Chapter 108: Chapter 96 Let’s get started, show me what you can do…
Radak surveyed the entire chaotic scene of the laboratory, glanced at the injured Coleman and a few dead guards, and finally his gaze rested on the half-orc lying on the ground, unconscious.
“It was Timis… all done by Timis!” Bock scrambled and crawled to Radak, shouting out loud, as if fearing that Radak might hold him responsible.
Radak ignored Bock’s clamor and went straight to the half-human, half-beast creature, grabbed its head, and examined it carefully for about a minute before speaking indifferently.
“Who is Timis?”
Lynn immediately stood up. “I am Timis… Reporting to Lord Radak, as Bock said, I was in charge of this experiment.”
Seeing Lynn admit responsibility voluntarily, Bock and Patty both sighed in relief, as their biggest worry was that he would shift the blame onto them.
Bock even revealed that Lynn had taken it upon himself to use the Lion Fire Magic Potion.
All the apprentices present looked at Lynn with pity. Changing the experimental process on his own and causing such chaos was no small crime.
However, Radak’s reaction was different from what they had expected, he slowly began to speak.
“Where is the experimental report?”
“Here, Lord Radak!” Lynn stepped forward and handed over the experimental records, knowing he had made the right gamble!
To Radak, it didn’t matter at all how the experiment had gone out of control, how much was broken, or how many guards had died, as long as he could present results, nothing else mattered.
Radak reached out his hand to take it, his pale, withered right hand bearing a ring — that was the token of identity used by the Faceless!
Lynn quickly retracted his gaze, maintaining a composed expression, and while Radak was examining the experimental records, he explained,
“Lord Radak, through experimentation, I discovered that the active properties of the troll’s magic potion are very high, which could intensify the magic power rejection reaction, so I decided to use the Lion Fire Magic Potion…”
As Lynn narrated, Radak continually flipped through the experimental report, and after finishing, looked toward the apprentices gathered in the room and spoke again. “Who originally proposed using the troll’s magic potion for experiments?”
“It was, it was me… Lord Radak…” A forty-something, short and chubby apprentice trembled as he stepped forward.
“So, it’s because of your mistake that seventeen precious experimental subjects were wasted…” Radak’s tone was very cold.
The short and chubby apprentice immediately turned pale and began to shiver uncontrollably, guessing the punishment he was about to face, and then, as if out of his mind, he lunged forward, attempting to flee directly out of the wide-open window…
However, Coleman reacted faster. His injuries did not affect his movements at all, and he immediately rushed forward like lightning, grabbed the apprentice by the collar, and violently yanked him back, slamming him against the wall before sending a punch flying.
Bang~
Dull thuds and screams erupted, accompanied by the crisp sound of breaking bones. The bulky apprentice was instantly beaten by Coleman till his nose bled and his face swelled, with blood flowing profusely.
“Ah, I was wrong! Lord Radak… Spare my life!”
The short, plump apprentice fell to the ground, screaming in agony, while Bock and the others shivered in fright, merely watching as Coleman knocked the other man unconscious. Soon, several guards came up and tied him up.
Radak watched silently, and finally turned to Lynn. “You did well this time, Timis. Is there anything you desire?”
“I wish to become your assistant!” Lynn said without hesitation, not worried about the other suspecting him, as every apprentice present had been eyeing that position since Nu’er’s death, hoping to gain Radak’s favor and a chance for promotion.
Radak did not respond directly but said, “Coleman, send some men to clean this place up, and lock this subject in the dungeon… As for you, Timis… come with me!”
The apprentices at the scene regained their senses and quickly realized that the subject’s outburst was no mere experimental accident. They looked at Lynn with expressions full of envy and jealousy.
Bock was especially dumbfounded. In his attempt to absolve himself, he had completely dissociated from the situation. Now, he could only watch, green with envy, as Lynn alone received favor.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Lynn followed Radak deeper into the castle, eventually stopping in front of a high wall in the basement.
Radak raised his scepter and touched the wall lightly. Waves rippled across it, and suddenly, a door appeared on the previously empty wall.
The tightly closed doors then automatically swung open, revealing a huge secret chamber inside, more spacious than the castle’s front hall and decorated with ancient, rustic adornments, exuding an aura of age-old weariness.
In the center stood a giant statue, two meters tall, silver-gray, exquisitely and intricately carved, looking incredibly lifelike.
As the two of them stepped in, the torches around lit up one by one, illuminating the dim basement. Only then did Lynn notice that the sides of the secret chamber were lined with coffins, each containing a corpse. The sheer number almost made him think he had entered a morgue.
This sight heightened his alertness to its peak, and Lynn couldn’t help but suspect that Radak might have already seen through his identity.
Should I make a move…
Lynn found himself caught in a dilemma. There were only him and Dalak here, a decent opportunity, but the numerous corpses displayed in the chamber gave him an uneasy feeling.
“Make your move, let me see your capabilities…” Dalak suddenly said.

Lynn reflexively began to gather the White Phosphorus Fire to hurl directly at Dalak’s head but then realized that what Dalak referred to was the small-statured corpse on the experiment table, almost child-like.
Realizing his misunderstanding, Lynn quickly adjusted his attitude, took a sharp knife from the side, and walked over to the experiment table.
This area was much brighter than the rest of the secret chamber, with a blue gem the size of a palm embedded in the ceiling providing lighting for the entire table.
Upon getting a clear view of the corpse, Lynn’s expression subtly changed as he recognized the person before him—it was Ralph, who had been attacked a few days earlier and brought back to the security office by Lea and others!
