Lily thought nothing more of it, lowered her head, and began reading the date. She flipped through the pages and discovered the same problem she faced with the experiment.
One must naturally subdue the scent to maximize the drug’s potency. Also, to let the latter emit its natural aromas, the potency would not be optimum. The biggest problem was the intention to combine the two perfectly.
Lily could not understand why they insisted on such perfection, as not being perfect was the norm, and true perfection was an imperfection that came with defects.
Not to mention that the earlier research was intended to cure people. The patients would accept if the scent of the spices were milder, and there was no need to get rid of the herbal smell completely.
When she later discovered that the research’s goal was not to develop a medicine but poison, she understood the organization was not trying to alleviate others’ suffering. Instead, it was to put people under the drug’s influence unknowingly.
She imagined their target was someone important, and their intention was not to kill them but to make the person their puppet.
Such an important person must be well-protected, and she reckoned they wanted to use spices as it was not easy to poison the target directly. However, Lily did not know whom the organization was targeting.
Having browsed through the data, Lily shook her head.
Mike asked, “What’s wrong?”
“The data is incomplete.” Lily handed him the documents and went straight to the point. “I’ve made it very clear that I need all of them. It’s not complete if you conceal anything from me.”
