For a second, a heavy silence settled over the room before one of the City Managers finally answered. "Doctor Lucian Cure is the head of the Genetic Engineering Department. He has worked for the government in Shelter City 9 for more than 30 years, and he has been active at the Player Headquarters since its construction."
The elderly Manager of Shelter City 9 spoke with complete certainty. Yet Adyr did not look satisfied as his gaze moved to the others.
"H-he's been my colleague since our university years," one of the lead researchers blurted, answering quickly after meeting Adyr's eyes.
Even Victor, Selina, and Eren, who met Adyr's gaze, seemed to know who the man was, which only made the situation worse.
Adyr was not someone who would forget a face or a name after seeing it once. With his authority, he had reviewed every researcher, every employee, even the janitors working at the Player Headquarters, committing to memory every person who passed through these doors.
