Before they could react, he waved his hand.
Several bodyguards appeared. Fear shot through Moona and Maxi's veins.
'Do we fight?'
Before either of them could move, the lab doors were suddenly pushed open.
Researchers flooded in.
Voices overlapped as they spoke all at once.
"We knew it, he is such a snake. Let's kick him out!"
"We suspected him long ago. Should have taken action before!"
"He really was corrupt."
In the chaos, they dragged the corrupted researcher down. The bodyguards who dared to help him were beaten and thrown out as well.
The truth soon became clear.
Everyone had known all along. They had deliberately pretended to leave, consciously sending people away and granting the bodyguards leave, knowing the greedy ones would accept bribes and reveal themselves.
It was a trap. And it worked perfectly.
Without hesitation, the corrupted researcher and his bodyguards were expelled.
From that day onward, Moona and Maxi finally understood something with certainty.
