Chapter 72 Blood Theft

"How is that possible! These three people actually chose to give up?"

"I didn't see it wrong, did I?!"

"They actually gave up the mission!!!"

Amidst the clamor, Zih's expression remained unchanged, but her fingernails had already dug into the flesh of her palm, and her heart was in turmoil.

"These three, would actually give up?? Could it be that none of them made it into the top three? No, that doesn't make sense either. Okay, let's ignore them for now. At least these three people are no longer a direct threat to us, so the situation is already very clear..."

Since Fang Senyan took the lead, Reef and Mogansha naturally followed suit immediately. The withdrawal of the three of them immediately stirred up a storm! Most people believed that Fang Senyan's move was Reef's idea... But regardless, with the withdrawal of Fang Senyan and the others, the original chaotic situation suddenly became clear. It immediately evolved into a direct conflict between the remaining contractors and the Illuminati.

Because no matter how smooth the mission goes, only three people can get the reward in the end! The remaining people will definitely be squeezed out!

With the departure of the base's senior members, the tension between the two sides became particularly obvious. At this time, one of the remaining contractors finally stood up and began to compete with the Illuminati.

This person's name is Huo Shiguang (Firestone Light), who should be contractor number 15711. Fang Senyan had a certain impression of this person when fighting the beast tide. He was stationed in the southern area, and his performance was neither low-key nor outstanding. He also seemed very mediocre when fighting against the group of colonizers. It was commendable that he was able to hide until now.

But now, with the withdrawal of Fang Senyan and the others, he finally couldn't hide anymore. Because if he continued to hide, the neutral contractors would continue to wither and lose, and they wouldn't be able to compete with the Illuminati even if they wanted to.

Fang Senyan was planning to watch their infighting from the sidelines to see if he could stir up trouble, but at this time, a staff member in R&D suddenly approached him. This staff member was none other than Jenny, Secretary to Director Parker. She whispered to Fang Senyan:

"Mr. Parker would like you to go to his office."

Fang Senyan nodded, his heart stirring. Could it be that matter? So he greeted the team in the team channel, and then walked straight over, thinking for a while, and then put on Chris Redfield's lucky bracelet on his wrist. After arriving at Parker's office, he saw that Dr. Grace Augustine was also in Parker's office. The two seemed to be discussing something.

When Parker saw Fang Senyan, he enthusiastically walked over and patted him on the shoulder, introducing him to Dr. Grace:

"This is Lieutenant Seaman, Grace, you must have heard his name when you were on Earth, right?"

Dr. Grace frowned... obviously "touched" by Fang Senyan's high charm, and said indifferently:

"I seem to have heard a little bit."

Parker picked up his coffee and took a sip, and said to Grace very seriously:

"Grace, Seaman is actually a spokesperson for a mysterious and wealthy gentleman. I think if we invite him to visit a series of facilities and processes of the Avatar project, it should make his boss very interested in investing in this project."

Dr. Grace said very impolitely:

"Parker, I don't think he can understand anything. May I ask, Mr. Seaman, what is your education?"

Fang Senyan shrugged:

"Sorry, I haven't finished high school yet. If you want, I can only provide an elementary school diploma."

Dr. Grace continued coldly:

"Then can you try to analyze the sequence of the human genetic code?"

Fang Senyan smiled and said:

"Oh, I am quite proficient in analyzing the winning rules of blackjack."

Dr. Grace ignored him at all, and turned to Parker and said:

"Parker, I don't think he can get any useful information from the visit. I suggest giving this soldier a disk to pass the time instead of adding trouble to our busy work."

Just as Parker was feeling a little embarrassed, Fang Senyan said:

"Perhaps I really can't see anything from the visit, but I can see something else. That is respect. Dr. Grace, perhaps you are very talented in science, but please don't forget that respecting people, especially respecting an investor, is a basic common sense that an enterprise should have. At the very least, you should have basic respect and gratitude for Mr. Parker! Without his help and project funding allocation, you wouldn't be able to research any bullshit at all."

Dr. Grace's face turned ashen, and she ignored Fang Senyan:

"Parker, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Finally, my laboratory will not receive any unrelated people!"

