Fred thoughtfully paced back and forth for a long while. He looked somewhat anxious as he asked,
“Who else knows about this?"
Stunned, Rhea shook her head. "No one, I think."
"Not even Lily?" Fred was incredulous. After all, Lily had developed R10 and should know if there were
issues with it.
"Well... I'm not sure," Rhea murmured, "As you know, we don't like each other, and she wouldn't tell me

Fred frowned but thought Rhea was being reasonable.
"I see," he said solemnly.
Rhea said, "So."

Rhea did not expect him not to change his mind.
'Why is he so adamant?!'
"But the drug—"
Fred interrupted, "There's nothing wrong with it, and the experiment will succeed. Is that clear?"
Rhea hesitated when she saw his glare. She nodded slowly, saying, "Yes, Your Grace."

Surprised, Rhea nodded. "Yeah."
"Mike Corden called many times, but I didn't answer." He tossed the phone to her. "Ask him if he has
secured the invisibility potion formula."
"Now?" Shocked, Rhea widened her eyes.
'It's midnight, so Mike should be asleep by now. Besides, won't Alexander and the others suspect
something if I called Mike so late?'
Fred looked at her suspiciously and suddenly asked, “Isn't he under your control? Why do you look so
worried?"
