A Deal
Felix and Tyler had been engaged in a conversation with Freya for quite some time. So, gradually, their
guard began to lower.
“Miss Kaufmann, you are behaving just like Marie-Antoinette. As a top medical professor, you naturally
have access to any funding you desire. Moreover, you hail from a wealthy and influential family.
However, the situation is vastly different for us. Our families are not financially well-off, and the medical
funding we receive is solely for research purposes. We cannot utilize it to improve our living
conditions.”
Meanwhile, Freya felt utterly disgusted by their desire to use official medical funding to enhance their
living standards. How could they even entertain such thoughts?
They even had the gall to look wronged.
Tyler, who was standing beside them, also played up his resignation regarding his circumstances.
“Miss Kaufmann, you do not understand the difficulties we have faced. Besides, you should know that
being a medical student is not an easy life. Plus, you have to understand that our decision to pursue a
Ph.D. and engage in post-doctoral research only added to our burden. So, even though we’ve finally
become professors after years of hard work, we aren’t exactly overflowing with money.”
Freya had to fight down a disdainful sneer. If they had developed any useful drugs, they would have
received substantial subsidies and bonuses from the government.
In the end, greed was just another facet of humanity.
“So, is this Icy Sea business profitable?” She had an interested gleam in her eyes as if she was
genuinely interested in the matter.
The two of them brightened upon hearing her inquiry, wrongly assuming that she was also intrigued by
such an easy business opportunity.
So, they exchanged a discrete glance before Felix leaned closer and lowered his voice, saying
conspiratorially, “Miss Kaufmann, haven’t you heard the saying? The most profitable ventures are often
those that are prohibited by law. Since you are not familiar with this industry, you are unaware of the
immense profits involved.”
“Are the profits truly that substantial?” She pretended to be highly interested.
Felix chuckled. “Perhaps not in Florin, but this is Kundin. In Kundin, as long as you possess the
necessary skills, many influential figures will approach you with money. In fact, it gets better. The
money would keep coming because people like us are highly sought after. Plus, there’s even incentive
when we get our commissions done.”
Tyler chimed in, “Miss Kaufmann, I am not exaggerating when I say that the money we earn here in a
single day is more than what many people earn in their entire lifetime!”
Freya’s eyes turned cold. Yes, but this money is obtained at the expense of other people’s lives and
well-being! They are shamelessly at ease with money stained with blood and tears!
She inhaled deeply as she wore a hesitant expression on her face.
Felix sensed that Freya was tempted by such a prospect, so he whispered, “Miss Kaufmann, why don’t
we make a deal? If you help the two of us escape, we will undoubtedly connect you with our buyers.
You are the world’s top medical scientist. So, I am a 100% certain that you can come up with
something even more remarkable than the Icy Sea! Together, we will be an unstoppable force!”
Meanwhile, Tyler was still regarding Freya with caution.
She pursed her lips, seemingly lost in thought. In reality, she was utterly disgusted by Felix’s daring.
When Felix spoke, he was wary that he might be overheard by the surveillance cameras. Thus, he
deliberately got closer to her. As a result, she had a good whiff of his foul breath, and it was
overpowering, to say the least.
Nonetheless, she feigned hesitation as she murmured, “This will undoubtedly have an impact on my
reputation.”
“Miss Kaufmann, there’s no need to worry. You will merely be the mastermind behind the scenes. We
will be the ones at the forefront. I swear to you, only the three of us will be privy to this,” Felix rushed to
reassure her.
She could barely contain her contempt at this point. What value does an oath hold when it comes from
individuals capable of such nefarious deeds?
Hence, she did not believe a single word from people like him.
Still…
She looked at Felix and said, “I will take your proposition under consideration. However, don’t you think
you should put your money where your mouth is?”
“We are currently being heavily monitored here. How am I supposed to pull that off?” he demanded.
Then, after a momentary pause, he quickly came to the assumption that Freya desired money. “Rest
assured, as long as you set us free, money isn’t a problem!”
Finally, he held up five fingers.
Freya raised an eyebrow. These two individuals are quite wealthy indeed. “Fifty million?”
Felix and Tyler shared another glance as they smiled, clearly pleased with themselves. “Miss
Kaufmann, I meant five billion.”
Her heart skipped a beat, and her gaze turned cold.
How many ordinary families had they ruined for them to fork out five billion so easily? These two
individuals truly deserve severe punishment!
She pursed her lips and said, “Since you are unable to produce it at the moment, I suggest you give me
something else. The formula for Icy Sea would do quite nicely.”
The two men hesitated when they heard her offer.
This time, she finally gave in to the urge to sneer. “To be quite frank, there’s no need for to hand it over,
especially since it is only a matter of time before I figure out the formula. myself. However, when it
comes to your safety…”
Both of their expressions changed slightly when her threat registered their minds.
you
Although they had only been here for a few days, the two of them could already discern her position in
this horrid place.
Even though she appeared to be held against her will and made to treat others, that terrifying man also
had his hands tied as long as he desired her services. Therefore, he wouldn’t dare to do anything that
would potentially jeopardize her life.
If Freya Kaufmann held any grievances against the two of them, that man would undoubtedly eliminate
them.
As they had spent several years in the deep belly of the underworld, they had long developed the
ability to pick their battles.
Thus, Felix gritted his teeth and said, “Alright! I will write it for you once I’m free of this hell!”
Alas, she shook her head and replied, “There’s no need for that. Just tell me the components of the
drug.
So, he whispered the recipe into her ear, causing her to narrow her eyes in contemplation. After such a
merry chase, she finally had a verdict. These two individuals truly did not possess much genuine talent.
They utilized several commonly banned drugs on the market, along with some additional ingredients, to
create Icy Sea. Frankly, luck played a huge role in its creation and subsequent
success.
Once Felix was done spilling the beans, he looked at her and asked, “Miss Kaufmann, there you have
it. Are you satisfied?”
She nodded stoically.
Then, Tyler inquired, “When will you arrange for our departure?”
She let out a dark chuckle. “When have I given you such a promise?”
The atmosphere became tense in an instant as Felix suddenly jerked to his feet and exclaimed, “Miss
Kaufmann! You cannot go back on your word!”
His action was so abrupt that the guards at the door immediately raised their guns, pointing them at
him.
His face turned stark white as he glared at Freya with betrayal and fury.
In the meantime, she rose to her feet calmly and smoothened her attire, giving special attention to the
areas where Felix had breathed on earlier. Even though she hadn’t made any physical contact with
him, his close proximity to her still made her feel exceedingly disgusted.
Then, she curled her lips into a smile and drawled, “Do you really think it’s safe to speak to me like this
without the owner of this place knowing?”
Once she said her piece, she left without so much of a backward glance.
Felix and Tyler finally realized that they had been deceived. Alas, they could do nothing but watch as
she sauntered away, their faces turning pale as they understood the implications. behind her words.
They wanted to chase after her and demand an explanation. Unfortunately, they also knew that those
firearms would and could end their lives. One wrong move and their lives would be forfeit.
Naturally, it soon came to her attention that Felix and Tyler failed to show up when she had long
returned from the cafeteria to the office.
After half an hour, the office door swung open, and she looked up to see the cold machine projecting
the figure of Jamie Fraser.
She lowered her gaze and asked, “Mr. Fraser, is there something you need?”
Jamie simply strode in languidly and took a seat in a nearby chair.
“Miss Kaufmann, I have to admit that you do know how to play the game quite well.”
Freya sneered. “You could have chosen not to kill.”
Jamie only quirked his lips into a mirthless smile. “I could do that, but I still need your help.
