Hearing Hellman's words, Alex Carter couldn't help but chuckle.
"You mentioned the Relic? It's right here with me."
"What did you say!?"
Hellman felt as if his mind had exploded, leaving him utterly stunned.
Did he hear that correctly?
The man in front of him, this Easterner, actually claimed that the Relic was here!
Could it be that the incident from two days ago...
"You've probably guessed it by now. I was the one who took the Relic," Alex grinned.
Hellman's heart froze at the sight of Alex's white teeth.
It was really him!
And he openly admitted it to Hellman.
This was a setup for silence!
As for daring to resist...
Alex had already accomplished so much; Hellman was just an afterthought!
Realizing this, Hellman hurriedly pleaded, "Please, sir, don't act impulsively."
"I can still be of great value to you!"
"I have Arasaka's biotechnology secrets. If you sell them to Kang Tao, the reward will be unimaginable!"
"Yes, I can even speak to Ms. Ling Xiaohan, a member of Kang Tao's board of directors! I can recommend you to join Kang Tao!"
...
In a desperate bid to save his life, Hellman revealed all his cards.
And Alex had to admit, what Hellman was offering was enough to save him from most mercenaries.
"I must admit, what you're saying is quite tempting."
Alex smiled and sat across from Hellman.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Hellman's face lit up with relief, and he quickly continued:
"Don't worry, what you said will stay with me forever!"
"Just keep me safe, and that's all I ask!"
The smile on Alex's face grew even wider.
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, yes, I promise!"
Alex nodded slightly, then stood up and untied the ropes binding Hellman.
"Go take a shower first; you reek."
Patting Hellman on the shoulder, Alex sat back to wait.
Hellman didn't refuse.
Even without Alex's suggestion, the first thing he wanted to do after ensuring his safety was to take a shower.
To wash away the humiliation.
As he entered the bathroom, Hellman's previous smile twisted into a sneer.
A lowlife from the bottom of society!
A mercenary scumbag!
How dare he threaten him?
"Just wait, I'll see if you're still alive by the time I send the files!"
"Damn, this filthy hotel."
"Why isn't there even hot water!"
...
Amidst his irritable complaints, Hellman finally washed off the grime and stench.
As he opened the door, Alex, with a smirk, stood at the bathroom entrance.
"Cleaned up? Then get ready to go."
Hellman paused for a moment, nodding somewhat blankly: "No problem, let's go now..."
"Shing!"
The blood-stained blade emerged from behind him.
Hellman looked in disbelief at the long blade protruding from his chest.
"You... you..."
"What do you want to say? Why I killed you?" Alex looked at him with a sneer.
"Maybe you don't know. I've wanted to blow your brains out for a long time, but circumstances didn't allow it."
"As for the information and connections you mentioned, they're quite valuable to me."
"It's just that, once I consume you, everything in your mind will naturally become mine."
! ! !
In Hellman's shocked gaze, countless tiny black-red tendrils burst from Alex.
They plunged mercilessly into his body!
"Ahhh!!!"
...
In a world filled with violence, no one noticed the screams from a small hotel room.
When Hellman's cries faded, there was no longer any trace of him in this world.
Not a drop of blood remained.
Satiated, Alex sifted through the memories.
He searched for valuable information in the implant expelled by the Blacklight Virus on the floor.
"Tsk, tsk, this guy knew a lot. No wonder he had the confidence to make such offers."
Browsing through the memories plundered from Hellman, Alex clicked his tongue in secret.
Kang Tao had good reason to pay such a high price for Hellman.
With Hellman, they could access the core production methods of the Relic.
And the programming for most soul killers.
In addition, there were numerous precious materials that Arasaka was still experimenting with.
These were the results of Arasaka's investments of tens of billions of euros!
The main thing was that Hellman seemed capable of providing even more reports to Kang Tao.
He dangled just enough of these assets to keep Kang Tao interested.
And now, it was all Alex's to claim!
"Oh, the next part's going to be fun."
Alex was all smiles.
What he needed to do now was go to his contact to build an operating system.
Once the information in his head was converted into file format, he could negotiate with Kang Tao's people.
"Drip..."
Suddenly, a communication from V interrupted Alex's train of thought.
"V, what's up?"
The pretty face of V appeared on the other end of the communication.
"When are you coming back? I received a request. Let's go together if it's convenient."
A request?
"No problem, my business is wrapped up. I'll be in the city soon. Whose commission is it, if you don't mind me asking?" Alex inquired curiously.
V didn't hesitate.
"You might not know her, but she's a braindance editor I recently met."
"Her name's Judy Alvarez."
