Think about it: all kinds of high-tech creations—laser guns, protective gear, various mechas, even interstellar battleships, not to mention all sorts of bloodlines, skills, attribute enhancements, and so on. If all of this were real, then as long as he could exchange some high-tech blueprints and bring them back to the real world, his organization would have the means to stand against the C Organization, and even the X Organization. If he could further enhance himself with abilities that surpass technology and return... then utterly destroying these two organizations would no longer be just a dream!

Never before had Henry Clark felt so close to his dream. In reality, the organization he belonged to was utterly incapable of standing up to the C Organization, let alone the mysterious X Organization. Rather than calling it resistance, it would be more accurate to say they were like stray dogs, constantly on the run. And every time the C Organization found them, the result was always countless members dying or even... being transformed into something worse than death...

Henry Clark's hatred for the C Organization and X Organization ran so deep that he was even willing to sacrifice his own life to destroy them. But willpower alone cannot change reality. No matter how deep his hatred for these two organizations, it could not change the fact that he was powerless against them. Until this moment, when he finally saw a glimmer of hope for their destruction—even if that hope required him to venture into a hellish nightmare to obtain it, he still had no complaints!

That was why he made the decision above: to kidnap the male and female protagonists and keep them alive until the seventh day. He wanted to see if this approach could earn him reward points, as well as the mysterious side plot that Jenny had mentioned. In a horror movie, nothing could change the entire plot as easily as the protagonist could. This move was his attempt to see if completely altering the plot would grant him the so-called reward points and side story!

After more than ten minutes, Henry Clark had simulated his entire plan in his mind. Only then did he slowly stand up, leave his personal room, and walk into the hall. To his surprise, someone was already there: J was exercising, doing various stretches. Unfortunately, there was no equipment here, so his workout was limited to simple body stretches.

The two of them saw each other, but neither spoke. They simply exchanged a glance, then Henry Clark sat down on the nearby sofa, while J continued stretching and lightly exercising... In fact, for an ordinary person, these exercises would already be considered semi-intense, but for someone with J's bear-like physique, it probably wasn't even a proper stretch.

"You reek of blood..."

Just as Henry Clark was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, J, still exercising, suddenly spoke without turning his head.

Henry Clark naturally didn't sniff himself like an ordinary person would. As someone from the underworld, he understood exactly what J meant. The "smell of blood" referred to the fact that he had killed too many people—his movements, expressions, and demeanor were already different from ordinary people. Perhaps ordinary people couldn't sense it themselves, but those who also lived in the underworld, or were close to it, could clearly feel this difference. And this difference, translated... was the so-called "smell of blood"!

Before Henry Clark could say anything, J continued, "I'm a kingpin in the underworld, and I also handle some dirty work for a few families. There aren't a hundred people who have died by my hand, but at least eighty. Yet the smell of blood on me probably isn't even a tenth of yours... Even if you told me you came from a genocidal battlefield, I'd believe you. Among the few of us, you are the most dangerous and terrifying one."

Henry Clark smiled, rubbing his brow before saying, "Yeah, I've killed so many people I've lost count. You're right, I really am the most dangerous and terrifying one in this team."

J was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Henry Clark and said, "But we don't have any conflict of interest. In fact, if the Reincarnation World is real, then we should actually be allies, don't you think?"

Henry Clark kept smiling and nodded, "That's right, you're absolutely right."

"...People in the underworld only believe in strength. It's only natural for the weak to revere the strong."

Suddenly, J pulled a cross from his chest and kissed it, saying, "I swear by my faith, if this Reincarnation World truly exists, then as long as you can keep me alive, I will follow you, act on your orders, and never betray you... I want to live. I have reasons I must survive. So, as long as you can keep me alive, you'll have a loyal subordinate, a loyal weapon, a loyal tool..."

"A loyal partner would be even better."

Henry Clark laughed, walked over to J and examined the cross closely. Then he smiled slightly and sat back down on the sofa. Only then did he say, "I want to live too. I also have reasons I must survive. So..."

"Let's stand together."
