I Want to Die, But I Am Immortal

"...but I can’t give you any sympathy. However, I can certainly grant your wish. Ask. I will answer three questions."

Then Adam opens his mouth and says, "First question. Why are you after Sophia?"

After hearing this, Philips lowers his gun and says, "The day I first saw Sophia, I genuinely felt that she was the girl with whom I could live a normal life. I wanted to leave this underworld and this psycho personality behind. But as soon as I talked to Sophia about it..." After saying this, he places a hand on his cheek and continues,

"...I didn’t like her answer. That’s why I adopted other methods to ’fix’ Sophia, and also to put pressure on her family. But I don’t know where you came into the middle of it. I was the one who sent these people after Sophia."

After saying this, he pulls Lily’s phone from his pocket and throwing it in front of Adam, he says, "This is all my doing. I wanted to break Sophia mentally and make her dependent on me. But I don’t know how at a very wrong time, you dropped right into the middle of my plan. I thought it was no big deal, that you were just a guest for a couple of days. But when you kept surviving for many days, even with such a big bounty on your head, that’s when I felt that things were getting out of hand."

Adam had gotten his answer, and he understood many things.

Then looking towards Adam, Philips says, "You have the answer to your first question."

Philips turned his attention from Anderson back to Adam.

"My second question," Adam said his voice calm and steady. "How many big families are there in the world and especially in our country and this city?"

Philips was surprised by the question. He was silent for a few seconds then he laughed.
