"Okay." Ross sighed and stood up with raised hands. "I might not be able to help much. Still, if you guys can rescue the queen and stop Fred, I promise no one will hold you responsible for forcing your way into the embassy."
It was a massive commitment for Ross.
Alexander nodded. "We're counting on you then."
"That must be it!" Austin suddenly said as he thought of something.
Puzzled, everyone else looked at him.
Austin cleared his throat and said, "I think I know what they are going to do tomorrow! It has to be the R10 experiment!"
The others were shocked, and Alexander asked, “You just realized it?”
Although he did not mention it, it was evident Fred would conduct the R10 experiment tomorrow. Since Fred only cared about R10, he must have directed all his workforce toward it.
Alexander did not expect Austin to realize it so late. The former said sympathetically, “You should get more sleep. Lack of rest can affect your brain function, you know.”
Austin was stunned for a moment. Upset, he said, “Are you saying my brain isn’t functioning well?”
Unfortunately, everyone ignored him. Soon, he was the only one remaining in the living room. Frustrated, Austin exclaimed inwardly, ‘What the hell, man?!’
…
Although Lily did not see Fred, she felt something was amiss. Over the past two days, the guards looked tense and solemn, as if something important was about to happen.
Fred did not visit her, nor did Rhea. Lily also did not see Dominic.
