In response to Lily’s question, the man laughed indifferently and said slowly, “That’s nothing you should worry about. It could be you, me, or any other intellectuals, but never those idiots.”

Arrogance and disdain were evident in his tone, making Lily frown as she scoffed. “You think you’re one of the intellectuals, then?”

“Of course!” He opened his arms and answered confidently. “Haven’t the recent happenings proved my intelligence? I was the one who planned everything and threw the world into chaos. If you hadn’t disrupted the process, I would’ve completed the entire project by now!”

Speaking of which, he felt it was a pity for not recruiting Lily since the beginning. If he had done so, he would have succeeded by now. However, he did not think Lily would have such an essential role in the project then.

The other researchers could not blend the fragrances and the herbs ideally after she left, causing the project to delay until now. They had no choice but to bring her back into t

    Lily first looked at Mike, then averted her gaze from the tiny man before her, rejecting his request upfront, “No! I have my family, friends, and career out there. How will I contact them if I give you my phone? I’m here to work for your organization, not to become your prisoner.“Plus, whatever I have on my phone is my private information. How could I turn it in? Also, how would I ensure you guys won’t harm my family the second I turn my phone in? I need to know they’re safe at all times!”“You’re overthinking.” The man replied slowly, “Since you’re willing to cooperate with us, you’re part of us. Why would we make things difficult for our people? Plus, we don’t need to do anything for your family. We wouldn’t want to cause any problems here, either.”That made Lily sneer. “What a joke! It’s not like you guys haven’t hurt anyone for no reason at all before this. You don’t trust me, and likewise, I don’t trust you. In what way can I be sure that you won't create problems for your ow

    Lily and Mike returned downstairs using another elevator. Initially, she thought they would head to the lab directly, but unexpectedly, Mike brought her to rest first. Lily looked around her as she walked, and sure enough, every hallway and corner was full of surveillance cameras. There were already countless cameras within her sight, not to mention those hidden cameras in the dark.That meant her every move was under their watch here. It would be tough for her to do anything. Mike led the way but said nothing to her. The two stayed silent and walked to another building. Then they went upstairs again and stopped before a door. Mike entered the password, and the door opened with a click.Finally, he turned to look at Lily. “Come on in.”Lily looked at him hesitantly before glancing around the room. The room had simple furnishings, but it was neat and clean. All the necessities were prepared as well. Then she looked outside the room again.The corridor was silent, like there was

    A moment of silence later, Mike still could not hold himself back. “I promised Alex I’d keep you safe, so I won’t let you die here.”His tone was determined as he repeated his promise, even if Lily did not take the matter to heart. She walked around the room and realized it was pretty small but much better than where she stayed when she worked for X Department.All the bedding and other necessities were prepared. Then she looked at the bathroom and breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed they did not install any surveillance cameras in her room or the bathroom. If they did, that would rid her of all privacy.After dealing with this matter for quite some time, she was already tired and pulled a chair closer to take a seat. When she noticed Mike still standing at the door, looking demure, she said softly, “It’s okay. I didn’t choose to do this in the heat of the moment, so you don’t have to get so worked up over this.“Even if I didn’t say those things, they wouldn’t keep me here

    After Mike left, Lily checked the entire room carefully and finally understood his reason for placing the device on her earlier.There was an audio monitoring system in the room’s ventilation ducts. Someone was monitoring Lily and everyone else in the building for their words. Unsurprisingly, they had other monitoring systems besides surveillance and hidden cameras. Living here was much scarier than living in prison.However, Lily had prepared herself for such situations. It was not like it had caught her off guard. She removed her phone from her pocket and picked up a tiny card from her bag with a few threads of silver-like strings and something resembling a mini lighter.After setting the thing up, she connected it to her phone and texted Alexander, telling him she was safe.Alexander was the one who gave her the item, which was a high-tech device created by his company. They were only in their prototype phase and unavailable in the marketplace. After connecting the device to her

    Lily knew the building was unique, confirming her guess after stepping in. Firstly, the place was built with unique materials. It had a large number of acoustic pads on the walls and had more vents than ordinary buildings.The place's lighting was not ideal, so it was a little dark and would make anyone feel depressed. Still, the lighting should not have been so terrible, judging from the building’s architecture. Hence, there was only one reason to explain the situation—it was done deliberately as a protective measure.The hallway had warm lights, but the wattage must have been low because it was still quite dim. Walking through the hallway made Lily feel like she was entering another world, not to mention the door that closed behind them with a bang.Startled by the sound, Lily turned to look before averting her gaze to Mike. He seemed calm, evidently used to it, and said without surprise, “You’ll get used to it soon.”Lily just let out a mocking laugh. ‘Mike is wrong because I’

