Chapter 1929


    "Since the boss is ‘missing,’ I guess Rick''s also under pressure?" Lily askedzily.


    "That''s inevitable. After all, we''re not in direct contact with the higher-ups. Even if they wanted to


    pressure or punish us, they would do it through…" Mike stopped and looked at her. "So, what are you


    trying to say here?"


    She shook her head and said, "I think Edward’s reckless attack this time may not be entirely wrong.


    Before, we were fearful and hesitant, not daring to make a move on the boss because we had our


    reservations.


    “Edward doesn''t know much, nor does he think things through. He’s highly straightforward, but


    sometimes, the simplest ideas and actions result in the biggest breakthroughs."


    Mike was deep in thought after listening to her words.


    ‘She’s right. I didn’t dare to take action because I was worried about Nick. Meanwhile, Lily wanted to


    catch the bigger fish behind the boss, so she didn’t take action either. However, Edward knew nothing.’


    He only thought about blowing up and destroying the hellish base, even if he died with it. Now that the


    boss had gone missing and everything was in shambles, Lilt saw a new opportunity amidst the mess.


    She had no contact with Rick before this, let alone talk to him. Nheless, she thought maybe it was


    time to follow the clues and uncover the mastermind behind everything.


    "But Rick would never let us talk to the higher-ups," Mike said. He knew a thing or two about Rick. Also,

    the reason why this organization was so hidden was due to the countlessyers between them.


    Only Mike, Rhea, and a few others knew about the boss''s existence. Among them, only a few knew


    someone else was behind the boss. Most below them had no idea.


    Mike had been with the boss for so long, yet he still had no idea how vicious or twisted the man who


    contacted the boss was. He had tried snooping around many times but found nothing. As for Rick, he


    came and went without a trace.


    If Rick had not shown up on his own initiative, no one would have known of his existence.


    "Whether or not he wants to isn''t equivalent to whether we can or can''t," Lily replied with a slight smile.


    She sounded rxed, as if she already had a solution.


    After a pause, she looked at Mike. "However, we have an urgent matter to resolve right now."


    "You mean…" Mike dragged on and nced toward the door. The corridor was quiet, and there was no


    one outside.


    The conversation stopped there, and neither of them spoke again. After a few seconds of silence, Mike


    said, "Leave it to me."


    "Are you sure?" Lily asked, looking at him with raised eyebrows.


    He nodded slightly and stood up. Just as he turned to leave, he seemed to remember something and


    turned back to look at Lily. His gaze slowly dropped and finally stopped at her swollen belly.


    Lily found it unsettling for him to stare at her like that and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her


    belly with a frown. "Is there anything else?"


    Mike stayed quiet for a while before he could no longer hold back and asked, "Are you expecting


    soon?"


    Lily fell quiet. After a while, she finally said, “In less than two months. I’ll be fine.”
