Chapter 604:

When Paul asked his question, Marissa suddenly recalled what King had shared with her. King had found something significant about the chip and promised to disclose it only after she had retrieved it.

While she didn’t know the details, she gathered that King had figured out how to crack it.

Looking confidently at Paul, she said, “Of course, we found a way to crack it.”

Paul’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Does that mean the Doomsday Base located Dr. Finley?”

At the mention of her secret identity, Dr. Finley, Marissa blinked, keeping silent to protect her hidden role. Paul continued, “I’ve done some checking. It seems nobody in the scientific world but Dr. Finley could unlock this tricky chip. If King is confident in doing it, he must be collaborating with Dr. Finley.”

Marissa pondered silently. Did Old Peacock know she was Dr. Finley? Yet, she didn’t reveal her secret identity to Paul. Instead, she replied dismissively, “I wouldn’t know about that.”

Then, with a playful look at Paul, she teased, “Now that’s settled, are you planning to snatch the chip back?”
