“] don’t care if you're a god, but since you're here, you must produce results. Otherwise...”
“Otherwise, you'll threatenwith my family, right?” Lily chuckled. “Con. Is this the only tactic you've got? Besides, | wonder
how you're going to have your way outside. We're in Hyderland, not a place where you can do anything you please.”
The man snorted dismissively, then got up and walked to the wide floor-to-ceiling window, where he gazed downstairs. “So what if
it's Hyderland? | still have everything under my control! | run the show in this building, and soon everyone will yield to me!”
Lily felt the urge to kick him out the window and end all this as she watched him spread his arms and laugh maniacally.
However, she knew she could not, as she had yet discovered the most important secret. The R10 they discussed had yet to be
handed to her, and she thought it must be imperative.

Lily took a deep breath, calmed herself, and said blandly, “Oh, yeah? You never know because the experiment has yet to succeed.
If even | fail, wouldn't you guys be wasting your time? What can you achieve even if you killand my family and friends? You'll
still fail miserably!”
Her words failed to rile up the man as he laughed scornfully. “Do you think I'll run out of means by stalling and delaying the
experiment's success? If the experiment succeeds, | will allow those who yield toto live, and death awaits those that oppose
me! However, if the experiment fails...”
He paused before slowly saying, “Then I'll destroy the world!”
“If you could, why do you still look for me?” Unconvinced, Lily tried to provoke him.
The man turned halfway and sized her up from the corner of his eye as his scarred lips curled into a grim smile. “I'll destroy the
world along with myself! Everyone shall perish together. If | fail, everyone shall die with me!” He laughed maniacally, sending chills
down Mike and Lily's spines.
“| think you overestimate yourself.” Lily clenched her fists and told herself inwardly that he was only trying to scare her.
‘How could one person destroy the whole world?’
“You can choose not to believe me, but you'll see. Oh, yeah, | forgot to tell you that the pandemic at Burnkwen is just a trial run.
Even a small pandemic is enough to cause such havoc in every country worldwide. Do you seriously think | can’t cause something
worse?”
Lily fixed her gaze on him, trying to see if he was hiding something or looking guilty. However, she was disappointed because all

‘He's a madman!’
Although she knew it from the beginning, she grew convinced that he was no doubt crazy. Putting aside whether or not what he
claimed was true, she thought his intentions to get everyone to die with him were dangerous and terrifying.
Lily clenched her fists tightly and tried to remain calm outwardly as she said, “You don’t want to die.”
He let out a mocking and dismissive snort.
“If you want to die, you would have done so. Either you can’t destroy the world as you claim, or you don’t want to die.”
Although Lily could not see his expression behind the mask, she sensed hesitation in his eyes before adding, “You enjoy winning.
Why would you want to die if you haven't gotten what you want or achieved your goal? You'd like to win and succeed, so you don’t
want to die.”
