Faced with an immediate, lethal threat, the so-called authorities turned ghost-white, instinctively retreating several steps in their observation room.
In the United Realmon States, pulling a gun wasn't an empty threat.
"T-this... this is highly illegal!" Professor Sterling stammered, his voice vibrating with terror.
"Illegal?" Nicholas scoffed, a dark, freezing amusement swirling in his devastating eyes. The chilling intent rolling off him was enough to make a man's blood run cold.
He snatched the gun off the table with lightning speed and leveled the dark muzzle squarely at the camera lens, aiming right between Professor Sterling's eyes on the monitor. "I don't have a lot of patience. Shut your mouth."
Professor Sterling froze completely, cold sweat instantly drenching his back.
The other experts scrambled backward, desperate to get out of the line of fire.
This young man from Elyndor was radiating an aura of absolute slaughter. He wasn't playing around!
They were insane!
Every single person in this room was completely insane!
They were treating a human life like it was nothing but a sick joke!
But staring down the barrel of a loaded gun, not a single one of them dared to make a sound.
"Go ahead, niece. You do whatever you need to do," Douglas said, his cold eyes still fixed on the monitor. "If they try to interfere again, I'll make sure they never speak another word."
Serena gave a curt nod toward the camera, then turned her focus back to Baldur. "Alright. Let's begin."
Baldur was drowning in a cold sweat. "Miss Serena, are the assistants you called actually going to show up?"
Serena snapped on a pair of sterile surgical gloves, her fingers expertly adjusting a syringe. "They're almost here."
Baldur's panic skyrocketed.
*Almost?*
In a life-or-death situation, the gap between "almost here" and "standing at the table" was a bottomless chasm!
Under these extreme circumstances, he was the only assistant on deck, and he had less than zero confidence in his ability to support her through this nightmare.
But the point of no return had already been crossed.