    Mike shrugged to indicate that he did not know either. Truthfully, if it were not for Lily, he would not have been directly involved in the experiment. Although he came here many times, he mostly played the supervisor role and hardly knew about the detailed procedures and what these things were.The “boss” probably did not put too many restrictions on Mike because he was a layperson. The boss knew Mike would not create trouble since he took Nick hostage. The boss also needed a Hylander, like Mike, to help with the project.At the same time, the organization needed Mike’s money as an investment and cooperation, so they registered his iris and fingerprints into the system so that he could access the facilities. However, if one were to ask Mike about the plants or their purpose, he would not know how to answer.Since Lily did not get her desired answer, she strolled over and carefully observed the abnormally huge poisonous plant behind the glass enclosure. She reached out despite her

    Lily thought nothing more of it, lowered her head, and began reading the date. She flipped through the pages and discovered the same problem she faced with the experiment.One must naturally subdue the scent to maximize the drug’s potency. Also, to let the latter emit its natural aromas, the potency would not be optimum. The biggest problem was the intention to combine the two perfectly.Lily could not understand why they insisted on such perfection, as not being perfect was the norm, and true perfection was an imperfection that came with defects.Not to mention that the earlier research was intended to cure people. The patients would accept if the scent of the spices were milder, and there was no need to get rid of the herbal smell completely.When she later discovered that the research’s goal was not to develop a medicine but poison, she understood the organization was not trying to alleviate others’ suffering. Instead, it was to put people under the drug’s influence unknowingly.

    Mike was puzzled and did not know why the worker was so hostile. He cleared his throat again, putting on airs. He asked, “Is the data complete?”“Aren’t they all there?” The woman bluntly answered him with a question instead.Mike was baffled.“Mrs. Russell says the data files aren’t complete. Can you check if anything is missing?” Mike asked, then tried to pressure her, “You should know the importance of the experiment. For Mrs. Russell to fully take over the project, we must compile all available data.”The worker looked at Mike casually, then at Lily, seemingly directing her words to Lily. “The data files are complete. I don’t blame her if she doesn’t get it.”In other words, the woman blamed Lily for finding fault with the data and that she was the one who failed to comprehend them.“You…” Mike was upset that the woman openly defied his instructions.Nonchalant, Lily raised her hand slightly. “Since you’re so certain the data is complete, I know why you kept failing.

    Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, “There’s something I find strange.”“What is it?” Mike asked after comforting his son.“Instead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldn’t we reach him?”After some thought, Mike answered, “There are two possibilities. It’s probably due to poor signals, or he doesn’t want us to contact him.”The two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.‘Why can’t we contact Ross? Is he planning something?’…Three days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queen’s leg and looked up at her, saying, “You should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, it’ll take some time before you can stand.”Suddenly, Lily chuckled.“Why are you laughing?” Yasmin touched her legs. She had begun to regain sensation in her legs over the last two days. She then began to believe that she could get up. However, the queen was hesitant when the queen heard Lily chuckle.Lily shook her head

    Lily straightened up and said without resentment, “Of course, you wouldn’t.”“That’s… quite a pity,” the queen murmured thoughtfully.“Well, there’s a price to pay for everything. That’s how the world balances itself,” Lily continued, “I can’t stop you if you must carry on with R10. Still, I won’t witness whether or not it succeeds. I just wish the outcome isn’t something you’ll regret.”Lily smiled and turned to head out the door.Rick heard their conversation as he stood guard outside. After exchanging looks with Lily as she brushed past him, he entered the room and saw the needles in Yasmin’s legs. “Your Majesty, those needles—”The queen waved dismissively. “It’s okay. Lily will remove them later.”Even so, Rick was wary. “You’re being too careless, Your Majesty. What if that woman—”“She wouldn’t,” Yasmin interjected, shaking her head."Why do you trust her so much?" Rick asked despite himself. The queen fell silent. If Rick had not asked her that, she would not have rea

    Lily took out a cloth and unfolded it, revealing a row of silver needles inside. Yasmin was surprised she carried the needles with her.“Tell me. What do you want?” The queen took a deep breath to calm herself. She then reminded herself that she could always say no to Lily’s request. Still, Yasmin was cautious about Lily trying to trick her.Lily casually said, "I left because Prince Ross wanted to help me. I hope you don’t punish him.""That's it?" Yasmin thought she had misheard Lily. 'Is she trying to talk terms with me just so that I won't punish my son?' she wondered in disbelief."Ross is my son. I won't harm him. Don't you think you've wasted an opportunity by making such a request?" The queen shook her head. "I wasn’t sure if you’d blame him, but he did rescue me once. If I don't do anything, it would be ungrateful of me," Lily said gently, "Also, didn’t you already lock him up?"Yasmin was puzzled. "No, I only sent him back to Yudonia. He kept trying to get me to sto

