He pointed to Yvette, who was sitting, and asked in a shaky, stunned voice, “Marcus, how many methods can be used to verify Experiment No. 1?”

Marcus, his face serious, held up three fingers. “Three. After five years of repeated experiments, we’ve determined there are only three methods.”

Jay wiped the sweat from his brow and shook his head. “No, Marcus, there are five.”

Marcus suddenly turned his head, looking at Yvette, who sat with her legs crossed, calmly sipping water.

He and Jay were regarded as geniuses out of reach.

But today, he truly grasped the meaning of an unmatched genius.

Discovering new methods during the experiment and actually succeeding was terrifying.
