The maid led him to the restroom while Ralap continued to negotiate with Timothy.

As lan rounded a corner, he overheard two other maids gossiping.

"She thinks she's all that, hasn't eaten all day. Let her starve."

"Mr. Patric's lab is conveniently right next door to her room. What, are they an item?"

"Pfft, she's just one of those girls who'll hop into bed with any guy. When she arrived, Mr. Patric was carrying her in his arms, the

shameless thing."

In this place, a woman's status was pitifully low. For a woman, to be invited to a social gathering was a rare honor.

To be openly carried in a man's arms was a fantasy too bold to even dream of.

These women were thoroughly domesticated, and they naturally saw Maja as an enemy.

lan asked the maid who led the way for him.

"Have the Bradshaws had any visitors?"

"Yes, Mr. Patric is here. The master of the house insists on treating him as an honored guest. He's brought a woman with him."

A man and a woman—it had to be Patric and Maja.

After returning from the restroom, lan still stood behind Ralap.

It was clear Ralap hadn't persuaded Timothy, who insisted on waiting another month to decide.

The old man left in a huff, with a storm cloud of displeasure on his face.

lan, nevertheless, was invited to stay. His standing was well-regarded among the four great families.

Timothy was exceedingly polite to him.

"Sir, I've had a room prepared for you."

lan nodded and followed the maid to the so-called room.

When night fell and everyone was asleep, he pretended to go for a stroll.

He paused as he passed by a room with its windows sealed shut.

The windows had small holes, but they were blocked and wouldn't budge.

Peering inside, he saw the curtains half-drawn and a person clearly lying on the bed.

He stood there a long while until the person in the bed finally stirred.

The first thing Maja did upon waking was rush to the bathroom to vomit.

Ever since Patric had forced that unknown drug on her, her stomach had been in knots.

The door leading to the adjacent lab was shut, and the lock was on the other side.

Whoever was next door could enter her room at any time.

After Maja finished, she felt a gaze upon her.

Her sharp eyes turned toward the window, where a silhouette was reflected in the curtains.

She approached slowly. As soon as she parted the curtains, she heard a voice coming from outside.

"Sir, what brings you here?"

lan turned; without saying anything, he walked away.

Maja watched his retreating figure, with her brows knotted in concentration.

lan had recognized that the person inside was Maja, but with Patric at the Bradshaws' and his objective unknown, he had to be

extremely cautious.

"Just taking a walk."

The maid didn't suspect, and remained in a respectful demeanor.

"Sir, if you're hungry and would like a snack, just let us know."

lan nodded and continued to his room.

As he neared the corner, Patric approached from the opposite direction, with Timothy by his side. They were still discussing matters

at this late hour.

Timothy was surprised to see lan, having assumed he'd be asleep by now.

Patric also noticed the man in the black cloak and immediately fell silent.

Timothy greeted lan with a smile.

"Sir, not asleep yet?"

lan's voice was three degrees lower than usual.

"Can't fall asleep."

With a nod, he headed straight for his room.

Patric watched his back, with a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Mr. Bradshaw, is he the guy who trades medicines with the families?"

"Yes, he's been our contact for years."

Patric stood there and seemed contemplative.

"Mr. Patric, if you can develop that drug you mentioned, the Bradshaws will surely rise to the top of the four great families. And we

can provide you with those bipeds you want, anytime."

Patric's desire for bipeds had a dual purpose: to show he was no different from the families as to treating ordinary people like

livestock on the one hand, and to prepare for his upcoming experiments which might require these subjects on the other hand.
