The government had dispatched three full tactical squads just to escort it.
But now...
This machinery had quietly appeared on the island.
Just thinking about it made Howard's scalp tingle with fear.
Adrian could tell from Howard's expression that he wasn't making things up to defend Serena.
It was real.
That pillar of national technology was actually in Serena's hands, serving as her team's research setup.
How could Serena possibly have the skills or the connections for that?
Adrian suddenly felt...
Like his entire savior act must have looked like an absolute joke to Serena.
He thought he was being generous, bringing tens of millions of dollars in imported tech, expecting her to weep with gratitude.
But in reality...
The machinery he was so proud of.
Was nothing compared to the national treasure she already possessed.
Adrian stood outside the Apex Research Hub, his face ashen and his eyes dark with resentment.
He glared at the locked doors.
No!
He refused to believe it.
Even if Howard was entirely convinced.
He absolutely would not believe that Serena had the qualifications to use Sovereign-level equipment.
That was reserved for elite academicians.
Serena was a twenty-year-old girl who grew up in the countryside, a girl who hadn't even finished high school before dropping out.
What right did she have to use it?
Where would she even get her hands on the only set of custom equipment in Elyndor?
It had to be a fake!
Or rather...
She deliberately had a high-quality replica made!
