“Impossible!” exclaimed Vera. “I just met him!” I don’t even know his name!”

Sophie smiled. “So, do you think it’s normal? Even though it’s all an act, you’re already ended up in bed.

“It’s fine if you don’t know his name, but didn’t he ask for yours?” she asked.

Vera was shocked as she really didn’t.

When a man was hunting for women, even if it was for the purpose of collecting spoils of war, he would still ask for the other party’s name.

But that terrifying man didn’t even ask.

He wasn’t curious about her, or… he already knew.

Upon thinking of this possibility, Vera’s back went numb.

“Forget it. It seems that you really don’t know the man’s name.” Sophie looked disappointed. “It would be even easier if the two of you had some sort of relationship.

“It wouldn’t be too much of a burden to invite him to join the company.”

“Impossible! I’m going to kill him!” snarled Vera.

“Tsk, based on that man’s performance, you don’t have that ability.” Sophie continued to provoke Vera. “Furthermore, after those three monsters arrive, you won’t be able to do anything you want.”

Vera caught Sophie’s underlying meaning and looked at her.

“You have a way?”

“Oh, cute little Vera, it seems that you have a good brain.” Sophie smiled and nodded.

The prey had finally taken the bait.

She clapped her hands, and a row of burly men in camo clothes walked in.

These men were so muscular that one could tell that they were no less muscular than Mr. Ossay, even through their camo uniforms.

However, this was not what surprised Vera the most. What surprised her the most was that these men all had the same face!

“Clones?”

Hearing Vera’s question, Sophie shook her head and said, “Why would I do something that breaks the moral bottom line?”

Just as Vera was about to heave a sigh of relief, Sophie added, ” “They are all cyborgs!”

This was scarier than a clone!

Vera was dumbfounded and subconsciously opened her mouth. “You’re crazy!”

“I’m going to be sad if you slander me like this.” Sophie showed a sad expression. “Every life must be respected. I’m just giving them a new life.”

“I don’t want to listen to your nonsense explanation,” Vera interrupted her. “I just want to ask what you want to do.”

“What I wanna do? It’s simple. I’m interested in that man and don’t want him to fall into the company’s hands.”

Sophie ran her fingers through her red hair. “These kids are good in every way, but they’re not very smart. They need a reliable commander.

“My dear little Vera, are you willing to help me?”

“No.” Vera shook her head. “I want him dead.”

“No problem. Dead or alive.”

Vera nodded. “Okay, deal.”

Since Vera agreed, Sophie took a suitcase from one of the cyborgs.

The suitcase was opened, and the low-temperature nitrogen caused the suitcase to condense into a layer of white mist.

“The X-22 Suppression Drug is also part of my collection.

“That man knew what he was doing. Although you can’t move your arm, it’s not a muscle injury.

“It’s just that your neuroticism prevents you from moving. After you inject this, you can move freely.”

When Vera heard that, she took out a syringe and injected it into her shoulder.

“The side effects of such a useful thing are severe.”

“You don’t have to explain to me. I’m too lazy to listen.”

Vera clenched her right fist, feeling the inexplicable restlessness in her body, and a trace of blue light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

‘Virgin boy, our second round has begun.’

…

A loud explosion resounded throughout the entire Rome Inverted.

Jin Yuchen was surprised when he heard the explosion.

‘This sound seems to be from a rocket of McRae Corp.

‘McRae Corporation found this place first and not Bruny?’

Yes, he had been waiting for these forces to discover this place.

The way he had come to turn the tables on Rome was arrogant.

He had teleported in Smith’s car under everyone’s watchful eyes. This kind of hint couldn’t be more obvious.

Although the current forces didn’t know how to use the tickets, they would definitely be able to get some information.

Rome Inverted would not be a secret if they tried a few more times.

This was the backup he had left behind.

If everything went well, he could obtain Nero’s treasure and escape.

If the progress was not smooth, then it would attract other forces to participate.

It would be easier to catch fish if the water was muddy.

‘Although the people who came are not the ones I expected, it doesn’t matter. As long as someone can attract the attention of these skeletons from the front, it’ll be fine.’

Jin Yuchen’s thumbs were pressed against his little fingers, and his three middle fingers were closed.

‘Alright, alright!’

The joints of his fingers made a crisp sound and then twisted into a strange angle. He casually struggled, and the shackles on his hands fell to the ground.

The eyes of the skeleton jailers around him glowed red as they turned to look at Jin Yuchen.

A skull was instantly shattered.

Jin Yuchen put down his hand that was on the wall. He had dug out a stone with his fingers.

Jin Yuchen moved his feet and freed his feet from the shackles.

He picked up two shackles from the ground and put them on his shoulders, then quickly walked to the prison door.

He threw a kick, and the cell door was deformed. Although the material was strong enough, the joints were still fragile.

As the cell door fell, a muscular skeleton and half-body armor rushed in.

Seeing the skeletons with short swords and small shields surrounding him, Jin Yuchen used the momentum to run and glared at the stone wall.

Using this reaction force, Jin Yuchen jumped high into the air and repeatedly kicked over the walls. He reached the roof in a few moments.

Jin Yuchen’s hands were in the cracks of the ceiling, and he was moving around like a spider.

In the past, when he was training his finger strength at the martial arts center, he only used a single finger to hook the hemp rope and let his body hang in the air.

A single finger could withstand the power of his entire body, let alone two hands.

The rough walls and ceiling were like flat ground to him.

With the help of the ceiling, Jin Yuchen managed to escape the skeletons’ encirclement. He then jumped to the side of a jar.

Jin Yuchen broke the jar with his hands, and the Nero Gold Coins were exposed in the dim light of the torch.

This was the reward he had won from the gladiator fights over the past few days.

With the coins in hand, Jin Yuchen’s eyes glowed red, and a familiar power flowed into his body.

Jin Yuchen swung his two shackles and smiled at the skeleton soldiers.

“The imprisonment game is over.”
