After hanging up, Mike quickly went to knock on Alexander and Austin’s bedroom doors, telling them to come out. Mike said, “She wants the invisibility potion formula.” The other two exchanged looks with Mike and said in unison, “Fat chance.” Alexander nodded and said, “She’s pretty greedy, huh?” “What should we do?” Mike asked.
“There’s no invisibility potion to begin with. We can’t give Rhea a fake formula, can we?” Austin shrugged.
However, Alexander said thoughtfully, “Perhaps… we can.”
Austin was baffled.
“Well, can you tell if a formula is fake right away?” Alexander asked.
Austin shook his head. “No, I can only tell after I experiment with it.”
He caught on to Alexander’s intentions but still did not think it would work. “Even so, it wouldn’t work. I’ll find out the formula is fake in the end.”
“But you’ll have to experiment with it first,” Alexander continued, “Besides, she would assume it’s based on their research. There’s no guarantee it would work.”
Austin rubbed his chin pensively. “You’re right.”
After all, not every study was accurate.
Still not getting it, Mike asked, “What’s the point of giving her a fake formula?”
Alexander looked at him. “It’s the process that matters.”
“Are you suggesting I find out what’s going on in the embassy when I give her the formula?” Mike asked.
It sounded like a good idea, but he thought otherwise. “I don’t think it’ll work.
Even Prince Ross failed to find out anything and was forced to leave. Fred seems to know everything.”
“Things are different now, and Dominic is still there.” Alexander shook his head.
“Besides, time is running out. The duke must be getting anxious, and I bet he’s going to make mistakes.”
Austin added, “That’s right. It’ll be great if you can find out how my granduncle is doing.”
“All right then.” Mike nodded. “When should I go? Tomorrow?”
“No, the day after tomorrow.”
“Why?”
Alexander said, “Since you told Rhea you didn’t know where the researchers were, she’ll get suspicious if you give it to her too soon. Also, you must tell her you can’t guarantee the formula would work.”
Mike caught on. “I see.”
“Alex is right,” Austin said, “Should we tell Dr. Blanc about it first?”
“It won’t be necessary. Dr. Blanc was just doing us a favor back then.” Alexander looked toward Mike. “He doesn’t need to know.”
Glancing at the two, Austin sighed and sat down. “I wonder how Uncle Dom is doing now.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“They must’ve abducted him to get him to do something. He’ll be fine until they no longer need him,” Alexander said.
