Chapter 1490
Austin panicked but had to act calm. "Why would I wait for him? Isn't he one of you?"
Nodding, Rhea said, "So you're not waiting for him? That’s good, then. Oh, yes, you are unaware of
many things that have taken place outside.
Something happened to Professor Thompson today. I don’t suppose you're able to see him again."
"What happened?" Austin asked, despite himself.
"He had an accident, and the doctor couldn’t save him. What a pity." She let out a sigh, but there was
no trace of regret in her voice.
Austin’s pupils dilated in shock. "You guys killed him?” "Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Rhea clicked her tongue and

crashed into his car. How could you accuse us of murder? We're law- abiding citizens and could not
bear to murder anyone, okay?" "Ha! Law-abiding citizens?" He snorted a laugh and said, "Would law-
abiding citizens brandish their guns and commit false imprisonment? Rhea Moore, I never thought a
woman could be so cold-blooded and vile!
"Whatever it is, Professor Thompson was your senior, and he treated you well, didn’t he? He wanted to
stop the experiment and change its direction, but he dared not do anything after being threatened by
you guys. He didn’t even dare go to the police, for God's sake! How could you guys kill him? Are you
even humans?"
He remembered that Thompson had treated him quite well after he joined the laboratory and that he
would have long since died if the man had not given him food and water two days ago.
'But now he's dead. What about me? Am I going to die soon or has Rhea come to kill me?'
Fear surged within him.
'These people are truly cold-blooded! Just what horrible things are they trying to create through the
experiment?' "I told you it was an accident! As for you..." Looking down at him, Rhea said blandly,
"You're injured, and we would like you to rest here so you can recuperate. You used to treat the
research institute as your home and hardly went back, didn't you? How could you say we’re committing
false imprisonment?" "B*llshit!" Austin did not want to argue with her anymore, as she was full of it.
Irritated, he said impatiently, "Then what do you want to do now? Kill me? If you want to kill me, do it
quickly, and stop dawdling!"

"You're so eager to die, huh?" Rhea smiled. "Didn't I tell you that we're law- abiding citizens and don't
kill anyone? Anyway, we can very well say that you’re the one who killed him!" "Me?" "Yeah, you!"
Nodding, Rhea said thoughtfully, "If he hadn't tried to tip off Lily for your sake, he wouldn’t have driven
over there and met with the accident. So, who else had killed him other than you?" "I..." Austin was
flabbergasted.
For a brief moment, he nearly believed what she was saying and was almost convinced that he was the
one who caused Thompson's death.
"Not only have you killed Professor Thompson, but you’re also going to get another person killed!"
Rhea continued, "I'm going to bring you over so you can see with your own eyes how many people
would die because of a jinx like you!" She grabbed his collar and dragged him up from the floor.
