"Boss."
Dr. Erik saw Yang Bo approaching with Darcy, and a delighted smile immediately spread across his face.
He set his pen on the desk, finally put his lingering worries to rest, and stood up to say:
"Darcy, welcome to the company. I guarantee this is the best decision you've ever made."
Darcy nodded, opened her arms, and gave Erik a hug.
"Thank you, Professor Erik."
Watching the two of them, Yang Bo nodded slightly. Helping his own people really did feel good.
"Dr. Erik, I'll leave Darcy in your care, then. From now on, she's a member of your department."
"Come to me if you have any problems. Let's head back now."
Erik nodded.
"All right, boss."

Yang Bo glanced at Erik. It seemed he really hadn't told Darcy anything. Yang Bo smiled and said, "You'll find out in a moment. I guarantee it'll blow you away."
They reached the company's basement, where plenty of people were still busy at work.
When they reached a room, Yang Bo pushed the door open and walked inside. A blue, circular Portal stood right in its center.
This Portal had been opened using the Tesseract. After extensive research, Erik could now easily target any location whose coordinates he knew.
"Whoa..."
The moment Darcy saw the Portal, her eyes instinctively widened.
"Oh my God, is this...?"
Erik explained, "A spatial Portal. It'll also be the main focus of our research from now on."
Darcy couldn't resist stepping forward and circling the Portal.
"I can't believe it, Professor."
"If you announced this to the public, this year's Nobel Prize would definitely be yours."
Dr. Erik chuckled twice at that, then waved his hand
