On the Ark.

Mostima narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly, "What do you think?"

Five seconds later, Lin Ye realized something, suddenly raised his head, and stared blankly at Mostima.

Then Mostima came forward.

Chapter 635 Untitled (Happy Children's Day)

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected this."

"I never expected this."

"I never expected this."

"I didn't expect this, no..."

Looking at Nian, who was shaking his head and repeating the same sentence over and over again beside him, Lin Ye finally lost his temper: "Are you ever going to stop, you bastard?"

"It's not over yet." Nian was completely unafraid of Lin Ye. With her hands behind her back, she slowly said in a tone that was very infuriating, "I really didn't expect this."

What didn't you think of?

“I never imagined you would do something like that,” Nian said. “It’s unbelievable.”

Lin Ye really wanted to pinch Nian's face, just like Misae did to Shin-chan, since Nian looked really annoying right now. But he wasn't Misae, and Nian wasn't Shin-chan; if he acted rashly, he would only be the one who suffered. So he suppressed the urge to hit him and tried to reason with Nian: "Don't keep saying things that are misunderstood. I haven't done anything wrong, okay?"

“That’s because they didn’t do anything,” Nian said. “Male will remain unmoved when faced with a female throwing herself at him; there can only be some physical attraction…”

"Can you please stop talking nonsense?" Lin Ye felt a headache coming on. "This matter isn't as simple as you think. Mostima, she... um? Wait, how do you know so much about this? Did you watch from the sidelines the whole time?!"

Realizing this, Lin Ye glared fiercely at Nian.

Nian, on the other hand, acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Of course, I was watching from the side. I was waiting for you to make a move, but who would have thought you wouldn't do anything at all."

Lin Ye was speechless. He had to rub his temples to calm himself down a bit.

Just over ten minutes ago, Mostima suddenly threw herself at him and even said those seductive words.

For Lin Ye, a virgin who has lived two lives, the impact is no less than that of a little boy arriving on an island.

But nothing happened.

“Mostima doesn’t want me involved in this,” Lin Ye said. “She said she can handle it herself.”

Nian glanced at Lin Ye: "So what do you think?"

“If she could handle it, that woman named Diana wouldn’t have called me here,” Lin Ye said in a low voice. “Although Mostima herself said it was no big deal, the elders of Laterano are obviously not so easy to talk to, even though I haven’t met them yet. And Mostima has a lot of things she hasn’t told me, such as Exusiai’s sister.”

"You rejected her body, so of course she doesn't want to tell you."

Lin Ye got a little annoyed: "Can you please stop talking about this?"

"Fine, don't tell me then." Nian shrugged, looking indifferent, and even yawned. "Anyway, it's your business, do whatever you want. I'm going back to sleep."

Lin Ye and Nian left home in the evening, and it is now close to midnight.

When Lin Ye returned to the hotel, he thought everyone else had already gone to sleep, but to his surprise, everyone was waiting for him in front of his room. When they saw him return, they all visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and then Ansel walked up with a gloomy expression.

"Where have you been?" Ansel demanded. "Why didn't you answer your phone?"

Lin Ye was stunned for a moment before realizing that his phone was broken. So he apologized and took out his broken phone to show Ansel.

"Sorry, Nian and I wandered around the neighborhood and lost track of time." Lin Ye skillfully handed the pot to Nian. Nian couldn't help but roll her eyes, but didn't say anything. After all, she was a freeloader, and occasionally she would have some sense of responsibility to take the blame.

"Strolling around a strange city this late, Doctor, you certainly have the leisure for that." A female voice, unfamiliar to him, came from behind Ansel, carrying a hint of sarcasm. Lin Ye looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall woman walk up to him, extend her hand, and then briefly introduce herself, "Huang, it's nice... well, not really nice, but at least I've met you, Doctor."

煌？

Lin Ye didn't know who this person was, but fortunately Andre Cher explained in time. This was an agent who was originally scheduled to arrive tomorrow, but had arrived early.

