He was still waiting on his informants to see if they could trace Camila's whereabouts. As long as they were still in Azmar, they had better chances at taking her back.

“How could the Vice-President be so careless?" Josiah lamented. Just then, Alick arrived with the man in question, the Vice-President of Hammaslahti.

He was a man who enjoyed a high status, and wielded the power and influence that came with. Alick stood back, and kept watch, in case the man tried to flee.

Contrary to his expectations, the Vice-President clasped his hands behind his back and calmly sauntered into the room.

Unable to help himself, Josiah rushed forward and demanded, “You made a promise that you will keep this research a secret until the right time comes! What the hell did you do?"

The other man shrugged with indifference. "If the research becomes successful, it would be published, anyway."

“Is this your research result said when I gave you the data!"

Josiah seethed. "That's not what you

“What was it that I said?" The Vice-President was unfazed.

Josiah gritted his teeth. What blatant deceit!

“Are you telling me that you've forgotten? According to our deal, this research will be limited to the staff of Hammaslahti. Word must never get out! So explain to me, why the hell it was published exactly one day after we established that agreement?"

The Vice-President gave him a look and sighed.

“But what? You'd better give us a proper explanation, or I will never let you walk out of this room on your own two Legs. Mr. Johnston here might do even worse!" Josiah was using Isaac's name to threaten their common enemy.

The Vice-President turned to Isaac and frowned in confusion.

What did it have to do with him?

“Mr. Johnston, I understand that you have significant contributions to making this year's symposium possible. I'm sure that everyone involved is grateful for your generosity. But I don't see how this particular affair is any of your business.”

“The person who acquired that information is Jane Perez, an attending doctor at Madeline. She used to be called Camila, and she is also Mr. Johnston's wife. Do you still think it isn't any of his business? Because of your greed and ambition, Camila was taken away by the people of Madeline. What do you propose we do about it now?"

The Vice-President was a prominent figure in the medical field.

But Isaac didn't take him seriously.

The Vice-President knew what he had done, and that he had done it for selfish reasons. Never had he imagined that things would turn out Like this.

“Tell us everything you know, right now!" Josiah growled.

The Vice-President was reluctant at first, but he eventually gave in.

“This... It was decided by the institute as a whole..."

“Bring me the President." Isaac immediately barked at Alick.
