Chapter 1949


    Rick’s voice was cold, and the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped several degrees.


    Rhea shrank her shoulders. Mike, on the sidelines, hurried forward to smooth things over. “Lily, don’t be


    too hard on yourself. Since everyone thinks this experiment is a sess, it must be sessful. You’ve

    done a great job. No one could do this until now.”


    Then he turned to Rick and continued, “I believe the higher-ups must be anxiously waiting. Now isn’t


    the time to argue about this. Anyway, let’s submit the experimental results to them first. What do you


    think?”


    Rick seemed to have loosened up after hearing what Mike said. He turned to look at the tubes on the


    shelf beside him, then nced at theputer again. “It’s those, right?”


    Before Lily could speak, Rhea quickly responded, “Yes, those are the ones. I’ll pack them right away.”


    She feared Lily would say something untimely, so she took the lead. Lily watched from the side and did


    not move a muscle. She observed Rhea seal the tubes carefully and put them in a proper container.


    “Done.” Rhea handed the packed box to Rick.


    Rick took it and nced at Lily again. “Do you have anything else to say?”


    She shrugged indifferently. “I have nothing to say, just one thing…”


    “What is it?” He narrowed his eyes slightly.


    “It was you who insisted this experiment was a sess. If something goes wrongter, or the effect is


    unexpected, you can’t me it on me. After all, I never said this experiment is sessful.” Lily seemed


    eager to shrink responsibility.


    Her attitude made the others suspicious. It seemed like there might be something wrong with the


    products, and it did not seed. That was why she was eager to shift the me and absolve herself of


    responsibility.


    “It’s your experiment. Whether it seeds or not, you can’t escape responsibility!” Rick said coldly,


    obviously disagreeing with her statement.


    “Hey, how can you say that? Now, you’re just trying to sabotage me,” Lily protested unhappily.


    Rick sneered. “Drop the act. Come with me!”


    “Go with you? Where are we going?” Lilyzily asked as she blinked innocently at him and shook her


    arms. “I’ve been doing this experiment for so long. I’m tired. Now that everything is a sess, I can


    finally rest! I think you should go yourself. I won’t apany you.” With that said, she smiled and


    walked away.


    However, Rick grabbed her arm as she walked past. “You can’t leave.”


    “What?”


    Meanwhile, Rhea and Mike looked at Rick in puzzlement, not understanding what he meant.


    Mike said despite himself, “Rick, you—”


    Before he could finish, Rick shot him a stern look, and Mike immediately stopped talking.


    The look in Rick’s eyes was too cold and stern, like a cier. Mike suddenly realized the situation


    seemed to have gone beyond their expectations. He did not know what Rick would do but vaguely felt it


    was not good.


    “It’s none of your business. You two can rest. If you’re that bored, you can look for Spades King. As for


    you…” Rick looked at Lily. “You have to follow me.”


    “Why should I go with you? I’ve finished what you asked of me and must go home. You promised me


    that—”


    Rick interjected, “Whatever promises you discuss are made with Spades King. It has nothing to do with


    me or the organization. If you want, you can talk to him or…find him first.”
