Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Throne
The moment those words reached Tammy’s ears, her face instantly turned deathly pale.The anger that had filled her eyes only moments ago was now mixed with unmistakable fear. She slowly turned around.
"You... you wouldn’t dare."
Nanami simply laughed. "There are very few things in this universe that I wouldn’t dare to do."
His calm confidence completely shattered Tammy’s composure. She collapsed onto the cold stone floor with a dull thud.
A look of utter defeat covered her face. She had nowhere left to go. She couldn’t attack Earth anymore.
The promise itself prevented her from harming it. Yet she also couldn’t report everything to Princess Rayami.
It was only a matter of time before Rayami discovered that Tammy had concealed the truth. If she reported now, she would die.
If she delayed, she would still die. No matter which path she chose, only death awaited her. She was completely trapped.
After taking several shaky breaths, Tammy slowly lifted her head. She stared silently at Nanami for a long time. Finally, she asked in a voice filled with confusion,
"I genuinely can’t understand you. Why are you helping that girl? Is she some kind of important figure? What exactly are you planning, Nanami?"
She clenched both fists. "With this single move, you’ve practically destroyed the future of the superior beings. And instead you’ve placed that future into the hands of a hybrid. Is that really what you wanted?"
Nanami quietly chuckled. "As long as no one interferes with my research, I’ll support them until the very end."
Tammy suddenly burst into mocking laughter. "Your research? What if that girl changes her mind at the very last moment? What if she betrays you?"
Nanami remained silent for several seconds. Then, a mysterious smile slowly appeared across his face. "Well, I suppose that’s something I’ll simply have to wait and see."
His gaze became sharp once again. "But until then... I want you to keep your mouth shut. Pretend you don’t know anything."
Tammy lowered her head. After remaining silent for a long while, she finally spoke through clenched teeth.
"Fine. I’ll listen to you. But remember this. The day the truth finally comes out, I won’t shoulder all the blame alone."
She slowly raised her head. "I’ll tell everyone that you manipulated me. That you were the one who influenced every decision I made."
Nanami merely smiled. "So that’s the excuse you’ve already prepared. But remember this. If I get punished, you won’t escape either."
His meaning couldn’t have been any clearer. If Tammy truly tried to shift all the blame onto him...then he would expose every secret she had desperately tried to hide.
Tammy’s body trembled with rage. "You’ve gone too far!"
She practically screamed. Nanami calmly shrugged. "You started this first."
Just as the atmosphere reached its breaking point, slow applause echoed through the room. Both Tammy and Nanami immediately turned toward the entrance.
