"I doubt it. The fact that people from the Greensource Corp know about my existence means that Ralph does. There''s not much difference between the two."


    David shook his head incessantly, seeming to suddenly remember something, and said, "Right, although I hate Greensource Corp, Scarlet Leaf and Green Leaf are also closely rted. Demetra, I think we should leave this ce now."


    "David, wait!" Demetra reassured David, "Miss Kyra said that Ralph doesn''t know we''re here with Mister Penn now. Even if he does, he won''t do anything to us. But if we leave Mister Penn, the people from Greensource Corp will soon find us again. Then, we might face the test tube again."


    "Damn it!" David mmed his fist on the table, and it broke apart, copsing to the ground instantly.


    Wilbur said, "David, stay. You saved me once, so I''ll protect you guys."


    David''s face darkened, he turned around, looked at Wilbur, and said, "I can stay, but I need you to swear, Wilbur, no matter what happens, until the Greensource Corp ispletely gone, you cannot abandon me and Demetra."


    "No matter what happens, we''re friends."


    "No problem."


    Wilbur readily agreed to David''s request. At this moment, Wilbur looked at David just as he did Demetra at the beginning. David, as a tortured virus, and Demetra, as an orphan who had been abused since childhood. These two shared simr experiences.


    "Alright. Let''s shake on it."


    David extended his hand, then looked at Wilbur with a questioning look. At that moment, Wilbur did not hesitate at all as he shook David''s hand and said, "Friends."


    Kyra said, "So Demetra, are you staying here or going to meet Mister Ralph with us?"


    Wilbur directly said, "Let''s go and meet Mister Ralph together."


    Kyra drove, taking Tina, Wilbur, and Demetra to a bar. After meeting Paul at the door, Paul drove another car and took them to a secret base outside the eastern suburbs of Aidementon.


    Paul peeked out of the car window and found that the gate of the secret base was not open. He withdrew his gaze and said, "Let''s rest in the car for now. We can go in when the gate of the base opens."


    "How long will it take?" Wilbur asked.


    "I''m not sure about that. It could be a few hours, or we might have to wait until tomorrow morning," Paul said.


    Wilbur and Demetra exchanged puzzled nces. Kyra exined, "Mister Ralph is a scientist. He loves exploring, and he does various experiments every day. Recently, he has been working on a special experiment, and the experiment is at a critical juncture right now. He doesn''t want to be disturbed, so we need to wait until hepletes this stage of the experiment and rest up before we can meet him."


    At this moment, David said angrily, "This annoying guy. Since he loves research so much, he should live in a test tube and be a molecule to see how various reactions ur. That might be more beneficial to his research."


    Demetra smiled slightly and said, "Then are you willing to let him be your host?"
