Chapter 708:

Finally, she lazily lifted her eyelids, her voice slicing through the noise.

“Enough. The hour starts now.”

The nagging from Fleming, followed by this barrage of chatter, was beginning to wear on Harlee’s nerves. If she had known it would be like this, she might have thought twice before agreeing to come.

Her curt command left the room stunned.

Unbelievable.

Her arrogance knew no bounds!

Bruce paused for a moment, his gaze darkening.

“Fine. See you in an hour.”

Harlee said to Fleming, “Fleming, let’s go track down Aurora and the others.”

Harlee’s casual remark left the room in stunned silence.

Fleming? This woman dared to call him by his first name? Was she truly acquainted with Fleming? Her confidence suddenly made sense. Without hesitation, a few wary individuals retreated to their desks, quietly resuming their tasks. It was clear they wanted no part in the unfolding drama.

Crossing Fleming could mean an appeal to the head dean, Moses Olson, which was a hassle no one wanted.

Still, not everyone focused on the peculiar familiarity in Harlee’s tone.

From within the crowd, a strong voice rang out.

“Aurora? You mean the star of the core department, Aurora Brewer? Do you actually know Aurora?”

Murmurs spread as speculation filled the room.

At that moment, Fleming’s expression hardened.

His sharp gaze silenced the chatter.

“Why are you still loitering? The hour’s begun.

Get to work on gathering your experimental queries. Why are you still standing?” Fleming paused, his voice turning colder.

“Or is this how the department operates? Shall I have Moses reevaluate how he’s overseeing you?”

Faced with Fleming’s commanding presence, the group swiftly dispersed, each hurrying to appear busy at their stations.

“Take note, this is a rare chance. Next time, you won’t find it so easy to have her resolve your issues,” Fleming added with a parting glance.

His tone was measured, yet carried a weight that no one dared challenge.

With that, he led Harlee out of the department.

Fleming had hoped his sister could inspire these scholars to improve, but their attitudes left much to be desired. Perhaps it was time to have Moses push them harder.

“Fleming?” Harlee called out, snapping him out of his thoughts.

“Alright.”

“Let’s move on.” Setting his musings aside, Fleming decided to let Moses handle them some days later.

He held on to a shred of hope that these scholars weren’t entirely beyond reason.

With countless thoughts swirling, Fleming opened the door to the core laboratory, and the two of them slowly disappeared from everyone’s sight. Only after Fleming’s departure did the room come alive with whispers again. Seeing him actually bring a stranger into the core lab, some were dissatisfied.
