Chapter 896
She silently pulled her foot back and walked back to the sofa. “The commotion doesn’t matter. What matters is that I got the item for you p>
“But, but you can’t just… use those methods! It’s not like the government didn’t provide funding. If people find out the institute needed this Astral Titanium, they might think I authorized you to do it. Our Elyndor Institute of Advanced Sciences has a reputation to uphold Mr. Harrison wanted to say more.
Serena cut him off directly. “Do you want it or not p>
Her tone sounded a bit impatient.
The Lancaster family exchanged glances again.
Their precious daughter!
That was Mr. Harrison, a national treasure! How could she speak to him like that?
However, Mr. Harrison didn’t care about Serena’s attitude at all. Instead, he smiled fawningly. “Yes, yes, yes, yes p>
He nodded continuously. “It had to be you! You’re incredible. Who else in the world could win the Astral Titanium for just two dollars? Having you at the Elyndor Institute of Advanced Sciences is the greatest blessing we could ever ask for p>
The flattery came one line after another.
Even the academicians behind him, whose combined ages were well into the hundreds, all rushed in front of Serena.
They bowed to her in perfect unison. “As expected of you! Winning the Astral Titanium for just two dollars p>
“Only you have this kind of skill! When you take action, you do the work of two people p>
“What do you mean two people? She does the work of our entire institute p>
The constant choruses of praise left the Lancaster family utterly dumbfounded.
They knew Serena had an exceptionally high IQ.
Joining Mr. Harrison’s institute at such a young age and becoming a core member was already an incredibly impressive feat.
But p>
They never expected her status at the institute to be this remarkably high!
A group of top-tier, nationally treasured big shots.
Bowing and scraping to their precious twenty-year-old daughter p>
Even Old Mr. Lancaster, who had seen his fair share of grand spectacles, nearly lost his grip on his cane.
Catherine Vinton couldn’t help but quietly ask the nearest academician, speaking with cautious reverence. “Um… Dr. Elias Keaton, what did you just call our Serena p>
Since this was the mother of their guiding light, Dr. Elias Keaton naturally couldn’t ignore her. He nodded with immense pride. “Well, even though Serena is young, she is our absolute trailblazer in the field of the Neural Synapse Interface p>
“T-trailblazer?” Catherine was stunned.
Their Serena p>
Was actually the trailblazer for these nationally treasured academicians?
Just how god-like was their daughter!
“Flattery is useless.” Serena lifted her gaze, raising a hand to stop their fawning behavior. “The highest bid for the Astral Titanium today was five billion, two hundred and eighty million dollars. I expect the funds to be transferred to my account by tomorrow p>
The group of flattering old men instantly went silent.
A few seconds later.
Mr. Harrison let out a nervous laugh. “Miss Lancaster, come on now. I’ve managed the institute on your behalf for all these years, haven’t I? Even if I haven’t achieved greatness, I’ve put in the hard work. This Astral Titanium you won for two dollars p>
Serena shot him a look, convinced that he had used up all his intelligence on research. “Does researching the Neural Synapse Interface not cost money p>
With that single glance, Mr. Harrison instantly understood.
He clapped his hands together.
“Right, right right! Regardless of how much Miss. Lancaster spent to win it,
the Astral Titanium is worth what it’s
worth The government will definitely pay out the full value. won’t short you a single cent p>
