Chapter 2168


    It was Austin’s first time meeting Cameron, so the former wondered how Cameron seemed to


    recognize him.


    Cameron noticed his puzzled expression and said, “Dr. nc told me you’re a rare talent. “Dr. nc


    said you’re a rare talent. Keep up the good work, and don’t let him down.”


    Austin was surprised Dr. nc would speak so highly about him to others, especially to someone like


    Cameron. Austin saluted solemnly, eximing, “Yes, sir!”


    Alexander’s lips twitched. “This way, Cameron.”


    Alexander let Cameron’s aide serve the tea when they sat in the spacious home office. After all,


    Cameron seldom drank or ate anything outside for safety reasons.


    That was why Alexander suspected something was off when Cameron got kidnapped back then. He


    wondered how Rhea drugged and took Cameron away even though he had been so cautious and


    carefully guarded.


    As it turned out, his suspicion was correct—it was part of Cameron’s n, which was grander than


    Alexander had imagined.


    “So, is the mastermind behind the organization an individual, a group, or a government?” Cameron cut


    to the chase as he sat down. His time was precious, and he did not want to waste it on chitchatting.


    “Based on our investigation so far, we think it’s the Queen of Yudonia.”


    Cameron was not surprised. Instead, he looked grim.


    ‘If it is the queen, things will get tricky.’


    Alexander rubbed his eyebrows and pondered in silence before continuing, “From our observation and


    the clues I’ve gathered, I think the queen is just a puppet while the real mastermind is the duke.”


    “You mean Fred?” It did not take long for Cameron to consider him.


    Alexander enjoyed talking to intelligent people like Cameron. The former nodded and said, “We visited


    the embassy twice and met him there. He was always smiling but seemed to be the decision-maker


    there.


    “Also, the queen trusts Fred a great deal back in Yudonia. He has served her for many years, and the


    queen’s reliance on him has increased for the past five years, especially since her health has


    deteriorated.”


    Alexander noticed Cameron remaining quiet and added, “Fred is the only one who has ryed most of


    the queen’s decisions in recent years.


    “Rumors have long imed the queen has be Fred’s puppet. The person responsible for starting


    and operating theb received his orders from Fred.”


    “So the queen has been under his control?” Cameron raised his brow thoughtfully.

    ‘If that’s the case, it’ll be good for us.’


    If the mastermind was the Queen of Yudonia, the situation could escte into a full-blown war between


    the two nations unless Hydend could gather support from other countries to stand against it.


    Meanwhile, the situation was more manageable since the queen was just a puppet, and the


    troublemaker was Duke Frederick. After all, bringing him down and liberating the queen would be


    morally justifiable.


    “Well, that’s just our spection. We don’t have direct evidence to back this up,” Alexander said


    objectively.


    In other words, acting without evidence would be unwise.


    Cameron knew what he was talking about but changed the subject, “Where’s Rhea?”
