Chapter 150 Dianaâs pov âI donât understand. Since youâve already compromised and agreed to develop the antidote for William, why wonât you try now that thereâs a way?â
In the office, Moss frowned, his eyes behind the lenses staring straight at me.
âThings arenât as simple as you think...â I licked my dry lips. âI admit, adding a large amount of catalyst âcan indeed quickly develop an effective antidote, but...â
âBut what?â Moss interjected.
I furrowed my brows. âBut there are risks.â
Moss sneered, âSo is it risky to add a large amount of catalyst, or do you simply not want the antidote to be successful?â
âMoss?â I widened my eyes in surprise. âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â
âIs it nonsense?â Mossâs narrow eyes narrowed even more. âHealer, donât think I donât know what youâre up to! Are you trying to spite William? You donât want him to get the antidote smoothly!â
âIâm not, Iâm just-â
âDonât try to evade!â Moss roared, picking up his cup and slamming it hard on the floor.
He glared at me, gritting his teeth. âDonât forget, William said if you canât develop the antidote, then everyone in the lab will go down with you! Do you want us to die with you?â
I was stunned.
I was stunned.
From the shattered porcelain pieces, my gaze slowly moved to Mossâs face, and I said incredulously, âMoss, you didnât say this to me before. You said you wouldnât yield to William, you said-â
âThat was before,â Moss interrupted me coldly. âBefore, I thought you had enough strength to confront William. But now, even Alpha Nathan has chosen to help William! You have no chance of winning anymore! Do you want me to follow you to death?â
The office fell into dead silence.
After a moment, Moss sighed deeply, and his expression gradually calmed down.
He walked up to me, grasping my shoulders with both hands, and looked at me with pleading eyes. âHealer, I donât want to die.
Please, I beg you, stop going against William. Letâs develop the antidote sooner, so we can Smack!
I raised my hand and slapped Moss hard.
âYou disappoint me too much,â I said angrily, glaring at him and pointing at his nose. âLet me tell you, without my permission, no one is allowed to use the catalyst! If anything goes wrong, none of you can bear the responsibility!â
With that, I turned and left the office.
Moss shouted after me, but I pretended not to hear.
As I turned the corner of the corridor, I nearly bumped into someone who was looking down.
I hurriedly stepped back and found that the person was Fisher, wearing a janitor uniform and holding a mop.
I raised an eyebrow slightly and mocked mercilessly, âIsnât this our high and mighty Supervisor Fisher? How come youâve fallen to doing janitorial work?â
Fisherâs face twisted instantly, and he clenched the handle of the broom tightly, looking like he wanted to bite me to death.
Yes, this was exactly the effect I wanted.
I continued to provoke him, âI heard you were stripped naked and paraded through the streets yesterday.
How did it feel? Enjoyable?â
âHealer! Donât push it too far!â He said, humiliated and resentful.
I smirked sarcastically.
âSo what if I push it too far? Diana has already told me that after you finish your janitorial duties, sheâll send you to your death!
What can a dead man do to me?â
I laughed heartily, giving him a disdainful glare as I strode past him arrogantly.
I could feel a sharp, daggerâlike gaze piercing into my back.
After about a dozen seconds, that malevolent gaze finally disappeared.
I halted, turning to look back I saw Fisher walking ahead with his head lowered, hurrying along.
Then, he stopped in front of a partially closed door, nervously glanced around, and slipped inside after pushing the door open.
Behind that door was Mossâs office.
I smirked slightly.
I knew Fisher had stepped right into the trap carefully designed by Moss and me for him.
In fact, ever since Fisher first appeared before me, he had become a pawn in my fight against William.
If Fisher were a decent person, my plan wouldnât have been so smooth.
Unfortunately, Fisher was as selfish and greedy as William.
Ironically, he lacked Williamâs cunning and intelligence, making him a perfect fool to exploit.
I deliberately lowered myself in front of him, allowing him to mistreat me, just to make him more arrogant.
When his misdeeds were sufficient to provoke hatred, I could then appear as Diana, punishing him in the most reasonable way, implying that if he wanted to confront me, he had to prove his maximum value to William, or else death awaited him.
Then, in his despair, Moss and I staged a scene of discord, deliberately exposing false news that catalysts could expedite the drugâs development.
In order to gain Williamâs protection and survive, Fisher would undoubtedly take the risk of collaborating with Moss, obtain the catalyst, and use it to develop the antidote.
The moment he merged the catalyst with the existing experimental drugs, my plan would succeed. The catalyst wouldnât ensure the success of the antidote; instead, it would only lead to a massive explosion!
By then, all the experimental data would vanish into thin air.
As for the real data, it had been secretly transferred by Moss to our new research base several days ago.
And all of Williamâs scheming over the years, his dreams of wealth, would vanish with the explosion of the laboratory.
William couldnât blame anyone.
Because from the beginning, it was he who had placed the fool Fisher by my side.
Me, Moss, and all the researchers in the laboratory would be innocent âvictimsâ who were implicated. William not only couldnât vent his anger on us, but he also had to treat us well and beg us to help him recover all the experimental data.
s control.
However, the time to recover all the experimental data was no longer within his During this time, I could easily manufacture the antidote at the new research base and distribute it worldwide.
By the time William realized it, everything would be set in stone.
Back in the hospital lounge, half an hour later, I received a message from Moss âFisher has obtained the catalyst. Before work tomorrow, he will enter the lab and put the catalyst into our samples.â
â
âI understand,â I replied and turned off my phone.
Walking to the closet, I opened the door and took out an iron box.
Inside the box were five smartphoneâsized rectangular explosives prepared by me days ago.
The power of the catalyst alone was not enough to destroy the entire lab.
To ensure the destruction of all data and any evidence that might be discovered, external forces were needed.
-Such as these explosives.
I hardly slept that night.
When the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the floorâtoâceiling windows, I had already entered the lab.
After waiting patiently for two hours, Fisher walked out of the elevator with a âding.â
I hid behind a pillar, about 40 inches wide, and saw him look around for a moment before pulling out a glass bottle containing a transparent liquid from his pocket and sneakily entering the lab.
Instead of following him, I stood still and listened quietly.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes... ten minutes!
Boom!
The lab exploded!
A huge shockwave hit me, and I heard a deafening blast.
Flames spread from the interior of the lab, and the piercing sound of alarms rang out.
But it wasnât enough.
Without hesitation messed the detonator concealed in my pocket.
Almost instantly, the explosives I had planted in various comers were detonated.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Like fireworks, the explosions accompanied by flames surged like a red tsunami, threatening to engulf the world.
The thick smoke choked me, and I covered my nose and mouth with a damp towel prepared in advance, sticking to the wall as I ran toward the emergency exit.
Suddenly, my steps halted.
I wasnât sure if it was due to oxygen deprivation that I had a hallucination.
At the entrance of the emergency exit, through the fiery red sea, I seemed to see... Nathan!
