Chapter 340 - The Ark Of The Head Of Research

"Yes, he was quite well-versed in flora and fauna. He seemed to know what plants were poisonous and which were safe enough for humans to touch. He was also quite bossy," said Rina.

Mavislin knew what to grab on to for the conversation, the fact that this man was bossy. That would have been enough to cause a rift between worker and leader.

"Elaborate on that? Like, was he micro-manager? Or did he like to use his mouth more than his hands?"

Rina was surprised with all the questions Mavislin was bombarding but tried to answer each of them as cool as possible.

"He was the type to micro-manage but he did do the work by himself. Like, at times, he would show us or just give little nuggets of information here and there. But he wasn't the type to just use his mouth. If I'm not wrong, it's quite the opposite," replied Rina, thinking back. .

"He wanted to pull off the important experiments by himself. But, from what I heard from my peers, he had quite the foul mouth," continued Rina.

Mavislin's ears perked up, this might be one of the reasons why Rina switched sides.

"He likes to swear a lot? He can have a word war with Mavislin," said Bryan.

Mavislin flicked the man's forehead, earning a giggle from RIna. It was nice to see her smile since she's been going through quite a lot.

"Don't be so cheeky," replied Mavislin as Bryan rubbed his forehead.

"When I said 'foul mouthed', I don't mean to say that he uses profanities. I meant to say that he tends to insult the recruits. He would scold and insult them, saying that they were no good and overall being mean to them. Most of them quit after a few months."

"If I was working under a boss like that, I would punch his face and quit on the same day as I arrived," replied Bryan.

"I'm gonna have to say the same. Someone like that doesn't deserve to be a leader, let alone the head of a research and development department. These types of things require a very supportive leader who can guide and manage each individual," replied Mavislin.

"So that's what this place is called... The Research and Development Facility?" asked Bryan.

"I just call it that, I don't know what this place is called. Usually, a facility like this is for researching and developing certain things like sure or substances."

"You aren't wrong to say that. And I kinda like that name as well. Anyways, going back to Kris's bad habits, he does tend to sabotage quite a bit. And tell us lies, lots and lots of lies. I never liked him but I've got no choice, he was the only one who overlooked the fact that I'm not human."

"Sabotage? Like, he sabotages experiments and delays research?"

"Nope, he sabotages in different ways. He starts rumors about other researchers and passes them around. If he did not like the new researcher, he would purposely tell the seniors that the recruit is no good at their job. Or worse, trying to defunct the place."

"I recall there was an incident that a girl just joined. For some reason, he hated her with a burning passion, which makes me wonder why he accepted her in the first place. This was the most extreme case I knew because he managed to sabotaged her to the point of no return."

"He started spreading rumors that she stole one of the main substances needed for a certain cure that one of the partners was doing. My partner has every fiery temper, so he instantly lashed out at the recruit. At first, I tried to calm him down, saying that it must be a mistake."

"I pretty sure it was, a new person on the job wouldn't have a sound mind to steal things right off the bat," replied Bryan, trying to understand why would Kris badmouth a person he had just recruited.

"I wish the incident turned out better because we found the substance hiding in her locker. But, I had suspected someone planted it there but I kept my mouth shut. In the end, my partner, in a fit of rage, splashed a highly concentrated acid onto her eyes, making her go permanently blind."

Well, that took a very dark turn, thought Mavislin as she did not expect such an outburst from a human. Perhaps they do have the tendency to be a merciless but poor girl, she did not deserve that. Meanwhile, Bryan remained unimpressed.

"That's the norm for most people. It was his cure, his research. His temper or research does not excuse his reaction but doesn't take it to heart. Hell, don't think that's the worse humans would do," said Bryan, shaking his head.
