The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Nathalie Quinlan raised an eyebrow, pressed her lips together, and exuded an aura of being quite difficult to deal with.

Harvey Cadorette came over looking for Leony Davidson, and happened to see the scene, quickly coming over with Denny Harrison to smooth things over.

”Nathalie, you’re here?” He first greeted the girl.

Nathalie replied somewhat absent-mindedly, ”Mm.”

Harvey sighed in relief and only then spoke to Leony about the arrangement for the newcomer.

Upon hearing the newcomer was arriving today, Leony felt extremely irritated, holding it in for a long time before finally asking Harvey, ”Harvey, is our laboratory really going to receive a parachuting newcomer?”

”Of course, the tutor specifically informed us yesterday.” Harvey Cadorette viewed the matter quite indifferently.

He valued a person’s strength more.

Not particularly interested in how that person got in.

Leony bit her lip, her eyes flickering, ”Could it be Zevaney Kingsley?”

Harvey gave her a surprised glance, unsure why it mattered so much to her but still patiently answered, ”I don’t know, the tutor didn’t tell me.”

Leony’s mood grew even more sullen.

She instinctively looked to the side and saw Nathalie and Agnes Baker’s group, realizing only three people had arrived.

Already simmering with anger, seeing this, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows and snort coldly, speaking to Harvey in a chilly tone, ”It’s almost half-past eight, isn’t it? Why are they missing another person? Don’t they think they can treat this place like a coffee shop, coming and going as they please? I’m telling you, if they don’t want to learn properly, they might as well go back to their own small laboratory instead of hanging around here daily, affecting our experiments!”

She was clearly taking her frustration out.

Transferring her dissatisfaction with the parachuting newcomer onto unrelated people.

Harvey picked up on her moving her anger towards Nathalie and the others, instinctively furrowing his brows, and explained on Williansen’s behalf, ”Williansen’s mother is sick; he took half a day off and will come in the afternoon.”

Leony was still fuming, ”If he doesn’t want to come, that’s fine; frankly, it’s not like any of them would be useful here! With their qualifications, they’ll never make it into our laboratory in this lifetime.”

Nathalie, who was halfway there, almost reaching Agnes and the others.

But she had good hearing, and her auditory capabilities were decent.

Moreover, Leony inherently despised them, speaking without bothering to lower her voice, just using a normal tone with Harvey.

She stopped walking yet again, this time digging her ear as Denny looked on in curiosity, before turning back and returning to stand before Leony and Harvey.

Seeing her return, Leony’s face darkened, not even bothering to speak.

Harvey was stunned for a moment, then looked at the girl and asked, ”Nathalie, do you have anything else?”

Under his gaze, the girl finally lifted her duckbill cap slightly, speaking in a lazy, nonchalant manner, ”Oh, I’m here to report.”

Leony instinctively looked at her, a sudden intense unease rising in her heart, quickening her pulse, pounding wildly.

Nathalie didn’t hold back, her rebellious eyes meeting Leony’s, a smirk forming as their gazes locked, ”How unfortunate, I’m the parachuting newcomer who supposedly won’t ever enter the level 8 laboratory.”

Once she spoke those words.

The entire level 8 laboratory fell into a deathly silence.
