She wanted to portray the theft from the archives as a supernatural event, but she didn't expect to suddenly appear as a living person in public.
If she were to vanish into thin air in public, then this supernatural event would no longer be supernatural!
That's tantamount to telling the Western Empire directly that this was done by a space-type ability user!
Thinking this, Yu Mingxiang took a deep breath and puffed out her belly. "Really? I'm new here."
She curled the corners of her lips into a smile and said calmly, "I am Professor Ross's new assistant."
Upon hearing this, the man standing in front of Yu Mingxiang raised an eyebrow.
"Professor Ross's new assistant?"
He seemed to know Professor Ross, and upon hearing this, he smiled and asked, "Are you Staff?"
Yu Mingxiang: "???"
She looked puzzled when her alias was revealed.
"You know me?"
She asked.
The man shook his head. "No!"
He said, "I don't know you, but I've heard of you. A few days ago, Professor Ross said that he had received a student with exceptional research talent named Staff, and he wanted to recruit her to the research base!"
"I never expected that he would actually manage to poach the people."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Yu Mingxiang's protruding belly, and he asked with barely concealed surprise, "Are you... pregnant?"
Yu Mingxiang: "..."
Shocked by the man's words, she nodded subconsciously.
Yes, I am pregnant.
Man: "You're pregnant, so why are you still in line?"
He smiled and stepped aside, gesturing to Yu Mingxiang, "Pregnant women have priority, you can go ahead of me!"
Upon hearing his words, the people standing in front of him all turned their heads to look at Yu Mingxiang.
"Pregnant women first, Cetaphil assistant, please go first."
“We’re not in a hurry, but you seem to be in a more anxious period.”
"..."
"..."
Everyone looked at Yu Mingxiang amicably and stepped aside to let her go first.
Yu Mingxiang: "!!!"
Looking at these kind-hearted people, I felt a bit conflicted.
Science may have no borders, but...
Scientists, however, have nationalities.
Just like Professor Ross.
Professor Ross had been given leverage over something, so he had no choice but to join the mission.
According to their original plan, when they completed their mission and left the Western Empire, they would take Professor Ross with them, and then...
Help Professor Ross return to his ancestral home.
That's right.
Professor Ross was not a citizen of the Western Empire, but a scientist from an allied country of the Western Empire.
But.
As the leader of the Western Alliance, the Western Empire possesses the world's most advanced science and technology, attracting the world's most outstanding scientific talents. Therefore, Professor Ross came to the Western Empire.
He was willing to serve the Western Empire, but not the Xia Kingdom.
Therefore, the collaboration with Professor Ross was a one-off event.
After this incident, Professor Ross preferred to return to his own country and become a wanted criminal who couldn't be seen in the light of day, rather than contribute to the scientific research of Xia Kingdom.
This is something that cannot be forced.
Yu Mingxiang also expressed her understanding, but...
Looking at the scientists who were looking at her with goodwill and letting her go first, Yu Mingxiang suddenly regretted her actions.
Stealing is wrong at any time.
Although from her perspective, the Western Empire had spearheaded a war of aggression against the Xia Kingdom, causing indelible casualties, however…
She swept through...
That seems a bit too much?
I wonder if this will implicate these innocent scientists?
As Yu Mingxiang's thoughts wandered...
