Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199: Victor’s Moment

Lillian’s eyes slowly opened, her head pounding from the lingering effects of the gas.

Her eyes slowly gained focus and she slowly realized where she was. There was a light overheadcasting shadows in the otherwise dark room.

The room smelt of metal and mold, almost as if it hadn’t been used in a long while...or even ever.

Her body felt heavy, stiff, and restrained. Panic rose as she looked down at her wrists and realized she was strapped to a chair.

She tried to remember how she got here. She remembered being in the elevator when she was suddenly hit with knock out gas.

She didn’t even get the chance to finish her sandwich.

"Where... am I?" she whispered, her voice hoarse.

She suddenly heard the sound of footsteps approaching from the darkness, causing her to lift her head until the person stepped into the light.

The person soon stepped into the light, revealing a head full of grey hair, wine colored suit and a cold expression on his face.

"Ah... awake at last," the man said smoothly. His voice carried the kind of calm authority that made her stomach knot, "I was beginning to worry my guest might be... uncooperative."

Lillian’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the man before him, of course she knew who he was.

Victor Langley.

"I’m sorry our first meeting had to be in such... circumstances, Miss Hayes," Victor said with a smile, "I wish the place of meet was a bit more... presentable."

She tried to steady her voice, "what do you want from me?"

"Straight to the point, I like that." Victor smiled thinly, a calculated expression, "what I want is information about your company."

"Specifically, the identity behind OmniTech," he added, "and you, my dear, are the key to extracting it."

There was a frown on Lillian’s face as she looked at him, "and you think I’ll just give you his identity?"

"Oh no no," Victor said with a chuckle, "you’re too loyal to just give away your boss’s identity just like that."

"But I have a better idea," he continued, "let’s see exactly how much he values you, your life for his identity."

"A pretty fair deal if I do say so myself, right?"

Lillian suddenly started chuckling which soon became a full blown laughter.

Victor froze, his eyes narrowing, and his carefully composed smile faltered. "Would you mind sharing what’s so funny?" he asked, his voice laced with irritation.

"You see, if you wanted to know who OmniTech’s CEO was," she started, "you should’ve come up with a more elaborate plan."

"Oh I think this is elaborate enough, Miss Hayes." Victor said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Lillian asked, "then why don’t you try contacting him."
