Inside the office of the research base, Francis was engrossed in his work. Suddenly, without any warning, the office door was opened.
Francis, annoyed by the interruption, looked up with anger and coldly said, “Didn't I tell you that nothing is more important than my work when I'm working? You'd better not disturb me. Get out and knock before entering!”
To his surprise, he saw several unfamiliar faces entering. All of them were foreigners dressed in combat uniforms.
Havik calmly walked in with his hands behind his back, smiling mischievously. “I'm sorry, but I don't have the habit of knocking, and I must disturb you.”
Francis stood up, his tone cold. “Who are you?”
He picked up the office telephone and sternly said into it, “Security! Security! Come to my office immediately.”
Havik leisurely pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling. “There's no need to call. When we entered, we already took care of all those guards. Now there's no one who can help you. It's in your best interest to cooperate with me.”
Upon hearing this, Francis' expression turned from shock to anger, but as a seasoned individual, he remained calm and didn't panic at all.
He looked deeply at Havik and slowly sat back down in his chair. Then, he stared at Havik and said, “You have a lot of audacity to cause trouble here. Do you know who the real owner of this research institute is? I guarantee that if you continue to cause trouble, things certainly won't end well for you. You're on the edge of a cliff, and it's not too late to turn back.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Havik applauded sarcastically. He laughed and said, “Haha, Professor Ladell, you remain calm and composed even in times of crisis. You even try to intimidate us by mentioning Nathan Cross. I admire your courage.”
Francis replied coldly, “If you know that Mr. Cross is the real owner of this laboratory, then you should know how powerful he is. If you're causing trouble here, you won't be able to leave Eurasia.”
Havik smirked and said, “I don't believe that!”
