After signing a package agreement that was dozens of pages long, the cooperation was officially concluded. When Gao Qi shook hands with Bernhard, he smiled and said, "Mr. Poulenc, thank you."
"You're welcome. I should be the one thanking you. You saved Anna, advanced my research, and created a big business opportunity for me. I must thank you."
The more Bernhard said, the worse Huang Fei's expression became. In his opinion, Gao Qi had made a loss in this deal.
They did not even get a single energy core, and they only got five thousand grams of gold as promised. Because of Gao Qi's contribution, Bernhard was willing to give him ten more energy detectors, and that was it.
In Huang Fei's opinion, this was just fooling a fool.
However, Gao Qi smiled brightly and said to Bernhard, "No, no, no, I should be the one thanking you. It's rare that a big shot like you is willing to give young people like us a chance."
Bernhard nodded and then said with a straight face, "Thank you for your cooperation. Thank you for your visit. I still have experiments to do, so I won't accompany you two. John is waiting for you on the spaceship. Goodbye."
Gao Qi and Huang Fei were stunned. When Bernhard turned to leave, Gao Qi could not help but ask, "Mr. Poulenc, Miss Anna … How is she?"
Bernhard looked at Abat. Abat said in a low voice, "Miss Anna is already …"
After looking down at his watch, Abat continued, "She woke up in forty-six minutes. She's very weak and needs to rest."
"Can I go see her?"
Abat looked at Bernhard. Bernhard waved his hand and said, "Sure. Leonie, make the arrangements. Goodbye."
Bernhard left, and Abat followed. The last person left was Leonie, who was responsible for protecting Anna, but more like monitoring and guarding Anna.
Leonie's face was still cold. She stretched out her hand and said, "Please come with me."
Gao Qi looked at Huang Fei. Huang Fei said angrily, "You go and see her. I'll wait for you on the spaceship. I'm hungry. If I go home early, I can still make it in time for dinner."
After saying that, Huang Fei looked at Leonie with disdain.
Bernhard did not turn hostile, but he did not ask them to stay for dinner. As the world's richest man, this behavior was not only extremely stingy, but also extremely unreasonable.
However, Gao Qi was thinking about Anna. He definitely did not have time to care about this.
Gao Qi was still very reluctant to leave. However, he only had a good impression of Anna. Although it was super good, it could only be considered as a crush at most.
And a crush was not enough to make Gao Qi choose to work for Bernhard in order to stay.
However, on the way to see Anna, Gao Qi kept thinking about one thing.
If Anna begged him to stay and marry him, would she stay or return to Chaoxi City? Or could he think of a way to take Anna away?
What should he name his child when he has a child in the future?
Gao Qi could not help but smile. Perhaps he could not help but laugh. Leonie could not help but roll her eyes at him.
When they returned to the door of Anna's study, Gao Qi was a little surprised. He thought that Anna would be in a ward or something like that. He did not expect her to return to her bedroom.
Leonie reached out to push the door open. However, when her hand was placed on the handle, she suddenly thought of something. Then, she put her hand on the door and gently knocked a few times.
"Come in."
Leonie pushed the door open. Then, Gao Qi saw Anna standing by the window.
With the help of a paranormal, it was easy to clean up the mud that had poured into the window. However, there were still traces of a battle in the study, but Anna still stayed in her study, standing behind the window that had been reinstalled.
"Miss Anna, Mr. Gao is here to see you."
Anna turned around. She had changed her clothes. There were no traces of injuries on her body. She did not even look weak.
Anna stared at Gao Qi. Meanwhile, Leonie stood beside Gao Qi without saying a word. She just stood there in a daze.
Gao Qi looked at Leonie. He tried to tell her with his eyes to leave quickly and stop being a hindrance. However, Leonie did not move at all.
"You …"
Anna opened her mouth. The way she looked at Gao Qi was very strange. It was not as gentle as when they met in the morning, nor was it as cold as when she transformed into her beast form in the afternoon. Gao Qi did not know how to describe it. In any case, he felt that Anna's gaze was very complicated.
Sighing softly, Anna said in a low voice, "You are not the Flame Overlord."
Gao Qi was stunned. "Ah?"
Anna took two steps towards Gao Qi. She stared coldly at Gao Qi and said, "You used up all of my energy core."
Gao Qi said helplessly, "You, you were in a very dangerous situation …"
Anna suddenly said impatiently, "Shut up! What does it have to do with you whether I was in danger or not? You took away my power, the power that belonged to me! "
After saying that, Anna angrily approached Gao Qi. She looked straight into Gao Qi's eyes and said hatefully, "I used to like a certain aura on you. I also hoped that you could open the stargate and send me home. But now, I am no longer her. So, I started to hate you."
Gao Qi's heart felt as if it was being crushed by someone's foot on the ground.
Anna continued coldly, "You took away my energy core, but you also freed me from the influence of Partheis."
Gao Qi said weakly, "Are you Anna now, or a Holy Beast?"
"Don't you understand? When you took away my energy core, I was no longer Partheis. I am me, and I am not affected by anyone. I am not affected by any Holy Beast!"
It was really sad to be hated by the person he loved.
Gao Qi's young man's heart was instantly shattered into countless pieces.
Leonie just looked on coldly. After seeing Leonie's expression, Anna suddenly said, "Did I allow you to stay here? Get out! "
Leonie said indifferently, "I need to protect you. You have no right to order me."
