During his lecture, his thoughts kept drifting to those jerks from the medical organization. To him, their presence was a p in the face. He tossed the chalk into the tray with a sharp tone, "That''s it for today''s lesson!"


    The students below were secretly thrilled, grabbing their bags and ready to bolt. But then, Jules''s ominous voice echoed through the room. "Self-study time. ss president, take attendance. No one leaves before the bell rings, or don''t bother showing up for the final exam!"


    After this deration, Jules stormed out, leaving behind a group of dismayed students.


    Upon exiting, he saw Mr. Richard leading a group from the medical organization around the campus. Both men wore insincere smiles, and they were followed by a couple of journalists with cameras. Jules''s face darkened, and he turned to walk in the opposite direction.


    "Mr. Richard, we''ve pretty much seen the whole campus. How about we check out theb?" Mr. Atticus suggested with a smile.


    Mr. Richard was reluctant. He knew Mr. Atticus''s suggestion to visit theb had ulterior motives, but in front of the cameras, he kept up his friendly demeanor and led them to theboratory, discreetly messaging Dr. Ray.


    Dr. Ray, aware of their impending visit, was annoyed. He knew all too well what kind of person Mr. Atticus was.


    He informed Shawn and the others about the visit, advising them to act normal and not too eager, to keep their dignity intact.


    "Got it."


    The seniors nodded, their expressions unchanged.


    Except for Alexa, who was excitedly fixing her appearance. This was her first encounter with people from the medical organization, and she wanted to impress them. Maybe it could be her ticket out of this ce.


    Flora, expressionless, recorded the experimental data. The mention of the medical organization made her gaze grow cold.


    Fifteen minutester, Mr. Richard arrived with the medical organization. At that moment, Flora had just gone to the storeroom to fetch new equipment for the experiment.


    Dr. Ray greeted them warmly,


    despite his distaste for the


    organization. "Ah, you must be Dr. Ray. I''ve heard so much about you," Mr. Atticus said with a smile. "Khope our sudden visit isn''t too much of an intrusion."


    Knowing it''s an intrusion, yet you stille?


    Dr. Ray found Mr. Atticus''s hypocrisy unbearable, managing a dryugh, "You''re too kind, Mr. Atticus."


    Mr. Atticus''s smile was gentle.


    "We''ve heard the University of Maple Grove''sboratory is state-of-the-art, funded geherously. We''re here today on a rare visit and would love to see the equipment. We won''t touch anything, of course."


    "There''s no inconvenience at all. Feel free to look around," Dr. Ray, known for his short temper, was quickly irritated by Mr. Atticus. If not for the presence of journalists, he might have been more confrontational.


    Mr. Atticus enjoyed provoking Dr. Ray, relishing in his inability to retaliate. ncing at Shawn and the others, he turned to the members of the medical organization, "Dr. Ray is a leading figure in Austenberg medicine. His students are among the finest doctors. Take this opportunity to learn from them, ask questions while you can."


    "Understood."


    The disciples of the medical organization responded in unison, their smiles somewhat sinister.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
