"Well, the formula has been encrypted, so I can't just send it to you," Mike explained, "You're not scared of me coming over, are you?" "I'm not scared, but it's inconvenient," Rhea coughed and said, "I'll be too busy soon and have no time to see you."

After a pause, she said with a frown, "Can't you just decrypt it?"

"That's not as easy as you think, and I worry I might destroy the file. It's safer to deliver something so important to you by hand."

Since Mike was insistent, Rhea grew suspicious and asked, "Mike, are you insisting on coming because you have something to tell me?"

"Yes." He hesitated and answered truthfully," I want to know when you'll rescue my son!"

Alarmed, Rhea glanced at Fred and quickly calmed herself down as she said, "I told you to wait, didn't I? After I create the invisibility potion, then I'll be able to—"

"My son can't wait that long!" Mike sounded anxious. "You're not trying to trick me, are you?"

"I'm not, okay? Have you forgotten who I am? I'm your master, and everything I do is for your good," she stressed, "Tell me. Who I am?"

Falling silent for a moment, Mike answered somewhat reluctantly, "You're my master."

"That's right! So you must believe everything I tell you. All my solutions are the best, understood?" Rhea said, trying to deepen the hypnotic effect on him. Mike hesitated and said, "Understood."

Rhea sighed in relief. "So, can you send me the formula now?"

"I can't. I really have to deliver it by hand." Mike was unusually adamant.

Rhea was speechless because she had confirmed that her hypnosis was working, and he responded to her suggestions.

"No-" As she tried to turn him down, Fred covered the microphone and said, "Tell him he can come."

Rhea was stunned and puzzled by Fred's intention.

"Tell him to come tomorrow night," Fred added after some thought.

"But-"

Fred said, "Just do as I say!"

As Rhea was about to do so, Mike said, "Hello? Did you hear what I said? I must deliver it by hand. I went through a great deal for it, so I don't want to risk it."
