Chapter 1852


    The man’s eyes darted left and right thoughtfully after hearing what Lily said. Due to his small figure, he


    looked funny as his chest heaved and fell heavily.


    “Indeed, I’d like to seed, so I won’t allow myself to die before that. However, if you don’t obey me,

    we’ll all die together!” Heughed as if he had prepared for it.


    Afterughing, he walked over and climbed back up to his chair to sit. Crossing his legs, he leisurely


    sipped his tea, then said, “All right, stop wasting my time with your idle talk. Mike said a lot to you, but I


    advise you two not to get ahead of yourselves. You guys are no match for us.”


    “Us?” Lily quirked her eyebrows.


    “Surprised? You knew long ago that we’re an organization, and it’s not just me.” He shrugged


    indifferently. “Lily, tell me. Have you made any progress?”


    He propped his elbow on the desk and leaned forward before resting his chin on his interlocking hands.


    He gave her an inquiring gaze but looked weird in such a posture.


    “Nope,” Lily answered readily, “The task you’ve given me has nothing to do with your ultimate goal. I


    have no idea why you’re wasting my time here. As you said, we’re on a tight schedule. Shouldn’t you


    hand me the task that truly matters? You’re the one stalling by giving me unimportant tasks,” she said


    forcefully.


    The manughingly shook his head, then waved his index finger. “No, no, no! Every project is important


    as each of them serves a different purpose. For example—”


    “For example, numbing one’s nerves and causing someone to lose their volition? Or letting the virus


    invade human bodies and using the immune cells to attack the victims?” Lily interjected.


    The man’s open mouth closed, and he smiled meaningfully. He spread his arms and said, “See? I knew


    we were on the same wavelength. You know very well what we’re trying to do!”


    ‘Same wavelength, my a*s!’


    Lily wanted to tell him that, but she stopped herself. “Since I do, then let me handle the toughest


    project. You’ve got my help, so let’s not waste my time on other projects.”


    The man sized her up solemnly and nodded. “All right! But you mustplete the task under the


    supervision of my man.”


    Lily nced spontaneously at Mike. “Him?”


    “Him?” The man chuckled and shook his head. “He doesn’t count. I’ve found you a good assistant who


    can surely help you with the task.”


    He raised his hands and pped a few times gently.


    At this juncture, footsteps sounded, and Lily looked over her shoulder. Mike also turned his head to


    nce toward the sound.
