Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1060

Caleb and the others stared at Serena in absolute shock, their eyes practically bulging out of their heads as they processed the equipment in her hands.

She had taken equipment from federal research labs? Their captain had the sheer audacity to borrow highly classified federal tech?!

Caleb swallowed hard. "But... there are exactly twelve labs on this island, and they've all been assigned."

"If we take a different one, doesn't that mean another team will be forced into that miserable ruin?"

They had all come from nothing, clawing their way up from absolute poverty. They understood better than anyone just how life-changing this tournament was for students without financial backing. They didn't want to destroy another team's future just to secure their own comfort. Forcing another group into that rusted death trap was practically a death sentence for their academic careers. In their minds, fairness was the most critical aspect of the competition.

Serena carefully placed the device on the table and met Caleb's gaze. "Caleb, you need to think faster."

"This island is a dedicated federal research hub. It was built specifically for elite scientific development and advanced experimental trials."

"Because of that, it is mathematically impossible for a substandard lab to exist anywhere on this premises."

"The 'lab' we were assigned is likely an abandoned storage shed. Bianca's family paid Graves to use it just to screw with us."

Why would a multi-billion dollar island designed exclusively for high-level research have a rusted, broken-down lab?

"As for where we'll actually be working, that's not our problem to solve."

"Graves will clean up his own mess."

With that, Serena picked up her equipment and headed toward her master bedroom, leaving the team staring at each other in bewildered silence.

Jasper kept his voice low. "What... what exactly did the captain mean by that?"

Caleb thought about it for a second, a slow smile spreading across his face. Once Serena laid out the logic, everything clicked perfectly.
