Chapter 1364: Chapter 1361: Mr. Marlowe, I Can Feel His Presence (Extra 1)
Professor Marlowe watched Aidan Lucas with deep unease, not knowing how to explain himself.
“Mr. Lucas… I… I know you are Mr. Lucas, what I mean is, which Mr. Lucas are you?”
If it were the first personality, he should not be speaking to him with such calmness.
But if it were the second personality, it shouldn’t be so profound and incomprehensible.
Professor Marlowe was utterly confused, unable to guess the identity of the man before him.
Aidan Lucas’s cold eyes flickered, “I told you, I am Aidan Lucas.”
Aidan Lucas, without the first personality or the second personality.
He is just… Aidan Lucas.
Seeing a hint of displeasure in the man’s eyes, the muscles in Professor Marlowe’s legs involuntarily trembled.
“Continue your work here in the future, apply for the research funding you need, and report the projects as usual. Don’t worry, I will make Theodore Lucas pay for your humiliations.”
Aidan Lucas stood up and straightened his slightly wrinkled suit.
“Mr. Lucas, are… are you leaving now?” Seeing Aidan Lucas making a move to leave, Professor Marlowe asked immediately.
Aidan Lucas paused and looked back, “Is there something?”
“No, no… No, nothing… nothing…”
God knows how much Professor Marlowe wanted to ask whether he was the first personality, the second personality, or a fusion of Aidan Lucas.
But in the end, he dared not ask.
Aidan Lucas now seemed imposing.
Different from the second personality’s icy sharpness, he was like a blade covered in dust for many years, inconspicuous yet awe-inspiring even without showing its edge.
Aidan Lucas gave Professor Marlowe a deep look, then turned to leave.
But before he could step out the door, he suddenly stopped.
“Mr. Marlowe…” A cool and magnetic voice rose.
“Yes.” Professor Marlowe hurriedly approached.
He didn’t know what had gotten into him.
Although he had always feared Aidan Lucas, it was never to the extent that a mere word from him would make him wait so cautiously.
Even the ice-cold and ruthless second personality did not instill such a feeling of intimidation from a mere sentence, making one almost wish to prostrate at his feet.
“Give me that USB drive,” Aidan Lucas said nonchalantly, turning back as his bottomless gaze fell on Professor Marlowe’s neck.
Professor Marlowe felt a chill at his neck.
“Mr. Lucas, that USB drive is…”
“I know, to be given to Lily,” Aidan Lucas’s detached voice carried a trace of languor.
A flicker of hesitation crossed Professor Marlowe’s eyes.
He remembered that the second personality, Mr. Lucas, used to call the Young Lady ‘Lily.’
Even ‘Heart Lily’ would have been fine, but he had never used ‘Little Lily’ as a term of address.
Professor Marlowe immediately reached into his pocket and clutched the USB drive tightly.
It was the only thing left by Mr. Lucas’ second personality, and he had promised him to give it to the Young Lady.
“Mr. Lucas, no, I can’t…” Professor Marlowe’s hand holding the USB drive trembled slightly.
Compared to Mr. Lucas, he felt like a pitiful ant at the moment.
Just one glance from the man before him could crush him to pieces.
He had thought that his refusal would infuriate Mr. Lucas.
But unexpectedly, Aidan Lucas just frowned slightly, “Mr. Marlowe, you’re making things difficult for me.”
Then, he stepped towards Professor Marlowe and, under his apprehensive expression, bent down to his ear.
Aidan Lucas softly spoke a few words.
“He’s still inside me, I can feel it… I know it’s what you did.” His cool voice was full of menace.
Their memories had fused, they had become one.
One being, dominated by the first personality.
However, precisely because of the fusion of memories into one entity, Aidan Lucas could feel the second personality lurking within his body even more clearly.
He knew that it had not disappeared.
Professor Marlowe’s eyes widened in astonishment, and even his mouth was agape to its fullest.
He had thought his actions were flawless, but to his dismay, Mr. Lucas had seen through him so easily.
In a daze, before Professor Marlowe could react, Aidan Lucas had pulled the USB drive out of his grip.
The USB drive, in an instant, fell into the hands of Aidan Lucas.
