The Time Sage secures a double kill

The tidings relayed from the Alt Division indicated that Mr. Mist had left no trace of peril within the samples.

The restorative surgery for Miss Celine commenced with methodical precision.

Following the inspection of the nanomedical robot samples without any issues, and after a series of intricate adjustments, this pinnacle of scientific achievement from the Weiting Consortium was directly applied to Miss Celine's person.

Though Miss Celine herself harbored no particular expectations, the efficacy of the nanomedical robots indeed surpassed the expectations of everyone, including Jonas.

Initially perceived as imperfect for a prototype, this sample, in reality, exhibited remarkable adaptability and potential even as a prototype.

With the assistance of the nanomedical robots, the surgery for Miss Celine was consummated satisfactorily.

And her condition underwent a considerable amelioration.

However, due to the side effects of the prototype, Miss Celine also entered a transient dormancy.

In other words, perhaps Jonas can only truly fulfill his champagne promise once Miss Celine's dormancy concludes.

This left Jonas somewhat disheartened.

Um, it's not about nurturing any illusions concerning sisterhood. After all, he's not devoid of principles. But what should be said must be said, and commitments made must be upheld. How can acts of mutual consent be deemed ignoble?

Very well, let's refrain from discussing Miss Celine's affairs for now.

Weiting Consortium, Alt Division building.

In the office of the Cyber Security Department.

Miss Ellis, adorned in a pair of petite leather shoes, was seated on the newly replaced sofa, gently swaying her delicate feet.

Meanwhile, Jonas was seated not far from the maiden, engrossed in perusing the new discourse sparked by the Semicolon Forum.

In truth, this could be considered a topic instigated by Mr. Jonas himself, as all the materials and premises were furnished by him, with Nidhogg merely providing some refinements.

Yet, the subsequent repercussions of this matter caught Jonas somewhat off guard.

Initially perceived as mere prelude to the launch of the nanomedical robot project, who would have anticipated that the discourse on this topic would become so extensive, even inciting a series of creations from the vast online community.

It must be conceded, the creative prowess and inspiration of idle netizens are top-notch; within just one day, the content created by netizens transitioned from sorrowful tales among sisters to hellish jokes and memes.

Among them, the most iconic is undoubtedly "The Unavoidable Story Between Miss Esni and Her Superior".

The gist of it goes: 'Miss Esni, you wouldn't want your stepsister to lack the funds for treatment, would you?'

Um, whether from a pragmatic or satirical standpoint, this hellish joke can easily rank within Jonas's top three.

Because it's an occurrence that genuinely transpired.

Ahem, though upon seeing these, Jonas's heart felt not a trace of guilt.

On the other hand, seeing the smile on Jonas's countenance, Ellis tilted her head in confusion, evidently unaware of what misdeeds Mr. Jonas was contemplating.

A rare opportunity for the two to be together, Ellis's heart was thoroughly content.

She cautiously drew closer to Jonas, and upon realizing he didn't mind, she began to be more daring.

The maiden slowly shifted her body until she was nestled against Jonas, then extended her hands to embrace him.

Burying her head in Jonas's attire, the maiden felt completely fulfilled.

And at this moment, Jonas finally became aware of the maiden's actions, somewhat helplessly tousling her head and asking, "Miss Ellis, what are you doing?"

"Nestling in the essence of Mr. Jonas," she murmured indistinctly as she hugged him.

What in the world is the essence of Mr. Jonas?

Though uncertain of what the maiden was thinking, Jonas understood that after not seeing him for so long, she might engage in some perplexing behaviors.

Thinking this, Jonas suddenly felt deeply sinful.

After maintaining this peculiar posture for a few minutes, Ellis could no longer contain her breath and raised her head, her complexion slightly flushed.

"Is the replenishment complete?" Jonas asked with a smile.

Ellis hesitated for a moment, then stuttered, "Not... not yet."

"What do you plan to do next?"

Upon hearing Jonas's words, Ellis seemed to receive encouragement; she kicked off her petite shoes with a nudge of her feet, then straddled Jonas's lap.

"Is this permissible?" Miss Ellis's tone was somewhat nervous, her hands at a loss as to where to place them.

But gazing into Jonas's proximity, Ellis's eyes faintly held some anticipation.

...............

After exiting the Cyber Security Office, Jonas proceeded directly to his own office.

As the elevator doors parted, Miss Eiffel's figure emerged before Jonas.

Seemingly sensing something, Miss Eiffel observed Jonas's somewhat disheveled hair, furrowed her brows involuntarily, then blushed slightly as if something had dawned upon her.

"Mr. Jonas does seem to be quite occupied." Eiffel remarked calmly, yet Jonas could discern a hint of jealousy therein.

Clearly, the maiden had noticed a clue, though she did not specify.

"So, Miss Eiffel, is there something you require of me?" Paying no heed to the minor emotional discord, Jonas seated himself directly at his desk and casually inquired.

Upon hearing the mention of business, Eiffel also repressed her emotions and proceeded to speak:

"It's an invitation from the Morris Consortium."

"They inquire whether you have time to attend a business conference organized by the Morris Consortium three weeks hence."

"Many representatives from eminent consortia may be in attendance."

At this revelation, Jonas paused momentarily, then queried, "Have they extended invitations to members of the board?"

"I'm uncertain, but if they've invited you first, they likely haven't invited members of the Weiting Consortium's board." Eiffel shook her head and responded.

Upon hearing this, Jonas began to contemplate.

Treating me as a representative of the Weiting Consortium... This Morris Consortium, they may harbor malevolent intentions.