With that, she turned around and left.

Parker's expression didn't change at all, but his tone became heavier:

"Grace, I'm very happy to chat with you, but what we just said was not casual chatting, but a notice. In addition, I didn't ask for your opinion, so I will treat what you just said as if I didn't hear it."

Dr. Grace turned around and glared at Parker:

"How can you do this?"

Parker said coldly:

"I'm starting to suspect that persuading Solim to implement the Avatar project was a wrong awakening. It should have stopped long ago when it was proven that the Avatar could not be mass-produced. But I was still persuaded by you and supported you, but the support you give me is rejection, failure, and arrogance."

"Oh, Grace, listen to me, the purpose of the shareholders for sending us to this damn dangerous planet is to mine more Pandora crystal ore, but please tell me, how does your project that cost hundreds of billions of dollars help increase the monthly production report? How many percentage points did it increase? Don't mention anything else, please answer me."

Dr. Grace was silent for a while and said:

"Not yet."

Parker raised his eyebrows and said:

"Then it's settled. In ten minutes, I will visit the R&D company's genetic research department with Seaman. If you have any dissatisfaction, you are welcome to complain to the board of directors, or submit a resignation report!"

Dr. Grace walked out and slammed the door shut, then gave Fang Senyan a deep, cold look. Fang Senyan immediately received a prompt:

"Your relationship with the important plot character: Dr. Grace has dropped from indifferent to hatred."

"Important plot character: Dr. Grace is a non-combatant, so she will not attack you, but will refuse to have any communication with you."

Fang Senyan was helpless about this. Obviously, one must learn to seize opportunities. Dr. Grace obviously had a very bad impression of him. If he hadn't been tougher just now, this woman might not have looked at him differently, and might have ruined Parker's side of things, and he wouldn't have been able to get the Avatar protagonist's blood. Trying to please everyone often results in failing on both sides.

The following series of processes was unbelievably easy. It seems that the saying that fortresses are usually broken from the inside is not without reason. Under the leadership of Director Parker, Fang Senyan successfully entered the biological laboratory and visited the Avatar connector and the complete amniotic fluid tank. With Dr. Grace's reluctant cooperation, Fang Senyan witnessed a series of processes of humans controlling the Avatar.

Then he walked to the amniotic fluid tank belonging to the protagonist, and suddenly "oh" in surprise:

"This expression is very similar to a familiar friend of mine. Is he Jake Sully?"

Director Parker sighed:

"No, my friend, you see it wrong. This is made according to the DNA of a doctor in our R&D department. Unfortunately, he died on Earth. Only someone with the same DNA as him can control this big guy. Fortunately, I heard that he has a twin brother, oh, it seems that I see his name is indeed Jake Sully, which makes our 50 million dollars have a chance to be recovered instead of being sent to the destruction nest."

At this time, a bearded man in a white coat, Dr. Matthews Pat, interjected next to him:

"It would be a pity to destroy this Avatar, because the rest of the Avatars are artificially created embryos on Earth, and then slowly grow during the five years of transportation. This Avatar is the one we successfully created here after many failed modulations. It has very important significance."

"Wow!" Fang Senyan made a solemn expression and said: "I didn't expect there to be such a complicated story. More importantly, I can actually see something so closely related to Jake Sully 5 light-years away from Earth. Mr. Parker, you must promise me one request, let me shake hands with this big guy."

Director Parker was obviously a little embarrassed, but Dr. Grace said coldly:

"The amniotic fluid of the Avatar is not as gentle as that of humans. It can even be said to be a strong alkaline substance! Parker, your guest is here to visit, not to make a mess of this place."

Since the relationship was already hostile anyway, Fang Senyan naturally didn't have a good answer:

"Shut up, old woman, I'm about to vomit from the smell of smoke in your mouth. Don't you know that it's very impolite to interrupt when others are talking? Or are you saying that you think you can call the shots for Parker?"

Obviously, the last sentence of instigation made Parker make up his mind. He ignored Dr. Grace, who was trembling with anger, and turned to the bearded Dr. Pat:

"Satisfy Seaman's little weird wish. But Lieutenant, I hope this request that embarrasses me is the last time."
