Chapter 1318 Regret

• Under the scorching noon sun, an unusual scene unfolded at the gates of the typically tranquil research center.
• "I made it clear during the call, Mr. Gardner. I relayed your urgency and mentioned your need to speak with Miss Miller, but she's currently overwhelmed with work. The research center is currently dealing with several pressing issues. I hope you understand, Mr. Gardner," the security guard said, his tone a mix of exasperation and respect. He knew that if he didn't, there was a high chance that Colton wouldn't leave without kicking up a fuss.
• Seemingly struggling to accept the reality, Colton released his grip on the security guard and took a few steps back. "Alright. I understand," he murmured and nodded like a possessed man.
