“Mr. Chambers, this is the latest batch of Forest Elves Coffee, air–freighted in just this morning Care to

give it a try?”

The woman’s slender, pale hands moved with practiced grace over the coffee tray, her barista skills a

pleasing sight to the eyes.

Soon, a freshly brewed cup of coffee was gently pushed towards Avery

The aroma wafted through the air, veiled in a misty haze, and the woman named Alexia had a face

both radiant and cool, her contradictory features somehow blended harmoniously Her skin was as

flawless as the finest porcelain

Indeed, those in this man’s company were always the cream of the crop, carefully cultivated.

Anyone problematic would have already been cleanly erased from this world

“Thank you, Ms. Alexia,” said Avery, lifting the cup without removing his intense gaze from her face

She had the air of someone he knew

Someone he had loved for a long time, someone he held dear.

“Mr. Chambers, why do you look at me so? Is there something on my face?” Alexia inquired with a light

smile

“No, my apologies, Avery quickly averted his gaze, pupils constricting.

Behind the curtain, the man chuckled. “Alexia, you’re too beautiful, that’s all. Everyone has a weakness

for beauty. Mr. Chambers, how does Alexia compare to Evadne?”

Avery felt a tightness in his chest, responding carefully, Tm sorry, sir. Ms Alexia is indeed charming, but

Evadne is the love of my life. To me, she is unparalleled in beauty, irreplaceable!

The man sipped his coffee, laughing softly. “Such devotion world well lost”

But, M.

Mr. Chambers, surely you’ve heard the saying. All for love, and the

confrontation aboard the plane, his heart still aching.

“Let it be lost then” Avery cl

chuckled bitterly, recalling the intense cor

“Huh, such unlucky words are best left unsaid, Mr. Chambers. Be careful, lest they come true. If you

were truly to be ruined by Ms. Evadne, I don’t know if she would suffer, but my boss would certainly be

devastated Without you, he would lose a right–hand man, and how would the Helgen business carry

on? Finding another speaker as outstanding as you, Mr. Chambers, would be no easy task

Alexia smiled sweetly, a shadow flickering in her eyes, “Ms. Evadne is not only a paragon among

women, but she also has men like you and Mr. Thaddeus bending over backwards for her. She is the

untouchable rose high on the mountain. This only heightens my anticipation to meet Mr. Chambers

dream lover again”

The man laughed. “Don’t worry, there will come a time for you to meet her.

Avery paused with his cup at his lips, casting a suspicious glance at her.

Again?

Had Alexia met Evadne before?

Impossible

Since he had known her, she had always been by the man’s side, never having set foot in the country

let alone having any

interaction.

Alexia rose to stand beside the man, moving behind him to massage his shoulders tenderly

“Sir, when do you plan to return to Elmsworth?”

Avery’s gaze turned icy, “With Elspeth no longer in play, Thaddeus now towers over the Abernathy

Group unchallenged, with no one left to balance him I fear Mr. Frederic, out of quilt towards them and

under Mr. Hamilton’s pressure, might once again yield authority to Thaddeus Wouldn’t that make him

unstoppable within the Abernathy Group?”

“Chess” the man’s voice was casual as he moved a piece on the board.

Avery bit his lip, about to make his move when the man spoke again with a smile, “Mr. Chambers, you

seem so eager for my return, is it for my benefit, or to add another ally, another chip to your game? Are

you hoping to use me to trip up Thaddeus and win Ms. Evadne?

“No, sir, my loyalty is to you alone!” Avery’s suit soaked with cold sweat as he professed his fidelity

“Helping you isn’t an issue. But I’ve helped you many times, yet there has been no progress between

you and Ms. Evadne, only pushing her further away. You must rely on yourself, depending on others is

ask for a certain medicine from me before, Mr. Chambers? Haven’t you used it yet?”

Alexsa blinked, seemingly concerned, “If you find it ineffective, our lab has developed a new, more

potent drug I believe if used on Ms Evadne, she would become completely compliant. Even matters of

the heart can take shortcuts

Avery’s brow furrowed, gripping the coffee cup tightly

“Alright, Alexia, stop teasing Mr. Chambers,” the man said, returning to the matter at hand. “The

dad0044 medication has officially entered the testing phase, but we’ve encountered a small issue”

Avery sat up straight, “Please, tell me

The research institute has invested incalculable funds and manpower in the development of this drug,

aiming to lead the world in curing Parkinson’s disease it dad0044 proves successful, it will be a historic

milestone in medicine, with whopping profits”

The breeze stirred the curtains as the man’s voice remained pleasant, “When that time comes, all the

major families will be beneath me, even purchasing the entire Abernathy Group will be effortless“.

