Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1690

A beat of heavy silence stretched across the comms line.

Then, a voice as cold as ice cracked through the static. "Go confirm right now if The Panacea is actually in the laboratory."

Director Silas Kaelen's stomach plummeted. A cold sweat broke out across his spine.

Something was wrong. Terribly wrong. Otherwise, The Commodore would never personally intervene to question The Panacea's whereabouts at a time like this.

He instinctively looked up at the security monitors, his gaze locking onto the black static obscuring the lab's feed.

The Med-Tech Quarantine was already in an uproar over the Living Assets. Yet The Panacea remained completely out of sight.

Her camera feeds were blocked, and her communication lines had been entirely severed.

Kaelen pictured her face—strikingly pale and brooding, yet undeniably arrogant.

Ever since she boarded Project Zero-Transit, she had been nothing but trouble. Her audacity knew no bounds.

She had repeatedly tested the limits of their rules, dancing right on the edge of the ship's authority.

Every incident, every minor infraction, began to string together in his mind.

Kaelen's heart seized. A terrifying realization crystallized in his thoughts.

What if her excuse of going into the lab to synthesize a serum was just a smokescreen?

What if she wasn't in there at all?

The hum of the synthesis equipment could just be an elaborate diversion!

And the sudden riot outside, the chaos surrounding the Living Assets...

Could she be behind all of it?

The mere thought sent a suffocating wave of dread washing over him.

If she had slipped away on his watch and caused enough chaos to alert The Commodore...

He would be a dead man walking.

Kaelen turned pale, his fingers trembling as he gripped the comms device. "Sir, please rest assured. I will find a way into that laboratory immediately."

"I will confirm if she is still inside!"
