Cyrus' face tightened with urgency.Kenneth was just as anxious. "Cyrus, hurry. Go check on her. Don't let anything happen."Cyrus nodded. "Zoe, take care of Kenneth and the baby. I'm going out to take a look."With that, he turned and left at once. Back in his room, he began to gear up. He strapped on body armor and ballistic pants, fastened his tactical belt, and secured his pistol and knife. An M4 rifle followed, slung neatly over his shoulder.The visor of his ballistic helmet snapped down with a sharp click. He was ready.Cyrus took out his phone and sent a message to the residents' group.[Everyone, gather at Room 1301 on the 13th floor. I'll distribute supplies and decide the future division of the Cervusa buildings. You may choose buildings freely. First come, first served.]After that, he sent a second message, this one directly to Vincent.[Stay home.]He slipped the phone back into his pocket and stepped outside. His pace remained unhurried, yet even from a distance

After hearing Cyrus' words, Kenneth was so moved that he did not know how to respond."This… This is really too much trouble for you. Your supplies are limited as it is. With three more mouths to feed, even the coal for heating would double. When I recover, I'll move out. I still have arms and legs. I can't just live off you."Cyrus smiled. "Let's not talk about that right now. Focus on getting better. We'll sort out everything else later."Just then, the baby in Cyrus' arms let out a piercing cry and burst into tears. Cyrus had no experience with babies at all, and the way he held her was completely wrong. She woke almost at once and began wailing without pause.He tried to soothe her in a rush, but nothing he said worked. The crying only grew louder. His head started to pound. Even when dozens of people had tried to kill him, he had never felt a headache like this.Kenneth was no help either. At home, Chloe had always been the one to care for the baby. With no other option, Cyru

Chloe fixed Cyrus with a deliberate, teasing stare. "So when I come back later, you won't refuse to let me in, right?"Cyrus snorted. "Listen to yourself. What kind of person do you take me for? Kenneth is still here. If I didn't open the door for you, what would that make me?"Chloe smiled craftily. Without warning, she pushed the baby in her arms straight into Cyrus' embrace. "Alright then. Help me look after the baby for a bit. I'll be right back."She was certain that neither Cyrus nor Zoey knew the first thing about caring for a baby. As long as she left the child behind, Cyrus would have no choice but to let her back in.Her little scheme was perfectly clear to him. He sneered inwardly. Did she really think he would not dare throw the baby out?On the surface, he kept a gentle smile. "No problem. But Chloe, you'd better come back quickly. I'm afraid I won't be very good at taking care of a baby."Chloe's smile turned smug. "Don't worry. I don't plan to stay outside any long

Cyrus reassured Kenneth.By now, Kenneth meant something very different to him. His body had already mutated, and the exact nature of the ability remained unknown. Still, based on Zoey's description and what Cyrus had observed so far, it most likely involved physical enhancement.That detail mattered to Cyrus and to his plans. Put bluntly, what he needed was a reliable laborer and a human shield."Focus on recovering," Cyrus said calmly. "You don't need to worry about anything else."Kenneth's voice was weak. "That won't do. I feel completely drained. I can't even lift my arms. If this goes on, I'll be a burden to you for a long time.""It's fine," Cyrus replied, fully aware that the muscle relaxants caused this effect. "Rest properly. I'm here."Kenneth looked at him with gratitude and nodded. Chloe, who stood nearby, seized the opportunity at once. "Cyrus, you're treating my husband so well. Our family of three doesn't even know how to thank you. In the future, we'll have to re

That reaction only deepened Vincent's certainty that he had been poisoned.Cyrus spoke with calm assurance. "No need to panic. It's slow-acting. This way, neither of us has to second-guess the other. If you screw me over, you die too. And once I take that bunker, I won't have any reason to kill you. On the contrary, you'll get food and a comfortable place to live."Vincent retched for a while longer. Misery washed over him, but one truth cut through the haze. He had earned Cyrus' trust."I get it," Vincent said hoarsely. "I'll contact Severin as soon as I'm back. We'll move fast."Cyrus nodded. "Good. Go back for now. I'll give you instructions when needed."Vincent gasped for air and staggered down the stairs. He used the railing for support. Cyrus watched him go and released a quiet breath.Working with Vincent and catching a glimpse of a billion-dollar bunker was a major gamble. In reality, the so-called slow poison did not exist.Cyrus had injected methylene blue, a drug use

Vincent waited outside for several minutes before the door finally opened. He craned his neck at once and saw Cyrus approaching with a silver briefcaseVincent's gaze locked onto the case. Its sleek surface looked ominous, as if it concealed something impossible to predict.Cyrus stopped in front of him and asked evenly, "Do you know what I used to do?"Vincent stiffened, then shook his head. Back when he had been a rich kid, Cyrus had seemed like just another ordinary young man in the complex. Vincent had never paid him any attention.Cyrus continued calmly, "I started out as a fighter. In 2041, I won my first Southeast Lervea free-fighting championship."In 2042, I defeated the heavy hitter Druk Rakon. After that, I spent three straight years sweeping through the top karate fighters from Blossoma."Later, I joined a Gaullan mercenary group. I fought in the Middle East for years. People called me 'Half a Fox.'"Eventually, I got tired of killing. I came back home. Now, I'm just
