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 the lab 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 plants and drugs in the lab, 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 Hyderland 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 similar labs in Yudonia?” Ross’s face stiffened.

However, on second thought, he knew Alexander was right.

Perhaps there were similar labs 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 according 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?”
