“Then who am I?” Rhea asked.
"My master," Mike answered after hesitating for a moment.
Rhea narrowed her eyes to study him. "Really? But you don't seem to listen to my instructions."
"You're my master, but you still need to do what you promised." Mike frowned. "The boss used to let me see my son over video calls, but now I have no news of him. You—"
"He's dead," Rhea suddenly said.
Stunned, Mike said, "What did you say?"
"I said…" Rhea said emphatically, "He's dead. Your son is already dead."
"Wh-what?" Mike's voice quivered.
"That's a lie! Nicky… Nicky’s fine."
"I'm not lying. Fred killed your son," Rhea sighed and said, "I didn't tell you about it because I was worried that it would be too huge a blow to you. However, since you insisted on knowing, I guess you would find out sooner or later. Just know that I won't be able to help you because he's dead."
