The goal was to capture the SSS-level beastman on the run—Lee.
I looked at her with anger.
"To capture him, you actually ignored the protection regulations and fired at civilians!"
"Does dad know you're doing such mad things?"
Carley looked at me with indifference.
"Mad?"
She bent over, seemingly amused by my words.
"Someone has to sacrifice for science. What's the death of a mere ant? Once I develop a 100% excellence rate, Father will be proud of me."
I frowned.
She truly is an unreasonable madwoman.
Science is important, but if it means losing humanity, how is it different from slaughter?
Carley said with a hint of jealousy:
"Noelle, sometimes I really envy you. The beastmen are so devoted to you."
"It's a pity you didn't die just now."
Her eyes glowed with a crimson light.
I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine.
Carley is the adopted daughter of my father. Although she is my sister in name, we are not close.
I have always kept my distance from this sister.
Learning that she wanted to put me to death still sent a shiver down my spine.
The researchers nearby urged:
"Hurry and take the beastman away. It'll be troublesome if he wakes up later."
Carley shook her head in regret and took the unconscious Lee away.
I clenched my fingers.
I found myself worried about his safety.
At this moment, the dungeon returned to its eerie calm.
I said with a calm demeanor:
"Alvaro, you've disappointed me greatly."
Hearing this, Alvaro's delicate lashes trembled.
"You know about it?"
He flinched suddenly, as if wanting to stand and explain to me.
But his injuries were too severe, and he fell to the ground again and again.
Alvaro's eyes were red, and his beautiful fox ears drooped.
"Noelle, listen to me, I..."
He choked up, "I was just so afraid of losing you."
"When Carley showed me the surveillance footage, I was furious that you broke the contract for a cold-blooded snake person. So, I agreed to help her set a trap to capture the escaped SSS-level snake person."
"Noelle, I really know I was wrong. Will you forgive me?"
"Can we go back to how we were before?"
I scoffed and interrupted him.
"Enough, Alvaro. After raising you for so many years, do you think I don't understand you?"
"You sought out Carley with the termination agreement, only to suffer her inhumane abuse, and then happened to encounter the escape of an SSS-level beastman. Carley found out that I took Lee, so she forced you to join forces to capture him."
"Am I right?"
With each word I spoke, his face grew paler.
Cold sweat continuously oozed from his forehead.
"I..."
He choked up and remained silent in the end.
I knew that perhaps he was genuinely touched for a moment, believing I would come back to save him.
Perhaps even he had little hope.
But Alvaro's greatest love has always been himself.
To him, I am just a tool to be used.
