Chapter 1790


    The lights outside the window were brightly lit, with half the lights in the entire building on. There were


    many people working overtime, desperately chasing the bag. Most of them had no idea that the


    vine they were developing was not a vine against the virus but a psychotropic drug for mind


    control.


    As soon as the so-called vine was done, everyone would be injected with it. By then, they would all


    be this man''s puppets.


    "Boss, you don''t have to pretend. There''s no one around. How would my name be exposed if you didn''t


    allow Mike to let Austin escape? This was all part of your n. I’m nothing more than a pawn in your


    chess game."


    She lowered her gaze to hide her emotions. Her voice was exceptionally calm.


    She was aware that she was merely a piece of theirrger strategy from the start.


    That was right. Their n!


    The organization was more than just her and the boss. Being the boss did not mean that he was on


    top. She had been in the organization for so many years that she understood that there was a higher


    power behind him. She did not, however, get the chance to find out who it was.


    She had given the organization her all, but now that thisst experiment had failed, the organization


    seemed to want to let her go because she was in a rut.


    After a few seconds of silence, the man chuckled. "How did you find out?"


    He did not deny or admit it but instead asked a rhetorical question. However, this sentence showed that


    Rhea had guessed correctly. He did let Austin escape on purpose.


    "I''ve been by your side for years. How could I not know how this organization works? If it weren''t for


    your order, how could Mike help Austin escape so easily? You didn''t even look for him after he


    escaped, and you didn''t punish Mike at all. If this wasn''t part of your n, I can''t think of any practical

    reason."


    She found it strange. This wasn''t the first time they had to relocate someone. How could it be so easy


    for Austin to escape? He was drugged and tied up, and special escorts brought him. If Austin could


    escape under such circumstances, he wouldn''t have been so easily controlled.


    However, if this were all done with the acquiescence of the man before her, then it would all make


    sense.


    "Rhea, you''re brilliant! It''s a pity that youck a bit of talent!" He gestured with two fingers and smacked


    his lips, not knowing whether it was from the coffee or if he was just expressing his disappointment.


    Then he tilted his head to look at her remorsefully. "You''re the most hardworking and talented person I


    know among the people I''ve selected, but every talent has its limits."


    "Is that why you''re giving up on me?" She asked with a twinkle in her eyes.


    "You overthink. The organization didn’t give up on you. If they did, you wouldn''t have to fake your


    death. You''d be dead!" The end was prolonged, with a strange sharpness and harshness in his tone.


    Hearing this, Rhea felt her heart sink.


    The next secondter, heughed again. "I''m just kidding! It''s a joke! How can I let you die? After all,


    you''ve been nothing but loyal to me.


    “Don''t worry! Lily''s job here is to wrap up the experiment. Once everything is done, she will not stay a


    second longer. If I had to choose, I would, of course, choose you without a doubt!"


    Thest sentence he added was to appease her. Then he turned to look into the depths of the endless


    night.