From this, Lin Ye could guess the source of her displeasure. The other person had arrived half a day early, but he wasn't there and couldn't be contacted. Although it wasn't intentional, Lin Ye still apologized again.

“Although I don’t want to emphasize things that are meaningless,” Huang said, “I still want to remind you, Doctor. Lateran is not as friendly as you think, especially to the Infected. I know you are not Infected, but please understand that if something happens to you, we, as Infected, will not be able to provide you with adequate support, nor will we be able to search for you in the city in a big way.”

Lin Ye raised his hand with a helpless expression: "I understand, I promise I won't do it again."

"It's good that you understand." Huang nodded, then turned and left.

Throughout the entire conversation, she exchanged fewer than ten sentences with Lin Ye, but it must be said that she had already left a deep impression on him.

"Huang?" Watching Huang's departing figure, Lin Ye vaguely felt that he had seen this name somewhere before.

After thinking for a moment, he remembered that it was the address book that Kal'tsit had given him before, and Huang's name was on it, and it was very high up in the list.

In other words, is this an operator of the same rank as Skadi?

...But does Rhodes Island have that many operators of the same strength as Skadi? If so, that's terrifying. Can it really still be considered a pharmaceutical company?

Just as Lin Ye was pondering, Andercher walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't mind her, that's just how the boss is. If it weren't for her status preventing her from moving around the city so freely, she would have gone out to find you long ago."

"Big Sister?" Lin Ye turned to look at Andercher. "You mean Huang?"

“Yeah, who else could it be but her?” Andersel shrugged. “Don’t let her appearance fool you, she’s actually a very gentle person.”

"I see, I understand." Lin Ye nodded. "This time it was indeed my fault, it won't happen again next time."

“It’s good that you have the intention,” Andrcher said with a smile. “But compared to the big sister, Dr. Kal’tsit is much calmer, as if she knows you very well.”

"Kal'tsit found out too?"

“Yes,” Andrcher said. “She also said that new people would come looking for you.”

Chapter 636 You're Going to Die

Lin Ye failed to get the answer he wanted from Mostima. Mostima's enthusiastic attitude towards him was more like that of a caring older sister comforting a child, saying things like, "Sweetie, I'm very touched that you came, but you shouldn't get involved in my affairs," which made Lin Ye quite depressed.

After all, no man wants to be treated like a child by a woman his own age, but he couldn't do anything about it, since Laterano wasn't his territory. Of all the Laterano people he knew, apart from that woman named Diana, none of them could offer any help, and he couldn't be sure how much of what Diana said was true and how much was false.

So, even though he came to help, he felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he couldn't do anything, which made him feel uneasy. Therefore, he decided to wait until he met the elders of Lateran the next day to make a decision.

So, after a rather unforgettable night, Lin Ye slept rather restlessly, and was dragged out of bed by Nian before dawn the next day. Perhaps because she had slept for too many years in Yan Country, Nian was now incredibly energetic, and insisted that Lin Ye accompany her to breakfast early in the morning, which left Lin Ye feeling quite helpless, yet he couldn't do anything about it.

Fortunately, Andercher appeared in time and informed Lin Ye that it was time to see the elder.

Lin Ye was still a little confused: "So early?"

Andercher said, "Elder Kieran is always an early riser. This is his morning exercise time, and he occasionally handles some... well, affairs at this time."

Lin Ye sensed a hint of embarrassment in Anderscher's tone. He was initially puzzled, thinking that this elder surnamed Ji was quite diligent.

But after a while, he realized that handling business during morning exercise was a bit too informal.

Moreover, why would a normal person call their business partner over early in the morning to discuss cooperation? That would be clearly disrespectful.

In other words, the elder named Kieran may not have regarded Rhodes Island as an equal business partner.

To confirm this, Lin Ye asked Andercher, "Did that elder named Kieran also receive the Rhine Life people in the same way?"

This question made Andrej even more embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly, "Well, Doctor. To be honest, I didn't expect Elder Kieran to pull this stunt. We were originally supposed to meet in a more formal setting."

"So it seems we were indeed underestimated."

