Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Get Down, Sniper!

"So you see, Victor," Lillian said with a grin, "you were just making moves that had already been predicted."

Victor slumped àthe chair, looking completely defeated. Based on the tech he was used to, OmniTech’s might as well be supernatural interference.

Because what the hell kind of like tech allowed you to transform into someone else?

His shoulders suddenly started trembling, and it was not from anger.

A few minutes later, he was.... laughing?

It started as a low chuckle before it became a full blown maniacal laughter.

The collector was right, he was an idiot. He had been too prideful and had completely believed he controlled the game, only to turn out that he wasn’t even an important piece in this game.

Worst part was, he just realized that the collector intended for this to happen, he knew that Victor’s plan would blow up in his face, he just wanted to see how bad it would.

Victor knew that if the collector wanted, he’d have helped or even tried saving him, but no, Victor had served his purpose.

The collector now knew exactly how far OmniTech was willing to go for his COO. He now knew exactly how resourceful OmniTech was.

Victor’s laughter went on for a long while, his voice echoing within the place where he had brought ’Lillian’.

"This isn’t technology," he finally said, his laughter dying down, "this is sorcery."

"Nah," Zero said with a grin on his face, "just better engineering."

Victor paused and raised his head to meet Lillian’s eyes on the other end of the screen before he asked, "what happens to me now?"

Lillian was silent for a while as if deciding his fate, before she said, "that’s not up to me."

A moment after her words, the screen glitched again and switched back to OmniTech’s avatar.

{Now, that was a fun game, wasn’t it?} The avatar asked with a smile on its face.

The previous frown was all a play to let Victor believe he had truly won. OmniTech allowed Victor to fully indulge in his illusion of a victory, before it was all snuffed away.

"You’re enjoying this aren’t you?" Victor asked, his voice low as he asked.

{Oh, fully,} the avatar responded, {though, I am curious.}

There was a brief pause before the avatar added, {Where is your benefactor? Shouldn’t he have saved you by now?}

Victor gritted his teeth but said nothing, causing the avatar to chuckle.

{Don’t tell me,} the avatar said, {have you been abandoned?}

"...."

The silence was answer enough. Victor Langley had been abandoned by whoever was sponsoring him behind the scenes and he was now just a powerless old man.

"What happens to me now?" Victor repeated his question.

{Well, there’re a couple of options,} the avatar said, {I could make sure you’re locked up again, this time, without a chance of ever being released.}

{But I’m sure your benefactor has claws in unimaginable places and you’d be back out the very next day.}

{So I decided to just wipe you off the board,} the avatar’s expression turned completely cold, {permanently.}

Victor didn’t seem surprised by his words or even the least bit shaken. From the moment he realized that his plans had been foiled and he was now in the enemy’s hand, he had been prepared for death.

But the avatar’s words caught his attention as he asked, "again?"

{Hmm?} The avatar tilted its head in question.

"You said you could make sure I’m locked up again," Victor looked at him with a dark expression, "what do you mean by that?"

{Oh, right,} the avatar said, {you’d like to know wouldn’t you?}

"Were you involved in my son’s death?" Victor asked in an even darker tone, for a man captured, his aura couldn’t be denied.

Though, it was useless for all those currently present around him.

{Involved?} it repeated thoughtfully, there was an obvious smile on its face {that’s... one way to put it.}

Victor’s jaw clenched.

{You see, Mr. Langley,} the avatar continued casually, {your son and I go a long way back, even before the current him could remember and let’s just say, there’s bad blood between us.}

{And as for You being locked up,} the avatar continued, {let’s just say that was all your doing, after all, the actions were yours, all I did was shine a little light on it.}