Avery’s eyes shone, leaning forward. “Sic given the link between Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, could

dad0044 possibly cure Alzheimer’s as well?”

The man nodded, seeing through his thoughts, Once dad00-44’s research is successful, curing your

mother’s illness will be within teach”

Avery thought of his mother’s long suffering from the disease, now finally glimpsing hope, and his voice

trembled with emotion. “Sir, command me as you will, I shall go through anything in your service

Lounging back with a leisurely sip of his black coffee, Alex sprawled in the armchair while Avery took

the lead in the conversation “We’ve got the latest intel. The Bright Group back home is developing a

similar drug and they’re slightly ahead of

“We’ve tried infiltrating their ranks multiple times to extract their research data, but to no avail. It we

keep dragging our feet, it’ll mess up the boss’s plan. What’s worse, they’ve got state backing if they

beat us to the punch, launching this drug into the market, all of the boss’s efforts will be for naught, and

the losses will be devastating”

Avery’s brows furrowed deeply. “So Sir, you want me to hinder The Bright Group’s drug development?

With all due respect, if you can’t do it, how can I possibly.”

“I need you to push our experiment forward, the man’s voice suddenly turned sharp, devoid of any

mirth. “No matter what, dad0044 has to see the light of day before The Bright Group’s version”

Alexia leaned forward, picking up a box from the table and placing it in front of Avery

“To get a drug on the market, it needs to go through countless tests followed by clinical trials. This

process can very least, and if unsuccessful, it could stretch to three or even five years.”

With a cold glare, Alexia continued, “What Sir means is that he wants you to take these drugs back and

test them directly on living subjects”

“Human trials?” Avery gasped, his throat constricting as if gripped by a giant hand.

“Mr. Chambers, you’re not getting cold feet, are you?” Alexia sneered. I’m well aware of the things

you’ve done in Helgen. Now, it’s just about making a few sacrifices for a cause that will benefit

generations to come. Can’t you stomach it, Mr. Chambers?”

Avery’s gaze pierced through the woman’s mocking and disdainful expression.

No, she was nothing like Evadne. Evadne was the sole light in his shadowy existence, a beautiful

butterfly fitting through his icy abyss of a world.

Evadne was his angel. Alexia was merely a pretty, obedient, and coldly efficient tool found by the boss.

“Alexia, don’t say that. After all, human life is sacred, and it’s only right for Mr. Chambers to have his

reservations,” the man said with a warm smile, though an undercurrent of intimidation was palpable.

Avery’s breath deepened, his voice low I will accomplish the task you’ve given me, sir.”

“Appreciate it, Mr. Chambers. Once you commence the trials, you’ll need people to document the data

and monitor the subjects reactions. Alexia will send you the specifics in the next couple of days,” the

man said, his smile growing more satisfied by Avery’s response

“Sir, if I may ask, are there any side effects to dad0044? Avery adjusted his glasses, cautious.

“Psychotic episodes, seizures–those are the evident ones. We’re still observing the latent effects.”

Alexia tapped her chin thoughtfully “Well, it’s roughly similar to a drug addict going through withdrawal

Avery’s hands, resting on his lap slowly clenched “Sir, forgive my boldness, but why not conduct the

experiments abroad? The regulations are less stingent than at me, and as you know, my current

“The headquarters are here, and I don’t want any complications on my own turf to disrupt my plans.

Having you conduct the tests back home is about creating a fallback”

“A fallback?

“If necessary, we can pin the troubles on the Bright Group”

Avery sharp as ever, quickly grasped the implication

“The test subjecti Ive already found them for you. The side effects of dad0044 are incredibly similar to a

drug addict’s withdrawal if it’s injected into regular drug users, it can easily be mistaken for just another

episode, avoiding official suspicion”

Avery nodded finally understanding “Thank you for your guidance, sar

Well played, Mr Chambers?

Alexia’s gaze lingered on the face that bore an uncanny resemblance to Evadne’s, a shadow of malice

fleeting across her eyes.
