137: Chapter 136 Unexpected

Chapter 137: Unexpected

Upon hearing Daphne's words, Byron did not immediately agree. His hand movements paused slightly as he fell into silence. Daphne also noticed Byron's change, and the joyful anticipation in her heart instantly vanished, turning into a sense of dejection.

However, she still forced a look of indifference on her face, looked up at Byron, and smiled.

"If Master finds it troublesome, you don't have to agree to Daphne. Daphne can actually just wait outside for Master; there is no need to enter the Laboratory area with Master."

"After all, Daphne has never been into the Laboratory area before. Going in would just be causing trouble for Master, and I wouldn't be able to help with anything."

Although Daphne said this with her mouth and forced a smile on her face, a look of disappointment and dejection appeared in the depths of her eyes.

Just as Daphne was feeling dejected, Byron revealed a smile, and the hand he had placed on Daphne's head rubbed her hair vigorously.

"You say you don't care, but the disappointment in your eyes cannot be hidden."

"Also, when have I ever refused Daphne? You really love to let your imagination run wild."

Hearing Byron's words, the previously disappointed eyes of Daphne instantly burst with brilliant light, and the smile on her face was filled with happiness and excitement.

"Master... does Master mean that you agree to let Daphne enter the Laboratory to help you?!"

Byron nodded: "That's right. Since Daphne wants to work, how could I, as her Master, refuse?"

Having said this, Byron changed the subject.

"But after entering the Laboratory, Daphne must not say that working is too tiring or that she doesn't want to do it. Furthermore, once that happens, there will be even more things for Daphne to learn. I wonder if Daphne will be able to handle it."

Daphne nodded vigorously: "Master should not underestimate Daphne. Daphne is very capable and will definitely be able to help Master!"

"Besides, Master, Daphne learns things very quickly; I definitely won't hold Master back!"

Byron nodded with a smile: "That's good. It seems that in the future, Daphne will be able to save me a lot of trouble when conducting experiments."

Daphne: "Yes, Master!!!"

After talking for a while longer, Byron walked outside.

He had come out of the Laboratory today because he had other more important things to do.

Thinking of that piece of news, Byron could not help but feel excited.

After waiting for so long, he was finally able to see the results. He just didn't know what his harvest would be, but he hoped it wouldn't disappoint him.

However, just as he walked out of the Laboratory, Byron saw two acquaintances.

They were none other than Klevin and Andrei, the two people who had piloted the ship that brought Byron and the others into the academy.

Upon seeing these two, a question arose in Byron's mind: Why were these two here, and what business did they have with him?

It wasn't that Byron was narcissistic, but when Byron saw Klevin and the other, they also saw Byron, their eyes lit up, and they walked straight toward him.

There was no one else nearby, so when Byron saw them acting like this, he naturally assumed they were coming to find him.

Klevin and Andrei stopped in front of Byron, smiles appearing on their faces as they looked at him beamingly.

Klevin was the first to speak, greeting Byron with a smile: "Byron, long time no see. To think that after only three years in the academy, you have reached this stage; it really makes us feel ashamed."

Andrei also nodded in agreement: "From the first moment I saw you, I could tell that you were different from mediocre people like us. You are a true Genius!"

"But I never imagined that in just three short years, you would have made such a name for yourself in the academy. It's simply inconceivable!"

Some of these words were deliberate flattery, while others were heartfelt, as they had not forgotten the purpose of their visit.

Thinking of what their leader had told them, the two couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Sometimes, the gap between people is truly greater than the gap between a person and a dog!

Hearing the endless stream of praise coming from their mouths, the corners of Byron's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't seem to be that close to these two, did he?

Furthermore, when they were on the ferry, these two had focused their attention on those students with higher Aptitude; the number of words they had spoken to him could be counted on one hand.

Something is definitely fishy!

As for the sense of superiority and enjoyment brought about by the fact that people he once had to look up to were now speaking words of flattery and obsequiousness to him...

Sorry, but Byron did not feel a shred of such feelings.

In fact, as Byron listened to them, a sense of impatience grew in his heart, as he felt this was just a waste of his time.

After all, these feelings were far inferior to the excitement he felt when achieving a Breakthrough in his experiments.

Besides, he had more important things to do later, and he didn't have time to play house with these two here. It was better to just speak directly.

Thinking of this, Byron looked at them expressionlessly: "You two must have something to find me for; otherwise, you wouldn't have figured out the location of my Laboratory."

"I haven't told many people where my Laboratory is. To think that you were able to find out; you must have spent quite a bit of effort."

"Also, I have important things to attend to later, so please just say what you need to say. I won't invite you two inside, so as not to waste either of our time."

Hearing Byron's words, Klevin and Andrei were taken aback. They hadn't expected Byron to be so direct.

However, they did not show any displeasure or leave. Instead, the smiles on their faces became even broader.

Klevin: "Byron, you have a sharp eye. It's no wonder you've made such a big name for yourself. I am truly impressed now. We really do have something to find you for this time."

Having said this, Andrei continued.

"Byron, you can rest assured. We are not the type of people who don't know what's good for them. As long as you are willing to agree to our request, the compensation will definitely not be small, and it's even possible there will be a premium."

Klevin: "And this matter has great benefits for you—in fact, only benefits and no drawbacks."

Andrei wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Byron waving his hand.

Byron looked at them: "What is your purpose in coming to find me? Please state it immediately. If you continue like this..."

"...then I'm sorry, but I really have very important things to do, and I must leave first. As for your objective, you'll have to wait until you run into me next time."

Hearing this, Klevin and Andrei swallowed the words they were about to say.

They could feel that Byron was not joking, but was serious.

If they dared to say one more word of nonsense, Byron might really just turn and leave.

If that happened, they would be in a real bind.
