Chapter 21 Starting from That Mushroom
"Master Quinn!" Criffin's voice was full of flattery.
"It is truly a great honor for us to have you personally visit our humble research branch to provide guidance!"
He stood up and glanced at An Zhi quickly and eagerly.
"Seeing that you are more elegant than ever, I can finally put my mind at ease after years of worrying about you!
That... well, that little ideological disagreement between you and the Godfather really scared everyone in the organization.
He paused, shook his head and sighed, as if he was still frightened.
"Fortunately, a dragon wouldn't be stuck in the shallows for long. Aren't you back now?
And when he came back, he brought such an incredible gift!"
His eyes once again turned greedily to An Zhi, as if he was looking at a rare treasure:
“The value of this generous gift is immeasurable!
This is definitely a key step for you to return to the core and take control!
Those short-sighted people who think that your temporary departure means you have lost power are simply foolish!"
Criffin's tone became more and more excited.
He knew that this person could not remain silent on this remote garbage planet forever.
When the old godfather was furious, how many people thought that Master Quinn was completely finished, and were eager to distance themselves from him, or even to add insult to injury?
Young Master Quinn was the successor chosen and personally trained by the godfather who ruled the underground kingdom, but he was exiled for ten years due to a serious conflict with the person in power.
In this era where the average life expectancy is two to three hundred years, what does ten years mean?
Humph, a bunch of idiots!
No matter how many factions there are within a huge gang, aren't they all ultimately firmly controlled by the old godfather?
Think about it, who else besides Young Master Quinn could be called the 'only favorite' and 'designated heir' by the old Godfather's side?!
Criffin was able to climb from an ordinary researcher to the position of supervisor thanks to his precise vision and judgment of the general trend.
Over the years, I have been carefully keeping in touch with Master Quinn through secret channels, regularly passing on valuable intelligence about the Junk Planet. This loyal investment has finally seen the light of return today.
Judging from Master Quinn's aura and methods, it is a foregone conclusion that he will return to the core power circle ahead of time with such an important "experimental subject".
Those short-sighted people who betrayed him and mocked him can now wait to be liquidated.
Criffin was internally calculating his political capital and bright future with pride. His smile grew even brighter, and he bent deeper, making a "please" gesture.
"Master, everything is ready inside, waiting for you. I promise to devote all the resources of the center to uncover the full secrets of this 'gift' for you!"
Quinn's facial expression hadn't changed at all since he entered the passage.
He listened to Criffin's long speech of compliments and uttered a short syllable through his nose with extreme indifference.
His slender fingers casually tapped the cold metal wall beside him.
Quinn ignored him and walked straight to the core experimental area.
Criffin quickly stood up and trotted behind to lead the way, his face full of unconcealed pride. He seemed to have already seen the glorious scene of himself following the young heir of the Godfather back to the core of power and trampling his former rivals underfoot.

An Zhi was forced to sit on a metal chair.
The chair back and armrests instantly popped out of restraints, clicking and locking her wrists and ankles.
The mushrooms were scooped up and placed on another table.
Criffin stood behind the console, rapidly tapping the floating light screen with his fingers.
"Vital signs recording. Baseline mental fluctuations. Suppressor activated."
Researcher B picked up a device with several long, thin probes. "Induction testing begins. Prepare to activate healing products."
He extended the probe towards An Zhi.
"Wait a minute." Quinn stopped from behind the one-way glass.
“Start with that mushroom.”
