Chapter 1784

“I believe you’re capable, and I believe you can do it!” he cheered softly.

“It’s just that our strength is limited, and we shouldn’t be the only ones carrying this burden.” Lily leaned back slightly, creating some distance, and stared at him wide-eyed. She was startled.

“What’s wrong?” Alexander gently released her shoulders.

“Am I wrong?”

She shook her head. “No! I just didn’t expect you to agree with me!” Her spirits lifted, excitement blooming within her.

“There’s something I didn’t tell you, but you must promise not to get angry.” Seeing her serious expression and pointed finger, Alexander raised an eyebrow, smiling. “Oh? Tell me!”

“No, you have to promise you won’t be angry first!”

They had promised, early in their relationship, never to keep secrets from each other and always to discuss things openly. Later, she had been worried and angry when he’d faced danger in Burnwken without informing her; their agreement had been re-emphasized upon their reunion. This time, however, she was the one who’d broken the promise. Naturally, she felt guilty.

Alexander understood her apprehension, finding it amusing. To lighten the mood, he feigned consideration. “But if you don’t tell me, how will I know if I’ll get angry? Besides, it seems like only yesterday someone mentioned we shouldn’t hide things and should always have open discussions…”

“I admit I’m wrong! So, do you want to hear it or not?” She pursed her lips, a slight whine in her voice.

Alexander sighed softly. He wanted to tease her a little longer, but she wouldn’t allow it. Her childish demeanor instantly softened his heart. He pinched her cheek, saying dotingly, “Okay, I won’t get angry!”

Lily burst into laughter. Of course, she knew he wouldn’t be angry, but his reassurance held significant weight.

“Dr. Blanc called me two days ago,” she began solemnly.

Alexander nodded. “You told me.”

“Yes, but there’s a part I didn’t mention. I was testing the waters and discovered he knew about this mysterious organization. However, it’s a secret; it’s inappropriate to make it public,” she said, lowering her voice.

“Huh?”

Seeing his raised eyebrow and silence, she continued, “Later, I told him I knew about them too, and he was surprised. Since we both knew, we exchanged information. The organization’s existence is known, even to those in power. They’re incredibly clever, though, constantly moving before authorities can catch them.”

“They’ve gained some ground, but the government doesn’t realize how powerful their ace is, due to the weapon they possess. That’s why they haven’t acted rashly; they’re afraid of alarming them.” She carefully recounted Dr. Blanc’s words.

“So, I’m not fighting alone!”
