"I'm just worried the others might get suspicious," Rhea murmured, holding the phone.Fred said dismissively, "If he can't even answer your call, we might as well cut him loose. Call him while I'm still interested, got it?"Rhea realized by now that Fred only cared about R10, and everything else was just a bonus to him. She always thought she could impress Fred with her accomplishments. However, after spending some time with Fred, she gradually understood that it did not matter what she did. No research or drug was as crucial to him as R10.Rhea did not think much about R10, but since Fred was the boss, she could only do as he said. She called Mike, and the phone rang a few times before he answered."Hello?" Mike asked nasally, seemingly just getting out of bed. "Mike, you called me?" Rhea said as she studied Fred's expression. "Huh? Oh, I called in the afternoon." Mike seemed to have forgotten about it."You called so many times. Did you have something urgent to tell me? Ha

“I heard you." Rhea held up her phone again and said blandly, "Come the day after tomorrow then.""The day after tomorrow? Why not tomorrow?" Mike said, "Don't you need it urgently?"Rhea grunted and said, "I do, but it's not that urgent. If you must come tomorrow, visit tomorrow night then."Mike asked, "Can't I come during the day?"Rhea lost her temper. "Don't push it, Mike! Do you still want to save your son or not?""Of course I do," Mike murmured, "Don't get upset. I'll deliver it tomorrow night then. Is that okay?"Calming down a little, Rhea grunted a yes and hung up. Fred sneered. "Your hypnosis isn't so effective, is it? He still dared to talk back at you." ‘My men would never dare to talk to me like that.’ However, Rhea did not think so and said, "Do you feel you have a firmer control over your men than I do to Mike?"Fred raised a brow and let out a confident look. "Isn't that the case?"Based on just now’s conversation, he did not think the hypnosis was effec

"It sure looks like it." Ross nodded in agreement. "My men in the embassy told me things have been unusual over the past two days. However, that's all they could tell me."He spread his arms, indicating that even he knew little about what was happening at the embassy. Alexander and Cameron were quiet. They exchanged a look without voicing their opinions."Secretary Rollins, what's your take?" Mike asked.After all, Cameron was there to solve the problem together with them. "I'd like to hear your thoughts first, Alex," Cameron said blandly.Alexander cleared his throat and said to Mike, "It's evident they’re doing something significant tomorrow. The embassy has been postponing meetings, and Rhea has insisted that you only go there at night.“That shows she’ll be busy with something during the day," After a pause, Alexander continued, "Besides, why did she only call you now? What was she doing during the day? Why didn't she call you earlier?"Mike frowned. "I wondered about tha

The calm before the storm felt suffocating to Lily. When it was time to deliver her dinner in the evening, nobody came. It was highly unusual because no matter how angry Fred was at Lily, he took great care of her regarding food and drinks. For the sake of the experiment, she knew he would never allow her body to suffer. Although she was not hungry, the fact that they did not deliver the meal indicated that something was up. Lily opened the door and asked the guard, "Where's my dinner?""No dinner tonight, ma'am. Please get an early rest," the guard said readily. "Why?" Lily asked, but the guard gave no reply.Besides telling her there was no dinner, he would not say another word. After some thought, Lily asked, "Where's Fred?"The guard continued to remain quiet. Lily raised her brow and then returned to her bedroom and shut the door. She sat by the bed but did not feel sleepy.'Fred hasn't shown up for quite a while, and they also didn’t deliver my dinner. Don't they care

No wonder the guards separated them into groups and left in such a way. In other words, Fred had put them in charge of different parts of the experiment.With that, the authorities could never find out how the procedure worked unless they arrested all the personnel involved.“Thank you for trusting me, Your Grace,” Rhea said.She was happy to have the only complete handbook because she felt trusted and recognized by Fred.However, Fred squeezed her shoulder as if to emphasize how crucial her task was. He said, “It’s not because I trust you, okay? I want you to have it because you’ll be in charge of the most vital step.”Rhea was puzzled as he led her toward the laboratory’s innermost area. There was a rusty iron door that had stayed shut for a very long time. However, the door automatically opened when Fred neared, not even making a creak.Finally, Rhea understood the door simply looked old and worn to avoid attention.Fred let go of her shoulder and strode inside. “Come on.
