Chapter 1751


    Initially, Mike thought he could end all of this and save Nick if he obeyed all the instructions. However,


    his hope lessened as days passed.

    The trio said nothing momentarily, resulting in stiff silence in the room. The atmosphere was so tense


    that it was almost depressing.


    Lily picked up the cup before her and sipped her tea. After a while, she broke the silence, “What’s the


    point of you telling us all that today? Do you want us to look for Nicky?”


    The couple would think of a way to save Nick even if Mike did not bring the matter up. After all, the kid


    was innocent. They could not stand by and do nothing when they knew Nick was in danger.


    ‘Is that what Mike meant, though? Is that why he came to look for us today? He had never sought our


    help. Is he at hisst straw and needs our help?’


    “That’s just part of it.” That was an unexpected answer. “It’s about something more important. It’s


    about… this organization.”


    Lily was rendered speechless. She turned to meet Alexander’s gaze before looking back at Mike. “I’m


    listening.”


    Even if Mike appeared sincere and the couple understood his difficulties, they could not trust him


    entirely due to recent events. No matter what he said, they would still be doubtful of him.


    “More powerful people from another country control the organization, and I’ve yet to discover where


    they’re from. However, I believe they have a strong background, and we can’t afford to mess with


    them.” Mike suddenly stopped talking and looked at Alexander.


    Mike used the term “us” to tell Alexander that even he could not do anything to the external forces.


    They were not easy people to deal with.


    “What about that?” Alexander raised his brow while his expression remained calm.


    He had a feeling the organization was controlled by a party that was much more powerful and


    influential, even without Mike’s words. Otherwise, the party would not have the audacity to challenge


    them so many times within the borders of this country.


    As for Professor Thompson, Mike, Rhea, and even those who controlled them directly might be


    insignificant people in the organization. The core members might not even be in the country at this


    time.


    “When they first talked to me, they wanted me to take over the research center for two reasons. Firstly,


    they needed investments. Secondly, they wanted me to take advantage of my rtionship with you to


    seize control over the research center andplete the research sessfully.”


    Mike sighed. “However, things don’t always go ording to n, do they? We didn’t expect Lily to


    discover the research institute’s secrets so quickly. You insisted that the research stop and soon left the


    team. We genuinely couldn’t predict what you’d do.”


    The pliment” did not make Lily happy as she said, “What does that organization of yours n to


    do to me then?”


    “To be honest, they had nned to take your life at one point,” Mike said honestly without hiding


    anything.


    “You…” Alexander, calm the entire time, became emotional upon hearing this. He wanted to stand, but


    Lily pressed her palm on his thigh to stop his movement.


    She just chuckled nonchntly before continuing, “Gale and I got into a car ident and had


    assassins chased after us before this. Was that the organization’s attempt to kill me?”


    Unexpectedly, Mike shook his head. “No, that was not the organization’s doing. It was just Rhea.”


    “Rhea?” Lily was astonished to hear that.


    ‘I thought it would be the organization, but Rhea arranged that instead?’
