NovelOnlineMike's heart raced, and his stomach turned. However, Rhea gave no response to the “boss’s” face and instead cocked her head to
admire it. She loosened her grip after a while, and the “boss” simply slid back onto the chair.
Rhea took a wet wipe to clean her fingers, then drawled, “What do you think of my bargaining chip?”
“Bargaining chip?” Stunned, Mike looked over his shoulder at her and caught on after two seconds. “You're saying he's your
bargaining chip?”
He pointed toward the man.

“Didn’t you say the organization abandoned him, and he now means nothing to them?” Mike took a deep breath to calm himself
down, disgusted by what he saw. When he first saw what the boss looked like, he felt appalled but not as revolted as he was now.
The scary and dirty face had a few more bloody wounds, making it look even more unnerving and disgusting. However, the young

He suddenly realized something and asked, “Did you do something to him?”

“But you're not sure yet?” Mike asked.
“Of course, it's still in the experimental stage. Anyway, I'm running out of time.” Rhea shrugged and sounded upset, no longer
pumped up as before. She had been researching this secretly, hoping to produce good results.
She knew the organization only cared about the R10 experiment. Other research projects were just smokescreens. However, she
was proud of her experiment and wanted to make it work.
She could only do it in secret and had yet to succeed. Unfortunately, the organization expedited its plan, and she could not wait
any longer as she did not want them to abandon her.
