Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1551

On the surface, that line was a direct answer to his question, a blunt warning to the administration to stop letting incompetent fools interfere with Specimen Seven's treatment.

But the true crux of the message was never "it won't die." It was the phrase "nobody touches."

If Fenris really was more than just a typical mercenary,

If he also had an ulterior motive regarding the cargo,

Then he would undoubtedly catch the secondary meaning.

Specimen Seven wouldn't just destabilize on its own.

But the moment someone tampered with its legacy bio-chamber or caused a spike in its data metrics.

The ship would have no choice but to beg The Panacea for help once again.

And the second she intervened.

That would grant both of them the perfect excuse to get close to the cargo once more.

This was the blade she was handing to Fenris.

Whether he recognized the weapon and had the spine to wield it was entirely up to him.

If that mongrel couldn't even grasp a hint this obvious, or lacked the nerve to act on it, then he was useless as an ally.

Time slowly ticked by.

Until the horizon outside the porthole was painted with a hazy grey dawn.

Inside the suite, the comms terminal violently lit up. Beep.

In the dead silence of the room, the noise was ear-splitting.

Serena kept her eyes firmly shut.

Seconds later, the terminal blared a second time.

She scowled, blindly snatching the device off the nightstand.

She accepted the call.
