Chapter 2251


    Fred was in disbelief as he stared wide-eyed at Ross. The former thought he was hallucinating. He had


    nned to get


    Ross to leave the embassy. Even if nothing happened to the prince, it would buy Fred time to do what he


    needed.


    Still, Ross wanted Fred to leave instead. For a moment, Fred even thought he had a point.


    ‘This is not happening!’


    Thinking so, he quickly exined, “Your Highness, it’s not that I don’t wish to go, but—”


    “So you’re willing to go, huh?” The prince interrupted, “I knew you’re most loyal to my mom despite the


    rumors. Anyway,


    this is the best opportunity for you to prove yourself. Just go, Fred. I’ll take care of everything here.


    “I’ll get two of my best bodyguards to protect you along the journey,” he said, “I thank you on behalf of my


    mom and the


    people of Yudonia!”


    As he spoke, he rested his palm on Fred’s shoulder. Thetter was at a loss for words.


    He didn’t even know how he left the prince’s room. He could only remember Ross saying, “You better


    depart as soon as


    possible to ensure nothing bad happens. I’ll have a ne ticket and travel route ready for you.


    “Don’t worry. I’ve traveled around Hydend several times and understand it well. As for any foreign


    affairs or reception, I’ll


    handle them for you. I’ll tell others you’re going on an official trip.”


    As these words rang in Fred’s ear, he wondered how things had ended up like this.


    ‘Didn’t I try to get rid of Ross? Why am I the one leaving instead?’


    Fred was still dumbfounded as he stood in the elevator.


    ‘Ross is more difficult to deal with than I imagined. I can’t allow this to happen! How can I leave here? If I


    do, he might

    discover my secrets.’


    While deep in thought, he reached his office floor. However, he did not exit the elevator and pressed the


    floor button


    again. He took a winding path and arrived at the secret undergroundboratory.


    After passing the security checks, he saw the employees working as usual and felt slightly relieved. He


    proceeded to the


    innermost part of theboratory and saw Rhea working diligently.


    Rhea did not realize he had arrived because she was preupied with her experiment. She was


    focused and serious as


    she extracted juice from a nt.


    Seeing her so, Fred did not disturb her. Instead, he waited until she injected the juice into a tube, mixed it


    with a few drops


    of other liquids, and then began observing the data. Rhea caught herself and nced to the side. She


    hurried over,


    saying, “Your Grace!”


    Fred grunted but looked pleased. “How’s the progress?”


    “I’m still working on it. I’ll try to make it work as soon as possible,” Rhea said, then added, afraid he


    would get upset,


    “Since we don’t have any relevant data to refer to, everything is still in the experimental stage.


    “I’ll hurry, but I can’t guarantee I can get it to work in just a few days.”
