Meanwhile, Alexander removed the hidden earpiece from his ear and looked at Austin. Austin looked anxious. “How was it?”“He said it,” Alexander said simply.Dr. Blanc made the late-night trip to set Mike up. They wanted to see if he would ask Rhea about it, and he did. From their conversation, Alexander could tell Mike had yielded to Rhea for Nick’s sake.‘Why would he still trust Rhea? How can that woman help him find Nick? Even if she could, how’s Rhea supposed to rescue Nick? What the hell is Mike thinking?’Alexander felt like confronting Mike, but he could not. They had set Mike up so that he would unwittingly relay false information to the organization. Their effort would go to waste if Alexander were to interrogate him.Alexander sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.Austin noticed Alexander’s saddened look and patted his shoulder. “Don’t be sad. Humans are complex beings, aren’t we?”“I’m not sad. I just don't get it.” Alexander shook his head. “Why does he tru

“No, your reasoning does make sense,” Alexander said hastily. Austin was baffled.Alexander elaborated, “You said Rhea might’ve bewitched Mike.”Austin nodded stupidly, still not getting his point.“That could be it. Rhea controlled Cameron using a drug last time. Although she inevitably failed, it doesn’t mean she won’t succeed this time, nor has she stopped developing such a drug.” Alexander grew somewhat excited.Austin caught on and thought it was likely. He nodded repeatedly and grew convinced, saying, “You’re right. That must be it. A drug like that is more probable than an invisibility potion. Also, we’ve encountered something like that drug before.“Besides, I've read about that in ancient texts. Rhea has likely controlled Mike using a drug, so he has to listen to her,” Austin grew excited, pleased with himself. He thought he was a genius for bringing it up.“Yeah, that should be it,” Alexander added, “Mike’s only doing what Rhea says because he’s under her control. As

“It’s me.” Hearing Mike’s voice, Alexander and Austin shared a stunned look. They felt Mike had caught them red-handed doing something without his knowledge. Of course, they were just trying to figure out what happened to him.Alexander gave Austin a reassuring look, then got up to open the door. “What’s the matter?”Mike looked tired as he stood at the doorway, his eyes bloodshot. He looked inside and asked. “Austin’s here too, right?”Alexander glanced over his shoulder. “Yeah.”“Can we talk inside?” Mike raised his brow, then rubbed it. Feeling he was acting a bit off, Alexander nodded and stepped aside. “Come in.” He left the door open and led Mike inside before pulling a chair over. “Take a seat.”However, Mike did not sit down. Instead, he stood beside the table and looked at the two. “You were talking about me, weren’t you?”Embarrassed, the other two fell silent. Not knowing what to say, Austin coughed with his fist held to his mouth. However, Alexander bluntly an

Alexander and Austin could not understand why Mike admitted it.‘Isn’t he under the drug’s control? If not, why would he obey Rhea’s commands? Did we guess wrongly, and Mike’s willingly working with Rhea? Is he confronting us to show off what he did?’Not keeping them in suspense, Mike continued, “Yes, I was the one who freed Rhea, and I did it on purpose.”“She hypnotized me,” Mike added.“Hypnotized?” The other two did not consider that. However, hearing the term, Austin felt it made more sense now. “Hypnosis,” Mike nodded and continued, “Of course, she might have used some drug, but I wasn't sure how it worked. What I do know is that she performed hypnosis on me. She wanted to control me so that I would let her go. So, I did.” Austin blinked in confusion. He held up a hand and said, “Hang on. What did you just say? You knew she wanted you to free her, and you just did it?”When Mike nodded, Austin could not help but say, “Do you know what you’re talking about? Are you und

“You want to know why she failed to hypnotize me, don’t you?” Mike asked first. Alexander nodded. Austin was curious about it as well. ‘If Mike only intentionally helped Rhea, why was she so confident that her hypnosis had worked?’“I guess you could call it a coincidence. I’m predisposed to insomnia to begin with. Years ago, I slept lightly and woke up easily due to busy schedules and irregular routines. It was always the same, even when I took sleeping pills.”After a pause, he said steadily, “I later visited many doctors and even a hypnotist. At first, hypnosis did work, but I grew immune to it over time. Maybe my subconscious mind was resisting it. Anyway, I found it harder to fall asleep.”“When Nick was around, my insomnia got better. However, recently…” Alexander and Austin could have guessed what happened. Since a highly dangerous organization had captured Mike’s son, it would be hard for an ordinary person like Mike to fall asleep, let alone someone with his condition

Mike was calm enough to consider all that and did not blame Alexander and Austin. They were right, after all. However, Mike did not enjoy being suspected and treated as an outsider. Having sensed something was up, he struggled inwardly for a long time before telling them the truth. “I’m glad you’re not upset.” Alexander nodded. He noticed Mike was no longer the same.Although Mike was still worried about his son, he did not let his emotions influence his thoughts and judgments. “You told Rhea what Dr. Blanc said—” Austin felt Mike shouldn’t have done so. However, Mike interrupted him. “Firstly, didn’t Dr. Blanc claim the invisibility potion was real to test my reaction?”“Yes,” Austin said as he palmed his cheek.Although Mike did not mind it, he felt embarrassed admitting this.“So there’s nothing wrong if I told her about it, right?” Mike shrugged and explained, “Also, I know I shouldn’t mention Dr. Blanc, but I doubt they know who he is or what he does. They would only sus

Austin was the first to break the silence. He cleared his throat and looked at Alexander askingly. “So, what should we do next? Pretend we don’t know anything or act like we’re assuming Mike’s under Rhea’s control?”Pointing at Mike, Austin pondered this but did not know what to do. The situation was too complicated for him to handle. He had a way with medical problems, but their scenario was complicated.‘How do we solve it without incurring complications?’Unable to figure it out, Auston consulted Alexander.After some thought, Alexander said, “Let’s pretend you didn’t confess to us and that we’re still suspecting you. Let Rhea keep thinking you’re under her control.” Mike nodded in agreement. He would not have told the other two about his plan if he was not concerned about them jeopardizing it. He only told Austin and Alexander to make them realize the situation was not as bad as they had imagined.Mike also did not want them to think he was incompetent. In other words, he ha

“It doesn’t seem like Mike’s been poisoned. However, his wrist pulse is abnormal, so something must be wrong with his body. The organization’s creations are bizarre and anti-human, so I can’t tell.“Still, his life isn’t in danger for now.” After a pause, Austin looked at Mike. “In other words, you’re not dying anytime soon.”Although it sounded blunt, Austin was being candid. “That’s good enough.” Mike withdrew his hand, unbothered. “As long as I don’t die anytime soon, it won’t be an issue.”“What the hell are you talking about? Being okay now doesn’t mean you’ll be okay later on. Various viruses don’t take effect immediately, okay? No one knows what her virus will do to you!” Austin was upset because he had suffered from Rhea’s creation before.Seeing Mike taking it so lightly, he could not help but feel angry. Austin thought Mike had not realized how severe the onset of the poison could be. However, Austin was wrong—that was not what Mike meant. The tired yet resolute Mike
