“However,” Lily paused, “I have a request.”
“Nit.” The man did not even blink. He did not care what her request was.
“I'll produce your desired results in five days and leave here...” Lily said calmly, “safely!”
“You can’t!” The man readily rejected it without thinking. “How will | know if what you giveis fake? How will | possibly know if
you've succeeded? I'll let you go once we complete the task.”

Lily asked immediately, “Once you complete the task? What task?”
The man’s reaction was quick. He immediately realized she was trying to get him to reveal their plan and fell silent. After a few
seconds, the man chuckled. “I almost fell for it, Lily. Why? Are you trying to getto reveal our plan?
“Rest assured, you'll discover what you want to know eventually, but now isn’t the tyet. Each person has their responsibilities.
The sgoes for me!” The man pointed to his chest. “So, stop thinking about what you shouldn't and just do a good job. The
organization will not mistreat anyone who contributes to it!”
“Of course, it would not spare anyone who betrays it either!” He added coldly, then slowly climbed up to stand on the chair.
Standing there, he did not look much taller, but one could feel his overwhelming presence.
It differed from the one Alexander had. He had a noble presence. His decisions would make people believe in him and yield to him
involuntarily. However, the man before them only instilled fear in them.
The man’s physical body, gaze, and everything else made people think he was perverted. As it was impossible to know what he
would do next, one would feel pressured as if enveloped by darkness.
Still, Lily ignored that feeling and stood up. She was slightly taller than him as she looked down at him and said, “Don’t forget I'm
only working with you. | agreed to do this not because of your threat but to challenge myself with things I've never accomplished.

“That's not up to you.” The man laughed. “You still don’t know what's happening outside, do you?”
Lily was puzzled. She glanced at Mike, but he looked clueless, too.
When they saw confusion in each other's eyes, Mike rushed over and slammed his hands on the desk, asking emotionally, “What
have you done to my son?!”
As he was too agitated, he shoved his face near the man.