“Then what should we do?” Andrcher asked. “Should we refuse their invitation? Or should we contact Dr. Kal'tsit first?”

Lin Ye thought for a moment and said, "Let's not notify Kal'tsit yet, there's no point in doing so. Since we've come all this way, we should at least meet with this old man first and see what his attitude is."

Andercher nodded slightly: "Alright, I'll go and reply to Elder Kieran's... uh, Elder Kieran's messenger."

The "Old Man of the Ghibli" in this world didn't have any special meaning, so Anderchel just found it a bit strange and didn't know that this was Lin Ye's small revenge, although it seemed a bit like self-indulgent. Afterwards, Anderchel went to reply to Old Man of the Ghibli's messenger, while Lin Ye tidied his clothes and left the house, where he then saw Huang waiting at the door.

"Are you kidding me?" Huang saw Lin Ye and asked bluntly, "You're going to do this? They're clearly disrespecting us."

Lin Ye could see a hint of anger in Huang's expression, but he knew that the anger wasn't directed at him.

"Since we're already here, we can't just leave without doing anything," Lin Ye said with a smile.

Even if the other side doesn't take us seriously?

“They have no manners, but we can’t be uncultured,” Lin Ye said. “If they really don’t respect us, wouldn’t it be better to refuse them to their faces than to angrily turn around and leave?”

Huang was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Lin Ye to answer like that.

She frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say that Lin Ye was being unreasonable, but somehow, it sounded somewhat reasonable; at least she couldn't find a point to refute it. So after a moment of silence, she said in a low voice, "Whatever you want, but I can't go to that place. They don't welcome infected people."

"Then you can just wait here for our good news." Lin Ye still had a good impression of Huang. Apart from his somewhat impatient personality, he always considered Rhodes Island's interests in every aspect. So he comforted him, "Leave it to me, I'll handle it."

"I hope so," Huang said, then turned and left.

Nian teased from the side, "I always feel like you, a PhD, have no authority whatsoever."

Lin Ye coughed twice and said in a deliberately serious tone, "Majesty isn't about tone of voice. What do you, a little brat... what do you know, you grown-up divine beast?"

Nian snorted coldly, then poked his waist. Although the movement wasn't big, Lin Ye still felt his ribs were severely injured, and he grimaced in pain.

Half an hour later, as the sun began to rise, they arrived at the residence of Kieran, one of the elders of Laterano.

This elder didn't live in the city center of Laterano, but in a luxurious villa in the suburbs. The servants in the mansion were all Sarkaz, each radiating an aura of grandeur, as if they had entered paradise.

Lin Ye stared at the female angel in her nun's habit in the reception room for a while before finally meeting the owner of the mansion—Elder Kieran.

This was an elderly "angel." Although Lin Ye didn't want to use the word "angel" to describe him, the other person did indeed have a halo around his head.

Logically speaking, the words "charitable" and "kind" are most suitable to describe an elderly person of this age, but Lin Ye simply couldn't sense this quality in Old Ji. The moment Old Ji entered the room, Lin Ye was struck by a strong sense of arrogance that shouldn't be present in an elderly person.

"Are you the Doctor from Rhodes Island?" Kieran sat down in front of Lin Ye. Although Andre said that he was doing morning exercises, Lin Ye did not see any signs of sweat on him. On the contrary, he looked like he had just gotten up, because he was still wearing his pajamas.

It seems the other party really has no sincerity in cooperating.

Lin Ye sighed softly to himself.

The first task Kal'tsit gave him was so difficult; being a Doctor is indeed not an easy job.

Just as Lin Ye was pondering what tone to use to reply to Kieran, Nian suddenly said lightly, "Kid, your time is up."

Lin Ye was stunned.

Kieran frowned slightly: "Your time is almost up? What do you mean?"

Nian explained earnestly, "It means you're going to die."

Chapter 637 You Have This Kind of Illness

Just as Lin Ye was pondering how to proceed with this seemingly difficult business collaboration, two sentences from the young woman startled him so much that he almost bit his tongue.
