Chapter 733 Terrible Jealousy
Eamon was in a bit of disbelief after seeing the advancement list. âThey actually won!â
Unlike last time, after the doubts from last time, no one questioned the strength of the Styre Team this time. The match progressed smoothly.
The Styre Team won the advancement card and would stand at the top of the third-round final to challenge the champion team.
Seeing Marshall appear, Eamon immediately came forward. âProfessor Hartley, did you see Marlon?â
Marshall gave him a suspicious look. â Why are you looking for him?â
âI havenât seen him since the match was over.â Eamonâs eyes lit up at the mention of his junior brother, Marlon Pratt. âProfessor Hartley, our team is really amazing. We have all kinds of talents. Originally, I thought that Catherine was already very powerful, but I didnât realize that Marlon was also so powerful. He really surpassed us.
Marshall smiled coldly and said expressionlessly, âMarlon is too tired. He overachieved today and asked to go rest as soon as the match was over. Iâve already asked him to go back to the hotel to rest. You guys donât come to bother him, okay?â
âOkay, I got it. Marlon did have a long day today. We should let him rest more. I wonât go bother him!â
âYou keep an eye here. Iâll go to the hospital to check on Catherine!â Marshall rushed toward the hospital after explaining.
He still did not know what was going on over at the hospital. This matter was getting more and more complicated, and his heart was always filled with worries.
In the laboratory, Fergus took the blood sample he got from Catherine and put it into the laboratory equipment for testing.
When he got the data results, the smile on his face could no longer be concealed.
Connie happened to see this scene when she entered the door. She asked casually, âProfessor Lynch, what is it that makes you so happy? I can tell that youâre happy!â
Fergusâs eyes flickered for a second. Then he resumed a calm face. âIâm checking the data of Catherineâs blood sample. The neurotoxin is well controlled in her body, which means the antidote I developed earlier is working well. Iâm so happy about it.â
âProfessor Lynch, you are truly a great mentor. Catherine is not your student, but you are so dedicated and hardworking to help her. Youâre so admirable!â
Fergus proudly raised his eyebrows. He said calmly, âSheâs also a student of Styre University. Thatâs what I should do. Thank you for your praise! You can leave and do your things. Iâll send these data to some authorities in the industry to discuss it again.â
When Fergus left the laboratory, Connie immediately went up and imported the data inside the computer.
Although the data had been deleted artificially, Fergus did not know that they had long ago tampered inside the computer in advance.
Fergus had deleted the data, but after deleting it, the data would be automatically transferred to a memory card that had been set up in advance.
Connie only needed to retrieve the memory card and replicate the data inside.
After getting the data, Connie restored the laboratory to its original state.
Looking at Fergusâ desk, a sinister smile appeared on Connieâs face.
Connie thought to herself, âYou want to fight our boss? Youâre still too weak. Catherine has always been very cautious in her actions. Youâre just a small fry. You donât even deserve her attention.â
After coming out from the laboratory, Fergus did not let the car that the school had prepared for him to pick him up. Instead, he took a taxi by himself and set off.
When he arrived at the appointed place, he met the man who was in contact with him. After sitting down, Fergus could no longer control his emotions and revealed a ferocious face.
âProfessor Sterling, didnât we have a deal that you would let my team advance and let Marshallâs team fail? I even poisoned Catherine, as you requested. Why did you betray me?â
Atticus looked very calm in the face of Fergusâ anger.
He slowly put down the newspaper in his hand and stared fiercely at Fergus.
âDonât forget the agreement between you and me is that only one team from the Styre University could be advanced. Fergus, it was you who didnât do your job well enough to let Marshallâs team advance, and you still dare to yell at me?
Fergus was calm in the face of the questioning.
He did not feel guilty at all. He retorted forcefully, âItâs because the people youâve arranged for are so bad. Catherine didnât even compete, but you guys still couldnât win Marshallâs team. You guys are losers!â
âHumph!â Atticus sneered. His eyes looked up and down at Fergus with disdain. âWe are losers? Are you sure itâs not you and your team who are the losers? You all got the exam questions in advance, yet you still failed. You guys are just utter losers!â
Fergus could not lift his head at Atticusâs rebuttal. Fergus originally intended to make a name for himself by advancing so that he would not be overshadowed by Marshall at Styre University. However, he never expected that his dream would ultimately fail.
Over the years, Marshallâs reputation in the university had always overshadowed his. Marshall was more valued by their leaders, and he even got promoted faster than Fergus.
Whenever there was a big event in the university, Marshall would be the one to attend, and it was not Fergusâs turn at all.
But in Fergusâ eyes, he was the professor who contributed the most to the university, while Marshall was just relying on his research project.
Fergus originally wanted to take advantage of the success of the Bide Cup to win back his defeat, but he did not expect the people from his team who participated in the competition to be so unimpressive.
After thinking for a long time, Fergus finally accepted the fact that they had failed. âProfessor Sterling, I did everything you asked me to do. Marshallâs team was able to advance because they were too strong. Since I did what you asked, shouldnât you honor the payment you promised me?â
âFergus, weâre old friends. I know exactly what you want, and you should understand what I want as well,â said Atticus.
Fergus hesitated for a moment but still handed over the data. âThis is the data I just got. The blood sample is from Catherine.â
Hearing this, Atticus immediately became interested. He reached out to take the data in one hand and checked it carefully.
After checking the data, a strange smile appeared at the corner of Atticusâ mouth.
âFergus, you did a great job. The payment I promised you will be credited to your account on time.â
Knowing that his conditions could be met, Fergus could no longer conceal his excitement and happily shook hands with Atticus.
âProfessor Sterling, donât worry. As long as I can receive the payment on time, I will definitely cooperate with you properly!â
Atticus raised his eyebrows, with an intriguing strangeness and eerie look in his eyes. âHope we can have a nice cooperation!â
Fergus left happily after receiving a satisfactory reply.
Atticus was left alone. Looking at the information Fergus brought in his hand, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
Atticus thought triumphantly in his heart, âFergus, youâre an idiot. You donât understand the importance of Catherine at all. Hahaha, with just a little money, I can easily solve Catherine. This is really enjoyable.
Next, Iâll watch Catherine lose little by little. Catherine, even though youâre a genius and you have a backer like Branden behind you, so what? This is not Eskana. Itâs Alton, my place. Since you dare to come, I can make you enjoy yourself here.â
