"How can this world be a terrible place when Susie is in it?" Julian Shaw said matter-of-factly. Then, he showed off his love out of nowhere.
This intentional display of love was no longer capable of eliciting a response from Julius Jenner. Julian's unexpected trick managed to make Julius roll his eyes a few times.
He then said expressionlessly, “I was an orphan from a very young age."
"I know that. I read it in Julius' records," said Julian.
"I looked rather adorable when I was young so I was adopted by someone soon." A reminiscing glint flashed past Julian's eyes. "The first family that adopted me treated me rather well in the beginning, but later on, they surprisingly conceived a child and then I turned into a thorn in the flesh for them. They began beating me up and scolding me all the time."
"Did that make you resent society?" Susan Shelby could not refrain from asking.
Julius took a side glance at her and said nonchalantly, "How is an insignificant matter like this worthy of making me resent society? What's wrong with your way of thinking?"
Susan had the urge to flip a table from rage.
He was obviously a sociopath.
Julius went on to say, "Afterward, the family of three left me behind while they traveled. Then, they all died in a car crash."
This was a tragic development that rendered Julian and Susan speechless for a moment.
"As a result, I returned to the orphanage. It did not take long before I was adopted by a second family. This family treated me well, yet in the end, a fire killed them all as well. I was the only one who was rescued.”
Julian and Susan continued to remain silent.
"Soon, came a third family...” Julius raised an eyebrow. "What do you think happened then?”
"An accident... An accident occurred as well?" asked Susan cautiously.
"You’re right,” Julius said helplessly. "A murderer broke into the house and killed the entire family. I was the only one who narrowly escaped by hiding under the table. Three families that adopted me consecutively had an accident. I was regarded as the bane of life. Then, no one had the courage to adopt me anymore and I stayed in the orphanage until I was 18 years old. When I turned 18,1 enlisted in the army and had the life I have today."
Susan was silent for a moment before she said, "It sounds like... the lives of the families that adopted you were even more tragic. Why were you the one who became a sociopath?"
"Bah! How is this considered sociopathic?" Julius rolled his eyes. "These deaths made me realize something! Weaklings are too weak and fragile in this world. Any event can take their lives. Afterward, they still had the audacity to blame these deaths on a child. Their weakness was simply shameless.
"In the beginning, I was sad and I mourned when I was regarded as a bane and became an outcast. Then, I met a person one day." Julius laughed. "It was the previous Divine Lord of the Dark Night Agency! After a conversation with him, I was suddenly enlightened. It was utterly unnecessary for me to feel sad for these people. Most importantly, I couldn’t let myself be slandered anymore. Since they were calling me a bane and accusing me of killing those people, I couldn’t just let them accuse me for no reason!"
As Julius was speaking, he was beaming with joy. "That was how I made the decision to take the initiative to take away the lives of those weaklings straightforwardly! This way, they wouldn't be wrongly accusing me.”
Susan said, "So this is the reason you wish to destroy the world?" 'What do you mean? I'm doing this to help resurrect the world." A bloodthirsty glint flashed past Julius' eyes. "Those weak people don't deserve to live at all. On the other hand, I will choose the real elites who deserve to stay alive with me."
As he was speaking, he took a glance at Julian and Susan. "Frankly, my new medication is one step short of success. When I manage to escape, I'm going to develop it soon. I think both of you deserve to live. If you agree to join us, I shall bring you along and create a brand new world. What do you think of that?"
Julius spoke with excitement.
A man like Julius was simply a madman.
