Chapter 1973


    Mike was staggered by what Rhea said. He could not imagine her turning the “boss” into a guinea pig.


    Although he had witnessed humankind’s ugly side and many inhumane experiments, he found it hard


    to ept seeing how horrifying the man looked now.


    After all, hearing and witnessing something firsthand were wholly different experiences. The gory sight


    before Mike greatly affected him, but Rhea, having caused it, was unbothered.


    “Why are you…” Mike cleared his throat and continued, “Why are you so sure your experiment is what


    the organization wants? If they truly want it, I doubt you need to approach them, right? Perhaps what


    you think is great means nothing to them.”


    It was only a casual remark, but he hit her sore spot. Mike was right when he said the organization did


    not care about Rhea’s experiment. If they did, she would have openly conducted it with their support.


    Rhea only obeyed the “boss” and the organization to repay them for recognizing her skills. More


    importantly, her family could not afford to pay for her experiment’s materials and expenses.


    Only the organization could support her dreams and make theme true.


    Unfortunately, although Rhea had worked hard for the organization, her importance to them decreased


    to the point she was no different than the other researchers or scientists who were either captured or


    lured into the organization.


    Such treatment was unbearable to her, even more so than death.


    Since getting involved in this field and seeing her achievements, Rhea always thought she was a


    genius the world had yet to discover. She told herself she would wow the whole world one day.


    When that day arrived, she would no longer need to curry Anastasia or anyone’s favor, as she would


    be immortalized by history, even as someone evil. However, Rhea grew frustrated and indifferent after


    failing to make the experiment work despite many attempts.


    She started to feel the experiment was pointless. She could not understand why they must use a scent


    to hide the poisons, thinking it was unnecessary.


    Rhea did not know its ultimate purpose and only felt the experiment was not as meaningful as what she


    wanted to do. Nevertheless, she could only do as the organization said.


    When she noticed Lily was about to take all the credit despite all her efforts, she knew the organization


    would not remember her, let alone the world. Then Rhea witnessed how they abandoned the “boss”


    and came to a shocking realization that she would eventually suffer a simr fate.


    She told herself she would never allow it to happen. She could tolerate failures and rebukes but did not


    want to be forgotten. Therefore, she thought of the secret room and found the “boss” who had gone
