Verdy pushed up his glasses, his tone carrying a hint of threat: "Even the Speaker cannot stop me from reporting the situation to Mr. Siegel afterwards."

Siegel Klein is Lux's biological father and the biggest investor behind SDS.

Kijima couldn't help but laugh out loud. Verdy's expression was just like a child about to tattle on something to his parents.

Lux simply smiled and said, "Doctor, I don't think this operation was a waste of resources."

"Oh? What's the reason?" Verdy crossed his chubby little arms, looking like he was waiting for an explanation.

Kaori Tachibana, unable to bear seeing Lux being harassed, spoke up directly: "The reason is simple. This kid is a self-awakened Devil Fruit user with extremely strong mental power. He can also control wind magic and has powerful healing abilities."

"Shouldn't the doctor who studies Abyss items understand the value of this complex ability?"

The inherited blessings that grant abilities are at least level three Abyss items, and higher levels are also quite common.

Items below level three will disintegrate and become unusable once empowered.

Therefore, every level 3 or higher legacy abyss item is a core asset of major organizations.

"A powerful inherited blessing? It can grant unrelated composite abilities, so it must be at least a Level 4 dangerous item, right?" Verdi pushed up his glasses and instantly understood Tachibana Kirika's implication, as well as the reason why Lux had gone to such lengths.

"That certainly makes using Research Lab Zero worthwhile." Verdy had to admit that if it involved Level 4 Abyss items, such an arrangement was perfectly reasonable.

As long as the fluctuations in Luo Tian's abilities are detected, given his methods, he will eventually be able to pinpoint the special wavelength of that level-four item, and SDS will gain another core piece of equipment.

As for who gets to keep the props, Lux can arrange them however she wants. He only cares about the research opportunity and has no interest in ownership.

"It's good that the Doctor understands." Lux breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew very well that she wasn't good at forcing others, and if Verdy insisted on refusing, there was nothing she could do.

Intuitively, she believed that Luo Tian was trustworthy and many arrangements were made in accordance with his temperament, but others might not understand, so she was always worried that Verdy would strike.

"Perfect timing. The testing equipment we're using this time is the latest research result. Let this special kid try it out, and we can collect another set of special data."

To Verdy, who was already over forty years old, Luo Tian was a junior, and Verdy always referred to him as "kid".

Verdy snorted and stretched out his short hand to press the remote control in front of him: "Lie down in the middle of the machine, just lie flat, don't worry about side effects."

If the equipment I developed has any severe side effects, I'll be the first to die.

Through the one-way transparent glass, Verdy could clearly see that Luo Tian seemed to be looking at him through the window before obediently lying down in the large device that resembled a CT scanner.

Verdy frowned. This glass was a specially made type that blocked mental energy, so how could it still allow someone to look directly at him? Was it a coincidence, or was there something really strange about this kid?

He looked at Lux with a puzzled expression, and after receiving a nod, he pressed the start button on the device.

As Luo Tian was taken into the equipment center, Verdy narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the screen on the table.

Kikumi glanced at the various data panels she couldn't understand at all and sighed, "It feels so much more advanced than when I was here last time. Don't you researchers ever encounter technical bottlenecks?"

Lux, who was subtly implied, could only keep smiling.

Just then, a cry of alarm suddenly rang out: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This is not data that a human should have!"
