Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 659

Professor Bowes shook his head. “According to the data analysis, the structure of a substance in the potion is quite similar to that of an unknown substance we tested before.”

“Continue your research then,” Lucas said coldly. “Start with the molecular formula.”

“You make it sound so easy!” Professor Bowes picked up the cup and took a sip of the thick coffee. His mustache moved as he spoke. “In order to analyze the two substances before, the entire research and development team spent three whole years. Hundreds of people went through thousands of extraction experiments. How can we get the data so easily as you said? You should put yourself in our shoes.”

Lucas looked up at him, saying, “Tell me, how much money do you want this time?”

Every time Professor Bowes complained about how many difficulties he was facing in his research, he was about to ask for a huge amount of money.

“Well, you know that this kind of test cost a lot. Without money, we can’t get any data. As for the research and development fee… the more, the better.” Professor Bowes chuckled and stretched out a finger. “How about you give us 10 million dollars first?”

Lucas glanced at him and then took out his phone to call the bank. “It’s me. Help me transfer 20 million dollars. Yes, to the same account as the last time.”

Hearing that, Professor Bowes was super pumped.

However, there was a trace of regret amidst his excitement.

If he had known that Lucas would agree so easily, he would have asked more earlier.

Lucas casually spun the phone on the table. “I’ll give yoù enough funds. But you’ll have to figure out what the unknown substances are.”

Professor Bowes poured a cup of coffee for him and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll do our best.”

There were still two substances that they hadn’t had the analytical data yet.

Every time, the extraction experiment ended in failure. Having no choice, they could only use the st*pidest method, which was to screen and compare tens of thousands of herbal medicines.

This method was also the most expensive.

Lucas glanced at him and said in a cold voice, “Report to me at any time if there’s any progress.”

“Got it.” Professor Bowes replied.

Standing on where he was, Professor Bowes watched Lucas leave, the flattering smile on his face fading
