Chapter 434: Compromise...
Shi Ya remained silent.
Seeing this, Professor McKin sighed and said, "I understand your desire to continue your research. Dina is just taking over your work; she still has much to learn and lacks in many areas. She really needs your help, so you can stay in the laboratory and assist her to complete it."
Shi Ya’s face remained cold, and she scoffed internally. So, after seizing her ideas and creativity, they still wanted her to assist Dina? To squeeze out all her value?

The headquarters of Macken Laboratory was located at Yunding Star, at the edge of the Sixth Star System, bordering the Seventh and Eighth Star Systems. Situated precisely at the triangle junction of the three Star Systems, the area was often plagued by pirates... which made it extremely dangerous, yet for a research institute like Macken Laboratory, the greater the danger, the safer it was.
