Chapter 1805
In response to Lily's question, the man laughed indifferently and said slowly, "That's nothing you should
worry about. It could be you, me, or any other intellectuals, but never those idiots.”
Arrogance and disdain were evident in his tone, making Lily frown as she scoffed. "You think you're one
of the intellectuals, then?"
"Of course!” He opened his arms and answered confidently. "Haven't the recent happenings proved my
intelligence? I was the one who planned everything and threw the world into chaos. If you hadn't
disrupted the process, I would’ve completed the entire project by now!"
Speaking of which, he felt it was a pity for not recruiting Lily since the beginning. If he had done so, he

project then.
The other researchers could not blend the fragrances and the herbs ideally after she left, causing the
project to delay until now. They had no choice but to bring her back into the team again.
She was an uncertainty to the organization and a hidden hazard to their project. They would not have
wanted to recruit her into the team if they had a choice.
"No, you're wrong," Lily said faintly, "It's not because of me. Many people are more brilliant than you
and I-the others from your organization. You're just too uncultured to see it. Even without my
involvement, the plague would be under control quickly, with the right actions taken to mediate the
situation. Even with me, your organization wouldn't succeed!"
"That's just your side of the story, but that isn't what I see!" He did not believe Lily’s words. From his
perspective and the news he had received, the plague was under control quickly because Lily
managed to create an antidote.
According to their initial plan, at least 25% of humankind should have died from the disaster. However,
that was all water under the bridge now. Their priority was their project, which the organization could no
longer delay.
Lily did not argue over that because it would be pointless. One day, he would need to pay the price for
his actions.
"Fine, let's move past those pointless conversations and get back to the point. What do you need me to
do, to be exact? Do I just need to blend the fragrances and herbs like before?" After a pause, she

inhale the drug?"
"That's right!" The man was pleased. "You're indeed an intelligent lady."
Lily only felt repelled by his praise and stood with one hand supporting her waist. "Let's not waste more
time and get down to brass tax. Show me that great research of yours."
However, Mike and the man stood still, staring at her profoundly as if he was pondering something.
"What is it? Do you have concerns?" Lily asked with a raised brow.
"Of course!" The man nodded, admitting to his concerns directly. "First of all, welcome to the
organization! Next, we'd like you to refrain from any communication with external parties during your
service period to prevent problems from arising. Hence, you must surrender your phone to us."
The man threw a look at Mike as he spoke. Although Mike was hesitant, he took a step toward Lily.
"Lily..."
