Chapter 1819
Mike looked away, lowered his gaze, and said blandly, "No, sir.”
The little man did not care if Mike was lying or pretending. Then he revealed a pleased smile as if he
had seen through everything. "I don't f*cking care, Mike. Do you think someone like me would fear
death? Still, I know you won’t kill me because I have your son. You won't dare to kill me if he hasn't
returned to your side.”
Mike clenched his fists at his sides and tried to restrain himself, but his emotions surged when the man
mentioned his son.
He had a video call with his son a week ago and had told his men to intensify their search for nick.
However, there had been no leads. Sometimes he even thought about the worstcase scenario and

Mike even suspected that what he saw during the video calls were Al imaging or pre-recordings
created to manipulate him into cooperating with them.
But during each video call, he thoughtfully made his son perform specific gestures or bring up private
matters and trivial details from the past. The child had never made a mistake and could always respond
accordingly. It gave him hope that his son was still alive.
After all, Mike knew he owed his son too much. Mike's life would lose meaning if he could not protect
and save Nick.
"I can give my life to you. Can you let him go?” Mike slowly raised his head, looked at the man, and
made a decision." Let’s make a deal."
"A deal?" The man raised his brows and looked at Mike, intrigued.
He nodded. "You can use any of the drugs in the lab to control me, just like what you did to Austin and
others. I will accept this as long as my son can return to me.
"You're holding him hostage, so I'll do anything you want. Since that's the case, put me under any
drugs' influence or poison to ease your mind. Just give me back my son. He's just a child. How can he
cause you trouble?"
Mike had decided this after careful consideration, and it was currently the best solution he could devise.
He would not hesitate if he could exchange his life for his son's.
However, the man did not say a word and simply looked deeply at him, his head slightly cocked. His
cruel and cunning eyes behind the mask looked Mike up and down carefully.
Mike just stood still and let the man observe him.
He knew the man was so devious and suspicious that he trusted no one. Having dealt with him for so

'No one, not even Rhea or Lily, can win his trust. So I think I must do something to make him believe in
me before he can free Nick.'
"You can take my life if you want, but my son is innocent and shouldn't be involved!” Mike stepped
forward and tried to persuade the man.
Still, the man laughed gratingly. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, making strange, bone-chilling
sounds. His laugh would always send shivers down Mike's spine, not just because of his sinister and
terrifying demeanor but also due to the creepy sound of his laughter.
"Mike, you think too highly of yourself,” He said laughingly, " Do you think I can't use the drugs on you
even if I don’t
return your son to you? Do you think I can't just put you under the influence if I wanted to?"
Mike was baffled.
