Chapter 2168
It was Austin’s first time meeting Cameron, so the former wondered how Cameron seemed to recognize him.
Cameron noticed his puzzled expression and said, “Dr. Blanc told me you’re a rare talent. “Dr. Blanc said you’re a rare talent. Keep up the good work, and don’t let him down.”
Austin was surprised Dr. Blanc would speak so highly about him to others, especially to someone like Cameron. Austin saluted solemnly, exclaiming, “Yes, sir!”
Alexander’s lips twitched. “This way, Cameron.”
Alexander let Cameron’s aide serve the tea when they sat in the spacious home office. After all, Cameron seldom drank or ate anything outside for safety reasons.
That was why Alexander suspected something was off when Cameron got kidnapped back then. He wondered how Rhea drugged and took Cameron away even though he had been so cautious and carefully guarded.
As it turned out, his suspicion was correct—it was part of Cameron’s plan, which was grander than Alexander had imagined.
“So, is the mastermind behind the organization an individual, a group, or a government?” Cameron cut to the chase as he sat down. His time was precious, and he did not want to waste it on chitchatting.
“Based on our investigation so far, we think it’s the Queen of Yudonia.”
Cameron was not surprised. Instead, he looked grim.
‘If it is the queen, things will get tricky.’
Alexander rubbed his eyebrows and pondered in silence before continuing, “From our observation and the clues I’ve gathered, I think the queen is just a puppet while the real mastermind is the duke.”
“You mean Fred?” It did not take long for Cameron to consider him.
Alexander enjoyed talking to intelligent people like Cameron. The former nodded and said, “We visited the embassy twice and met him there. He was always smiling but seemed to be the decision-maker there.
“Also, the queen trusts Fred a great deal back in Yudonia. He has served her for many years, and the queen’s reliance on him has increased for the past five years, especially since her health has deteriorated.”
Alexander noticed Cameron remaining quiet and added, “Fred is the only one who has relayed most of the queen’s decisions in recent years.
“Rumors have long claimed the queen has become Fred’s puppet. The person responsible for starting and operating the lab received his orders from Fred.”
“So the queen has been under his control?” Cameron raised his brow thoughtfully.
‘If that’s the case, it’ll be good for us.’
If the mastermind was the Queen of Yudonia, the situation could escalate into a full-blown war between the two nations unless Hyderland could gather support from other countries to stand against it.
Meanwhile, the situation was more manageable since the queen was just a puppet, and the troublemaker was Duke Frederick. After all, bringing him down and liberating the queen would be morally justifiable.
“Well, that’s just our speculation. We don’t have direct evidence to back this up,” Alexander said objectively.
In other words, acting without evidence would be unwise.
Cameron knew what he was talking about but changed the subject, “Where’s Rhea?”