Gao Qi sighed. Although he also hated Leonie, when Anna asked Leonie to get out, he felt that Anna was talking about him.
"Okay, I wish you a speedy recovery. Mm, I … I … I'm fine. Goodbye."
Gao Qi was a little dazed. After saying goodbye with difficulty, he was about to turn around and leave. However, he saw Anna frown and say, "Wait a minute."
Anna sighed softly. Then she said with a puzzled expression, "Why do I feel a little reluctant to leave when I see you like this? I clearly hate you, but why do I feel that you are very pitiful and sympathetic? I even feel … I want to be close to you. Why are my emotions so messed up? "
Leonie's lips curled up slightly. She said in a low voice, "Maybe you haven't completely freed yourself from the influence of Partheis. According to my observation, maybe Partheis likes him, but your ego doesn't."
Ego, ego, true ego. Were they going to discuss philosophy?
However, Gao Qi felt that he saw some hope.
Anna looked very puzzled. She looked at Gao Qi with eyes that were sometimes gentle and sometimes cold. Finally, she said, "Didn't my energy core completely disappear?"
Leonie smiled and said, "No, there's still a little left. A little bit."
Anna sighed softly. She stared at Gao Qi for a long time. Then, she suddenly turned around and walked to the bookshelf. She took out a comic and threw it to Gao Qi from afar.
Gao Qi reached out to catch it, but Leonie snatched the comic in front of Gao Qi. Then, she opened the comic without hiding anything.
She quickly flipped through it. The comic was very normal. Then, under the angry gazes of Gao Qi and Anna, Leonie handed the comic to Gao Qi and said, "I almost dropped it. You're welcome."
There was actually such a shameless woman in the world.
Gao Qi took the comic. Anna looked at him and said in a very impatient tone, "You'd better leave this place. My hatred for you makes me not want to see you, but my good impression of you makes me want to give you a farewell gift. Now, immediately, please leave my room!"
Gao Qi looked at Anna. He turned around and walked out in a daze. Why should he stay with a shameless face? If Anna liked him under abnormal circumstances and hated him after normal circumstances, then he could just leave.
Why? What was so great about it? What was there to feel bad about?
However, after walking and bumping his head twice for no reason and feeling that it was difficult to breathe, Gao Qi realized that he was indeed feeling very bad.
It was very, very, very bad.
Leonie walked Gao Qi all the way to John's spaceship. Then, she watched as Gao Qi boarded the spaceship.
Seeing the spaceship's gangway begin to retract and the hatch close, Leonie suddenly said to the air, "President, they're gone."
"Oh, I'm doing an experiment. Is there a problem?"
"Everything is normal. Miss Anna's emotional reaction is normal. After losing the energy core, she became very annoyed with Gao Qi. However, the remaining energy core allowed her to retain some of her good impression of Gao Qi."
Bernhard was silent for a while. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Alright, what a pity. I was hoping that Anna could help me keep him. In that case, the second phase of the experiment is over. We can enter the third phase."
Leonie did not say anything because the subsequent experiments had nothing to do with her. However, soon, Bernhard said in her earpiece, "No, wait. Maybe I was too hasty."
Leonie still did not say anything.
Bernhard quickly said in her earpiece, "I think it's too early to come to a conclusion. Also, there might be some mistakes in my thinking. Oh, do you think feelings are important?"
Leonie continued to be silent. Bernhard was slightly puzzled. "You've been with Anna for the longest time. You're the woman I'm most familiar with. Please tell me, are feelings important? Am I not specific enough? Then, let me change the question. Do you think love is important? "
Leoni sighed softly and soundlessly. Then, she said firmly, "It's important!"
"Then, do you think feelings including love and family are important to Anna?"
"Yes!"
Bernhard was puzzled. "Is that so? I didn't figure this out earlier. This is not in line with my habits. Then, do you think erasing Anna's brain activity that controls feelings is beneficial or harmful to the third phase of the experiment? "
Leonie hesitated for a long time. In the end, she said, "It's harmful! I don't think we should interfere too much with Miss Anna's emotional response. Miss Anna's focus should be on observation and recording, not control … "
"You're not an experimenter. Don't discuss the experiment with me. Oh, but I respect your judgment about Anna. Then, the second phase of the experiment will continue. That's it. I'll end the call. I should focus on the experiment."
After the call ended, Leonie took out the mini earpiece in her ear.
Leonie's expression was complicated. Her body trembled slightly. She turned around and looked at the slowly rising spaceship. After hesitating for a while, she lowered her head and silently walked towards the fortress, which was also Bernhard's residence.
But after taking two steps, Leonie suddenly turned around and looked at the spaceship again. Then, she crushed the mini earpiece in her hand and threw it at the spaceship. She gritted her teeth and said, "Read that manga properly, idiot!"
After speaking in stiff German, Leonie suddenly lost control of her emotions. Then, she raised her voice and said angrily, "How dare you play such childish tricks in front of me. You two idiots. Did you get to be my safety supervisor with your face?"
In the end, Leoni stomped her foot furiously with nowhere else to vent her anger. Then, she yelled at the rapidly departing ship. "I've told you, I've reminded you. It's your problem if you can't hear me! You're an idiot if you can't understand! In short, Anna deserves to be an idiot … "
