Chapter 1972


    Mike’s heart raced, and his stomach turned. However, Rhea gave no response to the “boss’s” face and


    instead cocked her head to admire it. She loosened her grip after a while, and the “boss” simply slid


    back onto the chair.


    Rhea took a wet wipe to clean her fingers, then drawled, “What do you think of my bargaining chip?”


    “Bargaining chip?” Stunned, Mike looked over his shoulder at her and caught on after two seconds.

    “You’re saying he’s your bargaining chip?”


    He pointed toward the man.


    ‘Yes, he used to be somebody but not anymore. Why would Rhea treat him as her bargaining chip?’


    “Didn’t you say the organization abandoned him, and he now means nothing to them?” Mike took a


    deep breath to calm himself down, disgusted by what he saw. When he first saw what the boss looked


    like, he felt appalled but not as revolted as he was now.


    The scary and dirty face had a few more bloody wounds, making it look even more unnerving and


    disgusting. However, the young and beautiful Rhea calmly admired the face fearlessly. Such a sight


    was unsettling and eerie to Mike.


    He suddenly realized something and asked, “Did you do something to him?”


    Rhea smiled smugly. “You’re not as dumb as I thought, huh? Look at his face. Isn’t he uglier now? It’ll


    worsen because all his skin will soon rot and fall off…”


    Feeling nauseated, Mike said, “I don’t need to hear it.”


    He looked away as his stomach turned.


    His reaction pleased Rhea as she leaned back and said, “Come on, it’s only a process. Every


    transformation is painful. That’s the price to pay if we want to transform ourselves.”


    “Transformation?”


    “That’s right!” Rhea said, her eyes gleaming with enthusiasm. “It’s like a caterpir transforming into a


    butterfly. Have you seen a snake shedding its skin? It’s somewhat simr. The old decaying flesh will


    fall off, and a new one will rece it.


    “This involves cellr repair and regeneration of fresh… If I seed, I’ll be remembered by


    generations toe!” She stood up excitedly as if she had already seeded.


    “But you’re not sure yet?” Mike asked.


    “Of course, it’s still in the experimental stage. Anyway, I’m running out of time.” Rhea shrugged and


    sounded upset, no longer pumped up as before. She had been researching this secretly, hoping to


    produce good results.


    She knew the organization only cared about the R10 experiment. Other research projects were just


    smokescreens. However, she was proud of her experiment and wanted to make it work.


    She could only do it in secret and had yet to seed. Unfortunately, the organization expedited its


    n, and she could not wait any longer as she did not want them to abandon her.
