Chapter 574
I stretched and turned over. Nestling in Steven's arms, I drifted back to sleep. He gently patted my back." Did you have a nightmare?"
"No, I had a wonderful dream," I whispered.
The dream was beautiful but even more painful than a nightmare. I didn't know if we could experience such a peaceful moment in our lives.
"Sleep a little longer." As I was about to go back to sleep, a group of people abruptly entered the room. "Today is the public execution. Everyone is welcome. Have fun!"Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
The riots outside persisted. Class conflicts were instigated between the poor and the rich. People who could not afford food and those who could afford it began to fight and physically attack each other. Many people were seriously injured or trampled to death.
We were escorted out of the medical capsule and led to the central stage of the VIP banquet hall. It was there that the safe was placed. Everyone in the banquet hall had gathered, eagerly waiting to find out who the true president of Crowdstar Group was.
At this moment, everyone fell silent and looked upward.
"Will you let us go if one of these people we sent is the president of Crowdstar Group?" asked Maverick and the others loudly.
The masked woman looked over with an enigmatic smile. "Of course."
She could release them, but she didn't have to guarantee their survival. I frowned, finding Maverick quite pathetic. It was true, as he had stated, that he was simply driven by the desire to stay alive.
"The game is nearing its end. Once we find the president of Crowdstar Group, I assure you, everyone will be able to return to shore," said the masked woman with a chilling smile.
She raised her hand, and the person next to me was brought over. His hands and head were pressed down for palm print and iris comparison.
"Error, error," the alarm of the safe blared.
The first man was not the president. The masked woman aimed at the man and fired without hesitation. At that moment, she was too indifferent. There was no hint of respect for life in her eyes as she effortlessly ended a man's life.
"Mr. President of Crowdstar Group, remember that these people died because of you. If you keep hiding and refuse to come out, more lives will be lost," said the masked woman with a smile, her eyes locked on Steven.
However, she refused to let Steven try first and insisted on pointing to the next person. She behaved like a terrifying demon, capable of effortlessly ending someone's life.
At the sight of the first person's lifeless body, the second person trembled and collapsed to the ground, pleading, "Please spare my life. Please... I'm not the president..."
However, he was still taken for the test.
"Error." It was clear he was not the president. The masked woman fired another shot, and the man fell to the ground.
Everyone there was tense as they watched. People's lives were at stake. Those were all living human
beings. I glared at her, feeling angry. She was so cold-blooded and without emotion, and she hated me. I wondered if she was also an experimental subject.
Then, I glanced at Una, who remained indifferent to everything. Only an experimental subject could be so heartless.
"I'll do it!" Steven said seriously and took the initiative to step forward.
I gazed at Steven nervously. Could it be that after dedicating himself for so many years, he was going to end up being discovered?
