While Alexander considered going to Rhea to inquire about Cameron’s whereabouts, someone came to him voluntarily. "Mr. Russell."Alexander recognized the person as Cameron’s personal guard. More precisely, this person was Cameron’s undercover guard. Typically such a person would go unnoticed by ordinary people. Still, Alexander had seen this person once or twice after becoming close to Cameron.Marcus was a first-class guard. When Alexander saw him, he knew there must be some news about Cameron’s whereabouts.Marcus glanced around and asked, “Can we talk in private?”He would appear ordinary if he were in a crowd and did not stand out. However, Alexander knew he possessed formidable abilities. Not only was Marcus skilled in combat, but he was also well-versed in various weapons.Marcus being by Cameron’s side ensured the latter had all-rounded protection. Therefore, when Rhea kidnapped Cameron, the latter had intended for it to happen. Otherwise, Rhea could not have taken Cameron
“Of course.” Marcus acknowledged and finally left.Afterward, Alexander looked at the item Marcus handed him.It was a passport, or to put it bluntly, a document that would allow Alexander smooth access to the Yudonia embassy. Moreover, Cameron had also written a note for Alexander, besides the passport, stating that Alexander was a friend and requesting the other party to receive him well.Although the passport seemed ordinary, it was a tremendous help to Alexander. Although he had already found out about the embassy, it was not somewhere one could enter freely. That was why he had taken so long to look for a solution.The passport and note Cameron gave Alexander was timely assistance.‘Things will go much smoother with these.’…On the fifth day after giving birth, Lily felt her body had recovered quite a bit. The pain from her wound was no longer as prominent. Of course, vigorous movements still caused some discomfort. Still, it was much better than before.Occasionally, she
Upon hearing the voice, Lily paused and then opened her eyes, quickly locating the source of the sound. Her surroundings were full of chairs, with no unnecessary items. Right in front of her was a large folding screen from which the voice came.Lily looked ahead while calmly sitting in the wheelchair. She spoke mockingly, “Aren’t you proud? You think you control everything by manipulating others and making them go in circles?”The person sighed. “No, that’s not what I meant. I admire you, Ms. Christian.”"Oh?" Lily raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Do you admire my talent, abilities, or my body?"There was a moment of silence on the other end. The person seemed to contemplate something before slowly responding, "All of them.""Well, I'm honored! So, you’ll take my body once it has recovered, right?" Lily glanced down at her body as if it no longer belonged to her but was merely an item she could trade or give away."Ms. Christian, I didn't want things to develop into this situation,
More precisely, a hidden speaker was behind the folding screen, and the voice Lily heard came from it. Indeed, the organization was cunning.Although they had brought Lily here, they still refused to reveal their identities. However, it did not matter whether or not they appeared. Lily knew the person she conversed with was the one behind everything.As she picked up the speaker to examine it, an urgent and sharp voice sounded, “What harmful experiments are you talking about?”Lily was startled, and the speaker almost slipped from her hands due to the loudness. She quickly placed it on a nearby chair and stepped back while looking at it.“If you want to know, why don’t we speak face-to-face? We’ve already come this far, so why feign ignorance?”“I… Can’t appear in person.” The person paused before slowly continuing, “I’m genuinely sorry for the harm you’ve endured, Ms. Christian. It wasn’t my intention, but I had no other choice.“I had to do it, considering the bigger picture. I
Lily’s words were earth-shattering, and a strange clattering sounded from the speaker, followed by a low gasp. Lily smiled, but there was no sound after that.There was no movement, either, as no one came to take her away. It was as if everyone had forgotten she was in that room.Lily grew bored and paced around the room. Then she heard a faint sound on her fifth lap as if a door had opened. She instinctively turned toward the sound, but there was no movement. She knew there were other doors in the room.Then Lily heard a wheelchair rolling on the floor. However, the wheelchair she had arrived in remained untouched. When she turned again, she saw movement behind the folding screen.Another wheelchair slowly emerged, and on it was an older woman. The woman frowned slightly as a man pushed her wheelchair while Fred stood behind the older woman with his cane.Lily stood rooted and quietly looked at the woman. They locked eyes for a moment and fell into a momentary silence.Fred spok
The queen sat in the wheelchair and gently called out to Lily, “I’m sorry. I admit it’s unfair, but do you believe in destiny?”Lily was surprised. “Do your people believe in that?”“I do!” The older woman nodded. “Well, perhaps I didn’t when I was young, but I do now that I’m weaker. You might not believe me, but I’m not afraid of dying. It’s just that there are many things I haven’t completed yet, and my people still need me.“I’m not ready to die, and you’re the most suitable candidate out of so many people in the world. Even your blood type is similar to mine. Don’t you think it’s your destiny? So, I’m very sorry, but I have no other choice.”She spoke earnestly with a gentle look, but what she wanted to do was vile. Lily smiled and found a place to sit and gaze at the older woman. “What happens when my body grows old and weak?”“It won’t. Your body will remain well-preserved with R10. Besides, my country's most brilliant doctors and scientists will take good care of it.” Th
Lily stared sideways at them momentarily. Then she chuckled indifferently and said, “Don’t mind what I said, okay? I know how easy it is to talk about other people, but when it comes to doing it ourselves…”She looked at Fred and continued, “Besides, as you said, it would only work if the person has the same blood type, and yours might differ. Perhaps I am indeed your best choice.”“Yes, you’re right!” Fred quickly said, seemingly having just remembered it. “My blood type isn’t similar to Her Majesty’s. If not, I would’ve made the sacrifice without hesitation. Don’t try to sow discord between me and Her Majesty. My loyalty is unquestionable!”“Yes, indeed, you’re loyal. Building such a massive lab and implementing such an extensive experimental project is undoubtedly impossible for anyone to achieve overnight." As Lily remarked casually, she observed the queen’s expression.Although the older woman did not speak, her frown deepened as her expression grew grave.“I’ve done everythi
“Well, he’s here,” Alexander told Dr. Blanc and hung up.“Let him in,” he instructed.With his clothes wrinkled and dirty, Mike looked so messy that those unfamiliar with him might not be able to recognize him.Mike practically threw himself inside when the car door opened. He snapped, “How could you, Alex?! I passed on the news to you, but you let them lock me up!“What do you take me for? A guinea pig? Who the hell were those people? They took my blood and ran tests on me as if I was infected with the virus. What the f*ck was that all about?”Mike knew who Dr. Blanc and his men were, and they naturally did not reveal their identities to him. Although they did not mistreat him, he was upset about being locked up for no reason for two days in the X Department building.Therefore, the first thing Mike wanted to do upon his release was to vent his frustrations on Alexander.Alexander stayed silent and let him vent, then handed him a towel.Puzzled, Mike looked at it and asked, “W
