"Yes, please order."

Gray Serpent appeared beside the two like a ghost, handing them a menu in a hoarse and unsettling voice.

"Um... I was just asking casually, and it turns out there really is?"

Siegfried was startled by the Gray Serpent, then subtly noticed that something seemed off about its appearance.

Why is someone who looks like the villain behind the scenes doing the work of a waiter?

"Because we had anticipated this situation, we took it from the staff canteen."

"... Your cafeteria looks pretty high-class."

Siegfried rubbed his ears and took the menu.

"Wow, there's a lot of variety... Let's start with two bottles of whiskey, American ones, please."

"Please wait a moment."

The Gray Serpent nodded, then transmitted the information to its other body before disappearing into the shadows like a ghost, watching the chaotic hall.

He truly never expected that Shencheng Pharmaceuticals would one day become so lively for this reason.

But it's much better than it was at the beginning.

The initial period of chaos has passed, and everyone's mindset has begun to calm down. Tesla, for example, has now completely overpowered Edison.

Hmm... I never expected that Edison. Edison, who seems to have longer legs, couldn't outrun Dr. Tesla.

"I'm a top-tier scientist, you think you can outrun me, you office-bound bastard?"

The furious Tesla pinned Edison to the ground.

Edison was also dumbfounded at this moment... that he was so weak that he couldn't even outrun Tesla?

"So you're the one who sneaked away, you bastard!"

Tesla rode on top of Edison, grabbed him by the collar, and questioned him.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Edison stopped resisting and just stared at Tesla with his dead fish eyes.

"If you're just jealous, just say so. There's no need to act like an ape all the time."

"Aaaaaaah!!"

Seeing Tesla completely in a state of agitation, Edison seemed to think things weren't chaotic enough.

"We've all already exchanged information, except for Dr. Loser, who knows nothing. Ah~~ how pitiful~~"

"You you you you!!!"

Gray Serpent: "..."

Why does that place have a feeling that it could become a murder scene?

"Should Dr. Einstein go and stop them?"

"...?"

Gray Serpent belatedly looked at the petite blue-haired doctor beside him.

"... Dr. Einstein?"

Gray Serpent's tone was slightly puzzled.

After all... she was wearing an extremely girlish white dress, and her messy hair, which I remembered, was now neatly styled. She didn't look as sloppy as the intelligence report suggested. She looked like a princess from a fairy tale.

"Well, this is our first meeting, Mr. Gray Serpent."

Einstein nodded slightly at the Gray Serpent.

"It took me a little time to change clothes... but I didn't expect Dr. Tesla to catch Nancy so soon."

"..."

Gray Serpent was surprised and didn't know how to respond... Why did he feel like he couldn't keep up with the other person's train of thought?

"Are you gathering intelligence?"

Before Gray Serpent could compose himself, Einstein asked a question that seemed to have no meaning.

"... This is an essential quality for an information broker."

Gray Serpent said in a calm tone.

Upon hearing this, Einstein nodded. "Dr. Einstein thought you were gathering intelligence for your creator."

"..."

The Gray Serpent in the shadows twitched at the corner of its mouth; Einstein had put it that way, and there was nothing more to say.

"You mean to..."

"It's nothing, I just wanted to chat with you since you're standing here."

Einstein sighed as he watched the two bickering in the hall.

"I'll go separate those two. Mr. Gray Serpent, please do as you please."

As you please?

The Gray Serpent paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of something unpleasant and stiffly turned its head away.

Sure enough, Dr. Mei, Herrscher of Sentience, was looking at him with a half-smile.

Then, the Gray Serpent saw Mei's lips move slightly.

— "Do your own thing well"

Gray Serpent wiped away non-existent cold sweat and bowed to Mei.

"Why are you looking at the Gray Serpent?" Shibao asked Mei, somewhat puzzled.

"Nothing."

Mei shook her head.

To reiterate, Gray Serpent has never been a neutral NPC. This guy is a true die-hard Mobius fan, and if we were even closer, he could be considered a godson.

The reason they seem harmless and businesslike now is entirely because Mobius isn't here.

Once Mobius returns, this guy will show his fangs.

Mei had no doubt that the guy who had been secretly gathering intelligence would be Mobius's best assist.

However, Mei doesn't need to argue with the other party too much. They are on different levels. If she lowers herself to deal with Gray Serpent, it would make her seem like she is afraid of Mobius.

Moreover, the Gray Serpent has never really made a name for itself.

If Gray Serpent hadn't briefly acted as a waitress and been caught red-handed by Einstein, she probably wouldn't have noticed him.

"Oh..."

Shibao nodded, seemingly puzzled.

"Hey, by the way, Mei, have you seen Teacher Liu's mount?"

Shibao racked his brains but couldn't find any trace of his "glorious achievements" from yesterday.

"She has been promoted to maid."

Mei corrected.

"Bella... I don't know where she went. I heard Kiana took her away last night."

"I always felt that it was Mei who took that guy away."

Shibao looked at Mei strangely.

"Thinking about it carefully, the Jackal doesn't seem to be here either."

"Jackal isn't my follower, and she has no connection with most people here, so what's she doing here?"

Mei tried hard to keep a straight face.

"Besides, that dragon maid isn't so easily fooled."

"Real?"

Shibao looked on with suspicion.

"Senior sister, you have to believe me." Mei said expressionlessly.

"..." Shibao looked at Mei's serious face and remained silent for a moment. "So it really was you, right?"

Mei: "..."

That's not scientific!

Theoretically, this matter should be able to be dealt with casually, right?

Is the Herrscher of Sentience this outrageous even without using its abilities?

But you're never usually this bright!

"... It's just to get her blood drawn."

Mei admitted helplessly.

"I'm not going to dissect the doctor's stuff."

"Well... that's good."

Shibao thought about it and felt that although that thing was his glorious achievement, it would still be quite an eyesore if it appeared next to Teacher Liu.

So skip it, skipping it is fine.

"... But speaking of which, how did you guys lie to her?"

"Um... in the teacher's name."

"...ha?"

"Bella, your owner wants you to come with me for a medical check-up."

Mei repeated the words without any expression.

"She actually believed that?" Shibao's eyes twitched slightly.

"I naturally smell like a teacher, so what's so strange about her believing it?"

Mei kept a straight face.

"Although we are a little curious about her understanding of smell, haven't we been with the teacher all these days? Anyway, if we succeed in fooling her, we'll make a fortune; if we fail, we won't lose anything."

"That actually... makes a lot of sense?"

Shibao showed an expression of being persuaded.

Although something still feels a bit off.

Just as Shibao was racking his brains trying to figure out what was wrong, Mei came back.

Hmm... Mei with a big smile

"You beat up those girls?"

Mei suddenly asked Mei was walking past her.

"It was just a little bit of education that I would give as an elder sister."

Mei stopped and smiled at Mei.

"Yeah, that's what I said when I bullied my junior brothers back then."

Mei smiled knowingly, which made Mei slightly embarrassed.

"They moved so fast, we didn't even hear a sound from here."

"Well... the younger sisters are a bit hesitant in their actions, so I just taught them a lesson."

Mei smiled and glanced at the door.

She went out, and four people followed her furtively. Mei knew perfectly well what they were up to—or rather, she had gone out on purpose.

Sure enough, when Mei revealed her weakness in a secluded place, Bronya did not hesitate to backstab Mei.
