Chapter 422: The Fish Takes the Bait

Elsa sat beside Tina, looking somewhat uneasy, seemingly still feeling guilty about the events of yesterday. Tina paid her no heed, glancing at Elsa with eyes as pink as strawberry cake before standing up. Elsa suddenly called out to her, "Tina." With a smile curving her red lips, Tina's bright eyes flashed with disinterest, "What is it?"

Elsa stood up, walked over to her, and lifted her shirt. On her slender waist, there was a hideous black scar-a knife wound, poisoned. Clenching her fists, Elsa explained, "This is from when I fell into an enemy's trap during a mission. I still suffer from the pain, especially on rainy days when it becomes unbearably sharp."

"Tina, I'm not trying to gain sympathy. I just want to tell you that we've risked our lives for the organization to successfully develop a defense against the enemy's biochemical weapons."

"So, on behalf of the organization and the country, I invite you to join our fight!"

Tina's gaze lowered to the scar on Elsa's waist, clearly seeing its authenticity. She grasped Elsa's wrist, checking her pulse. The poison had been in her system for years, indeed causing much suffering.

Tina casually took out a healing pill and placed it in Elsa's mouth, "This poison isn't hard to cure. Come see me once a day."

After a pause, she added, "I'm quite interested in what you've said. I'll give it a try."

Elsa, taken aback, looked at her in surprise, "You mean-you agree!"

Tina nodded slightly, "Yes, but if your experiments don't meet my standards, I'm out at any time."

"Great. You'll definitely find our experiments interesting," Elsa smiled, "I'll notify the organization and see when they can take you to the lab."

With that, Elsa entered the room. Tina watched her door, her lips curling into an almost imperceptible smile. She took out her phone and texted Jared, "How's it going?"

"Missed, what about you?"
