The Other Side 319

Alice said quietly, "It is built upon countless failed experiments."

"Uh huh…"

"But, in any case, this boy can't be a test subject. I hope you get that clear."

It was late by the time Alice finished her meeting with Romanka. At that point, Gong Fan and Natalia had already gone back to rest.

Leaving the research lab, Alice stared after Romanka and summoned her right-hand man.

"Ricky, send someone to keep an eye on him."

"Roger." The assistant behind her was rather rigorous and asked in confusion, "Are you still worried about him?"

"Not really. Primarily, I've got to be a bit wary of that old fox Romanka!"

Alice was more than a little reluctant to hand over the boy's medical report to Romanka, but at the point she could think of no better solution than that. All she could hope for was that the old fox would come up with something useful.
