Chapter 271
The next day. Simon met Clifford at the agreed location without telling Mandy. The meeting place was a massive research facility. The entry priserss was complicated and strictly regulated, with three separate checks.
After changing into a sterile suit. Simon followed the receptionist’s directions and made his way toward the center of the laboratory. When they arrived at the Central Laboratory, the receptionist respectfully said, “Professor Hay, the guest has arrived”
Simon looked ahead and saw a tall and slender man in a white lab coat, turning his gaze toward him as he heard the sound. Standing beside him. was another man dressed in a black trench coat, exuding an air of noble and elegant authority. Simon recognized him as Clifford
“Mr. See Seeing a familiar face, Simon greeted Clifford first.
La
Clifford males, his tone courteous as he said, “Mr. Lewis, thank you for coming here. I appreciate your effort.”
Tx no trouble at all! If Mr. Snce called me over, it ist be for something important, Simon said, waving his hand.
Then, Clifford introduced the man in the white lab coat to Simon, saying, “Mr. Lewis, this is Professor James Hay, the youngest and most promising scientist in Moonhuntland”
When Simon heard Janses was a scientist, he immediately felt a sense of respect for him. In Simon’s view, scientists made significant contributions to their country and were worthy of admiration. “Hello, Professor Bay! My name is Simon Lewis! Simon quickly greeted James with respect.
With a cold and distant demeanor, James gave Simon a brief nod and said, “Hello, Mr. Lewis. Mr. Snee mentioned that your body is unlike others, so we have asked you here to conduct a comprehensive health examination.”
Simon was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. He quickly glanced at Clifford. A check–up? he thought.
Clifford noticed Simon’s bestation and quickly clarified his intentions. “Mr. Lewis, I have received reliable information that your condition can help someone who is nearly on the verge of death to recover. Right now, there is such a person who needs your help”
Simon was inherently kind–hearted. Although he didn’t want others to know about his past, hearing that someone’s life was at risk and that he help, he couldn’t help but ask, “Can I help that person? Who is it
e could
After all, for two influential figures like them to be involved in saving someone, that person must be important.
Clifford hid nothing before Simon and replied, “It’s Jackie, one of the war machines. She sacrificed herself to protect the others, and now her body functions have nearly ceased. Only her brain remains active, but there’s a high chance you could help her recover. That’s the reason I brought you here.”
“Jackie. Upon hearing that s
she was one of the war machines, Simon’s last bit of caution d
disappeared.
He knew that the war machines held an irreplaceable significance for Mandy. While the Lewis family were her relatives, Simon could sense that Mandy felt more at case and comfortable with the other war machines.
With one of them’s lives hanging by a thread, Simon couldn’t think of a single reason to refuse help, Without hesitation, Simon immediately decided and firmly said, “Mr. Sure, Professor Bay, I am willing to do everything I can to help you save Jackie
James was quite surprised that Simon agreed so readily to assist them just recently, he had learned from Clifford about a more extraordinary existence than the war machines—individuals who, even with a broken neck, could recover within minutes, beings he referred to as the · extraordinary…
Logically, someone with such extraordinary abilities would likely go to great lengths to hide their uniqueness, fearing they might be captured and used for experiments. Yet, when faced with James and Clifford, Simon readily agreed to undergo physical checks without hesitation.
He wondered if such a person existed. James watched Simon with a thoughtful expression. This guy seems so clueless and a bit dim–witted. Could hebe a fool?
