Chapter 372
Chapter 372:
Sloane stepped forward with a vial of medicine in hand. She fitted a syringe with the vial and was just about to
administer the injection when she paused and addressed the judges. “Dear judges, the extent of this mouse’s
injuries is insufficient. To fully showcase the effects of our medicine, we need to add more injuries to its facial
area.”
Khloe’s expression darkened, while Charlotte couldn't contain her anger. “She’s trying to modify the testing
conditions for the mouse at the last minute, specifically targeting the sarea we've planned to use for our
experiment. This is clearly intentional.”
Charlotte stood up sharply, saying, “I object! The Illusion Laboratory did not propose any changes to the
experiment’s setup beforehand, violating the principle of fairness that governs this competition!”
“I haven't compromised fairness. I'm merely aiming to more effectively demonstrate the capabilities of our
potion,” Sloane retorted, smiling sweetly while locking eyes with Khloe. “Khloe, does this scare you? Are you
worried that our potion outperforms yours, and that’s why you oppose our use of the sexperimental area?”
“The quality of the potion should be measured by its results, not by claims,” Khloe replied evenly, then directing
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther words to the judges. “Sloane’s last-minute alteration to the experimental setup fits the description of
‘temporary changes to experimental conditions’ outlined in Chapter 11, Article 11 of our rules. Such alterations
by any team should result in a warning and a five-point deduction.”
Sloane, visibly angered, was taken aback. She hadn't anticipated Khloe’s precise knowledge of the rules or her
ability to leverage them effectively. Her strategy to undermine Khloe was on the brink of collapse.
The judges looked at each other, uncertain of the next steps.
Whitney narrowed her eyes, assessing both Sloane and Khloe. “Sloane, your request to modify the experimental
area at the last minute is indeed inappropriate. As per the regulations, a five-point penalty is warranted.”
Charlotte and Sylvie exchanged a quick, hopeful glance. Just as it seemed Whitney would enforce the penalty,
she added, “However, the aim of our competition is to determine the best biopharmaceutical solutions for
widespread diseases. If you insist it’s to better illustrate your potion’s effectiveness, | will permit the change of
body part.”
“How can this be?” Sylvie blurted out in dismay, but Khloe gestured for silence.
“Everyone here is aware of the chief judge’s character in our field. It's best not to challenge her,” Khloe said
calmly.
A wave of recognition washed over Sylvie. She had nearly forgotten Whitney's reputation for being
uncompromising. Challenging her often resulted in harsh repercussions. Whitney held considerable clout,
rightfully earning her the title of the industry’s queen.
“But we can’t just accept this setback,” Sylvie said.
“Absolutely not,” Khloe replied, then turning to Sloane. “If Illusion Laboratory is permitted to switch their
experimental body part, then it’s only right that Oasis Laboratory receives the sopportunity. That's the only
way to ensure fairness.”
A grin spread across Sloane's face, and she quickly replied, “Absolutely! I'm all in, Khloe. | have no doubts about
our potion’s superiority. Unlike sof your team, I'm not insecure about the competition.”
Sloane’s smug demeanor was enough to make Charlotte and Sylvie’s stomachs turn, but Khloe’s face remained
an impassive mask of cool detachment.
“Very well, let's proceed,” Whitney said, settling the issue and authorizing both teams to modify their testing
body parts.
Silence fell as Sloane meticulously began the process of injecting the potion into a lab mouse’s facial area.
As the solution penetrated, it seemed to work wonders. The previously frail and wounded mouse began to
change before their eyes. Its injuries healed rapidly, and its labored breathing stabilized and strengthened,
showcasing the potion’s remarkable effects.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithin moments, the mouse, previously suffering from a broken jaw, was up and moving as if the injury had
mended almost completely—likely over ninety percent recovery.
