That was why Austin was willing to believe something, even if it seemed far-fetched.
Mike’s thoughts became clearer after calming down. He said, “Should we trust Rhea and make a deal with the organization?”
Alexander did not answer because he also needed to consider their options.
‘We’ve confirmed that Rhea has used the virus on herself. Still, we don’t know to which extent its effects have taken hold or if there will be any complications or aftereffects.’
After a moment, Alexander decided to put the matter aside. “Let’s not make the deal first.”
“You don’t trust her?” Austin looked at him.
‘Well, she hardly tells the truth. It’s understandable if Alex doesn’t believe her.’
However, Alexander shook his head. “It’s the organization I worry about. So far, Lily has been important to them. Why? Because they treat her as a…vessel.”
He paused toward the end because he found it hard to utter the word.
“Will the organization let Lily go if they find a better vessel or know someone can replace her? Will they be that merciful?” Mike stared at the floor and murmured, “They’ll kill her!”
‘These assholes won’t free Lily, even if a substitute exists. Instead, they’ll end her life.’
