Mike took a deep breath to calm his shaken heart. "Rhea, I won't participate in your madness. You can do as you please!"

He was about to leave when he heard Rhea’s voice behind him, “Mike Corden, do you think you still had the option to get off this ride once you entered my car?”

“I’ve already gotten out of it.” Mike turned to look at her, fully aware of what she meant. Being in the car meant something entirely different. Still, he feigned ignorance, knowing he would also be insane to participate in her madness.

"I don't care whether you truly don't understand or are pretending not to. Anyway, now that you know, there’s no opportunity to refuse!" Rhea spoke coldly, her expression becoming eerie.

Mike met her cold gaze. As the two were at a standstill, the garage door suddenly made a sound, grabbing their attention. Rhea immediately reached for her waist, turning to the garage entrance warily, while Mike remained motionless.

The garage door slowly opened, and a figure appeared at t

    Rhea stood behind her mother, silently watching her figure with deep, enigmatic eyes."He is my colleague," Rhea spoke calmly, "He’s aware of this situation too.""Colleague?" Maria turned to look at her daughter. She was uncertain and somewhat skeptical.Maria had been living in pain since Rhea faked her death. The former only regained her courage to continue living when her daughter returned. Maria followed her daughter’s instructions without question since her return.Whatever her daughter said, she obeyed. Maria had no other desires as long as her daughter was content. Nothing else mattered to Maria anymore."Yup." Rhea nodded, looking at Mike. "This is my mom. Since you're here today, you're already an accomplice. Do you think you can still stay out of this?"Mike hesitated. He did not want to get involved but seemed trapped between a rock and a hard place. After a moment of thought, he decided to bring the situation under control.He took a deep breath and looked at Maria.

    Maria became nervous when Rhea said they were about to leave. “You’re leaving so soon? I haven’t even had a chance to talk to you much. Oh, I had someone prepare the kale soup for you and…”Before she could finish, Rhea impatiently interjected, “I already told you there’s no need for such things. I don’t have time to have soup. I have important matters to tend to. Don’t you understand?!”Her voice almost turned into a roar due to her frustration. Maria was shocked and stood there, not knowing what to say.Mike observed the situation and said, “Indeed, we have important things to do. You can save the kale soup for later.”His words seemed to ease Maria as her expression softened, and she repeated, "Yes, yes, you can have it later. I'll save it for you, and you can have it when you return!"Rhea was somewhat surprised that Mike helped defuse the situation. She glanced at him briefly but showed no gratitude. Instead, she waved and said, "All right, we're leaving. Take care of him. If

    Mike felt a sharp object pressing against his waist. Although he could not see it, he knew it was unpleasant.Mike hesitated momentarily and cleared his throat. Then he answered the call and put it on speakerphone without a second thought, “Hello, what’s the matter? Is there any news from Lily? Did she find the person? Did she locate the organization? Has she rescued my son?”A series of questions followed, leaving no time for Alexander to catch his breath. There was a moment of silence from the other end of the phone."Are you going to say anything?" Mike's voice sounded irritable.Rhea shot him a warning look, and her grip on him tightened slightly. Mike felt the sharp object, seemingly piercing through his clothes. He instinctively tried to move away, but she moved faster and pressed him down firmly.Finally, Alexander spoke, "Where were you just now?"That one question instantly made the atmosphere in the car extremely tense.Mike looked at Rhea. He noticed her scrutinizing

    Rhea watched Mike’s expression and maintained her posture without moving. After a while, she slowly withdrew her hand as if she had already believed him.However, Mike remained motionless, leaning against the wall desolately. "Just kill me. Kill me, and I'll be relieved!""What are you talking about?" Rhea said coldly. "You don't want to save your son anymore? Do you honestly think he's already dead?""Whether he's dead or not, what difference does it make? Can you help me save him? Alexander couldn't do it, so how can you?" Mike turned to look at her and noticed the long needle she was holding.The needle was no ordinary sewing needle or a regular hospital needle. It was longer than usual.‘If that’s what Rhea pressed against me earlier, it’s safe to assume it can pierce my clothes and penetrate my internal organs.’With that thought, Mike broke out in a cold sweat.Rhea remained nonchalant and glanced at him, saying, “How do you know I can’t?”"Heh, stop bragging. You don't e

    "What else can the organization do with us? Keep you and me around to expose all their secrets?" Rhea chuckled.Mike asked calmly, “Then why are you desperately trying to find them and walking into a death trap?”“Of course not. I’m seeking hope because I don't want to die. Now I’m giving you a second chance to cooperate with me by offering you a way out too. Do you understand?” Rhea looked somewhat proud.It was as though she was his savior, and he should be grateful to her.Mike did not mince his words and asked directly, "Just by relying on Cameron Rollins?""Yes, him, among others. I just want the organization to see my potential," Rhea paused and continued, "Of course, everyone has shortcomings. I don't have your wealth and worldwide connections or your network. So there are some things only you can do."Mike said deeply, “Once I find the organization’s whereabouts and connect you to it, you’ll kick me aside like garbage.”Rhea chuckled softly. "Of course not! I told you. E

    "Why not?" Rhea replied dismissively, "Have you ever considered that we don't know much about the organization? We think it's powerful and mysterious because we've never had contact with the top people.“We don't know the puppeteer behind the organization or the real mastermind. Indeed, the organization can do many things we can’t and has enough financial resources to support its experiments.“Still, does that automatically make it invincible?” Her rhetorical question puzzled Mike.He blinked at her and asked, “What do you mean?”“I mean, do you genuinely think the organization is as formidable as we imagine?” Rhea smiled and leaned back, looking ahead. “Regardless of how the organization is, it depends on our conjectures and guesses.“Perhaps it’s not as powerful as we think, and maybe we can take it down before replacing it. People always fear the unknown and are afraid of things they don’t understand. So, we’ve always obediently followed the organization’s orders.She shrugged

    Meanwhile, Lily might have already become a victim of R10.…Lily endured another day in the enclosed environment. She never thought life could be so unbearable. In the past, she was always confident and could find hope for herself, no matter what dangers she faced.However, she felt hopeless here, unable to find the slightest loophole.‘That’s not right! I must be in Hyderland, in Kingsland. Although I don’t dare say the Russell family’s power can shake Kingsland, they would have found me already. Am I no longer within Kingsland’s range?’Lily tried every method she could think of, but no helpful tools were around, making it challenging to locate herself.The glass in this place was soundproof. Based on Lily’s probing over the past two days, even though she appeared to be in a hotel with corridors outside, her instincts told her otherwise.The man had not returned since his appearance yesterday, and Lily’s routine remained the same. Someone would bring food and clean up, but sh

    After setting up everything, the doctor glanced at Lily. However, it was only brief, without speaking. His gaze seemed to signal her over, but she stayed still since he said nothing. Lily wanted to see what they were up to."Ms. Christian, please come and have a seat here," one guard said.Lily glanced at him and asked, "What will you do?""Please don't be nervous. It's just a routine health check-up for you," the person replied.Lily squinted, sensing it would not be anything good. She directly refused, "My health is fine. I don't need any check-ups!" ‘Why would they suddenly want to examine me? Who knows what their intentions are?”"Ms. Christian, this is for your benefit. If you don't consider yourself, at least think about your unborn child," the person continued, "Please rest assured. It's a typical health check-up, nothing more.“However, if you continue being stubborn, we must take extreme measures. At that point, we can't guarantee you won't get hurt."There was an evi

    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
