Chapter 1788


    However, at this moment, the short figure seemed to realize this and quickly turned around.


    "How was it this time?" His voice was sharp and piercing.


    His sudden turn made the shadow stop, and their hand hung mid-air. After a pause, the shadow


    replied, "It has improved from thest time."


    "Hmph!" After snorting twice, the short manughed. "You say that every time, but I haven''t seen an


    improvement until today. Sometimes, I wonder if my illness is too hard to cure or if you’re just too


    stupid!"


    The dark shadow did not try to defend themselves whenughed at so rudely. Instead, they just


    lowered their head.


    ncing at the shadow coldly, the man turned around and shrugged off his cloth, exposing one arm.


    "There!"


    The man snorted as the ck shadow stepped forward to disinfect his arm before sticking the needle


    in.


    As the liquid was injected into the man''s body, he kept a calm, slightly frowning face. A secondter,


    the syringe was pulled out.


    "Huff…" He sighed with relief, stood up, and put his sleeves back on without any haste.


    Seeing the ck shadow turn around to pack their things, the man sat back in his chair and curled up


    his lips. "Lily will being here tomorrow morning to join us in the department! Are you afraid?"


    The ck shadow turned and paused momentarily before returning to what they were doing. Then, the


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    shadow''s voice was filled with indifference and disdain. "Although I don''t understand why the


    organization is so desperate to get her, I still respect the organization''s decision."


    "Are you displeased?" The man raised his eyebrows and asked with a smirk. "But you didn''t showcase


    your skill to prove you were better than her."


    "I thought the finished product I contributed was enough to let the organization believe in my ability.


    Boss, you know I’m more loyal to this organization than anybody else." The shadow turned around, and


    the light hit half her body.


    "Loyalty is useless without skills! Loyalty is intangible and the least valuable thing to have!" He shook


    his head and continued disapprovingly, "The most important thing here is one''s strength and ability!


    You should know that!"


    "I do, but I just don''t think Lily is more capable than me!" The shadow raised its chin slightly, not


    admitting defeat.


    "She isn''t as capable as you?" The man smiled, rubbing his chin gently with one hand. "But she found


    the counter to the viruses you''ve created. I heard that the gue in Burnwken didn’t spread to


    Hydend due to the antidote she developed."


    "The reason why it didn''t spread in Hydend is that it’s kept under control. The news spread quickly,


    and not much panic happened. To attribute all this to Lily is to think too highly of her." The shadow


    hummed, very disdainful.


    "Indeed, it''s not entirely her, but she did find a way to counter the virus you''ve been developing for


    years in just over a month. Isn''t that right?" The man leaned back and rested his hands on the armrest.


    Then, he sighed and said, "The organization did think of keeping you, but your performance has been


    too disappointing.


    “The integration is not good enough, and thetest version is still unsessful. Up until now, I''ve been


    taking the bullets for you. You even had to fake your death to get out. Tell me, why should the


    organization keep you? How will you convince me that you''re better than Lily?"


    After a pause, his eyes fluttered, and he looked at her gloomy face. "Isn''t that right, Rhea?"


    In the halo of yellow light, Rhea looked sinister and strange.
