Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 431

Marina grabbed the woman’s neck.

She was so strong that the woman couldn’t break free from her grip at all.

The woman found it hard to breathe and her face blushed from lack of oxygen.

“L… I’ve never seen him, really.” Even so, she still refused to admit that she had seen Marina’s brother.

Marina did not want to waste any more time on her. She grabbed the woman’s hand and pressed it against the table.

Then, she took out a dagger from her shoe and thrust it into the woman’s palm.

Marina moved so quickly that everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The woman didn’t even have time to resist before her palm was nailed to the table..

Watching the blood ooze out of the wound, she realized what had happened and inmediately let out a scream.

“I told you that I had an explosive temper. Why didn’t you take my words seriously?”

Marina slowly approached her, looked into her eyes, and said word by word.

The woman grew even more flustered.

“I’ll ask you one last time. Think it over before you answer me. If I can’t get any useful information out of you, you’re useless to me.” Marina threatened.

The woman was still clinging to a scrap of hope of getting away with it. However, when she looked at her pierced palm, she finally believed that the group of people in front of her was definitely not easy to deal with.

If she did not do as they said, she might really die.

“I… did see him. After hesitating for a long time, the woman finally told the truth.

“Where did you see him? When? What did you two say and do back then?”

Seeing that the woman finally give in, Marina continued asking.

“He… came here out of the blue and kidnapped many lab technicians in our laboratory.

“He forced us to give him our latest research results.

“But that’s what achieved after years of hard work.

“More importantly, we worked for our boss.

“If we gave the research results to him, our boss would definitely kill us,” the woman said in a trembling voice.

“What happened next?” Marina’s tone became more stern.

So far, everything was almost exactly as she had predicted.

“We reported it to our boss. We don’t know what happened after that,” the woman said, crying.

“Are you sure every word you said is true?” Marina stared at her coldly.

Before the woman could speak, Marina added.

“You should know the consequences of lying to me.”

“I swear I’m not lying to you. We really don’t know what happened after that.

“Think about it. We’re just lab technicians, and our job is to do experiments.

“That man is so powerful that he abducted more than half of the lab technicians without alerting anyone. How can we be a match for such a person?”

The woman looked at Marina in horror and almost burst into tears again.

Marina gazed at her for a moment. After confirming that she was not lying, she took out another photo.

“Have you seen this person?” This time, the person in the photo was Peter.

The woman stared at the photo for a moment, then shook her head.

“I’ve never seen this man before.”

Marina fell silent again.

The woman’s legs began to tremble.

Tm not lying, really. I’ve really never seen this person before,” she said in a trembling voice.

“You should know her, right?” Marina took out Sharon’s photo. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The woman looked a little flustered.

Marina noticed the change in her mood at a single glance.

She held the dagger with both hands and spun it.

The woman let out an ear–piercing shriek in pain.

“Don’t play any tricks in front of me. If you want to live, answer my question honestly!” Marina spat out the words slowly.

“L.. I know her.”

The woman’s forehead was covered in sweat. Obviously, the pain was unbearable.

“Tell me about her in detail,” Marina said in a deep voice.

The woman’s lips moved as if she wanted to say something.

However, she did not know where to start.

Or maybe she did not dare to say it.

After all, the research in their laboratory could not be made public.

“Now that we already found the lab, do you think I don’t know what you’re developing?

“Hurry up and say it. I don’t have so much time to waste on you!” Marina spun the dagger in her hands again.

The intense pain finally made the woman compromise.

“She’s an experimental subject in our laboratory!” she roared.

Hearing that, Marina stopped what she was doing.

The woman gasped for air after the intense pain disappeared.

“What research did you do on her?” Marina continued to ask.

This time, the woman did not hesitate and quickly answered her question.

“She’s a guinea pig in our genetic advancement program.”

“Continue!” Marina looked down at her.

“Everyone in the lab is working on the genetic advancement plan. We’re researching how to make human genes stronger.”

The woman did not dare to hide anything from Marina.

“So you incorporated animal genes into human genes and turned those experimental subjects into monsters?”

Although she had already confirmed this before, Marina still couldn’t hold back her anger when she heard what the woman said.

“The plan requires someone to sacrifice. We’re researching this for the sake of the entire human race,” the woman immediately defended herself.

“You really know how to flatter yourself. For the sake of the entire human race? Are you doing this for the sake of the human race or for your own interests?”

Marina sneered.

The woman still wanted to say something, but Marina did not want to hear any more of her hypocrisy.

She said, “Did you fail on the modification of Sharon?”

“Yes, she’s just a half–finished product in our laboratory.

“One of the lab technicians made a mistake and she took the opportunity to get out of the lab.

“We’ve been looking for her, but we haven’t found her yet.”

“So, you guys have no idea that she’s still alive?” Marina narrowed her eyes.

“Well, we lost all information about her after she escaped the lab.

“It wasn’t until… the man in the photo you showed me just now appeared that I knew… that she was still alive.” The woman nodded repeatedly as she spoke.
