“Sir...” At this point, Mike had no idea how to help Lily.
‘Is she crazy? Why did she have to mock him like that?’
The man before them was physically deformed and had a twisted mind. Only someone as such would create all those horrendous
things, after all. However, Lily insulted him straight to his face without caring about the consequences she would face.
“Do you know what you're doing? Do you have a death wish?” The man sneered coldly. His eyes, uncovered by the mask, revealed
a hint of ferocity.
Lily raised her brow. “You won't kill me, at least not for now. Am | right?”

“You seem pretty confident about it, huh?” The man turned around and jumped back onto his chair, swinging his crossed legs as he
watched Lily nonchalantly. It looked like he asked purely out of curiosity and in a kind manner.
His earlier hostility toward Lily seemingly diminished slightly, and his actions showed no signs of anger. Mike got the situation
instantly. Since Lily could still provide value to the organization, the man would not do anything to her, even when she had said
such harsh words to him.
‘Lily is taking a considerable risk here. Did she think about what kind of situation she would be in once the organization completes
its project?’
The man’s lunacy was beyond anyone's imagination. No one could tell how heavy of a grudge he would hold against Lily and how
he would torment her later.
“Seeing how you got Mike to bringhere at all costs, I'm sure I'm quite valuable to you. Since I'm still useful to you, you
wouldn't get rid ofso easily,” Lily said simply, without a hint of fear in her expression.
The man chuckled and asked, “Aren’t you afraid I'll get back at you once you've served your worth here?”
Lily replied immediately, “We'll talk about that later. Why worry about the future now? Nothing in this world is guaranteed, so we
won't know what will cnow or tomorrow or if an accident might happen. You might even die before you have the chance to get
revenge on me. Who knows, right?”
She spoke recklessly without restraint, causing Mike, standing next to her, to be drenched in sweat from anxiety. He did not expect
Lily to talk like this. Although she spoke the words he had in mind, it was too bold and reckless of her to reveal that to the man.
With a puzzled look, he turned to look at Lily, not quite getting what she had up her sleeves or what she was trying to do precisely.
However, Lily did not look at Mike at all. Instead, she focused on the tiny man before them. It was still unbelievable how such a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmman with a tiny build could cause so much chaos and turn the world upside down.
Lily knew the man had a twisted mind without needing Mike to tell her.
‘If the man isn’t a psychopath, how did he create so many deadly events, where smight even lead to humankind’s
destruction? He's a self-centered narcissist who did terrible things for his happiness without caring for other people’s wellbeing.”
Hence, Lily felt she did not need to be afraid of such a person. Plus, it was not like he would trust her completely even if she swore
her loyalty to the organization and did anything they said.
Since that was the case, she did not need to try hard to please them and pretend she agreed with their plans. Honesty was always
the best policy, after all.
It was similar to how one did things in business. Everyone was just business partners. Loyalty and trust meant nothing to such
people. Instead, only their self-interests and things that would affect that would make them believe she was genuinely willing to
work for them.
