Fred squinted and asked coldly, “What do you mean by that?”

“My disappearance might not have caused much of a stir, but Dominic is different.” Lily gave the old man a gentle and respectful look. “He has saved the lives of many rich and powerful people and is well-respected in the country.

“Can you imagine the uproar when people realize someone has abducted him?” Lily studied Fred’s expression and continued, “Do you think you can complete your experiment in peace when that happens?”

Her last sentence struck a chord with Fred. After all, the experiment was what mattered to him most. Fred’s expression stiffened as he asked, “Do you think I’m scared of your government?”

“Why all the secrecy if you aren’t?” Lily cocked her head and looked at her hand. Casually, she continued, “The Hyderland government has been holding back for the sake of the ties of the two countries.

“However, how will the world see Yudonia, let alone the Hyderland government, if people discover what you’ve done? Bes

    Lily was surprised Fred would try to protect Rhea. After all, he had abandoned her and the research center before, and Rhea had to go to great lengths to find him. Still, he did not seem willing to grant Lily’s request now.“Do you think I’d just give her away?” Fred smiled. “You’re wrong. She’s skillful and loyal. Why would I want to get rid of her? As for whether you want to cooperate, it’s not your decision to make. Don’t be naive.”He turned and glanced at Dominic. “Lock him up!” Lily was puzzled. “If you don’t let Dominic go, you’d be asking for trouble,” she said, trying to warn him of the consequences. However, Fred turned halfway to her and chuckled. “Oh, yeah? But I’m not afraid of trouble. Lily, do you think I’ve forgotten how you played me last time?“I’ll settle the old score with you after the experiment.” After a pause, he thought of something and said, “Oh, yes, you don’t have much time left.”He walked out of the room and saw Rhea looking at him from a distanc

    However, Mike was not as calm or relaxed. He kept switching channels and was unable to finish a complete news report or TV episode.Ross noticed it and said, “Hey, take it easy.”“I wanted to be like you and enjoy the afternoon tea, Your Highness,” Mike let out a bitter smile, “But I just couldn’t.”“I know the situation is tough, but you can’t let it take a toll on you.” He pondered and pushed a plate of snacks toward Mike. “At least things aren’t entirely out of our control, right?” Having no appetite to eat, Mike hesitated whether or not to say something. “Do you have something to tell me?” Ross cocked his head.Although the TV was on, he noticed Mike had kept looking at him. “I do.” Nodding, Mike interlocked his fingers. He hesitated for a long while before asking, “Have you seen a little boy in the palace, Your Highness?” “A little boy?” Ross frowned, puzzled. “Yes, he’s around ten. A smart and well-behaved Hylander…” Mike gestured hopefully. As Ross lived in the p

    “But…the palace is huge, right? Could it be—” Mike still refused to give up.“It’s just not possible,” Ross interrupted, “I was born and raised there, and I know the palace inside out. They couldn’t have held a child there without me knowing.”Mike’s eyes glazed over as he fell into deep thought. What the prince said was a huge blow to him.Mike always thought Nick was in the Yudonian palace. Although he could not see his son, he knew Nick was in a safe place and would be able to reunite with him. Yet, Ross told him that Nick was not even there. ‘Where could Nicky be if not there?’Ross softened when he saw how lost Mike looked. “Don’t lose hope. Even if your son is not in the palace, he could still be in another place. Could he be in Fred’s residence instead? You know, since he’s behind this.""Do you think it's likely?" Mike asked hesitantly. Ross fell silent because he did not know for sure. Seeing his expression, Mike knew the prince could not be sure as well. After some

