Corey’s eyes narrowed as they flickered.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
He put down his phone and took a deep breath before saying in a low voice, “Come in.”
In no time, a man in black walked into the room and spoke next to his ear. “I’ve already published the mission list. Everyone in the medical field is eyeing this piece of nice reward.”
Corey nodded in satisfaction. It’s definitely worth it to spend one billion for a virus that could control one’s body.
He then said indifferently, “After some time, let me see these people.”
He wanted to hand this mission to someone he could trust.
The man in black nodded. “Understood.”
Meanwhile, the private plane of Woodsbury University had finally touched down on Sandfort City.
As there were a few days of holiday for those from the medicine department, they were not in a hurry to get back to university.
Some went back to their hometowns, while others played around.
After walking out of the airport, Janet looked at Black Python calmly. “Send Sharon back.”
Upon hearing that, he let out a grunt.
Janet arched her eyebrows and looked at him before she spoke in a slightly teasing tone. “Why? You don’t want to?”
Before he could reply, however, Sharon waved her hands. “It’s alright. I can go back on my own.”
“Why don’t Summer and I send you back?” Abby winked as she asked this question.
Sharon merely smiled. “It’s not on your way home though.”
With that, a male’s voice rang behind her. “Miss Nathan, why don’t we go back together? Your house is along the way.”
Sharon turned around to look at him. Sure enough, they lived close to each other—she even met him a few times when she was going to university or coming back home.
She nodded before she looked at Janet and the rest. “Alright. I’ll make a move then.”
With that, she turned around to start walking with her coursemate.
Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by someone, so she turned around in confusion.
“Let’s go,” Black Python muttered without any expression on his face. “I’ll send you home.”
Upon hearing that, Sharon exclaimed in surprise.
With a slightly displeased look on his face, he frowned and spoke unhappily. “What’s wrong? Do you not want to? Or do you want to go back with someone else?”
His tone sounded as if he was interrogating her. At that moment, she did not know how to reply to him.
Standing at the same spot with a bag slung over one of her shoulders, Janet laughed lazily. “Alright, alright. Sharon, just go back with Black Python. As for you, Black Python, be more gentle with her.”
He turned around awkwardly and smiled at Janet without speaking. However, he still shot a glance at Sharon, as if he was telling her to get going quickly.
Janet laughed again without uttering another word.
“Janet, I’ll go back with Summer now.” Abby waved to her cutely.
Janet smiled back at her with adoration in her eyes. “Alright. Have a safe trip; let me know if anything happens.”
Both Abby and Summer nodded before leaving in a cab they hailed.
After all the medicine students left, a nondescript black Rolls Royce came to a stop at the side of the road.
Janet’s eyes narrowed before she directly opened the door of the backseat.
Just as she stepped into the car, she heard a cold and familiar woman’s voice.
“Janet, have you seen my message?”
Janet raised her head and looked at Lara before she gently hummed in agreement.
She knew the content of the message as well.
Prime Minister Welch from the Hawke Kingdom suddenly announced internally that he was going to attend an auction in Barnsford, but they had no idea why he decided to do this.
Usually, Prime Minister Hawke kept a very low profile.
It was obviously unusual now that he suddenly announced that he was about to attend a public event.
“Lara, do you think something’s off?”
Lara nodded casually. “It is unusual.”
“That’s what I thought,” Janet replied, smiling excitedly.
