However, the enormous room seemed empty until…
A short man jumped down from the chair behind the desk, walked around it, and walked in front of Mike. "What's wrong?"
"Rhea Moore is dead!" Mike replied bluntly.
He was shocked to receive the news. Initially, he thought that it might be fake and that it was all a ploy. However, judging from the various sources and the current situation, it may be true.
"I know." The man looked up at him with his eyes slightly narrowed behind the mask, looking slightly displeased.
Mike got the hint immediately and squatted down. Only then did he see a little satisfaction in that man's eyes.
"Why is it so sudden? Why did the factory explode? I've done many experiments before, and there has never been such a problem. Is she… faking her death?" Mike asked tentatively.
He still felt like this was a game that the man and Rhea had set up.
However, the man took a deep look at him and sighed. Then he climbed up on the chair behind Mike and sat down, shaking his legs. "We'll only know if it's a fraudulent death after the autopsy report comes out. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
"So, you didn't plan this?" Mike looked at the man suspiciously, obviously still having his doubts.
"Me?" The man raised his eyebrows and laughed. "Why would I plan that? Rhea is just like you, my right-hand man. What good does it do for me to fake her death?"
