Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1851

“I don’t care if you’re a god, but since you’re here, you must produce results. Otherwise…”

“Otherwise, you’ll threaten me with my family, right?” Lily chuckled. “Come on. Is this the only tactic you’ve got? Besides, I 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? I still have everything under my control! I 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 I fail, wouldn’t you guys be wasting your time? What can you achieve even if you kill me and 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, I will allow those who yield to me to 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 I fail, everyone shall die with me!” He laughed maniacally, sending chills down Mike and Lily’s spines.

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.”
