Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

In the face of such a huge dark and shady organization, Sofia had to remain vigilant.

"Don't be nervous. I am only a peripheral reserve member. One has to go through stringent rules and requirements to become a formal member. Although, I have to admit that I have gained immense benefits from The Erinnyes Organization," Stuart explained.

Hearing Stuart's explanation did not make Sofia feel better. After all, it was because of The Erinnyes that she had always been representing the dark side of Blue Star, just like a shadow hiding behind a bright light. As such, a lot of horrific incidents contained marks of The Erinnyes.

Seeing that he had not eased Sofia's mind yet, Stuart went on. "There are many peripheral reserve members like me in The Erinnyes. In fact, they are almost everywhere in Blue Star. You see, The Erinnyes and I are just partners. I give them the information they need, and in turn, they give me my reward. At the same time, I can also receive tasks from the The Erinnyes platform, getting paid accordingly."

Stuart calmly added, "I can even terminate this working relationship with The Erinnyes at any time."

Sofia frowned as she listened. From what Stuart explained, it seemed that there was really nothing wrong with being a peripheral reserve member. It seemed that his being a part of The Erinnyes merely served as a platform for Stuart to obtain the resources needed for training.

It would makes sense that many took this route, as the resources that the army provided were usually not enough. Thus, many soldiers needed to obtain their resources from external sources.

"I spent tens of thousand in original gold to buy information. I hope you now know that I am not lying to you," Stuart said.

"I believe in the authenticity of your words," Sofia said with a nod.

Since the information came from The Erinnyes, it must be authentic. Though The Erinnyes was an underground, dark, and shady organization, their intelligence system was still considered as being among the top in Blue Star.

"So, now that I know your secret, do I have to join the The Erinnyes Organization, too?" asked Sofia, her face filled with gloom.

Stuart laughed and said, "There'd be no harm in your doing so."

He opened his electronic watch and sent an email to Sofia's email address, then said, "You have a day to consider it. If you refuse to work with me, our collaboration will be cancelled. But, as you know that there's no free lunch in this world, The Erinnyes will probably come knocking on your door."

"You are threatening me!" Sofia's eyes were full of anger. She was also worried that, if she rejected the collaboration, she had no idea what The Erinnyes might do to her.

Stuart, with his legs crossed and his hands spread out against the sofa, then said, "As for the F-grade serum, it belongs to you whether or not you join The Erinnyes. However, there is one important thing that I must remind you. That is, the sooner you drink the serum, the better, as the efficacy of the serum drops one point a day. After ten days, the serum will have no efficacy at all. I managed to get one bottle yesterday, and its efficacy will be decreasing as each day passes."

He then held out the afore-mentioned serum to Sofia, her eyes widening as she gazed at it. Whether she joined The Erinnyes or not, this bottle of serum belonged to her. She was determined not to waste it!

Picking up the F-grade serum, Sofia gulped it down and shouted at Stuart, "Get out of here!"

Stuart smiled. He then stood up slowly, but did not leave.

"Ha ha ha, Sofia! Do you really want me to go?" Stuart looked at Sofia and burst out laughing.

"Get out of here!" Sofia emphasized again, still feeling angry. After all, she had only one day left to consider whether to join The Erinnyes as a reserve member or pay an unknown price.

"Ha ha ha, I forgot to tell you something. I added something to the F-grade serum. Do you feel hot now, especially for men?" Stuart laughed.

Sofia's face became red, as she sensed a certain desire in her body growing stronger and stronger. She even felt some discharge pass out from her private area.

"You gave me an aphrodisiac!" Sofia screamed, feeling angrier the more she tried to suppress her sexual desires in the lower body.

Stuart grinned and said, "To add more sincerity to our collaboration, I thought it was best to make you my woman, so that you won't betray me. So, I added Midnight Rose Serum to keep you conscious. But, the sexual desire in your body will grow stronger and stronger, the more you try to suppress it!"

He continued, grinning. "At that time, your body will no longer be controlled by your consciousness. You should be very aware about my feelings for you by now. This is not entirely my fault. You have been pretending to be virtuous!"

Stuart watched Sofia's sexual desires grow stronger and stronger, a hideous smile spreading on his face. He had tried to pursue Sofia, but she had always been cold towards him. Other than this collaboration, Sofia simply had been disdainful of having any other connection with him.

Due to this, Stuart's heart was full of anger and resentment. Luckily, as a genius, he was usually good at winning a girl's heart. However, Sofia was the exception. As he could not win her heart, he had no choice but to drug her.

Sofia shouted angrily, "I will kill you!"

Swish!

She dashed straight up, holding up a little sword that she aimed straight at Stuart's chest. Stuart was mentally prepared for this to happen and dodged her immediately.

Sofia then changed her move, stabbing Stuart in his waist instead. Stuart retreated for a short distance, then touched a wound in his waist, apparently having come from Sofia's small dagger. Blood gushed out of him.

"B*tch, you want to kill me?!" Stuart was furious. "I'll see how long you can hold up against me. The longer you try to suppress your feelings, the more intense the desire will become! You should have come to me willingly. As long as you are willing to be with me, I will give you countless benefits. With your talent, you will make rapid progress!"

Sofia became after hearing Stuart's provocation. She desperately suppressed her desire and attempted to kill him. Stuart's old injuries were clearly not completely healed, as he kept choosing passive defensive tactics when faced with Sofia's aggressive attacks.

"I will kill you!" Sofia shouted.

"I want to see how long you can suppress it!" Stuart said coldly, still dodging her attacks.
