Fred stopped and looked at Rhea solemnly. He told her to follow him and turned to leave.Rhea hurried after him and glazed over her shoulder at the others, feeling uneasy.Instead of leaving the floor, Fred led her into an office and pointed his chin at the door. “Close it.” Rhea quickly did so and turned to see him also sitting down. Fred lit a cigarette and took a puff before looking at her with narrowed eyes, asking, “You wanted to tell me about the invisibility potion?”Rhea nodded. “Yes, Your Grace. Mike said I should be able to get my hands on the formula in two days. It’s not that I don’t want to stay in the lab, but I’m afraid of missing out on important updates.” “Your phone is with me,” Fred tapped the desk and said indifferently, “If there are any updates, I’ll tell you right away.”“But…” Rhea noticed his warning expression and said carefully, “Only I can control Mike. If anyone else were to answer his calls, it might affect the effectiveness of the hypnosis.“If h

As everything came too suddenly, no one else knew about it. After making all the necessary arrangements, Fred proceeded to the queen's room.He had stationed his trusted aides there to give her the best possible care, but her condition had worsened over the past two days.Initially, Fred even suspected she and Lily had conspired on this as they both experienced health issues simultaneously. However, upon reflection, he realized they had no reason to work together. Besides, they could not have planned it, even if they wanted to. After all, Fred had locked them in separate areas.He entered the room and saw the queen breathing weakly in bed. He hurried over and bent down, warmly calling her, “Your Majesty? Your Majesty?” The queen’s eyes remained closed despite some movements. It was unclear whether she lacked strength or simply did not want to look at him.Fred waved the others off and held the queen’s hand. He said softly, “It’s me, Your Majesty. I’ve come to see you. You can h

The queen loosened her grip on the bedsheet and sighed as she lay back down. She stared at the ceiling and asked, “Where’s Lily?”"She's doing well and is waiting to become your vessel. Rest assured, I've taken good care of your new body," Fred said smilingly."My body?" The queen looked at him. "What about your new body, Fred? Have you already prepared one?"Stunned, he caught himself and chuckled. "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? The experiment we're doing is for you. I'm still young, aren’t I?" "Yes, but for how long?" the queen said coldly, "Fred, you're brilliant for planning everything ahead. You’ve worked so hard to make the experiment happen so you can use me as a guinea pig, huh?""That's not—" Fred stopped himself and suddenly began to laugh. His laughter grew louder and wilder as if he could not contain it. "You're clever, Your Majesty, and you know me best. All right, it’s as you said. However, you don't have to get mad," he said steadily, "No matter what

"I have no idea," Alexander said, "The entire embassy seems off, just like Rhea."After some thought, Mike asked hesitantly, "Do you think… Fred has started a coup?"However, it seemed unlikely. Even if that were the case, Mike knew he should still be able to reach Rhea, who was on Fred's side. At that moment, a voice said, "That's impossible."They turned and saw Ross slowly walking downstairs. "I don't think that's what’s happening.""What makes you say that?" Although Mike shared the same thought, he could not help but ask Ross. "My men are in the embassy. If there were indeed a coup, they would have told me about it. Anyway, the embassy staff members are still working as usual, but Fred could be doing something in secret," Ross said, "They haven't seen him for two days, although he has been giving out instructions.”Alexander thoughtfully added, "So he's up to something, and he might’ve told Rhea not to contact outsiders. That's interesting because Fred seems to care about t

Rhea found herself covered in sweat and was thankful she only grunted instead of shouting when she woke up. She sat up and realized her legs were numb. She checked the time and noticed it was nearly midnight. As there were several more hours to endure, she felt frustrated. It was ridiculous that everyone there knew they were going to conduct the R10 experiment, yet no one knew the detailed procedure.Rhea knew how much the experiment meant to Fred, and it was highly classified.Even the "boss" only knew part of it and was put in charge of researching and developing the drug. However, he never discussed how the organization would use the drug. Rhea thought it was because the latter phase of the experiment had been assigned to another group of people. However, she finally realized that was not the case. Although she understood the need for secrecy, she thought Fred should at least tell them about the procedure. Otherwise, they would not know what to do tomorrow.Rhea got to he
