Chapter 2312

“I’m just worried the others might get suspicious,” Rhea murmured, holding the phone.

Fred said dismissively, “If he can’t even answer your call, we might as well cut him loose. Call him while I’m still interested, got it?”

Rhea realized by now that Fred only cared about R10, and everything else was just a bonus to him.

She always thought she could impress Fred with her accomplishments.

However, after spending some time with Fred, she gradually understood that it did not matter what she did. No research or drug was as crucial to him as R10.

Rhea did not think much about R10, but since Fred was the boss, she could only do as he said. She called Mike, and the phone rang a few times before he answered.

“Hello?” Mike asked nasally, seemingly just getting out of bed.

“Mike, you called me?” Rhea said as she studied Fred’s expression.

“Huh? Oh, I called in the afternoon.” Mike seemed to have forgotten about it.

“You called so many times. Did you have something urgent to tell me? Have you secured the invisibility potion formula?” As Rhea had put the call on speaker, Fred could hear Mike.

Although the duke only listened, Rhea knew he was satisfied, at least for now.

“Rhea, do you know what time it is?” Mike grumbled. “Don’t you need to sleep?”

“I was busy, and I didn’t hear your calls this afternoon,” Rhea said seriously, “Now tell me. Have you gotten your hands on the invisibility potion? You must’ve called that many times for a reason, right?”

She saw Fred frown and grew so nervous that her palms became sweaty. She feared Mike would say something that could get her into trouble.

Mike sighed and said, “Yes, I’ve secured the formula, but I’m not sure if it’ll work.

Are you sure you want it?”

“What do you mean? Don’t they have data to ensure it works?” Rhea asked, puzzled.

“I have no idea, okay?” Mike sounded as if she should not blame him. “As you’re aware, I know nothing about scientific research. I only know that they have successfully analyzed the ingredients, and I went to great lengths to obtain the formula.

Still, I wouldn’t dare to try to verify how successful it is. Those guys could have caught me, you know.”

Rhea saw no change in Fred’s expression and thought Mike sounded reasonable as well. “Then send me the formula. Let me take a look.”

“That… might be difficult,” Mike hesitated before continuing, “Can I deliver it to you in person?”

Stunned, Rhea noticed Fred looking at her suspiciously.

Scared, she quickly said, “What for? It’s not convenient for you to come here.

Besides, why can’t you just send it to my phone?”
