Chapter 291

作者: Memo Harbor
Vincent looked at Cyrus with earnest eyes. "Cyrus, my life is in your hands now. Are you really still afraid I would betray you? If anything happens to you, I am dead too."

Cyrus admitted to himself that the plan was indeed feasible.

Vincent understood perfectly well that Cyrus intended to use him as a shield. On top of that, Vincent believed he had already been poisoned, so betraying Cyrus would amount to suicide.

Once they successfully entered the bunker, Severin's two gold-plated Desert Eagles would pose little threat to Cyrus at all.

'Our success rate is extremely high. At least 95%,' Cyrus judged inwardly.

Even so, a tiny sliver of unease lingered. Cyrus' approach to survival could be summed up in one word: cautious. He excelled at defense, but offense had never been his strength.

This would be the first time he launched a proactive attack on a super bunker. Claiming that he felt no anxiety would be a lie.

    "But for now, I need to think about how to use my ability to block the attack methods of Severin's bunker." Cyrus rubbed his chin, his expression grave. "Gas. High-temperature jet flames. When traps release them, they rush straight toward me. That means I encounter no resistance when I absorb them. In theory, this should be entirely doable."His eyes grew brighter as his thoughts pushed open the door to a brand-new domain. "My pocket dimension exists in a state of absolute, or near-absolute, stasis. So if I keep the kinetic energy unchanged and simply reverse the direction by altering the vector, I could even send the attacks straight back to their source."Cyrus paced the room, excitement flashing in his eyes.After thinking it through, he left and went downstairs to an empty apartment. There, he lit a fire to begin testing.When the flames rose, Cyrus extended his right hand toward them, fingers spread wide, and activated his ability. The fire flowed into his pocket dimension.J

    "But inside the bunker, there are tear gas and anesthetic gas dispersal systems," Vincent added. "And in the entrance corridor, there are high-temperature flame jets."As he spoke, he cast a nervous glance at Cyrus. "That part is the most dangerous. Severin demonstrated it for us before. He threw a chicken inside, and within one second, it was fully cooked."They say that the moment it activates, the entire passage turns into a massive oven. The temperature can spike to 1,800°C. Forget people. Even steel would melt."Cyrus listened with intense focus and did not miss a single word.The moment Vincent finished speaking, Cyrus began to map the bunker in his mind, sketching out a rough blueprint.While Cyrus thought, Vincent did not dare speak again. He remained kneeling, silent and obedient, waiting.After a while, Cyrus reached under the coffee table, pulled out a pen and paper, and began to draw.His first consideration was his own safety. No matter how tempting Severin's bunker

    After reading through Vincent's chat history, Cyrus honestly felt very little.Most of it was exactly what he had already expected. He had never once believed that he possessed some kind of overwhelming personal charisma that could make a schemer like Vincent swear undying loyalty to him.For someone like Vincent, playing both sides and choosing whichever option benefited him most was the most natural behavior in the world.Vincent knelt anxiously in front of Cyrus, desperately trying to justify himself. "Cyrus, you already injected me. How could I still dare to hurt you? If anything happens to you, I won't survive either!"Yes, I said some bad things about you before, but I never actually did anything to harm you! Right now, I'm completely on your side!"Cyrus said nothing. He simply rubbed his chin and began thinking. From Vincent's chat records with Severin, he had gained some additional, very important information.First, the weapons intelligence Vincent leaked only mentioned

    Cyrus narrowed his eyes to thin slits. A flicker of killing intent flashed through them. "Hand it over. Now. You are not hiding something from me, are you?""No. Of course not. It is just… I just…" Cold sweat streamed down Vincent's forehead. His gaze darted around the room, and his right hand rose instinctively to cover his pocket.Cyrus did not bother arguing. He drew his black handgun and pressed the muzzle against Vincent's forehead. "So talking nicely does not work, huh?"Vincent panicked at once. "Cyrus, do not shoot. Do not shoot. I did say a few bad things about you to Severin, but that was only to mislead him. I did not mean any of it."Cyrus's patience snapped. His voice dropped. "Give it to me."Vincent no longer dared to stall. His hands shook as he pulled out his phone, unlocked it, and passed it over."It is out of battery," he muttered, making one last feeble attempt to resist.Cyrus glanced at the screen. The battery really was drained. That came as no surprise.

    That night stretched far longer than either of them had expected.With the problems in the complex finally resolved for good, a weight lifted from Cyrus' chest. For the first time in a long while, he felt completely at ease. This time, he held nothing back.Zoey felt the same release. Desires she had suppressed for far too long finally burst free over the course of a single, overwhelming night.There was, however, a clear difference between them. Cyrus' stamina and energy were absurdly resilient. When morning arrived, he remained as lively as ever, sharp-eyed and brimming with vigor.By contrast, Zoey was utterly spent. She could barely get out of bed, let alone stay upright long enough to make breakfast.In an excellent mood, Cyrus pulled food from his pocket dimension and ate leisurely.All that remained was to see how things unfolded on Vincent's end.Once Vincent sent word, and once Cyrus confirmed that the opportunity was real and worth pursuing, he would go take a look wit
