Chapter 1926


    Lilyughed mockingly. "So, you''re saying we don''t need evidence at all? As long as you want to do it,


    you can, right? The boss has only disappeared briefly, and you''re already here, showcasing your


    power. Are you saying everything will be your call if the boss is gone? If that''s the case, you''re the


    prime suspect!"


    Lily downyed herself and shifted the me back unto Rhea in just a few sentences.


    "I…" Shocked momentarily, Rhea immediately retorted, "I didn''t say that!"


    She swallowed her words angrily, feeling Rick''s calm eyes on her. The back of her spine felt a little


    chilly.


    She had met Rick several times, but not enough. However, she knew he often appeared by the boss''s


    side. He was a man of very few words and always seemed indifferent. His actions were always cruel


    and vicious.


    Rhea identally ran into him once while he was punishing someone. Even though she had grown

    ustomed to various experiments and bloodshed, she still felt sick at that scene. Later, an


    inexplicable fear of Rick formed in her, the kind she could not control as it hit her heart’s core.


    "Have you searched everywhere?" Rick asked Mike again.


    Mike nodded affirmatively. "I''ve searched everywhere, even under the carpets. We''ve searched all the


    secret rooms we know of here."


    Hearing this, Rick fell silent.


    Lily, who had been trying to stay out of this matter, spoke up. "I have a question."


    Everyone looked at her. Rhea was about toe up with a sarcastic answer before quickly swallowing


    her words. Rick nodded slightly, motioning for Lily to speak.


    "As you all have said, I''m not loyal to the boss, and I''m not affected by his disappearance. Whether he


    disappears or not has nothing to do with me." She shrugged indifferently before continuing, "What I


    care more about is, are we continuing this experiment as usual?


    “My experiment is almostplete, and I know the boss valued this project a lot. I know the higher-ups


    probably think very highly of it as well. However, now that something like this has happened, do we


    focus on—" She paused momentarily as her eyes darted from Rick to Mike and finally to Rhea.


    "Looking for the boss or continuing the experiment?"


    "Of course, we—" Just as Mike was about to say, ‘Look for the boss,’ he caught himself and looked at


    Rick.


    Lily saw the power dynamic here. On the surface, the trio were equal. However, both seemed more


    afraid of Rick and would always turn to him.


    Meanwhile, Lily remained objective and indifferent, without a hint of anxiety. It was usual for her.


    Everyone here knew she came here unwillingly and got forced to work. Now that the boss had gone


    missing, it would be suspicious if she suddenly became worried or anxious.


    Rick pondered momentarily before slowly saying, "We''ll have to look for the boss and continue the


    experiment simultaneously. We’ll handle the search while you…"


    He paused before continuing, "You and Miss Moore continue the experiment. You two mustplete


    the experiment ording to n! Mr. Corden and I will look for the boss."


    Lily raised her eyebrows. "Do your words count?"


    Rick probably did not realize the underlying meaning of Lily’s question and replied in a daze, "My words


    always count, and I will always do what I say."


    "No, I''m saying, since the boss isn’t here now, are you the second inmand?" Lily smiled while


    looking at Rick meaningfully.
