Admitting it willingly

As she spoke, she gestured to the side.

"Please have a seat."

Her reaction suggests there's nothing wrong with her.

They neither showed particular surprise nor immediately questioned why they hadn't knocked.

Instead, she steered the conversation back to its familiar rhythm; she was the occupant of the office and also the company's Public Relations President.

If someone comes looking for her, she should sit down and talk first, and then explain what needs to be done by her.

As for how these people came in, we can put that aside for now.

Okay, actually she just didn't dare to pursue the matter.

Lin Mo looked at her, but neither sat down nor answered her question. Instead, he slowly explained the purpose of his visit.

He moved aside slightly, then reached out and pulled the A-Train standing behind him directly to the front.

The A-Train had originally planned to stand a little further back.

We'll wait for Lin Mo to speak before deciding what to say.

As a result, this idea didn't even have a chance to last long before the person was thrust into the most conspicuous position.

He looked up and met Madelyn's gaze, then gave her an awkward but polite smile.

Madelyn.

However, this greeting sounded somewhat hesitant.

Madelyn looked at him, and the thought she had just suppressed suddenly resurfaced.

Lin Mo pulled out the A-Train.

Also, there are several things that have recently been assigned to the A-Train, put together.

She already had a vague guess in her mind, but she still held onto a sliver of hope and showed no sign of panic on her face.

He then looked the A-Train up and down before turning his gaze back to Lin Mo.

"Is it because of that recent hit-and-run accident?"

She asked.

"I already know about this. Ashley is also arranging follow-up reports."

"Besides, I just received news that the girl has already recovered, hasn't she?"

She softened her tone slightly as she said this.

"If there's anything else that requires the company's cooperation, please let me know."

These few words sound quite plausible; someone who didn't know the situation might actually think she had considered the whole matter from beginning to end.

Unfortunately, Lin Mo wasn't very interested in spending time with her today.

He looked at Madelyn and suddenly smiled.

"That's not it."

Madelyn's smile froze instantly.

Lin Mo did not give her a chance to change the subject.

You know what I'm talking about.

"So, don't make me ask you one question at a time."

His voice wasn't loud. There was still a hint of the smile that had lingered from earlier in his tone.

But as the A-Train stood beside him, he inexplicably felt that he should even hold his breath a little quieter.

Lin Mo looked at Madelyn behind the desk and continued, "Otherwise, that's a different story."

"You admitted it yourself."

"I might consider sparing your life."

The office fell silent immediately.

Madelyn looked at Lin Mo, and the smile on her face finally began to fade.

Half-Life.

Hearing Lin Mo say this, she didn't feel like he was joking with her.

She subconsciously glanced at the A-Train next to her again.

The other person stood there, their gaze darting around, clearly having already said quite a bit.

Madelyn immediately understood.

There's no way to hide it anymore.

However, just because she can't keep it a secret doesn't mean there's no other way. She got to where she is today not just because of her seniority.

Now that Lin Mo knows about it...

What we need to do now is to change our perspective and make the other party reconsider this matter.

With that thought in mind, Madelyn took a small breath and then tentatively spoke.

"Are you talking about the A-Train transporting Compound V?"

The A-Train glanced at her, then nodded.

I've already said that.

The meaning is clear: stop pretending not to know. Those who need to know already know.

After hearing this, Madelyn's fingers, which were resting on the table, tightened slightly.

However, she quickly looked at Lin Mo again.

"I can explain this."

"I arranged things this way not to cause you any trouble."

She paused briefly as she spoke.

"On the contrary."

"I did this for you."

Lin Mo looked at her without saying a word.

Maeve's brows furrowed first.

For them?

Madelyn didn't stop; having already started, she had to finish her explanation.

"You know the company has always wanted to integrate Superhero into the military. But we haven't really made a breakthrough in that regard."

"It's not that you're not good enough, it's that those people don't realize just how much they need you."

After saying these words, Madelyn regained some of the confidence to talk about work, and her tone gradually became more composed.

"They believe that their existing strength is enough to solve all problems, which is why they have repeatedly rejected us."

"But what if one day they find that things aren't like that? What if a threat arises that only Superhero can handle?"

"Will they still turn us away like before?"

As she spoke, her gaze sharpened, sweeping across the faces of the group, her tone full of anticipation.

"At that time, you will gain much more than what you have now."

"A higher status, more resources, and the benefits that come with truly integrating into the military system."

These are all opportunities for you.

Of course, she also has her own opportunities.

Who initiated the project? Who arranged the details? And ultimately, who brought this business deal to the company?

Once these things are accomplished, she will naturally benefit as well.

However, there's no need to bring this up now, and she doesn't intend to.

Madelyn looked at Lin Mo, as if she wanted to continue explaining.

But Maeve, standing beside her, spoke first.

"So, you're planning to create those threats yourself?"

Madelyn paused slightly, wanting to continue weaving her own opinion.

Maeve didn't give her time to come up with a better way to say it.

"Send Compound V out, let those people gain the ability, then let them cause trouble, and then we'll deal with them?"

"This is what you meant by 'for us'?"

Madelyn looked at her, trying to continue her argument.

"Maeve, things aren't as simple as you think."

"Then tell me, what about ordinary people?"

Maeve interrupted her sharply.

"Ordinary people who lack ability."

What do they do when they encounter Supe madman?

The office fell silent for a moment again.

Maeve looked at Madelyn, her smile completely gone.

She probably did come along with a bit of a "let's see what happens" attitude.

But now, listening to Madelyn describe these things as opportunities and benefits...

She simply couldn't manage a smile anymore.
