Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 285 Lela's Test

Philip pursed his lips and remained silent.

Lloyd paced back and forth. The sudden mention of the Divine Doctor Association's taboo methods made everyone uncomfortable, as it was a disgrace to the Divine Doctor Association. The atmosphere grew tense and silent.

Lela carefully folded the examination report, sensing the unease in the room. She knew Philip, Lloyd, and Martin were withholding something from her.

Her heart sank as she considered the implications.

However, she maintained a calm expression and said, even with a hint of innocence, "Never mind. Just ask. After all, Robert mentioned it to me once, and I thought it really existed." "What? Robert actually told you about this taboo method?"

Hearing Lela's words, Philip, who was usually calm and composed, was very surprised.

The three leaders of the Divine Doctor Association all treated Lela as their most beloved disciple, so they wouldn't think Lela was deceiving them but believed that Robert had indeed told Lela. Lela thought to herself, 'A taboo method?'

'The taboo method of the Divine Doctor Association!'

'It really exists!'

'If this is the taboo method of the Divine Doctor Association, then what is the relationship between the Immortal Man and the Divine Doctor Association?'

Lela didn't dare to think further, her hand inside her sleeve trembling slightly.

After a moment, Lela composed herself and looked directly at Philip and the others, her gaze clear and sincere. "Yes, Robert once mentioned it involves children and uses extremely brutal methods. To date, no successful mutant has been created."

Saying this, Lela felt very uncomfortable inside.

However, her face remained calm.

No one in the world except them knew about the taboo method of how the Divine Doctor Association made Mutants.

Now, Lela spoke as if she had experienced it herself, leaving them no choice but to believe that Robert had indeed told Lela.

"Philip, Lloyd, Martin, is the creation of Mutants really that cruel?" Lela asked.

The silence that followed spoke volumes. Lela pressed on with a smile, hiding her inner turmoil.

Hearing Lela's words, Philip and the others understood. They exchanged glances and sighed lightly. Just as Philip was about to speak, Martin stopped him. "Philip."

Philip patted Martin's hand and said, "Since Robert has already told Sarah, we won't hide it anymore. Besides, Sarah is the future successor of the Divine Doctor Association; she needs to know."

Martin didn't stop him, and Philip told Lela all about the taboo method of the Divine Doctor Association.

After hearing this, Lela couldn't stay calm. She smiled and asked, "Where is the method for creating this taboo method kept now?"Martin quickly stopped her as he said, "Sarah, you wouldn't want to create a Mutant, would you? That's not acceptable."

Lela looked down, chuckling softly, tears escaping her eyes. "No, it's barbaric. I only hope it remains a thing of the past. I was merely curious."

Philip held Lela's hand to comfort her. "Sarah, don't worry. We will definitely help cure Mr. Gomez's illness. Don't worry, okay?"

Lela looked at Philip's hand holding hers and then up at Philip, seeing the genuine concern and affection in his eyes. She was a bit confused.

Martin added, "The method for creating mutants was destroyed long ago due to its extreme cruelty. We only know of its existence."

Lela thought, 'Destroyed!'

'Are they really destroyed?'

Then, where did Lela come from?

After a long time, Lela withdrew her hand and stood up from the stool.She glanced around, her eyes cold, then swept over Philip and the others, murmuring, "Take a patient, cautious approach and wait for a better opportunity?" Philip didn't understand why Lela said that but was worried as he said, "Sarah."

Avoiding their gazes, Lela examined her hand thoughtfully before quietly remarking, "How can anyone predict how I'll repay those who've treated me?"
