Chapter 389: Chapter 389

An Yan slightly furrowed her brow. The enemy of my enemy is a friend. Should I take this person away later?

No, stop this savior complex!

An Yan promptly dismissed the idea.

I don’t want to complicate things further!

No matter who he is, good or bad, what does it have to do with me? My target is Matsumoto Mina.

After Matsumoto Yuki received news that such an important test subject was about to starve to death, his only option would be to find Matsumoto Mina, right?

And Matsumoto Mina intentionally neglecting such an important test subject likely means she wants to use this as leverage to regain control, doesn’t it?

Now that her objective is achieved, Matsumoto Mina will undoubtedly leave her residence without hesitation and come to the island to negotiate, right?

As long as she comes, the plan to lure the tiger from the mountain will succeed.

The warm yellow light shone on the wooden floor.

A potted plant unfurled its glossy leaves in the light.

Matsumoto Mina, clad in a blue gown, was pressed against the glass, obsessively watching the man below who was as handsome as a sculpture!

The research institute was off-limits, and the materials promised by the Guiyi Faction would take at least a couple of days to arrive.

She enjoyed an unusual moment of leisure.

"Brother Nine, this is actually quite nice. I can stay here and keep you company forever!"

A dreamy smile appeared on her face! For more chapters visıt NoveIＦire.net

"When will you truly wake up? If I’m the first thing you see when you open your eyes, will you fall in love with me then?"

"In this life, I’m not a plastic surgery freak anymore! My face and body, from head to toe, are all original!"

"Brother Nine, do you want to feel it?"

She pressed her hand against the glass, imagining the man opening his eyes and tenderly touching her palm.

The vibration of her phone interrupted her fantasy!

Matsumoto Yuki’s voice came through, "Meina, your Undying Worm is about to starve. I told you, this is just a temporary measure for now. As soon as you have a new achievement, you can return to the Matsumoto Group openly and legitimately."

"Stop being stubborn and send over its food immediately!"

Matsumoto Mina’s lips curled, her gaze still fixated on Li Tianyao below.

"If Father doesn’t want that worm to die, then go convince Saori. Make her realize who is truly indispensable in the Matsumoto Group!"

"If Father finds it troublesome, then forget it! It’s just a worm; if it dies, it dies."

After all, I’ll have new materials soon!

The things I want, I’ll have them back before long!

If Matsumoto Yuki still sides with Saori by then, I wouldn’t mind letting him end up with nothing!

Matsumoto Yuki paused for over ten seconds on the other end before saying, "Fine! I will definitely convince Saori. You shouldn’t delay any further; start heading here immediately!"

Matsumoto Mina laughed triumphantly, "I have one more condition. I want Matsumoto Saori to meet me at the dock!"

I’ll reclaim all the dignity I lost.

I’ll make Matsumoto Saori bow down to me, Matsumoto Mina, in front of everyone!

I will take back control of the research institute!

Only after hearing the other party’s consent did Matsumoto Mina hang up the phone, satisfied.

After putting down the phone, she lovingly pressed herself against the glass again.

"Brother Nine, I have to go out for a bit. You be good at home, okay?"

After speaking, she got up, changed the glass back to the color of the wooden board, and then laid the carpet back down.

Below, Li Tianyao, whose eyes had been closed the whole time, slowly opened them.

「Basement level eight.」

Kirihara Ichiro finally regained consciousness, only to realize he had fallen asleep against the wall.

It’s all Matsumoto Takuma’s fault! He wouldn’t let me do my research and insisted on sending me to guard this door.

What’s so interesting about watching a door!

Besides the staff, who would even want to come down here!

Those big shots upstairs only care about making money. They won’t spare us a second glance until we produce results.

As for the incident where he had run into Matsumoto Saori here before, he couldn’t recall a single detail.

Seeing Kirihara Ichiro’s return, sympathy showed on everyone’s faces in the group.

Kirihara Ichiro didn’t understand their sympathy until he saw his motionless pet insect. Then, he realized what was wrong and exclaimed, "Contact Miss Meina! The bug is starving; it hasn’t eaten in days!"

"Keep your cool, Kirihara. Miss Meina will be here soon."

Matsumoto Mina arrived on the island two hours later. As per her request, Matsumoto Saori personally went to the dock to pick her up.

Saori even apologized to her in front of everyone, hoping she would continue with her research work for the sake of the Matsumoto Group.

"What about the Deputy Director’s position?" Matsumoto Mina didn’t hide her intentions and directly asked for it.

Matsumoto Saori’s face immediately darkened, "Allowing you to take charge of the research work is already..."

"COUGH!" Matsumoto Yuki coughed.

Matsumoto Saori quieted down and turned her head without a word.

Matsumoto Yuki said, "Meina, we’ve discussed this. You’ll still be in charge of your previous work, with all your authority intact, but the position of Deputy Director can’t be given to you just yet."

"Fine. Then it’s as if I’ve come here for nothing." Matsumoto Mina turned to leave.

Matsumoto Yuki immediately looked at Saori, who reluctantly said, "The reason it can’t be given to you yet is due to current public opinion. Once you revive that bug, I can give you the Deputy Director’s position!"

"Yes, I mean it!" Matsumoto Saori lifted her chin. "But the condition is that you have to revive that insect and ensure the experiment isn’t affected."

"Rest assured!" Matsumoto Mina stepped forward proudly.

Matsumoto Saori followed her, saying, "To prevent you from tampering with anything, this time I’ll be watching you!"

Matsumoto Mina stopped in her tracks, "You’ll be watching?"

"Why not? If I don’t watch, how will I know if you really revived the bug?"

"Fine, watch if you must!"

Then Matsumoto Mina witnessed a scientific neophyte’s curiosity about the lab.

Matsumoto Saori questioned everything about almost every test subject.

Especially with subjects 301 to 320, she even tried to talk to them, asking Matsumoto Mina if it was legal for these people to participate in such experiments.

Matsumoto Mina laughed and said, "Look at the things we have here. Do you think any of it is legal?"

Matsumoto Saori looked incredulously at her, "How can you do something illegal?"

"Otherwise, why do you think we set up our office here?"

Matsumoto Saori froze on the spot. After a moment, she suddenly became angry and exclaimed, "Aren’t you afraid of being universally condemned? I’ll expose your actions to everyone! I’ll let them all know what you, Matsumoto Mina, are really up to!"

Matsumoto Mina stared into Matsumoto Saori’s eyes, stepping closer to her. Realizing something was wrong, Matsumoto Saori began stepping back, asking, "What... what are you trying to do?"

"Give my dear cousin a gift!"

Matsumoto Saori was backed up against the glass wall. Behind her loomed the T-Rex-sized monster, emitting black smoke.
