“The organization doesn’t need us either,” Mike said with mixed emotions, not trying to convince Rhea.
‘All Rhea cares about is her research. She’s obsessed with it, and getting her to fight against the organization or shut down this evil place is impossible. It’s pointless to convince her since only her experiments and fame matter to her.’
Rhea nodded, “Yes, you’re right! However, the world always needs someone valuable. As long as I prove useful to them, they’ll need me. Just like how they need Lily now.”
A mysterious smile formed on her face after a while. “However, it won’t be long for her case.”
She said it before, but Mike did not take it too seriously. Now that she had repeated it, he couldn’t help but ask, “What the hell do you mean? Why wouldn’t the organization need Lily? Anyone could be a test subject. Why must it be Lily? With her abilities—”

Mike was surprised. He wanted to say that but wondered what Rhea was trying to say.
