Chapter 378 – The Envious Researcher

"It's not exactly a secret why, but it's better if the people don't know about this," the governor said. "The less the people know about Adversaries, the less fear they feel."

Nick furrowed his brows.

"The Envious Researcher is one of the Adversaries that opposes humanity," the governor said. "Aegis is not certain if it has a personal vendetta against humanity or if its way of becoming more powerful inherently makes it humanity's enemy."

"While the Envious Researcher is not responsible for many deaths, its impact on humanity is probably amongst the greatest out of all the Adversaries."

The governor looked forward with severity, but his eyes were not focused on anything in particular.

"Whenever a significant advancement in technology is produced, the Envious Researcher gets attracted."
