Chapter 397 Busy Scarlett

He wouldn’t try to stop her.

Scarlett devoted herself to the lab.

Before long, an email from SCI landed in her inbox, confirming her paper had cleared every round of review and would soon be published.

A sample copy would arrive in a matter of days.

Then another email arrived.

This one was from Kargel.

Scarlett arched an eyebrow–she knew Kargel’s reputation as Hawkland’s resident science maniac.

Kargel’s message was a blatant attempt to recruit her.

He dangled an extravagant offer, hoping to lure her to Hawkland.

Scarlett instantly guessed that the SCI editorial staff had slipped her email address to Kargel.

But she’d registered with a false identity, and the sample copy’s delivery address couldn’t be traced back to her.

e’d even installed anti–tracking apps on her phone and laptop.

Not even Hawkland’s Ministry of Defense could use the email to unmask her.

Her pen name was, fittingly, “Random.”

Her approach to the superalloy paper had been as nonchalant as the name suggested.

Scarlett hadn’t published for her own recognition.

She’d done it for someone else’s sake.

She’d never met this person–and he’d never met her.

It all started when she saved a firefighter in Khiburn using her array techniques, which caught the attention of the authorities.

A special agency sent someone to speak with her.

One member, clearly desperate, had tried to ask for her help before their team leader shut him down.

Scarlett later dug into the matter herself.

She learned that the man wanted her help with a scientist.

This scientist had studied abroad in Hawkland, later returned home, then went back to Hawkland for international collaboration.

He was detained there, unable to return, forced to keep working on his research.

That research involved superalloys.

Scarlett decided to create a breakthrough in the field, hoping to test the waters.

Publishing the paper was her way of sending a message to Hawkland.

She wanted to show them her country had more than one expert in superalloys.

Now that her work was published, she’d caught Kargel’s eye. He must have pored over her theories.

A personal email from him meant her work was taken seriously.

It was a subtle warning: her country was filled with scientific talent.

Her nation was already developing its own superalloys.

She hoped this would pressure Hawkland into releasing the scientist.

She didn’t know if her gambit would work.

But once her country’s superalloy project succeeded, Hawkland would have no leverage.

She’d done everything she could. What happened next wasn’t her concern.

A few days later, she stopped in Brookriver City to pick up her sample copy.

She returned to Jyncrest City.

She showed the sample to Leslie.

Leslie exclaimed, “Scarlett, you’ve published in SCI? That’s remarkable.”

He pored over the superalloy theory and realized it matched the experiments underway in

their own lab.

His expression grew grave.

He feared Scarlett might have put herself at risk.

One of his students had made progress in this field and ended up detained overseas, unable to come home.

Despite every effort, nothing had worked.

Even now, there was hope he might be rescued.

This wasn’t just an ordinary alloy. The material could be used in the world’s most advanced

weapon systems.

He was worried Scarlett’s paper would put a target on her back.
