This may be his first time leading a collaborative research project, but Ves possessed an ample amount of leadership experience. He didn't feel out of depth and the other experts had no problems complying with his orders as he asserted himself as the man in charge.
Most of the experts in his team knew what burden he shouldered and didn't wish to take his place.
If anything went wrong, all the blame would be laid at his feet.
On the other hand, if their project achieved success, Ves expected to earn most of the credit, with the other experts only able to remain on the sidelines due to their hesitation.
Every decision came at a cost.
As the experts dispersed to pursue their own research, Ves decided he wanted to get close to Qilanxo and try to interact with the beast.
