Lily understood Edward's pain and was shocked.
She stopped persuading him but raised her hand, paused, and lightly placed it on his shoulder. With a sigh, she said, "All right! But
you must be careful and remember to stay under the radar."
Edward nodded and was about to leave when she stopped him again. "Edward!"
When he turned around, he saw Lily stepping forward to look at him. "There may be a solution for the virus in your body. Don't give
up just yet! You must know that there are still people waiting for you!"
Edward was stunned, probably because he did not quite believe there was a solution to the virus in his body. However, after seeing
the sincerity in Lily's eyes, he knew she meant well, even if it was just to comfort and give him hope.
Edward nodded with a light smile. "I know."

Several people left the office, one after another. Within half an hour, the news had already spread like wildfire.
Few people knew about the masked man’s existence, especially the ground staff. Moreover, the vaccine development base did not
fully disclose this laboratory's project.
In addition to the “vaccine,” there were other ongoing projects where laboratories and teams had different responsibilities. Only
sof this laboratory's personnel knew about the masked man. Those who knew him were Mike, Rhea, Lily, his bodyguards, and
a few more individuals involved with the organization.
This news began to spread among smaller groups, and they were anxious to find the “boss’s” whereabouts. However, they could
not make it too obvious lest they alert the vaccine development base.
The impromptu emergency meeting occurred in the laboratory's small room. Since Mike had always given orders, he sat in the
main seat with Rhea on the opposite end. The dissatisfaction was apparent on her face. On the other hand, Lily was unbothered as
she randomly pulled a chair and sat down.
Then she noticed an unfamiliar man sitting across from Rhea.
The man had a muscular figure. Lily knew he was a seasoned practitioner at a glance. Under his suit and leather shoes, every
slight movement from him showcased the muscles under his clothes.
Although he looked strong, he was just quietly sitting there. He observed the room with a sharp gaze and straight back.
'This man is a master!" Lily concluded. She lowered her eyes, with a notebook and pen in her hand, writing and drawing
occasionally. She had the most indifferent attitude among everyone in the room.
"People like us seldom get a chance to gather like this. Today's a special case. We simply had to gather everyone here," Mike said
after clearing his throat.

He looked around, continuing in a deep voice, "The boss is missing!"
The room fell silent. However, everyone already knew this, so no one was surprised.
Rhea snorted softly. "Get to the point!"
Mike glared at her and continued, "We must keep the boss's identity a secret so this matter can’t go public. The most important
thing right now is to find him as soon as possible while remaining under the radar."
"That's simple." Rhea crossed her legs while gently stroking her delicate nails and smiled sarcastically.
"Do you have a clue?" Mike raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Rhea's sarcastic smile remained as she looked at Mike and said with a sneer, "I'll have to ask you about that!"
At this moment, the atmosphere turned tense.
