Meeting Briar’s curious gaze, Cyrus finally said coolly, “Joining the Supervision Department requires fingerprint and iris scans
At the words, Biriar’s eyes widened abruptly.
“What is it” Cyrus askedl
“No… nothing” Briar shook her head and followed the two insiste.
Her information wasn’t in any official databases worldwide, so even if it was recorded here, it probably wouldn’t be an issue.
Of course, if someone uncovered her identity, that would be another story.

Chapter 27
The manor was eerily quiet, but it was well–equipped.
In the study where Briar was now, a long table was crammed with about seven monitors
In the glass room on one side of the study, a massive mainframe was submerged in a water cooled casing, taking up dozens of square feet
This kind of giant mainframe was usually only found in places specializing in computer technology research.
“What’s this guy up to? Briar wondered.
“Pretty loaded, huh?” She sat in front of a computer running an automatic calculation program, glancing at the screen casually.
Is it trying to decrypt File 531 she said inwardly
“Don’t touch it” Enzo hurried over. Realizing he was too excited, he forced a smile. “Ms. Shepherd, the fingerprint and iris scanner is over there”
Briar didn’t mind it and asked slowly, This computer’s been calculating for days, right? What needs such a huge amount of computation”
“Nothing, just a number with a lot of digits Enzo brushed it off,
“I see Briar stood up and checked the temperature inside the glasshouse.
The mainframe was fully submerged in ultrapure water, which would normally keep it at a constant temperature.
But now, the glass walls were warm, indicating that if it were an ordinary computer, it would probably have smoked by now,
Enzo didn’t bother with Briar anymore, who was looking around everywhere, and said to Cyrus, “Cyrus, we’ve calculated up to the 3,000th digit but we don’t know how many more digits there are. It’s probably not less than 10.000
Hearing this, Briar commented secretly. “Great, very impressive. In just a few days, they’ve completed one ten–thousandth of the task. Pretty efficient.
Cyrus didn’t say anything. He pointed to a nearby instrument and said to Briar, Put your hand on it”
Briar nodded, silent.
Cyrus suddenly noticed Briar’s hands,
Those hands were slender, with smooth skin, just perfectly normal hands belonging to a young girl.
ry natural.
But if one looked closely, one’d notice that the joints of Briar’s fingers were shghdy prominent and not very
Especially the second joint of both index fingers, which was slightly more prominent than the other fingers
Other traces could be easily crased, but bones were hard to change, especially finger bones
Someone with such hands either grew up doing manual labor or had been undergoing intense training for years.
“What are you looking at? Seeing Cyrus staring at her hand, Briar deliberately waved it in front of him after recording her fingerprint, letting out a soft humph
“Well you
look decent on the outside, but have such a weird fetish”
Briar knew exactly what Cyrus was looking at and what he was thinking.
But sometimes, the more one tried to hide something, the more suspicious it seemed.
Cyrus suddenly asked. “My Shepherd, were you raised in Whestein region“”
“Aren’t you already well–informed?”
“The records say you were adopted by a Cordanlandian couple, but later their house burned down, and they died in the fire. After that, you lived on the streets, moving around a lot
“Yeah.” Briar looked indifferent.“1 gotta cat right! Can’t starve myself to death. Wherever I can get a full meal, that’s where I go
Cyrus raised his eyes, fixing his cold gaze on her. “Your adoptive parents didn’t just take you in; they had over a dozen kids, mostly from Estoriam.

“But most of them died one by one. You were the youngest and the only one left alive before that fire”
As soon as he finished, Briar’s smile vanished completely, her expression wiped clean.
Her fingers pressed against the table, the joints turning pale. But within just five seconds, she was back to normal.
“I don’t care how you investigate me, but I don’t want to talk about this. I hope you won’t bring it up in front of me from this moment on.”
Cyrus’s eyes flickered slightly. “Stand straight, look at the machine.”
Briar did as told without a word.
In just a minute or two, her fingerprints and iris were all recorded
The credentials from the Supervision Department were slowly printed out
Decisively, Briar pulled out a thumb–sized glass bottle, winch was filled with a vibrant crimson liquid, from her pocket.
“Drug 311 is still in R&D, not purified yet, only in liquid form. If you have time, you can get someone to purify it yourself,” she said.
Cyrus glanced at the glass bottle in his band, raising an eyebrow “Half a million dollars?”
Ji didn’t charge you; that’s just the shipping fee. Shipping fee, get it! You know where the International Medical Research Institute headquarters is?
Special air freight, crossing half the globe, of course it’s pricey!”
Cyrus nodded, then had Enzo hand over the printed credentials to Briar
“Ms. Shepherd, nice working with you” He smiled
Hearing this. Briar became a bit suspicious. “Aren’t you worried I might misuse the credentials from the Supervision Department
The documents were provided by Cyrus, and if anything happens to me, he’ll be implicated as well. Is he really worried about it? she wondered.
But Cyrus just looked at her calmly. “The Supervision Department’s credentials only work within Cordanland”
In other words, as long as triar stayed in Cordanland, she was still within the Supervision Department’s jurisdiction.
As for abroad, no one would care if you were from the Supervision Department.
The next day, another day of boot camp came to an end
This was the final d
I day of boot camp for the freshmen of Limond University on campus.
Early tomorrow, they would board buses to head to the training base on the outskirts of Limond.
The freshmen around were buzzing with excitement, totally oblivious to the pitying look from the upperclassmen
Meanwhile, Briar, already in her dorm, was chilling in her chair, scrolling through her phone..
Fox: [Snake, I’m in Limond now, you excited?]
Black Mamba What are you here for!]
Fox: Just here to chill, plus I’ve got a company in Condanland, need to handle some stut
Black Mamba: [Your company..]
Fox: What about my company?]
Black Mamba Sure it’s not for picking hot boys?)
Fux: [Come on! Call up Lamb, let’s hang out tonight I’ll find some good–looking ones for you.]
When she saw the message, Briar’s fingers paused on the screen.
Suddenly, Cyrus’s pale face came to her mind.
When she saw him through the sniper scope at the training base for the first time, she knew he was good–looking.

Only after seeing his whole face did she realize what good–looking was.
Fox [Come on. Have some fun.]
Fox: [Are you still there?)
Fo: | |
After an unknown amount of time, just as Briar was about to reply, Fox’s call came.
“What’s up?” Briar asked casually.
