Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1582

Director Kaelen's face flushed and paled in rapid succession.

He genuinely wanted the floor to swallow him whole.

Whitecliffe Harbor was the final auction destination for Project Zero-Transit. If The Sterling Sovereign walked out now, they wouldn't just lose their wealthiest client.

It meant the entire Merchant's Quarter would drastically reevaluate the worth and safety of this batch of living assets.

Especially since The Sterling Sovereign had just witnessed Specimen Seven's breakdown firsthand...

The man wasn't just a buyer; he was Project Zero-Transit's primary source of global funding.

The moment he decided the organization had lost control of their assets, the upcoming auction would collapse entirely.

Their reputation in The Merchant's Quarter would be decimated.

Kaelen could never bear the responsibility of that failure.

His expression entirely aloof, Nicholas stepped around the director, moving toward the exit.

Outwardly, he appeared to be acting solely in his own financial interest.

In reality, every word he spoke was systematically pushing Kaelen into a corner.

If the director refused to grant The Panacea clearance, it proved the organization was incompetent.

But if he gave her the clearance...

Director Kaelen gritted his teeth so hard he nearly cracked his molars.

"Capacity at seventy-one percent!"

The technician's knees practically gave out. "Director, it's getting worse! The chip's response frequency is still spiking! If this keeps up, it's highly likely... it's going to..."

He didn't need to finish the sentence; the director knew exactly what was coming.

Raking a trembling hand through his hair, Kaelen looked wildly between Serena and Nicholas.

Neither showed a flicker of emotion, their expressionless stares boring straight through him.
