Chapter 352 The Arbotte Laboratory
The usually quiet and meticulous Arbotte Laboratory suddenly became a hub of activity. It was a world-
renowned research facility.
While it was just aboratory, its research projects garnered global attention. Many countries coveted the
opportunity to coborate with this facility. Despite its small size, consisting of only a dozen members,
each was a globally recognized genius in their field.
Theboratory primarily focused on cutting-edge technology, excelling in physics and chemistry
research. Every research achievement from theboratory had the potential to change the world.
However, thisboratory was shrouded in mystery; little was known about its members or location.
The only means to obtain information about theboratory was through two channels. The first was to
monitor the sporadic updates on the Arbotte Laboratory’s website, which sometimes went without new
details for the entire year.
The second option was to obtain information through the ck market, but Arbotte Laboratory’s
information was notoriously expensive and required significant sacrifices. As everyone knows, anything
can be a currency if it holds value in the ck market!
No one expected this world-renowned and enigmaticboratory to be hidden within the bustling
neighborhood of Oceanvile.
Amidst the dpidated old city, with itsbyrinthine alleys, an unremarkable residential building from the
1990s stood. At first nce, it appeared ordinary, amon sight in this aging city. Two slender
teenagers were standing and whispering to each other outside the building,
“Rodge Milton, do you think the chief wille?” Scott Theo asked innocently, looking at Rodge with
anticipation.
Rodge was on the verge of being driven crazy by the constant chatter. While he was also excited about
the chief’s arrival, he couldn’t stand the continuous talking.
He gave Scott a cold nce and said, ” Brat, shut your mouth. Be careful; she might cut off your tongue
when the chief arrives. The chief doesn’t like talkative people!”
Scott was frightened and immediately fell silent. In his eyes, the chief was his idol, and he was a simple
person. He admired whoever was more potent than him.
As for the chief, he did not doubt that she was far more powerful than anyone he had ever met. She was
his ultimate role model.
Therefore, the chief had to be his only idol. Rodge checked the time as their meeting with the chief was
approaching. His heart raced with excitement. He had been aboratory member for three years, and
this would be his first encounter with the chief.

He couldn’t help but feel thrilled. After all, the chief was a genius and a visionary leader. As he eagerly
anticipated her arrival, his heart soared.
Just as he had finished admonishing Scott, he saw a slender figure dressed in ck approaching from a
short distance away.
Rodge was momentarily stunned. She had to be the chief just by judging her overwhelming aura. How
could an ordinary person possess such a powerful presence?
Scott, who was next to him, widened his eyes and couldn’t find words to speak. He could only grasp
Rodge’s hand and shake it eagerly.
Rodge was nearly infuriated by this annoying kid. He was the youngest science champion in Halleywick,
yet hecked this muchposure. Catherine walked up to the two of them. They were still pushing and
shoving each other, but they stopped when she cleared her throat.
Rodge immediately stood up straight, his demeanor much more respectful. He cautiously spoke, “Excuse
me, are you the chief?”
Catherine replied in a soft voice, ” Hello, Rodge.”
It was a charming feminine voice, and she sounded pretty young. Rodge was stunned. When the chief
contacted them, she always used a voice modtor. So, apart from their team leader, nobody knew if the
chief was male or female, old or young.
Rodge had considered that the chief might be an older man with a full beard or a middle-aged man with
extraordinary charisma After all reaching the height of leadership required a lot of time and experience.
However, he never would have imagined that the chief was a woman. Moreover, she was a very young
woman based on her voice. Rodge hadn’t had a chance to look at Catherine yet, as her face was mostly
hidden under a cap, and he dared not to stare at her closely.
On the other hand, Scott, who was even younger than Rodge, was excited to the point of losing his
composure. If it weren’t for Rodge instinctively holding him back, he would have thrown himself into
Catherine’s arms.
“Chief, I’m Scott. Do you remember me?” said Scott. Catherine nced at the young boy, who looked
even younger than Rodge. Scott had an adorable cherubic face.
His eyes would crinkle when he smiled, giving him an endearing and friendly appearance. She
recognized him, a young physics genius who joined theb over a year ago.
He was still rtively young but had made significant contributions to physics research. She nodded
slightly, “I read your paperst month, and your arguments were well done.”
“Really?” Scott was overjoyed. He beamed at Catherine. “Chief, you’re so kind, praising me like this!”
Rodge, on the other hand, was worried that Scott’s thoughtlessness might offend Catherine. He tried to
guide the conversation and said, “Chief, shall we go inside theb first?”
Catherine gave a slight nod, and Rodge led the way. They entered the core of theboratory, a room that
appeared quite ordinary and furnished.
But when Rodge nced at the decorations near the entrance, the originally whitewashed walls
suddenly began to move aside.
A hidden high-techboratory tunnel slowly revealed itself. The decorations had iris recognition devices,
allowing onlyb members to open the mysterious door and ess theboratory’s interior.
However, this door was just the first obstacle. There were many more mechanisms inside to ensure the
lab’s security.
For outsiders, entering theb was practically as difficult as reaching the heavens. Rodge escorted
Catherine to the innermost part of theboratory, the core area.
“Chief, please have a seat. I’ll retrieve the data for you,” said Rodge. Catherine showed no courtesy as
she walked over to a nearby sofa and plopped down, adopting a casual and unreserved posture, exuding
the air of a big shot.
On the other hand, Scott looked like an enamored fan. He rested his chin on his hand and gazed in
fascination in Catherine’s direction.
No matter how he looked at his idol, he felt that she was incredibly beautiful. Their chief hade in
person, and Rodge couldn’t afford to bex. He promptly prepared the data and handed it over to
Catherine.
“Chief, here are the results of our current research phase. The initial findings are already avable.
Please review and let us know if you’d like to proceed with the second phase of experiments,” said
Rodge.
As he handed the documents to Catherine, Rodge inadvertently looked up.
He was frozen in shock and his mouth agape, as if he had encountered something immensely startling.