    "Where could he be if not the palace?" Rhea thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something. "Wait a minute. How do you know he's not in the palace? Who told you that?" Mike caught himself. He lost his cool, not knowing where his son was, but Rhea's question brought him to his senses. 'Oh, shit! I can't tell her Prince Ross told me, can I?' he thought in alarm. "I…" After a pause, he said, "Based on what Alex found out, Nick is not even in the palace. Everything is nothing but a smokescreen. Since you've established yourself in the organization, help me find where my son is, okay?""Alexander?" Rhea frowned but thought Mike’s explanation was reasonable.Indeed, Alexander had been helping Mike find Nick, but to no avail. That was why Rhea could tempt Mike. "How could you believe what Alexander told you? Has he visited the palace? Did he take you there, or are you saying he has relatives or friends in Yudonia?" Rhea retorted dismissively."He can't even save his wife. D

    Soon after Rhea hung up the phone, someone called her to the laboratory. Since it was so abrupt, she felt uneasy and thought something was up.The truth was that she had her own plans—if she could develop the invisibility potion and her hypnotic drug could work consistently, she would no longer need Fred. With those two creations, she could secure her safety and go anywhere she liked.The immortality experiment was absurd to her because it was impossible to integrate two human beings, no matter how compatible they were. Even organ transplants faced rejection issues, let alone a major surgery like that. Of course, she would never share her opinion with Fred because he firmly believed in the experiment and would not listen to her anyway.Besides, making the queen immortal was all he cared about—an obsession that puzzled Rhea.‘Can he ensure a lifetime of wealth and glory by doing this? Why wouldn’t he try to achieve immortality himself? It puzzles me why an ambitious and scheming m

    A commotion broke out, and Rhea frowned—she did not expect Fred to do this all of a sudden.Fred held up his hands to calm everyone down, saying, “We can’t afford to make mistakes due to the experiment’s complexity. So you all must stay here to make preparations. Besides…”After a pause, he glared at everyone. “As I said before, I don’t tolerate betrayals or people who can’t keep their mouths shut. So please bear with me for the experiment’s sake.“Rest assured that I will provide meals as usual, but you’ll have to hand over any communication devices.” As soon as he said that, the guards took away everything they had on them. Before Rhea could protest, one of the guards snatched her phone away. As no one was allowed to bring any communication devices into the laboratory before this, most devices the guards confiscated consisted of media players like iPods.Fred nodded in satisfaction when he saw what they were.“Your Grace.” Someone could not help but come forward. “We have all

    Fred stopped and looked at Rhea solemnly. He told her to follow him and turned to leave.Rhea hurried after him and glazed over her shoulder at the others, feeling uneasy.Instead of leaving the floor, Fred led her into an office and pointed his chin at the door. “Close it.” Rhea quickly did so and turned to see him also sitting down. Fred lit a cigarette and took a puff before looking at her with narrowed eyes, asking, “You wanted to tell me about the invisibility potion?”Rhea nodded. “Yes, Your Grace. Mike said I should be able to get my hands on the formula in two days. It’s not that I don’t want to stay in the lab, but I’m afraid of missing out on important updates.” “Your phone is with me,” Fred tapped the desk and said indifferently, “If there are any updates, I’ll tell you right away.”“But…” Rhea noticed his warning expression and said carefully, “Only I can control Mike. If anyone else were to answer his calls, it might affect the effectiveness of the hypnosis.“If h

    Rhea frowned as she sat alone in a corner, not understanding Fred’s actions and the sudden notice. ...Fred knew the decision was indeed sudden, but the queen could not hold on much longer. He knew she was in terrible shape from day one. That was why he desperately tried to find a healthy candidate to be her vessel. Since he had to postpone the experiment due to various troubles, the queen’s organs continued to weaken despite the medical team’s efforts. Her aging instilled a deep fear in Fred. Even though he was still in his prime, he knew he would also become old and die one day. After all, no one could escape death. ‘So what if I can’t obtain supreme power? I’ll still die one day and have nothing left.’Fred could not accept that, so he never stopped researching R20. Nothing could make him stop, either. Nothing else mattered once R10 succeeded. If he could live forever, he would not have to care about invisibility potions or controlling others.He knew life was limited, bu

    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
