novelxo Chapter 472
Professor Miles took a few more steps forward, Rickard seemed to know that Julian was in a dilemma. He did not say anything and quietly watched as he walked over.
"How about it, Dr. Zink? Your love rival is standing over there showing off his might. Are you willing to turn all your hard work into a joke?" Riley chuckled twice. "You know, perhaps I do have my own ulterior motive, but after getting along for such a long time, I really care about our friendship. I really can't watch this timid look of yours now."
"Do you really think I won't know that you only want to use me to deal with Rickard Duval?" Julian sneered. "I know best what I mean to you. That psycho can't come back now, so you should be the person who wants to kill me the most in the world."
Riley looked at Julian with a smile for a while. "However, Dr. Zink, your actions seem to tell me that a collaboration between us is about to be reached."
"What are you two talking about?" Professor Miles saw that Julian had not caught up to him and hurried over to grab Julian. "That man, Riley, is a venomous viper, so what are you talking to him about? A person who can create a psycho can only be an even crazier psycho."
Julian pursed his lips. "Yes, professor, you're right."
"Alright, you must've suffered a lot during this time too." Professor Miles pulled Julian. "These people only wanted to heal someone's leg, yet they actually created such a huge ruckus. Geez, they almost killed me back there."
'Heal someone's legs?'
Julian lowered his gaze without others noticing it.
'It's obvious that I've been doing research in neurological drugs while being held captive at Daybreak. I thought they separated Professor Miles and me only to put pressure on both of us. I didn't expect that our purposes in the organization are completely distinct.'
"You're the doctor who texted me earlier, saying that you're able to treat leg injuries, aren't you?"
Professor Miles had rejected at least hundreds if not thousands of patients before this, and he had long forgotten about the patient who wanted to get his legs treated. However, in terms of leg injuries, he might not have had the confidence to make such a promise before, but after the past few months in Daybreak, he dared to put his reputation on the line and claim that no one would know better than him.
"That's right, and it's all thanks to you this time around, Mr. Duval." Professor Miles smiled and dragged Julian to the front. "This is Julian, my apprentice and also my assistant. I'm old now, so I'll need Julian's help in many places."
Julian looked straight at Rickard, and Rickard nodded to Professor Miles as if he did not see him at all. "You can name anything that you want. As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely help you achieve it." "Okay, of course."
He thought about what Rickard might say to him, but Julian never thought that Rickard would ignore him directly as if they had never met before.
"Okay, let's leave this place first." Rickard turned around. When his gaze landed on Julian's face, he seemed to have paused for a split second, but he did not say anything in the end and got into the car with Professor Miles.
"Mr. Duval, please do come again next time-"
Julian turned his head around and took a glance at Riley, who blew a kiss and winked at him.
After getting in the car, Rickard requested, "Please hand your cell phones over to us first, both of you."
"Why? What right do you have to take our phones?"
Professor Miles looked back at his apprentice who had always been taciturn and down-to-earth. He did not know if it was an illusion, but Julian seemed to hold a strange attitude towards Rickard. Perhaps it was hatred, but it did not quite resemble that.
Rickard gave the man next to him a look then closed his eyes and went to rest.
The person hurriedly explained with a smile, "There's a computer genius working for Daybreak. You just escaped them, so it's inevitable that your cell phone might be monitored. We brought some special equipment with us. We'll run a full inspection on both your phones."
