Chapter 1818


    Mike squinted at the bottle the man was studying, then let out a slight cough. “Sir…”


    “Yes?” The man noticed Mike’s hesitation and finally looked at him, puzzled.


    “Ahem…” After clearing his throat, Mike said, “Lily said it’s a failed creation.”


    “I know.” The translucent liquid sloshed inside the bottle as the man twirled it between his fingers. It


    seemed as mercurial as the little man who had unpredictable mood swings.


    “Then…” Mike stopped and did not finish his sentence.


    The man chuckled aloud, raucousughter sounding like iron scraping against the wall. “Are you asking


    why I insist on having this failed creation?”


    Mike quirked his eyebrows in response.


    “It’s because I don’t believe in Lily at all.” His gaze suddenly turned sharp as if it could see through


    everything. Even Mike felt a chill down his spine despite many trials and tribtions.


    ‘This man is cunning like an unfathomable old fox. After dealing with him for so long, I’ve discovered he


    is unyielding and doesn’t care about anyone. Nothing matters to him. He will sacrifice and destroy


    anyone and anything to get what he wants.


    ‘Men like him are scary because there’s nothing I can use to counter him. He simply doesn’t care about


    others.’


    “If you don’t believe her, why do you insist on using her? Aren’t you afraid she…” Mike paused, licked


    his dry lips, and solemnly said, “Aren’t you afraid she’ll sabotage us and disrupt our n?”


    “Afraid?!” The man raised his voice andughed mockingly. “I’m afraid of nothing in this world! I don’t


    trust people as easily as Hydenders and have my reasons for using her. Our experiment will either


    seed or fail at this juncture. If it seeds, the world will fall into my hands, but if it fails…”


    After a pause, he spread his arms and looked up. “Then the world will perish with me!”


    The man shouted throatily and amplified his vocal chord. His voice hurt Mike’s eardrums.


    The man let out a shrillugh, then slowly looked at Mike. “Tell me. What should I be afraid of?”


    Mike was nonplussed.


    ‘He’s a lunatic!’ a thought shed through Mike’s mind. He had concluded that countless times but felt


    more assertive about it now.


    For a brief moment, he wanted to strangle the man in the office recklessly and stop the vile experiment.


    However, the idea only urred momentarily, and he soon calmed down.


    He loosened his clenched fists at his sides as he thought about his son’s face and childish yet firm


    voice. ‘No, I can’t do that!’


    “Mike, I don’t trust anyone, including Rhea, Lily…” The man cocked his head, sized Mike up, then


    moved his lips, saying, “Or you!

    “Do you think I don’t know what’s happening inside your head? Although you work for me and have


    done quite a lot, I know you resent me, am I right? You think about killing me every second, correct?”


    Heughed as if he was telling a joke.
