Chapter 469: Shi Ya
Yunding Star.
At nightfall, lights twinkled warmly in every home across the planet, yet the sky above the heavily-guarded Macken Laboratory was pitch black. On the nineteenth floor underground, Shi Ya’s face was cold as she looked at the flamboyantly dressed woman across from her, her dark eyes were as deep and still as water.
Dina raised her eyebrows, hands on hips, "Assistant Shi, are you sure you’ve handed over all your work? Really, without holding anything back?"
Shi Ya’s chilly gaze shifted upwards, and after a few seconds rested on Dina’s eyes. Then, curling the corner of her lips slightly, her tone steady and flat, "The same question, this is the fourth time you have challenged me today. Are you not confident in your own comprehension? Or are you worried that you are not capable enough to take over my work? What do you think I could hide? What could I keep back? Or..."
Shi Ya abruptly stopped, suddenly stood up, and leaned a few inches closer to Dina, her eyes flashing with an icy and bone-chilling chill, "Or— to put it bluntly, you couldn’t even understand an answer I’ve repeated three times, should I suggest you get a new brain instead?"
Dina’s mouth stiffened, and just as she was about to curse out loud, the coldness in Shi Ya’s eyes made her suddenly feel a chill over her whole body...
In that moment, the normally inconspicuous Shi Ya transformed into an unsheathed sharp sword, her presence overwhelming like a rainbow, pressing Dina so hard she couldn’t catch her breath!
Dina’s pupils contracted slightly:
This person, Shi Ya, who usually wouldn’t utter a word more than necessary, would not add a third word if two could suffice. She always seemed like an average researcher, seemingly disinterested in anything beyond Mecha research...
Over the past two months, Dina had made many underhanded moves in secret. On a few occasions, she directly bullied Shi Ya, but Shi Ya didn’t react at all, which emboldened Dina. Relying on Professor McKin’s favoritism, she even cultivated the ambition to seize the new Mecha project from Shi Ya’s hands.
And she had succeeded, much to her delight.
At the same time, Dina’s contempt for Shi Ya grew even more!
