Chapter 879 - 573: The Fake Master [End] Ultimatum

"None. Of you. Are worthy."

Each word enunciated clearly, syllable by syllable.

For an instant, the entire conference room fell silent, stunned, the shock even overshadowing the anger.

"Cough cough—"

Deputy Llewellyn choked on his tea.

He glanced up, giving Nora Scott a meaningful look.

He’d heard Len Vaughn’s evaluation of Nora Scott before: low-key yet arrogant, untouched unless you cross her, but if provoked, her revenge is thunderous. When she acts cocky, it doesn’t matter if it’s a superstar ancestor in front of her, she’ll step on them without giving any face.

He thought he got some insights last night, but it turns out that was just the tip of the iceberg, she was only peeling back a bit to show today.

Biel Hall...

V5.

After putting down his teacup, Deputy Llewellyn patted his chest, making no statement, staying silent and awaiting the response. After all, this "you" included him too.

If she weren’t the Hall Master, he might have overturned the table.

"Arrogance! Even if Lu Ban were alive, he’d struggle to say such words!"

"So young and so ignorant!"

"Who gave you such confidence?! Out of the entire group, only you, no achievements, no status, no strength, where do you get the nerve to say such things?!"

"Hah. To be underestimated by a fledgling like this, now that’s a lesson learned."

...

After long shock and silence, they finally erupted, each one holding back from cursing but their faces twisted in anger, fingers nearly poking into Nora’s nose.

Pedro Langley watched the spectacle calmly, impressed by Nora’s talent for making enemies.

These people might seem worthless compared to Nora, but they’re truly industry giants, except for a few; all are truly skilled. Most hold professorships, highly respected in academia, conducting research and securing projects that even partner companies must show them some respect.

Proud and arrogant, none have likely suffered such indignity in their lives.

The fact that they haven’t rushed to hit Nora is truly a testament to their character.

"Two weeks."

As Nora spoke, a bamboo flute was tossed onto the table, silencing all the frenzied noise in the room.

With a slight furrow of her brow, Nora said coolly, "Two weeks, I’ll give you a complete set of engineering drawings."

"..."

The crowd froze, clearly not comprehending.

How is it possible to deliver a complete set of engineering drawings in just two weeks?

"Concerning the result drawings," Nora paused, extended her arm, picking up the bamboo flute again, skillfully spinning it between her fingers, raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "if you’re satisfied, call me ’sis’ when you see me. If not, I’ll exit the project group."

At this, Nora glanced at Pedro and added, extremely arrogantly, "Moreover, each of you owes me ten million as compensation."

"..."

Pedro’s mouth twitched.

Though he’s happy to be Nora’s cash machine, this time... feels a bit unjust.

If the initial words were to invite ridicule, the latter only led to further silence.

Ten million!

Per person!

With nearly twenty people present, this sum isn’t trivial.

"..."

Not only the expert professors, but Adrian Sullivan, Daniela Esteves, Ryan Ford, Deputy Llewellyn, and Richard Carter were all stunned, never expecting Nora to casually mention a compensation sum in the billions, as though it were pocket change.

Especially Deputy Llewellyn, who calculated Biel Hall’s profits... if Biel were to pay compensation, it’d likely go bankrupt.

Too rich.

Rich to the point where those who considered themselves well-off only felt like destitute beggars.

Adrian was the first to stand, staring intensely at Nora, "You said it, don’t cry later."

"I may have said it, but if you lie through your teeth—" Nora’s gaze lifted, turning to the two captains, "Captain Ford, Deputy Llewellyn."

Ryan Ford replied firmly, "We know what’s going on."

"Alright then," Nora stood, casually sliding her hands into her pockets, looking down upon them, delivering one final blow, "Consider me saving time by not sticking around, see you in two weeks."

"..."

They had a strong urge to curse.

However, Nora didn’t give them the chance, pulling the chair back, and left with Pedro and Shaw.

...

"Captain Ford, where did you find this extraordinary person?"

Once the door closed, someone couldn’t wait to complain to Ryan Ford.

Ryan Ford: "..."

"I really can’t believe it, this is the first time I’ve seen such an arrogant youngster."

"I want to see what she can come up with in two weeks."

"She won’t be asking for help, will she?"

...

Everyone was belittling and mocking Nora Scott.

