"You're back!" the man said with his back to her. All she could see was the tall executive chair, not him.

Rhea stood where she was and said, "Yes, sir."

"How did it go?"

"There would soon be a tender event, and the project would fall into Fabian Moore's hands. Our lab could then be placed within the vaccine development center." Rhea paused for a moment. "Before I came, I went over to take a look. It has a good environment and is well-equipped. The government has also poured in a lot of money and resources, which would boost us."

"Terrific!" He sounded satisfied, but his voice was awful.

Rhea picked her ear, despite herself.

"But why is it taking so long? Can't they just give the project to Fabian Moore?" He seemed to be impatient.

"No, there's a protocol to follow. If not, people might get suspicious and criticize how it's done, which would be bad for us," Rhea explained.

"It's troublesome to operate in your country, isn't it?" He snorted dismissively.

Rhea raised her brow. "I'm afraid you've forgotten that Hyderland is no longer my country, as I've become a citizen of Roseroot. I'm your fellow citizen."

The man let out a shrill laugh and turned his chair around with a horrible grin. "You? Who do you think you are? Do you think getting the citizenship of Roseroot means you've become the superior race? You and your inferior race should be proud of being able to stand near me!"

Rhea frowned and did not retort.

"Rhea, if I had not allowed you to join us without the data and information I've given you, could you have made such an achievement? When the experiment succeeds in the future, the whole world will be in awe of you. Do you know whom you should be thankful for?" He lifted his chin and asked arrogantly.

"You, sir." Rhea lowered her head respectfully.

"I hope you mean it!" His fingers tapped the sides of his chair as if he were contemplating something. "Yes, how's test subject R16?"

"He survived the rejection period and has evolved quickly," Rhea answered. "It's only been two days, and I haven't had time to look again."

"Good. Very good!" The man was satisfied. "We've begun testing on R18, and Mike has been recording the changes and data. However, I don't trust him. You should go take a look." "Okay." Rhea nodded.

"Also..." He stopped her as if wanting to say something, but he paused and said, "Forget it. Just go!"

Rhea was puzzled.

"I said you're dismissed. Go!" He was very impatient and easily lost his temper.

"Yes, sir!" Rhea did not dare to ask him again and left.

Stopping at Level 13, she saw Mike when the elevator doors opened. Not bothering to pay him any attention, she let out a dismissive smile, and just as she was about to step out, the man held onto her shoulder and shoved her inward.

Stunned, Rhea tried to fight back but was seized by his other hand as she was knocked back against the elevator door. "What the f*ck are you doing?" She lifted her foot to kick him with her high heel, but was quickly restrained by him.

She was now entirely constrained by him and could no longer fight back.

Breathing hard, she glared at him and let out a cold smile. "Do you want to kill me?"
