Mike was surprised. He furrowed his brows and looked her up and down, seemingly trying to decide whether or not to trust her.Rhea placed her arm on the car window frame and stared at him with a huge smile as if daring him to come with her.However, Mike suspected she had an ulterior motive, so he glanced at her car, then looked over his shoulder at his.‘This place is remote; few might notice my car if I abandon it here. Rhea calculates almost every step she makes. She intentionally led me here and might’ve even expected me to stop her.’“Why? Are you afraid?” Rhea tapped her steering wheel and said, “Forget it then! Just remember that it’s a one-time offer, got it? Bye!”She waved, started her car, and reversed it, seemingly preparing to leave.“Wait a minute!” Mike could not bother if it were a trap. After all, he had been stalking her for two days, so he could not give up now. He knew it would be harder to find out what she had been doing if he did.‘Rhea knows I’ve been sta

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

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

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

"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
