Chapter 367:
Barlow groaned in agony, a shard of debris piercing his thigh.
The crowd stood frozen in shock before their gazes shifted to Khloe, a mix of awe and fear on their faces.
It had only taken one kick to leave a man like Barlow crumpled on the floor.
Khloe’s movements had been swift, her combat skills almost frightening.
Was this what it meant to be a genius?
Khloe lowered her leg, a faint numbness lingering. The grueling sessions with Henrik had paid off, even if they
left her drained every day. Henrik didn’t believe in holding back. If he had been the one to land that kick on
Barlow, it wouldn't have ended with just a fall.
As the shock faded, the crowd shifted, mocking and jeering at Barlow.
“You tried to hurt Khloe but lacked the skill. Now you've paid the price.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Serves him right! Barlow's always bullying new and female researchers. Khloe did the right thing. People like
him don’t deserve mercy.”
Overcby the jeers and the sting of Khloe’s kick, Barlow staggered for a moment before collapsing,
unconscious.
Granger frowned at Barlow's limp form. “A scoundrel like him has no place in the biomedical field. Don’t worry,
Khloe. I'll ensure he pays for this.”
He waved his hand. “Take him to the police station and use my card. The Congress will deal with him severely for
causing trouble in my presence.” With Granger's words, Barlow's fate was sealed.
Khloe smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Diaz.”
Granger chuckled. “No need for formality. You recreated the Jose Drug, solved a mystery I've chased for years,
and cured my illness. From now on, I'm your friend. If anyone harms you, call me.”

His words were firm, and the crowd could feel the weight of his protection over Khloe, envy growing in their eyes.
Few were jealous; they all understood the value of Khloe’s achievement in recreating the Jose Drug. It was her
talent, not her connections, that earned her respect.
Granger smiled and added, “By the way, Khloe, | have a grandson who's a great catch. Henrik’s too cold and
doesn’t treat a lady well. If you ever want to find a new fiancé, I'll introduce him to you.”
Gloria remained by Khloe’s side, blending into the team by pretending to be a researcher. She had refrained from
stepping in with Barlow earlier, strictly following Khloe’s directive to stay inconspicuous. Khloe didn’t want the
presence of a bodyguard to draw unnecessary attention during the competition. But when Gloria overheard the
ongoing exchange, she couldn't remain passive. Turning to the staff with a firm expression, she said, “Isn't it
tto resthe competition? We're losing valuable time.”
The staff, sensing the urgency in her words, approached Granger, who was still focused on Khloe. “Mr. Diaz,
Oasis Laboratory and Origin Company are the only ones left in the first round. We've been delayed for quite a
while now. Should we proceed to announce the results?”
“Ah, | must be getting old; my memory isn’t what it used to be. | completely forgot about the competition,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGranger said with a chuckle before turning to the crowd. “Oasis Laboratory is the winner of this round.”
Taking the chance, Khloe slipped back to her booth. She smiled as she watched Gloria cautiously shut the door
behind them, glancing over her shoulder to make sure Granger wasn't trailing them.
Amused, Khloe chuckled. “Relax. If Henrik can’t catch my attention, no one else stands a chance.”
Gloria offered a sheepish smile and settled back into her role, though she silently resolved that Henrik needed to
pay more attention to Khloe. Khloe’s brilliance made her a mafor admiration and fierce rivalry.
