Chapter 2270


    "Your Highness, I think the duke didn’t do all these for the queen, at least not entirely," Edward said


    seriously.


    "Oh?" Ross asked curiously, "What makes you think that?"


    "I spent some time in theb and suffered at their creation. Fred did all this for something even more


    ambitious than achieving eternal life." After a pause, he continued, "If it''s just for eternal life, they


    wouldn’t have to conduct experiments besides R20. Besides…"


    Edward then looked toward Mike and said, "As Mr. Corden is also aware, there are many poisonous


    nts and drugs in theb, and they wouldn''t be useful in achieving eternal life. That''s why I say he

    isn’t doing this just for the queen."


    Ross nodded thoughtfully, thinking that what Edward said made sense. "It does add up, but why would


    Fred want to conduct the experiments in Hydend where the risks are much higher? Why choose


    here?"


    If it was true Fred was doing this behind the queen''s back, he could have done it in Yudonia, where it


    was more convenient. After all, he was a duke and the queen''s favorite, so it would be easier to


    conduct his experiments there.


    "Forgive me for being blunt," Alexander said, "but how do you know that he hasn''t conducted these


    experiments in your country, Your Highness?"


    Ross was shocked.


    "You weren''t even aware of what Fred was doing behind your back. How can you be sure he hasn''t


    been running simrbs in Yudonia?"


    Ross''s face stiffened. However, on second thought, he knew Alexander was right. Perhaps there were


    simrbs in Yudonia, and he did not know about them. Thinking this, he felt a chill down his spine.


    "I must make a call and have this looked into!"


    Just as Ross picked up his phone, Alexander stopped him. "You can''t, Your Highness. Don''t forget that


    ording to your itinerary, you''re supposed to have reached Eldermere."


    Ross caught himself. ''That''s right… I''m supposed to act like someone under Fred''s control. If I call


    anyone in Yudonia and the word gets out, all our efforts will go to waste.''


    Lowering his phone, Ross could hardly contain his anger. "What the hell is Fred up to?"


    "All we know is that he''s up to no good."


    At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and everyone quieted down.


    Austin''s voice reached them, "Are you in there, Alex? My granduncle was kidnapped!"


    Stunned, Alexander leaped to his feet and said, "I''ll be right back." He hurried to the door and opened


    it. "What did you say?"
