“No fun at all.”

Elise gave Link a deep look, then proactively changed the topic that made Link a bit uncomfortable. She said, “I called you here because I want to cooperate with you.”

“What kind of cooperation?”

Link responded immediately, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

He didn’t want to keep facing Elise’s relentless questioning.

Pretending to be stupid could only work for so long.

“A cooperation related to the research topic you’re currently working on,”

Elise responded calmly.

“How to cooperate? Who’s participating?”

Link continued to ask, trying to grasp more details.

“Me and a few of my buddies, we’ll supply the experimental materials, and then we’ll jointly sign the resulting research papers,”

Elise said, “We guarantee it won’t be less than what the academy gives you, and we’ll also provide some funding. We only ask to be the first author for one ‘paper’ and second or third authors for a few ‘papers’.”

This request, matched with their conditions, was not unreasonable.

Link estimated that this project could produce at least six ‘papers’. With some padding, even eight wouldn’t be an issue.

“Okay.”

After some consideration, Link agreed.

“The experimental materials and funds will be sent to your lab by noon,”

Elise finally stopped standing by the lake, walked over, and patted Link’s shoulder, hinting:

“You should hurry up. Tracey Lucia has also found out what you let your subordinates do. She’s gathering all her strength to do the same research and experiment, preparing to publish the results before you.”

After a pause, Elise gritted her teeth, “Her family always loves to do this kind of thing!”

Apparently, she or someone close to her had also been ‘plagiarized’ by members of the Lucia family.

“Don’t worry, it won’t be slow.”

Link’s voice was full of confidence.

With a clear direction, a complete plan, advanced equipment, and plenty of manpower, how could they slow down?

The progress of the research would be like a rocket, reaching the sky in a swoosh.

“That’s good, I’m looking forward to your results.”

Elise was very pleased with Link’s response.

She liked people who were confident in their words and actions.

But not like Monroe Brisegio, who thought he was mature and wise and had everything under control, but made mistakes in almost everything he did.

That wasn’t confidence, it was arrogance and pride.

Therefore, after the major competition between the two districts was over, when Monroe’s clan elders learned about how his actions led his team into a trap, almost destroying them, they severely punished him.

Now he’s still locked up in confinement and can’t come out.

Pushing aside her thoughts, Elise focused her wandering attention, looked at the reserved young man in front of her, and smiled gently.

She suddenly had a mischievous thought, so she said: “I have another secret to tell you, lean in closely.”

Link instinctively sensed something was off and refused: “Just say it.”

“But what if someone overhears?”

Elise said with a troubled look, “If it leaks out, it will be highly unfavorable for you.”

Link carefully sensed and didn’t perceive any murderous intent, hostility, or even a trace of malice from Elise.

Only a hint of mischief.

After some hesitation, Link still took a step forward, turning his face to Elise, ready to listen carefully.

Elise’s mouth curled into a smug, devilish smile. Her plump, flame-red lips moved closer to Link’s ear and she whispered:

“There should be distance between men and women. Tell me, do you think Jasmine Kidman would be jealous?”

With that, she planted a kiss.

A bright red lip mark was left on Link’s cheek.

The kind that doesn’t rub off.
