However, recruiting this man also came with uncertainties and risks.
The Superbrain Project was very likely an Andra Group project, and this researcher had very likely betrayed the Andra Group, which then hired someone to silence him.
If he hired this researcher, he would truly be stepping out from behind the scenes into the spotlight, coming onto the Andra Group's radar and perhaps even entering into direct conflict with it.
A corporation was a "collective," composed of countless people and countless individual minds, so ordinary minor conflicts and friction at the lower levels could not possibly attract serious attention and a coordinated, all-out response.
There was no need to look far-even the divisions under a certain penguin-branded company operated independently and sometimes competed as enemies. Whenever a collective was involved, unified thinking and unquestioning coordination, or everyone coming together over some trivial matter, was simply impossible. Internal friction was far more common instead.
But the plot of "Superbrain" was different.
The effects of the "Superbrain" drug-and a finished product at that-ensured that the Andra Group would place an extremely high priority on it. After all, possessing such a drug might substantially accelerate all its other projects, benefiting large numbers of people.
If he stepped into the spotlight, hired the traitor Andra wanted silenced, and effectively acquired the technological achievements, he would undoubtedly become a thorn in the Andra Group's side.
And right now, he lacked the resources to contend with that behemoth.
His personal safety might be manageable. Staying in the Xia Kingdom with Uncle Luo and A Tuo around offered some measure of protection. But a corporation-or even a financial conglomerate-with such extensive influence could cause him plenty of trouble just by putting a few obstacles in his way elsewhere.
"The main question is whether it's worth it..."
