Even though the person was wearing a white mask, Sylvia Thompson recognized her.
It was…
It was Viola Thompson.
Sylvia couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Her blood seemed to rush backwards, and she staggered backward several steps.
Fortunately, Xavier was behind her and managed to steady her by her waist.
Xavier lowered his voice and asked, “Sylvia, are you okay?”
“I…I’m fine.” Sylvia tried to calm herself down. She first looked at Edward Bankston and Viola in front of her, then turned to Xavier. “Brother, is that girl…is she Master J?”
Xavier also looked up, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. “Master J shouldn’t be that young, should she?”
The girl standing with Edward, though her face was obscured by a mask, emitted an aura that suggested she couldn’t be older than sixteen or seventeen.
Could Master J be this young?
“Perhaps she is Master J’s assistant.” Xavier added.
Sylvia nodded.
Yes.
She must be the assistant.
How could Viola possibly be Master J?
It couldn’t be.
A country bumpkin like her, who was still a high school student, couldn’t be.
Who is Master J?
A renowned giant in the world of biology!
Comforted by these thoughts, Sylvia felt a lot better.
Not just Sylvia and Xavier were curious.
The other members of the lab were also very curious.
Who exactly was this young girl?
Even if she was Master J’s assistant, it would still be impressive.
After all, Master J is no ordinary person.
At this moment, Edward led Viola forward to meet everyone.
“Let me introduce you. These are all members of the Sight Restorer Plan and also part of the Capital City branch of KV research lab. Here is the team leader Xavier, deputy leader Charles Martin and Sylvia Thompson, our lab’s only female member.” After introducing them, Edward continued, “This person is Master J.”
A silence fell over the group of people at these words.
Master J?
Master J is so young!
And she is a girl.
Sylvia’s position in the KV research lab had already been quite challenging, as it was rare for women to achieve much in biology.
Surprisingly…
The well-known Master J turned out to be a young girl.
More importantly, Master J seemed even younger than them.
This was horrifying.
It was truly horrifying.
Especially for Sylvia.
She almost couldn’t believe what she had heard.
Master J was her idol.
But now, her idol turned out to be a small town girl from the countryside!
This was almost too much for her to accept.
Why was Viola better than her?
Viola should be beneath her feet.
This must be a mistake.
Without a doubt, it was a mistake.
Viola could not possibly be Master J.
She must be an imposter!
Viola had simplified things too much. She actually thought anyone could merely pose as Master J. Sylvia wanted to see how Viola was going to solve the experimental problem they had run into.
The purpose of Edward’s meeting with Master J was not as simple as presenting a bouquet of flowers.
Seeing everyone’s stunned expressions, Edward laughed, “Actually, when I first saw Master J, I was the same as all of you.”
Deputy leader Charles Martin finally came back to his senses and approached Viola with the flowers he had prepared.
“Welcome, Master J!”
“Thank you.” Viola replied calmly, reaching out to receive the flowers Charles Martin handed over.
Simultaneously, the others released the multi-colored ribbons they had prepared.
Bang!
The multi-colored ribbons danced in the air, landing on Viola’s head and shoulders.
“Welcome, Master J!” Everyone shouted in unison.
They were quite excited too.
On one hand, they finally met Master J in person.
On the other hand, they hadn’t expected Master J to be so young.
“Master J, please come this way.” Edward extended his arm in invitation.
Viola nodded slightly and stepped forward.
Edward and the members behind him quickly followed.
Edward introduced the structure of the research lab to Viola.
Viola retained every detail in her mind.
Sylvia narrowed her eyes. “Mr. Bankston, we have limited time. Let’s have Master J check the issue with our experimental cells?”
She was going to expose Viola’s deception herself!
Edward nodded, recalling the crucial matter at hand. “Master J, this way, please.”
Viola followed Edward’s lead.
The Sight Restorer Plan had reached its most critical step.
However, a new issue arose during the cultivation of the cells, resulting in a large number of cells dying on the transplant.
“Master J, take a look!” Edward pointed at the specimen on the lab table.
Edward continued, “For some unknown reason, no matter what we do, the cells can only survive for a week on the transplant.”
