should be happy I still have use for you and haven't used them on you. Otherwise...” The little man paused and did not elaborate

Mike could not comprehend what he was saying, and when he wanted to ask further, the man interrupted him, “Enough. Do not try
to probe. My patience has its limits! I've told you before. The only way to get your son back is to cooperate!
Once the experiment succeeds and the organization achieves its plan, | will immediately return your son to you.”
The man slowly propped himself up with one hand and looked at Mike, arms akimbo. “Mike, you should look forward to our plan’s
success more than anyone else. After all, your son will live if it does. If it fails...” He stopped, his face turning solemn as he looked

Everything below looked tiny, and the people below moved around like ants. He liked standing in high places. Only when he could
look down at people would he feel taller than them instead of the other way around.
He had been looking up at people all his life, but when his grand plan succeeded, he knew he would no longer have to do that. He
would make everyone look up to him, and people worldwide would remember his name.
His eyes glinted excitedly, and he could not wait for that day. ‘Finally, it's going to happen soon!”
At this juncture, his wristwatch vibrated. He looked down at it with a frown, then pursed his lips.
