Chapter 12: Stab me (Emiliano’s POV)
I am aware Claus is a liability.
Frankly, he’s useless—dangerously negligent, and an idiot at best.
A disabled chihuahua of a man.
I only keep him around for one simple reason: he’s the easiest route to Luther.
So the logical question follows: why do I still keep him alive even now, when Luther is already here, and Claus is doing nothing but irritating me?
Why, when the last man I killed only had the misfortune of breathing too minty?
Simple.
I’m a businessman.
Yes, I’m a brilliant surgeon, a pioneering researcher, even a scientist on my better days—but those are the marks of an employee. A subordinate.
And I was not born to kneel.
The moment I let another living being command me will be the moment I end my own existence.
So as a businessman, I maintain appearances.
