"Boss, how were these experimental results obtained? There's no procedure, no details, and no supporting data at all. Why would you trust this?"
Maya asked with a deep frown. The experimental method was unusual and had indeed given her a flash of inspiration, but far too much was missing for it to be credible.
"Ms. Maya, I can tell you with absolute certainty that, although I can't show it to you, I witnessed its success myself before letting you see this experimental method."
Karn waved a hand and continued, "This approach is correct, but you'll need to research the second type of cell yourselves. Something with stronger regenerative abilities, like salamanders or geckos... Why are you all looking at me like that? I admit I don't know as much biology as you do. Those were just examples. That's why I need you to research it."
After he mentioned salamanders and geckos, Maya, Killian, and the other researchers all gave him strange looks. Karn knew he had said something wrong, but there was definitely nothing wrong with the research direction. Orochimaru had already proven it worked.
"Boss, are you saying there's already been a successful case?"
Killian asked with a frown. He didn't believe another team could have progressed faster than theirs. Still, when he recalled how their young boss had kept asking about the Extremis Virus recently, insisting on understanding the serum production process even if he couldn't grasp the principles and equations, he began to believe it a little.
But Killian still wanted to see the test subject himself. He could tell Karn wasn't exactly an upright man either. If Karn hadn't placed such importance on Maya's storyline, the Biological Research Center would probably have switched to cheap Black people and illegal immigrants as test subjects by now.
