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

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
