"You big liar!" Juniper shouted hysterically and stepped forward to grab Hesper's neck. "You took everything from me! They were mine! You took away my happiness! It's all because of you!"
Hesper was choked and struggling to breathe. However, she still enunciated her words slowly, "If you kill me, you won't be able to live either."
"You dare to threaten me?" Juniper hissed, yet her grip loosened slightly.
Hesper stifled a cough and continued, "Have you ever thought about why 013 wanted to kill me and you? I don't have any weapons. For him, killing me is as easy as killing a chicken."
013 stood on the side, watching the confrontation between the two indifferently and silently.
"If you kill me, he'll kill you and make you his scapegoat."
Juniper looked toward 013 after hearing what Hesper said, but 013 did not show any inclination of explaining to her. After all, if Juniper could not do it herself, he could always take care of it and kill both her and Hesper.
As Hesper had said, killing them was as easy as killing a chicken.
"What does it matter if he's going to kill us." Juniper burst into a laughter. "Look at me. Do I look like a human to you with my face? I look like a monster! What's the point of living like this? If I could bring you down to hell with me, that'll be great."
Hesper gritted her teeth amid Juniper's laugh while 013 smiled in satisfaction.
"I've prepared gasoline. Since Ms. Wight is so cooperative, we can complete the final stage together."
After 013 finished speaking, he pushed Hesper even closer to Juniper and warned them, "Don't try anything stupid. Even if you both manage to escape, I can still catch you easily. As for you, Ms. Wight, you should think carefully. If Hesper manages to escape, she still has many people to support her, but what about you? Who's going to protect you from my revenge?"
Hesper clenched her fists. After 013 finished speaking, he left, leaving Hesper and Juniper alone.