Deputy Llewellyn, however, pointed out something, furrowing his brows, "The project details have just been made public, and all the talents are sitting here. Who can she ask for help? Ask yourselves, can you come up with a complete blueprint in two weeks?"

As soon as he spoke, making his stance clear, the protests and dissatisfaction of the crowd gradually subsided a bit.

However, Daniela Esteves looked at Deputy Llewellyn with meaning, word by word said, "I remember Deputy Llewellyn was protecting her last night."

Everyone recalled this, and looked up one after another, their eyes filled with doubt.

Deputy Llewellyn was neither annoyed nor angry, sitting in his chair, spread his hands, "If I could figure it out, would I need to gather so many people?"

"..."

That seems logical enough.

The crowd was speechless.

Then, an old professor sitting next to Deputy Llewellyn suddenly spoke, "Deputy Llewellyn, speaking from the heart, that girl just confidently said she’d finish in two weeks, judging by her expression it didn’t seem fake, I wonder where her confidence comes from... that is, don’t get mad, has she recently been stimulated by something, should we take her to the hospital for a check-up?"

Deputy Llewellyn: "... You’re the one who’s sick! Your whole family is sick!"

However, Deputy Llewellyn had never witnessed Nora Scott’s capabilities, even if he wanted to speak for her, he didn’t know where to start.

After a pause, he said, "Whether it can be done, the results in two weeks will tell. If it can’t be done, each of us gets ten million, wouldn’t that be delightful?"

"The question is, can she come up with it?" Adrian Sullivan sneered, "Maybe she’s just all talk."

Deputy Llewellyn didn’t like him, looked sideways, "If she can’t, doesn’t that give you just the opportunity to catch her slipping?"

Adrian Sullivan: "..."

The logic is quite clear.

Wait for two weeks for the results, when Nora Scott can’t possibly finish, then they can attack her relentlessly.

Adrian Sullivan thought angrily, even wanting to bring Rosa Sullivan into it, to let Rosa vent her anger properly.

*

With Nora Scott causing such a stir, the meeting didn’t continue, Ryan Ford hastily announced its end, to continue after field inspections.

As they left the venue and stepped outside, they saw Nora Scott carrying a bag walking downstairs, bumping right into them.

"Trying to run away?"

Adrian Sullivan sarcastically called out to Nora Scott.

Without even glancing at him, Nora Scott lazily said, "I find you all annoying, I’m leaving."

Everyone: "... Will you die if you don’t retort?"

Anyway, now that the masks were off, Nora Scott really had no intention of respecting them, she just picked up her bag and walked out.

Meanwhile, Daniela Esteves looked at Nora Scott’s receding figure, lightly furrowed her brows, and walked a few steps towards Ryan Ford, "Captain Ford, since she’s moving out, can I move back in?"

The room that had been occupied by Nora Scott was the best in the entire villa.

The most spacious, the most comfortable, with top-notch amenities.

Last night, after being squeezed out by Nora Scott, Daniela Esteves stayed in a very ordinary room, with someone snoring in the next room, which kept her up all night. Now seeing Nora Scott voluntarily leaving, she naturally couldn’t get the vacated room off her mind.

Ryan Ford acknowledged with a nod, then glanced at Richard Carter, instructed, "Help Master Sliver move."

"Alright."

Richard Carter responded crisply and promptly.

Daniela Esteves instantly lit up with joy.

Ryan Ford gave her a glance, then withdrew his gaze, hiding the faint discomfort and doubt in his heart.

—— For some reason, he began to feel that Daniela Esteves’s words and actions didn’t quite live up to the title "Master Sliver."

Richard Carter and Daniela Esteves headed upstairs.

With the signal jamming canceled, Ryan Ford’s phone vibrated, he took it out for a glance, walked aside with his phone, "Brother."

...

Shaw was to stay here undercover, while Pedro Langley headed to the car to wait for Nora Scott first.

Nora Scott, carrying her backpack, walked out the door.

She paused, glanced at the car Pedro Langley was parked in, just as she was about to step forward, suddenly a car drove straight over, stepping on the gas and racing straight to her, then braked, blocking her path.

Nora Scott frowned irritably.

What kind of day is this, everyone seems to be driving blindly towards her!

She turned her head to leave, but at this moment, the car door was pulled open, and a tall and straight figure came down, two cold eyes directly sweeping towards her.

At the same time, a slightly angry voice accompanied, "Nora Scott!"
