Chapter 1298


    With his colleagues'' persuasion and Austin''s approaching voice, Devon finally let go.


    As soon as he released his grip, fresh air quickly rushed into Thompson''s lungs. He gasped heavily as


    he clutched his chest. His legs felt weak. He barely held himself up, but he did not want to sumb to


    Devon.


    "Professor Thompson, don''t say I didn''t warn you. Your time is running out! If this experiment fails, no


    matter how hard headed you are, you can’t defend the fact that medicinal herbs are simply garbage!"


    Devon let out a snort and said, “Let''s go!"


    Several people walked out of the room, leaving Thompson alone.


    Just as Austin was about to head downstairs after not finding anyone, he saw a figureing out from


    the corner of the stairwell.


    The figure was staggering, with one hand supporting the wall while the other was around their throat.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "Professor Thompson!’ Austin recognized the silhouette at a nce and strode over. "I''ve been looking


    for you! I have something I want to discuss with you. I''ve looked through the experiment, and after


    careful consideration, I don''t think it''s impossible.


    "What about this? You hand this experiment over to me, and I guarantee that I''ll finish it and that it will


    be better than how Lily would''ve done it. If she can''t do it, it doesn''t mean I can''t."


    Thompson was still recovering from being suffocated and trying to get his strength back. Austin


    sounded like chattering noises in the distance.


    Once Thompson felt better, he stopped and turned to look at Austin with furrowed brows. "What did you


    say?"


    "I said, you can leave this experiment in my hands. I''ll do better than Lily!"


    "You?!" Thompson questioned.


    "Professor Thompson, I might not be as good at makingmercial scents as Lily, but I''m sure I''m a


    hundred times better at making medicines out of herbs than she is. Although it’s essential to


    incorporate raw materials into our experiment, the main selling point is the medicinal properties of the


    herbs, isn''t it?


    "As far as I know, the main reason for the failure of the current experiment is that the medicinal


    properties are unstable. It is either too much of it or too little of it. This is where Ie in!"


    Even though he had little hands-on experience, he had read all the reports in theb and found that


    most of the experiments had failed at the end because the medicinal herbs were too unstable. It should


    not be that difficult to solve.


    After so many years of studies and research on medicinal herbs, wasn''t this the best time to showcase


    his skills?


    As for the fusion of scents, Austin would ask some perfumers for advice. Even if he had to search the


    entire country, he was confident he could find a perfumer more skilled than Lily.


    Thompson was silent. Deep down, he still hoped Lily would return toplete this experiment.


    However, she refused repeatedly, and each rejection meant more time wasted. He couldn''t afford it


    anymore.


    On top of that, what Austin said seemed reasonable. Thompson still thought Austin was Dominic''s


    secret apprentice at the end of the day. He was better than Lily at medicinal herbs, that was for sure.


    Although it was not easy to fuse fragrance into medicinal herbs, the stability of the medicinal properties


    of herbs was more critical.


    "Then..." He slowly looked up with uncertainty. "Do you want to try?’
