Their laboratory was completely surrounded, packed tight with angry competitors.
Even if they wanted to slip away unnoticed, it was entirely impossible.
They were running their own experiments.
Naturally, they understood exactly how catastrophic the consequences of this power outage were.
With the damage done, there was no easy way to quell the fury of the crowd.
If they refused to step out of the lab.
Those competitors wouldn't leave either.
Sooner or later, they had to face them.
But a pampered heiress like Bianca Doyle had never faced this kind of overwhelming, aggressive mob before.
Go out and apologize?
What if those people lost their minds and attacked her?
"Bianca, The Board of Arbiters and the security team are out there. No matter how angry they are, they won't be able to hurt you," Isabella said, lifting a corner of the blinds to peer at the furious crowd.
Her face was pale, but she forced herself to stay calm. "If we admit our mistake right away, maybe they won't be as mad... but if we drag this out, there's no telling what might happen."
Bianca hesitated for a long time before gritting her teeth and deciding to open the door.
The team was forced out of the lab, looking utterly defeated.
The competitors looked deranged, screaming, "Bianca, what the hell did you do?"
"All our data is gone! How are you going to pay for this?"
"Do you have any idea how hard we worked for a tiny breakthrough? You ruined everything!"
"My simulation was only halfway done! Halfway! Bianca, The Dreamscape Initiative, you did this on purpose!"
"You have to take responsibility for this!"
The crowd was practically rioting.
