To Schicksal, they were still just bugs that could be crushed at will.
Nothing to worry about.
This was planned information leakage for self-preservation, not betrayal. Once the Venerable Lord learned the circumstances, he would forgive her.
Theresa sighed outside.
Although she had never handled financial matters, even she knew how convenient it would be to merge the accounts of the two companies. Yet World Serpent and Shencheng Medicine had gone to such painstaking lengths to split two different lines of business from one enterprise into two companies. Without a reasonable explanation, Theresa would be suspicious.
Why? Why, exactly?
Zhao Bai was asking the same question, hoping Raven would give him some explosive answer—preferably one that would let him raid World Serpent's headquarters tomorrow.
"Of course, because of stereotypes."
Raven looked a little aggrieved. "It'd be strange if a weapons development company suddenly started developing medicine, wouldn't it?"
"That's true."
"Some people always think we're trying to create a biological crisis, but that isn't the case. World Serpent is a company that takes keeping a low profile as its motto. We don't want to face too much criticism, so the parent company isn't even publicly listed."
"I'll count that as an answer."
Zhao Bai truly hadn't expected Raven to have such strong improvisational skills.
Wasn't she supposed to be an idiot?
"One more question. Gray Serpent's pharmaceutical development work for Hexie Medicine was what caused this incident. How do you explain that?"
"Gray Serpent? He's an old terrorist."
Raven did not panic. Instead, she wore a gleeful expression.
Raven said gleefully, "Young hero, I suggest you kill him every time you see him. Don't talk to him. It'd be best if you used that greatsword to melt him completely—turn him into a puddle of molten metal slag."
