"Concerned citizen?" Officer Sophia almost tore her hair out hearing him say this so casually.

What did he mean by that?

After seeing him interact with the manager of the place, she thought he was an important person in the hotel—but no, "concerned citizen" instead.

"This is my scene and you are not allowed here. Hurry up and leave," she added, warning him.

How could someone from outside suddenly show up here, right in the middle of a conflict?

"Leave?" Elijah raised a brow. "Since you aren't doing your job, officer, I thought you might need a hand."

Truly, he had been around the entrance a while earlier and had only remained quiet, watching what would happen.

If the police team had done their job, he wouldn't have had to interfere.

Seeing that Master Darryl would get arrested, he had to step in without hesitation.

Officer Sophia's beautiful face flushed with embarrassment and she stamped her feet angrily on the ground. "What nonsense! Are you saying I don't know how to do my job? A

    The toxicology staff now saw Elijah in a different light.They had thought he was something—but now that he admitted it was a guess, how could they remain the same?"Hey, you really risked our lab with your useless guess. Were you trying to get us all killed?""Hmph! I really thought he knew what he was talking about; turns out it was only a stupid guess.""To think he put Ms. Smith in harm's way. This apprentice is really despicable.""Don't even think you can walk out of here after putting us all in harm's way today."The staff members were loud once again, throwing words at Elijah who just smiled in response."Alright, that's enough." Rosalie stepped in. "Julius helped us today, and that's what matters right now. Don't blame him anymore."The staff exchanged confused glances, but they didn't dare say any more. Their director was always strict and detested mistakes, but she was actually taking the side of the despicable apprentice. What was going on?Even Tedrick looked like he wa

    Tedrick DiLaurentis was no longer calm and was sweating profusely.He was glaring furiously at Elijah with the intent to force him to back down, but the latter didn't bat an eye.He even said, "If you can't keep your word, are you a man?""You! Don't forget what I know." He gave Elijah a knowing look and clenched his fist.How could he not play his last card—threatening to expose his name and his marriage to Serena DiLaurentis? Now this useless man would really have no choice but to back away.Elijah frowned.This DiLaurentis was really shameless to this extent and would resort to such threats even now."So you are backing out?""That's enough." Rosalie stepped forward, and this made Tedrick start laughing inwardly.'Ms. Smith is finally standing up for me. You really think you can make me kneel? Dream on!'"Thank you for talking sense into this matter, Ms. Smith," he said with a cunning smile, but no one expected that she would slap the back of his head in return."Hurry up and craw

    Hearing this, the eyes of the lab attendants brightened and they started to point it out too."You're right, Mr. DiLaurentis. That substance from the TCM store must have been the toxin we introduced into the samples.""Now it makes sense. This apprentice is really cunning—to think that he already deceived all of us.""No wonder the color changed that fast. The substance is the toxin. There really is no toxin in the sample. This apprentice, you are truly despicable. How dare you try to achieve your goal by despicable means?"Hearing this, Ms. Smith also wore a complicated expression since she had tested the liquid for toxins before introducing it into the sample. If there were toxins inside, it would be possible for the spectrum results to read as such.Seeing that the others supported him, Tedrick became more emboldened and even let out a wild laugh. "You—do you think you can deceive us today? If I weren't smart enough, we would have all fallen for your useless trick.""You're really

    Rosalie moved without hesitation but was careful with her handling.She first raised one of the samples over the flame until it reached the warmth of thirty-nine degrees, as Elijah had described.The lab attendants followed suit with what she was doing using the other samples, and soon started to stir them lightly with her to break the concealed binder. To them this was all nonsense, but they had to respect and obey their Director.Then it was time to apply the strange substance from the vial which Elijah called the Dragon-root breaking catalyst, drop by drop.When the old vials were opened to begin, Tedrick, who was standing close to Elijah, couldn't help but gloat."Just pray this lab doesn't explode; if not, I'll beat you to death today. Now that you have made Ms. Smith go through with this nonsense, don't you fear that she will be ridiculed by this health bureau behind her back?"Elijah simply watched and said, "We'll know about that soon enough, Uncle Ted. Don't forget about you

    "Huh? Me—MsSmith? You can't possibly be—""You have two minutes, or I'll have you removed from this department..." Rosalie's countenance had changed and she was no longer calm.The staff rushed through the door hurriedly, leaving the rest to whisper among themselves. They couldn't believe that an intelligent woman like Ms. Rosalie Smith would listen to the nonsense of an apprentice from nowhere."Ms. Smith..." Tedrick tried to talk to her again, but one glance was enough to make him stand back.Soon enough, the staff came running back with a plastic bag carrying a couple of strange-looking vials. There was a layer of sweat scattered across her forehead, proof of how quickly she had moved and returned."Ms. Smith," she said, trying to catch her breath, "this stuff is too cheap to be real. It's nonsense and could definitely cause a problem. What if it's flammable and blows up our Toxicology Lab?"Tedrick took his opportunity to start talking again. "That's right, Ms. Smith. Take a loo

    Even the other lab attendants couldn't help but join Tedrick in laughing at the apprentice's words, which were nonsense to their ears.“Cold-root binder? Hidden toxins? This apprentice—have you finally lost your mind?"“Yeah, he's talking pure nonsense. I've seen shameless people pursue Ms. Smith, but this is the worst of all.”“Don’t pretend to be an expert. If Director Smith couldn’t detect anything, what can you possibly see? You can only come up with things that don't exist.”“Stop making things up. Traditional mixtures? What does that have to do with our modern lab?”“You’re overreaching, Little Apprentice. Don’t drag us down with ridiculous guesses. If people outside hear of this nonsense, they'll laugh at our toxicology lab.”Elijah didn't argue with them and simply remained calm. "I've said what I want to say. It's your choice to believe me or not. If you continue to use your modern methods, you won't get results.""Quiet your trap!" Tedrick pointed a finger at him. "Just beca
