Anke quickly composed himself. He had no time to be upset; that's how it is in the league. At this moment, he should recover quickly and regain his footing.

He stands as the second-best player in the league, second only to the leader, but he is surrounded by wolves below him, and if he is not careful, he will be devoured until only bone fragments remain.

"Where is Kerry? Bring him here!" Anx slowly stood up, and the attendant beside him reached out to help him.

Half an hour later, Kerry was brought before Anx.

"I...I've met Mr. An." Kerry knelt on the ground, his head bowed, his former high spirits gone.

Anx was enraged without being intimidated; his healthy left hand pounded the table, each strike sounding like a vengeful ghost demanding death.

“Kerry! What should be done about the mistakes you’ve made?” Anx began to question him, a question he had asked countless times before.

Ever since learning that the junior researcher had escaped with the only successful experimental subject, 1021, Anx would ask Kerry this question from time to time.

During the first questioning, Kerry promised to develop another perfect experimental subject within a month.

Anx let Kerry go for the time being, but Dax Wayne did not, leaving him with only one arm for life. Therefore, Kerry should also pay the price.

"Mr. An, it was my oversight! I'm sorry!" Kerry could only beg for forgiveness; it was his student's mistake... He shouldn't have let Bion be in charge of the follow-up observation of 1021 in the first place...

Kerry was filled with regret, but it was too late to undo the damage.

Anker has always been narrow-minded. Kerry made him lose face in front of the commander, and he will definitely get revenge!

“I lost an arm, and you have to pay it back,” Anx whispered, his voice like that of a demon from hell.

Kerry shuddered. He had no choice but to plead desperately, "Mr. Ann, please let me go!"

"Only I can successfully complete the merman experiment, Mr. An!"

Anx knew, of course, that he couldn't just kill him outright; the merman experiments still needed Kerry, but he had to get his revenge.

"If you're going to experiment with my hands, then I'll break a leg," Anx calmly announced Kerry's punishment.

Kerry panicked, he'd broken a leg...

With today's advanced interstellar medical technology, who dares to take over the leg when Mr. An gives the order?

"Mr. An, please let me go! Please! Let me go—"

As Anx announced that he would break Kerry's leg, a guard stepped forward and swiftly severed Kerry's left leg.

"ah--"

Kerry screamed in agony, blood gushing out, but the people inside remained unmoved.

"Drag him away!" Anx coldly ordered. "Kerry, if you don't see a merman who has successfully transformed within a month, you can come back with your head."

Kerry was dragged out, given some first aid, and then taken to the laboratory.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Kerry's current assistant, Langdon, looked at the chief experimentalist's current appearance with concern and asked with a flicker of his eyes.

Kerry couldn't dwell on his sadness and pain; he had to pull himself together and complete the merman transformation experiment as soon as possible.

"Landon, help me to the lab." Kerry raised his hand slightly and, with Landon's help, sat in the wheelchair.

Langdon was exceptionally respectful, personally pushing Kerry's wheelchair, saying, "Teacher, I can help you!"

"Since you are unable to move around easily, please just tell me what you need."

Kerry felt a warmth in his heart. His status and position were far less than before, yet there were still people who cared about him, just as Bion had done back then…

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Bion... in the end, he misjudged him.

He initially took Bion under his wing because he thought he was honest, straightforward, and kind-hearted. But he never expected that Bion would betray him.

"Landon, have someone check if Bion has any relatives on White Star?" Kerry ordered, wanting to understand why Bion had betrayed him.

A hint of impatience flashed in Langdon's eyes, but his tone remained sincere and respectful, "Teacher, you've forgotten that Bion is a relative, he has no relatives."

Kerry suddenly realized that he had taken advantage of Bion's lack of complicated interpersonal relationships.

"Landon, and you?" Kerry asked routinely.

As his student, the most important thing is not intelligence, but loyalty.

He, Kerry, was able to maintain his position in the Alliance White Star Mermaid Transformation Laboratory because he had top-secret information firmly in his hands.

The merman transformation experiment had one crucial step that only he knew.

With this step, the experiment has a 50% chance of success; without it, the experiment will fail 100%.

Over the past few years, Björn has kept it firmly in his grasp, so his position has remained secure.

Bion had noticed this step before and had asked him about it, but Kerry brushed it off casually, and Bion didn't pursue it further.

This is also why Kerry admires Bion so much; he doesn't ask or say things that Bion shouldn't know, and he keeps quiet about them.

Upon arriving at the lab, Langdon first reported the current progress of the experiment to Kerry, then asked, "Professor, what should we do next?"

Langdon had been in the lab for five years and had naturally noticed that Kerry had something he wasn't making public, which would determine whether the experiment would succeed.

"You can go out first." Kerry secretly calculated the time. It was about time. There were thirty merfolk in this batch. He looked at the specific data of each merfolk. If they were lucky, five of them should be able to successfully transform into human form. "I'll handle the rest myself."

Langdon was getting anxious, his mind racing. "Teacher, you have difficulty moving around, I can..."
