After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS

Zhao Yiming looked at Troy’s face, glistening with cold sweat, and jabbed his chest forcefully, his voice filled with heaviness and sorrow: "For someone as unfortunate as your sister, I have always felt deep sympathy."

"But you know, even though I have some influence in New Moon City, in the entirety of Hegemony Company, I’m just an employee under the headquarters, and I have to follow instructions from above."

"The directive I’ve received from above is clear: giving Hibell the gene compilation protein is possible, but only if every member of Wolf Raid surrenders, not a single one can be missing."

Reaching this point, Zhao Yiming sighed deeply, shook his head, and said: "But considering the situation with Wolf Raid, I know this is impossible. Forget about everyone else, even getting past Fenrir is out of the question."

"So, I’ve racked my brains and begged above on your behalf to broaden the conditions for your sister. You have no idea how many colleagues I’ve offended in the process."

"Now the matter is more or less settled. Headquarters has agreed that Wolf Raid’s surrender is not necessary, but there’s one last chance: you cooperate with me to carry out the execution of Fenrir."

"It’s actually very simple, you go back today, sleep as if nothing happened, and tomorrow we’ll have the authorities send someone to negotiate with Fenrir regarding the conferral ceremony."

"When she sends you out to gather information, you find a moment to tell her that there are no traps in this conferral ceremony, it’s very safe, everything is perfectly fine."

"That’s all. When March 20th comes, and she moves to Crown Plaza, I’ll have someone deliver the gene compilation protein into your hands, allowing you to save your sister, and from then on, you and your sister’s new life begins."

He put a hand on Troy’s shoulder, leaned closer, and said softly: "Friend, I really, really can only help you this far."

"Even I, an outsider, am doing my utmost to save Hibell, and you, as her brother, are you still hesitating? You’re not going to tell me that your feelings for Fenrir surpass those for your sister, are you?"

For Troy, his respect for Fenrir was unquestionable.

With his capabilities, if it weren’t for a sincere respect, how could he have followed Fenrir for ten years in silence?

But apart from respect, he also harbored another unknown feeling towards Fenrir, which was hatred.

These seemingly contradictory feelings were not only directed solely at Fenrir, but also focused on one point: her selflessness as a leader.

Fenrir’s goal was too clear, she wanted to lead Wolf Raid to liberate the borderlands’ people from the grasp of corporate giants, to turn the once-binding shackles to dust.

For this, she could charge forward regardless of the cost, sacrificing childhood companions or even siblings left behind by her deceased father, anything could be used as fuel for Wolf Raid’s advancement.

Sometimes Troy couldn’t help but wonder whether she still held any human emotions.

This decisiveness wasn’t something ordinary people could achieve; it was borne by unwavering will and an absolutely firm ideal.

Because of this, Troy held immense respect for this naturally gifted leader.

But similarly, it was also because of this that Troy harbored a deep-seated hatred for her.

When Hibell was rescued by Fenrir, she was very young, and out of admiration for her savior, she volunteered to become like Fenrir, a Azure Wolf Blood Code carrier.

As the Azure Wolf Blood Code required injuries to activate its powers, its risks, including the probability of contracting Blood Code Dissociation Syndrome, were higher than other blood codes.

For Hibell’s request, Fenrir didn’t dissuade her, which could have been fine, considering it was her personal choice.

Yet, even when Hibell unfortunately contracted Blood Code Dissociation Syndrome, Fenrir never expressed any sympathy or concern for her, still using her without restraint when needed, accelerating her condition to the point where by age 20, it was already at the terminal stage.

If Fenrir had advised Hibell even once in between, even if just a slight hint to take care of her health, Troy wouldn’t harbor such hatred.

But the truth was, there wasn’t even a word of concern. Up to now, when Hibell is nearing death, Fenrir’s mind is still consumed with her grand ambition, leaving no space for the little girl who had devoted half her life to following her.

Therefore, Troy respects Fenrir deeply, while also despising her to the core.

In the past, whether it be respect or hatred, Troy never showed it, silently keeping these emotions buried in his heart as he continued on the path alongside Fenrir.

But at this very moment, faced with the only thing in the world that could save his sister, these two utterly conflicting emotions clashed, as if a giant hand ruthlessly ransacked his heart.

Cold sweat soaked through the thin fabric of his shirt, and his lips trembled as he almost ground out his words through clenched teeth: "I can’t be a traitor..."

His voice was faint, weak, barely audible.

"Traitor?!" Zhao Yiming’s voice suddenly surged, passionately rebuking, "You’re not a traitor! The real traitor is someone else, and that is Fenrir!"

"It was she who betrayed you first, betrayed Hibell, treating your lives and existence like weeds, mere stepping stones for her! She was the one unjust and unkind from the beginning!"

"You have done nothing wrong! As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. You have done right by the heavens, by the earth, and by your conscience by doing everything possible to save your sister!"

Zhao Yiming’s grip tightened heavily on Troy’s shoulder, his voice blazing as if intending to incinerate everything of the past: "I’m telling you, stabbing Fenrir is not betrayal."
