Chapter 1711
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
At the mention of his son, Mike looked disturbed and hastily lowered his head.
"No, no, of course not! Donât forget that you've promised me.If anything were to happen to my son, Iâll do whatever it takes to ruin your experiment!"
The man was threatened, but instead of being angry he smiled and laughed.
"Good! Iâm glad you're aware of what I could do.Mike, you've tried to search for your son dozens of times behind my back, haven't you? Have you found him yet?"
Mikeâs shoulders shuddered, and his hands on both sides quietly clenched into fists.
However, he remained silent.
He pressed his lips tightly together and kept his head low without saying a word, determined not to make a response.
Of course, the man did not care if he responded and just smirked as he said, "If so, you know what the organization and I are capable of, and a puny businessman like you is no match for us, not even Alexander.
Therefore, I advise you to do what I say, or I can't promise that your son will be safe.
"You have to know that thereâs a limit to my patience, and the higher-ups...are even less patient!"
He pointed to the ceiling and said it meaningfully.
Although Mike had suspected that the mysterious man was working for someone, hearing it for the first time was rather astonishing to him.
"Donât doubt my sincerity in working with you."
With his hands resting on the armrests, his fingers tapped as he said casually, "I'll tell you what you need to know in due time.Now that Rhea is dead, you're my only right-hand man.As long as you do your job well, you and your son will be safe! I guarantee you that even if half of the worldâs population were to die, you and your son would be able to stay alive."
"Yes, sir..."
Answering quietly, Mike clenched his fists, then loosened them.
The man's voice was haughty, as though he were bestowing something upon him.
However, it was not something that would exhilarate Mike.
âOnly my son and I would stay alive when half of the worldâs population were to die.."
"Now you get my point, donât you?" The man replied blandly and lowered his eyes to peer at him.
"You should know what the top priority is.Bring Lily here, and 1 donât care if you resort to deception, coercion, or any other means necessary.Within three days, I must see her!"
"Yes, sir!"
Mike got up and turned to walk away, then thought about something and stopped in his path to look over his shoulder.
"May I know why we must get Lily? Although the scent of the drug is a flaw, it doesnât affect its efficacy.If the mixing of the spices reduces its potency, then..."
Before he could finish, the man interrupted him, saying, "It doesnât concern you, and I have my reasons for doing so.Just do what youâre told."
Mike moved his lips, wanting to say something.
When he noticed that the man was not looking at him, he paused for a moment, thought better of it, and turned to walk away.
Mikeâs footsteps gradually trailed off as he went further away.
After a long while, the man turned to look at the empty room and narrowed his eyes slightly.He fished out a mobile phone from the drawer and made a call.
"I allowed you to act on your own, but you must put R7 under proper control.As far as I know, youâ re running out of drugs to control him."A slightly husky female voice came from the other end of the call, "Donât worry.I'll soon be able to come up with new drugs.Permanent control over him would not be a problem then."
"That will be great."
The man paused, then added before he disconnected the call.
"You donât have much time left.If you can't achieve the goal weâve set, all of us would..."
"I understand, but you can rest assured."
The female voice answered readily, then said, worried, "I hope you can remember what you promised me.Don't favor Lily over me and let her take what is mine, okay?"
