{Chapter: 226 The Hammer That Cannot Be Pulled Out}
On a Desert Highway in New Mexico
A black luxury car sped along the desolate New Mexico highway, its engine humming with power as it cut through the dry desert wind. Behind the wheel sat William—though his features were altered, unrecognizable to most. In the back seat, arms crossed and eyes sharp, was Pepper. Her appearance had also been modified, likely through high-level disguise tech or even cosmetic means, making her nearly impossible to identify at first glance.
"Why did you bring me out here?" Pepper asked, her tone flat but with an edge of distrust.
William kept his eyes on the road and smiled shamelessly. "I thought you might be feeling lonely back there. I'm just that considerate—such a warm, thoughtful man."
Pepper scoffed. "You? Warm? You're the worst kind of scum humanity has ever produced. You have all this power, and instead of doing something good with it, you use it to hurt and manipulate people. You could be helping others, making the world a better place... But instead, you choose to do this."
William glanced at her in the rearview mirror, his smile fading into a look of mild contempt. "Helping others? What a noble cliché. What does that even mean anymore? Saving the weak? Upholding justice? Please. That idealistic nonsense is for people still living in a fantasy. The world isn't built on kindness—it's built on power. You either wield it or you're crushed beneath it."
