NovelEnglishAt this juncture, there were three knocks on the door. The two froze, then exchanged a look. The man said, “Use the back door.”
He cocked his head to indicate the direction behind him. As Rhea hurried past him, she heard his deep voice, “Wait!”
She halted and heard him say, “Leave it!” while tapping his finger at the desk.
Rhea hesitated, then obediently put the bottle on the desk. Then she hurried away after looking at it intensely.
The man was odd and inconsistent, and his size made it easy for one to overchim. However, Rhea did not do so, nor did Mike.
They dared not do anything not because they feared him but because they dreaded the power and organization behind him.

He was not alone and was not the top leader at the stime. They could not uncover what secrets he was hiding and dared not
find out about them.
As for Rhea, all she ever wanted was to create something that could astonish the world. Soon, she disappeared behind the man.
The man tilted his head, ensured Rhea was gone, and said, “Cin!”
He crouched down and sat on the edge of the desk with his hands propped on it. Dangling his legs, he picked up the bottle Rhea
had left and fiddled with it.
Mike was puzzled when he cin. There were glass shards everywhere, as if a massive battle had occurred, and he had to step
over the shards to avoid them.
‘There are blood stains on the floor. Is someone hurt? It’s not unusual for someone to get hurt or bleed in the facility, but the boss
rarely injures anyone in his office.’
“Sir,” Mike called out to the man and took two steps forward.
The man grunted a yes as a reply but did not bother lifting his eyelids. Instead, he kept studying the small bottle while cocking his
head.
Mike recognized it at a glance and beccurious. ‘It’s the bottle Lily was trying to get from the worker just now.”

Lily spoke coherently, but the worker was unusually adamant about not handing the bottle over. The boss also said it was what he
needed.
‘What could it be? If Lily said it was a failed creation, it's useless to keep such a thing, right?’
The little man asked indifferently, “Has she started already?”
Mike nodded and answered, “Yes. She's already working, and everything is right on track.”
“On track?” The man scoffed and shook his head. “It’s too early to say that. It's best to use the phrase when she makes it work.”
“Lily says she’s confident she can do it soon.” Mike quoted her. However, under the circumstance, he was unsure whether Lily was
trying to fool them or was genuinely confident of her success.
