Morpheus took a step back, quickly releasing his hold, and asked with concern.

“Not bad, quite good actually.”

Reflecting on his behind-enemy-lines operation, aside from wasting a bit of time at the final stage, Link had made great gains elsewhere.

Two projects were about to yield results, only needing some additional experiments and data.

According to Link’s experience, these two achievements could be worth a lot of “Academic Points” and Magic Stones.

Also, more than one-fifth of the Fairy King’s Spirit has been devoured by the “Seed”, providing great nourishment on both the rule and energy levels.

Indeed, the gains were considerable.

“That’s good.”

Morpheus felt truly pleased.

A slightly distorted, chilling smile appeared on his battered face.

Even though he was borrowed, Link did represent the rear Potion Department in this behind-enemy-lines mission.

A boon for Link meant a good performance.

The Potion Department could celebrate some secondary gains.

And Morpheus, the Potion Department Head, could now speak with more authority.

Well, this logic could barely be justified.

“This isn’t a good place to talk.”

Morpheus turned around and headed towards the floating car, speaking as he walked, “Let’s head back.”

There were no objections from Link, who followed him at once.

The two of them drove towards the Potion Department Headquarters.

As soon as they were in the car, Morpheus started complaining:

“Ah, luckily you were just borrowed, not transferred.

If you had been, I’d have to find another good helper or two.

During the time you weren’t here, I was almost mad because of the personnel from the Medical Department.

They are useless in everything except for snatching credit.

If it wasn’t for my firm stance, they would have given up long ago.

I really can’t understand how Salossal led his people. He somehow ruined a group of pharmacists and R&D Engineers that were well-trained by the Serene Wizard.

It’s truly an unforgivable sin.”

Link didn’t understand the actual situation, so he just listened without rashly expressing an opinion.

Fortunately, Morpheus was just venting and didn’t expect to find comfort or support from Link.

Seeing that Link wasn’t very interested in this topic, he eventually stopped talking.

The car fell silent for the time being.

The atmosphere wasn’t awkward, just silent.

Soon, the floating car arrived in front of the shit-brown bungalow that housed the Potion Department Headquarters.

“You seem pretty tired. Take the rest of the day off, relax back in your dorm, and come to report to me tomorrow.”

Seeing the tiredness Link couldn’t hide, Morpheus sincerely advised just before getting out of the car.

Usually tough, yet also understanding of his subordinates.

A blend of tough and tender, Morpheus truly grasped the essence of administrative management.

“Okay, thank you, Head.”

After thanking him, Link got out of the car, glanced at the slanted sign on the door, and noted that nothing seemed to have changed.

Then he picked up his heavy backpack, said goodbye to Morpheus, and headed straight through the office area, crossed the courtyard, and came back to his dorm.

After putting down his backpack and taking a relaxing hot shower to wash away his fatigue, he turned on the dorm’s defense mode and tasked the diligent Franda with keeping guard. Then, Link fell into a sound sleep.

Taking baths and sleeping soundly had become Link’s routine means of relieving fatigue.

While Link was sleeping soundly, his return sparked a heated debate in the Potion Department.

Of course, the main character in this controversy was Link, and it originated within the Potion Development and Refining Teams.

Up till now, Link was still the team leader of both teams.

However, for ease of management, during Link’s loan period, Morpheus appointed two acting team leaders to oversee the Potion Development and Refining Teams, respectively.

No matter how small, a mosquito’s leg is still meat.

Don’t underestimate the importance of being a team leader.

If they could remove the “acting” prefix, it would reflect greatly on the career records of the two acting team leaders.

Whether they continue serving in the Legion or return to their homeland, this could prove helpful.

So, faced with Link, the official team leader of both teams, the two acting team leaders teamed up in an unspoken alliance to start a smear campaign against Link.

They accused him of neglecting his duties by abandoning proper potion development and refinement to study fairies instead;

They said he lacked a sense of responsibility; at the critical moment of Potion Department’s restart, he took part in a borrowing task that could be refused.

Some facts, some exaggerations, and some distortions.

In short, there was just one purpose, to force Link to voluntarily resign.

After a sound sleep, Link woke up refreshed.

Having tidied up a bit, Link went to report to Morpheus.

As he walked past the offices, all sorts of rumors drifted into his ears.

After thinking for a moment, Link quickly understood the malicious intentions hidden behind these rumors.

“Heh …”

Link laughed coldly, knocking on the door to Morpheus’s office.

“Come in!”

Morpheus always answered energetically.

Pushing open the door to the Minister’s office, Link didn’t waste any time, “After politely greeting, I would like to resign from both the Potion Development and Potion Refining Teams and focus on,” he said directly after a polite greeting.

Originally, Link had thought that if the people from the Medical Department performed well, he wouldn’t mind listing a few more names in the upcoming heavy hitting “papers”.

Now, ha-ha, I’m done playing with you.

You can play your petty tricks by yourselves.

Disgusting.

“Hmm…”

Morpheus pondered for a while, sensing Link’s determination, he didn’t try to persuade him but nodded in agreement, “That’s fine. It would be better to focus on your research without any distractions.”