    "Three days," Lily replied.“That’s it?!” Yasmin was in disbelief. She thought Lily would try to buy some more time and suspected she would say the process would take several months or even years.‘I haven’t felt my legs for over a decade. I wouldn’t mind waiting for three more days.’“Are you sure I can get up and walk in just three days?” Yasmin pressed her legs hard but felt nothing. She would have treated her legs long ago if it were that easy.The queen had visited many famous doctors from various countries, but they could only stop her legs from getting weaker. However, Lily confidently told Yasmin that she could fix her legs so quickly.Yasmin wanted to believe it.After some consideration, Lily said, “I can’t guarantee that you’ll walk as fast as you once could. After all, you haven’t used your legs for a long time, and your muscles have atrophied. Still, you’ll recover slowly.”Yasmin nodded repeatedly, thinking it was good enough. She never dreamed of walking as well a

    “Because only our opinions matter." Lily thought of something and said, "Unless you choose to believe Rhea.""I… don't trust anyone." Yasmin’s expression stiffened as she turned her wheelchair away."Your Majesty, I know you're dedicated to the experiment, but there are other things in life. Have you ever considered letting go of your burden to sightsee? You’ve done enough as a queen over the last few decades. Aren’t you tired of living a lonely life?”Lily gently spoke as she gazed at Yasmin’s back.The older woman caressed her knees with both hands and stared down at her legs, murmuring, “Sightsee, huh? I’ve forgotten what that’s like.”Yasmin had not used her legs for many years. Initially, she could still stand up and sometimes took a few steps. However, she could no longer get to her feet.She had grown accustomed to sitting in a wheelchair, but she felt a pang of sorrow after hearing Lily’s suggestion.Lily asked, “What if I can help you stand again? What if you can walk a

    "Yes, I returned not just for him but also for you," Lily said, "I'm sure you were anxious for my return, weren't you?"Yasmin scoffed dismissively. "Why would I be? I have my bargaining chip. Besides, did you honestly think I couldn’t bring you back?""Bargaining chip? Do you mean Nick?" Lily shook her head with a smile. "Don't forget that he's not my son. Do you think he'll be much of a bargaining chip to you if I choose to ignore him for my three children?"She did not wait for Yasmin to reply and continued, "Besides, Nick still has a father who’s willing to die for him. If Mike decides to take drastic action against you— Yes, you're a queen, and you don't care much about an insignificant businessman.“However, don't forget that his business spans worldwide. There's no guarantee what he might do. Who knows, he might spread information that can affect Your Majesty and Yudonia's reputation?""You…" The queen was exasperated but could not retort.Lily noticed it and casually said

    Rick could only remain silent at that moment.Yasmin then turned her wheelchair around and blandly said, “Bring Lily over. I’d like to see what excuses that sly woman can come up with.”"Your Majesty?" Rick was puzzled. "You know she'll just lie to you. Why must you—"Yasmin interjected, "I'd like to hear what she has to say."Rick had no choice but to leave and do as she said.As Lily was about to doze off, she heard noises from outside and opened her eyes. Immediately after, the door opened, and Rick appeared. He glared at her and spoke coldly, “Her Majesty wants to see you.”Lily glanced at Rick calmly and stood up as if she had expected his appearance. On the other hand, Mike rose before her and headed out.However, Rick stopped him as he reached the door. “You stay.”"But we came together!" Mike glanced over his shoulder at Lily, signaling her to persuade the man. Rick added, "The queen doesn’t wish to see you. Just stay here!"Lily patted Mike's shoulder and said gentl

    Everyone was shocked when Lily returned to the embassy with Mike. One of the staff members quickly left to report the news to Queen Yasmin.Meanwhile, Lily saw people peering at her and Mike from the corner. Afterward, several guarded-looking men appeared. Lilt recognized them as the queen’s attendants. They brought Mike and Lily inside and then gave the duo a thorough search.The men only relaxed after finding nothing suspicious about the duo. Even so, Lily could not see the queen as the men told her to wait in an innermost room instead.After returning to the embassy, Lily felt a sense of strange familiarity. Although she knew the place well, her mindset had changed.She previously hated the embassy and simply wanted to escape. However, she had returned with a critical mission. Not only did she have to complete it, but she also needed to leave the place in one piece.While she was calm, Mike was somewhat anxious. He clasped his hands on his knees and glanced around as he sat dow

    "I promise I'll do anything you want, okay?" Mike begged. He was desperate to see his son, so he decided to follow Lily when she insisted on returning to the embassy.Mike continued, “If any of you go with her, they might stop or suspect you. They won’t do that to me. It’s natural for me to want to see and rescue my son. I’m the best candidate because it makes sense for me to sacrifice myself for him.”After a short silence, Lily said, “You’re right.” She then looked at Alexander, who pondered before slowly raising his head and saying, “Me too.”Dominic tapped the table. "So do I."Cameron thought for a moment before saying, "I've no objections."Seeing this, Austin spread his arms and said, "Since you all agree, what else can I say? Let's do it!"It did not matter whether or not he agreed, but he just wanted to support Mike. The latter nodded and became emotional, saying, “Thanks, you guys!”"Why are you thanking us? Just be careful, and don’t be rash like you promised," Aust
