The man backed off in disgust and touched his mask before reaching out to push Mike’s face back. He said casually, “Think bigger. Don’t just think about your son all the time, okay?
Seriously, Mike, you’re making me feel like it’s not worth spending so much time and effort engaging your help. You’re not worth it at all!” His scornful voice exasperated Mike.
“Then let my son go!” Mike shouted. He could not help but yell after feeling pressured for such a long time.
“I’ll certainly let go of your son, but it’s not the time yet. Besides, did I say anything has happened to him?” the man said indifferently, “Can killing your son accomplish anything great? Don’t think too highly of yourself.”
He then turned to Lily. “Don’t try to refute me. I know you and the Russells are not only intelligent and wealthy but are also good at fighting. However, you’re nothing compared to our experiment. No matter how good a fighter you are, the virus will defeat you.
“I also know you must have a way to contact the outside world, so you can try to find out what’s happening before…” he paused and sneered, “you try to bargain with me!” His confident tone and inscrutable gaze made her heart sink.
‘Perhaps he’s just bluffing, but he’s so confident and has discovered my and Alex’s background. He even knows I’ve been secretly contacting the outside world. Could he have found out everything about me through surveillance systems?’
Rhea was eager to let Lily and Mike know what was happening, so she said smugly, “Why do you think I faked my death and showed myself now? Do you guys genuinely think it’s easy to rescue someone from here under our constant surveillance?
