It irked Arius to see Marcus talk to Barney that way. In a brusque tone, he uttered, “Mr. President, you’re the one who invited us here, and may I point out that we didn’t promise we’d be able to solve the situation before coming here. You’re the one who begged for our help, so you should start acting like someone who needs our help!”

Seeing Arius take that attitude, Marcus’ secretary, Jamie, stood up immediately. “What did you say?”

“What’s the matter? Did I say anything untrue?” Arius retorted, his voice clipped. So what if he’s the president?

“How can you talk to the president like that? This is Anglandur. If you dare to utter another word, I can make it so that you won’t be able to leave the country,” Jamie threatened haughtily.

“Hah!” Sophie could not help sneering. We’ve been buckling down day and night, but these people still have the guts to show up here and waste our time. I’ve had enough.

“If you think we can’t do it, we can leave right now,” she said icily.

Seeing that, Marcus tried his best to calm down, then slapped his secretary. “Is that how you should talk to Professor Gullifer?”

Jamie dared not say anything after getting slapped and stepped aside silently.

“My apologies. I was just too anxious. You’re also aware of my situation, and I was only hoping you could speed things up a little.”

“Mr. President, you should also be aware that scientific research isn’t something where we can control its speed,” Barney replied, sticking to his previous answer. In fact, no one has any control over it!

“If you have nothing else to do, start thinking of ways to manage the current state of affairs on the ground instead of coming here to berate us!” Sophie snapped.
