Rhea excitedly walked away with her phone, wanting to test the formula. Someone quickly called after her, "Ma'am…"
She looked over her shoulder and realized Mike was still there. She said, "Throw him out!"
Since Rhea had the formula, Mike was no longer of use to her. Additionally, holding him in the embassy would only trouble her.
"Aren't you afraid I'm going to call the police?!" Mike growled.
Rhea laughed. "Call the police? And tell them what? That I stole the formula for an invisibility potion, or that I'm not helping you rescue your son?
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that I'm now a Yudonian, and I'm under its protection now. There's nothing the police can do to me here." Rhea smugly turned and left.
'Now that I'm under Queen Yasmin’s protection, why should I fear the police? All I need to do is to please Her Majesty. Besides, if I can develop the invisibility potion, I can go anywhere I please.
‘Who will stop me? Who cares about immortality? What matters is to seize the moment!' she thought.
Soon, the guards threw Mike out of the embassy. He was upset and tried to get back in, but the guards stopped him. He cursed at them and only left after they chased him away.
Meanwhile, Yasmin sat on the balcony with a pair of binoculars. She set them down without commenting on what had happened below. A man stood beside her quietly as she asked, “What do you think he’s here for?”
Yasmin looked into the distance, even though Mike was no longer there.
