpacked leaves he had collected from the outside.
Opening a ss cab, he admired the variety of leaves he had turned into specimens over the
years. Every time he found a uniquely shaped leaf, he would preserve it and add it to his collection.
It was a habit he started ten years ago. Having spent most of his life trailing behind Philip, he rarely had

time to himself.
At five, he''d met Philip and seen the sky for the first time - apletely foreign concept to him. He was
mesmerized and couldn''t move.
Back at the facility, he only saw ss panes and doctors in white coats.
Phil smiled as he looked at the wall filled with his collection of leaves.
The door opened and Philip stepped in, his eyebrow arching slightly at the sight of the leaves.
"You brought back more leaves?"
"Yeah."
"Why collect these?" Co?tent of Dr?manovеls
"I really like them."
When Phil imitated Philip, he was articte and clear, but when he was himself, his reactions slowed.
He seldom allowed himself to be Phil, only reverting to his true self within the walls of the facility.
Outside, he subconsciously imitated Philip as if that was the only way he could interact with people
normally.
