“Jiang...Mr. Jiang Lin?! And…”
The female Hound’s voice trembled, her hands involuntarily clenching.
Seeing that they had been mentioned, Jiang Lin took a slight step forward, looking at the pale-faced Hound before him, and said in a calm tone:
“Yes, it’s me. And these few here are Ms. Herta, Mr. Screwllum, and Ms. Ruan Mei from the Genius Society.”
After Jiang Lin finished speaking, the female Hound felt her head buzzing.
The scene before her seemed to dim a little.
She truly wished she could travel back in time and slap her past self, the one who spoke so presumptuously, to make her clearly see who was behind the star before speaking.
But since things had come to this, she could only bite the bullet and continue to negotiate.
“Well… this is actually a misunderstanding…”
“Right, right, right, she actually meant to say, Dr. Chadwick doesn’t want… no, it’s we don’t want… no, that’s not right, it’s Dr. Chadwick can’t… no, it’s not, it’s we can’t…”
The male Hound hastily tried to make amends, but it seemed he was too “excited” and forgot his words.
At this moment, Screwllum also seemed unwilling to waste any more time here, so he took a step forward and spoke in a calm tone:
“I fully understand your duties and I deeply admire your loyalty to your family. However, this matter is of great importance, and I believe neither of you wishes to push your entire family to oppose the Genius Society by sticking to your principles.”
Star was somewhat surprised; she had never seen Screwllum like this before.
Although Star couldn’t see Screwllum’s expression or detect any difference in his tone when he said that, this was precisely the most terrifying part.
How could he say such terrifying words in such a calm tone?!
And upon hearing Screwllum’s words, the two Hounds nearly fainted and ascended on the spot.
Finally, after the female Hound recovered, she quickly adopted a respectful demeanor.
“I will now take you, our distinguished guests, to Dr. Chadwick’s room.”
“Shouldn’t we consult the patriarch first?”
The male Hound beside her reminded.
“No, it’s meaningless now. The final outcome won’t change, but if we delay any longer, I dread to imagine what terrible things might happen.”
The female Hound, having experienced a series of psychological ups and downs, was somewhat numb.
A moment later, led by the Hound, everyone arrived in front of a room.
“This room, I know it.”
Star seemed to suddenly remember something, then continued:
“I was wondering why this door wouldn’t open back then…”
“You went around opening all the hotel rooms?”
Jiang Lin looked at Star somewhat strangely.
Star awkwardly scratched her head, not wanting to say much.
At this moment, the Hound had already opened the door and said to Jiang Lin and the others:
“Dr. Chadwick is inside. Please come in, everyone.”
Upon entering the room, everyone tacitly turned their gaze to the Dream Pool.
“Huh? Why is there nothing inside?”
Star felt confused and turned to look at the Hound… but Star was surprised to find that the Hound, who had just been at the door, was now nowhere to be seen.
“He ran that fast, huh…”
