The first two types were to make someone sink into a deep sleep and make someone excited, respectively, so Alexander guessed that the third kind should have an effect in the middle of the spectrum.
That was only his guess, to which Lily shook her head decisively. "No! You won't be able to guess it. The third kind is poison."
"Poi-” Alexander's eyes grew wider as he tilted his head to look at her, unable to joke about it. "Didn't you say the experiment was to create something that would save lives, lessen the patient's pain, and expose the public to the benefits of medicinal herbs?"
"That's what they said, but they also said that poison is a type of medication."
"Nonsense!" Alexander was furious. ‘What's all that cr*p they're talking about?’
Lily chuckled. "Not entirely. Some medicinal herbs are poisonous, but that doesn't mean they can't be used to treat illnesses. If it's used correctly, it'll be able to save lives as well. We're trying to add a medicinal herb with poisonous properties to the fragrances. The idea is to completely cover up the smell of the herb to the point where consumers won't even detect it. I just feel uncomfortable about this idea."
“Anyone would feel the same as you! It'll be great if it can save someone's life, but what if it's used to harm other people? This invention will turn out to be an invisible weapon."
When Lily mentioned that the institute's project had some problems and that she wanted to stop it because she felt that something was off, he just listened to her and respected her opinions. However, he did not expect this to be what the experiment was truly about!
Although he was no expert in the field, the idea sounded dangerous.
"No, the experiment has to stop! I'm going to withdraw my investment immediately!"
After all, his company invested money in this project. If he were to withdraw his investment now, they would need to stop the experiment, regardless of their willingness.
"I don't think they'll stop even if you do that. They'll probably try to get other investors or find other ways to fund the project. It's been a long time since the experiment's conception until today, when its research phase began. I can see Professor Thompson's determination about this, and I'm sure he wouldn't give up so easily."
“Let them find other investors then. I wonder if anyone dares invest in their project without my permission!"
That was the truth. With Alexander’s influence in the industry, no one would dare to invest in that without his green light.
"I saw someone when I exited the lab today. Guess who it was." Suddenly, Lily changed the topic and became all mysterious. Alexander was puzzled and just looked at her with silent confusion.
"Mike Gorden.”
"Him?" After considering it, he did not find it surprising for Mike to be there. "He wanted to be part of the project initially. Are you saying that he'll invest in it? That's not a big deal. I need to talk to him about it, and it'll be settled."
After all, Alexander and Mike had known each other for years. Even if Mike wanted to be a part of the project, he was a businessman and would give up after assessing the situation, as it was a high-risk project with an unclear direction, not to mention dangerous.
However, Lily had a different opinion. "He seems to be pretty interested and persistent about this project. I thought he had given up on it because he didn't mention it this time, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. He must have reasons for visiting the institute, and it won't be as simple as what we think it is."novelbin
