When Rhea considered how the organization had abandoned the “boss,” she decided to use him as a guinea pig for her experiment to show the organization how hardworking and outstanding she was.
Her fingers sank into her palms as she clenched them and said grimly, “How could you possibly know the organization won’t need my experiment?
“You guys have no idea what my creation could do if I succeeded. It’ll be far more powerful than those R series research products!” she sneered, “Let’s not waste our f*cking time. Are you going to take me to see them or not?”
Mike noticed her getting upset and regained his composure. He sighed, “It’s not that I don’t want to do it, but… I can’t. I don’t even—”
“Mike!” Rhea impatiently interjected, “How could you not know how? Don’t you f*cking know where your son is? I don’t believe you haven’t attempted to find him.”
She focused her beautiful eyes on Mike, sizing him up. Mike knew she was convinced he knew where his son was from her gaze.
He was shocked momentarily before pursing his lips and saying, “I only know my son is somewhere in Yudonia. A place we can’t go near, let alone step foot in. However, I genuinely don’t know his exact whereabouts. I would’ve rescued my son long ago if I knew.”
After a pause, he added, “As for contacting the organization, I’m just as clueless as you are. Still, there might be a way.”
Rhea raised her brows and urged Mike to continue with a look.
“In my opinion, the higher-ups must be here in Hyderland, probably somewhere near Kingsland,” he elaborated, “Security is tight in Hyderland. Even if they are influential in Yudonia, they must keep a low profile here.”
Rhea looked up and glanced around. She knew what he meant.
‘If they can do anything they want in Hyderland, they wouldn’t have needed me to control Secretary Rollins just to secure this research facility. Of course, their purpose is to spread the virus through the vaccine to escalate the pandemic other than using it as a cover.
‘Things will go out of control, and no one can handle the situation then.’
Rhea nodded thoughtfully. “You’re right. They must be nearby, which is why Rick took Lily away alone. They must be hiding somewhere.”
She narrowed her eyes and thought about it before looking toward Mike. “That’s why I said you could do it. I know you’re close to the Russells, and locating someone using their influence is not difficult.
“Besides…” she chuckled, “Lily is being held by the organization. Her husband must be anxious. If you reveal this information to him, he’ll surely mobilize all his men to search for her. It’ll only be a matter of time before he locates the organization’s whereabouts.”
Her reasoning was so clear and logical that Mike did not know how to say no to her. He looked at her, saying, “So, what do I get in return if I help you?”
