Chapter 2014


    One of Alexander’s men asked over the radio, “Sir?”


    “Leave him,” Alexander slowly said, “Don’t leave any traces of your presence.”


    “Yes, sir.” Soon, the men slipped through the garage door and disappeared into the shadows. It was as


    if they were never around.


    “Secretary Rollins refuses to leave,” the man reported as he returned to the driver’s seat.


    Alexander nodded. “Well, at least we now know he has a n.”


    He initially thought Rhea had retaken control of Cameron.


    ‘Cameron let Rhea hold him because he knows how dangerous those viruses are. It almost destroyed


    Burnwken. Only God knows what the other viruses can do. Besides, Rhea once controlled Cameron


    using the virus.


    ‘Cameron knows how ugly things can get if no one stops the organization. Still, he won’t be able to stop


    Rhea from controlling him again, no matter how strong-willed he is. Fortunately, he’s not under any


    influence, from what I can tell. Since Cameron has his ns, I shouldn’t worry too much.


    After some thought, Alexander looked ahead, saying, “Take me to the Rollins’ residence.


    He believed Cameron had not told Anastasia anything for her sake. He wanted to tell Cameron about


    Anastasia getting sick but decided against it.


    After receiving Alexander’s order, the man in the driver’s seat started the car and drove toward the


    destination. The streets were quiet, with a few cars during the night. The city seemed so peaceful.


    Alexander quietly gazed out the window as he sat in the car. The scattered lights of countless


    households made him feel the need to protect these families at all costs.


    “What is it like to be controlled by someone?” He murmured.


    The car slowed down but resumed its average speed immediately after. Then the driver slowly said, “It


    was like having a long, long sleep.”


    “A long sleep, huh?” Alexander raised his brow, trying to imagine what it would be like.

    “Yes, a sound sleep, like getting cut off from reality. If we don’t wake up, we’ll just continue sleeping, but


    when we wake…” The man choked up. “Then we discover we might’ve done terrible things and even


    hurt some people.


    “Worse, we can’t excuse ourselves because we were the ones who hurt them, no matter how you see


    it.” The driver’s voice seemed to echo in the car.


    Alexander listened quietly and frowned slightly. After some silence, he said, “It must’ve been tough.


    Right, Edward?”
