"Hahaha! Lucien Sterling, I never really thought much about you, but now that I hear your tone, I can see you're scared!" Miles laughed, momentarily forgetting his pain. He looked at Lucien with a mocking expression in his eyes as he said.
"Poke... poke...!!"
"Ahhhh!" Lucien took the pen again and poked Miles' other hand multiple times, causing him to scream loudly once more.
"Are you going to tell me about it or not?" Lucien asked, his tone devoid of emotion, not in the mood for mind games.
Miles' guess was right on target. Lucien feared that his suspicions might turn out to be true.
He had already guessed how Miles had managed to access the underground lab and who might have assisted him.
Lucien simply wanted confirmation to prepare for the impending confrontation, which he believed wouldn't be minor, but rather an event that would send shockwaves through the entire nation – something he hoped to avoid.
