Transmigrated into a reversed world
Chapter 199 - 199: He won't be giving up so soon

The island became busy with activity after the recruitment notice was aired on the Nexus.

The merchants across the shore saw a surge in profits as large crowds gathered due to Desire Island's recruitment.

Discussions echoed at every corner, some wondered if it was the right decision to work on the island after what happened to the other employees.

The attack on Desire Island was no secret to the world.

As a result, fewer ordinary people applied—only the desperate fighters seeking resources to upgrade their soul beasts or awaken their dominant supernatural genes.

"Should we go back? what if we are killed like others.'' A younger woman said nervously to a chestnut-haired woman standing beside her.

"If we go back, where are we ever going to find another dream job like this? Remember what got us here in the first place. At the very least, I'll have a new master—we'll be saved from that woman," Amelia said calmly, though fear and worry gleamed in her eyes.

The younger woman glanced at her elder sister's calm expression, and her nervous heart settled down.

Camille trusted Amelia blindly; she had always been there for her, practically raising her after their father died and their mother cast them out.

If not for that aristocratic lady who grew jealous of her sister's strength, they would have been living well and wouldn't be hunted by her minions. 'I hope that woman dies a painful death.'

''Camille, don't worry if we don't secure this job... we can always move to another City.'' Amelia patted her shoulders, snapping her out of her thoughts.

Camille nodded her short chestnut hair—just like her sister's—bouncing playfully.

Amelia could only hope they could get this job; this island was secluded and caught out of the world--where they could stay with peace of mind.

''It's time!''

A voice from the crowd shouted, and everyone's eyes snapped on their bracelet, quickly checking the time. '8:00 a.m.'

Seeing the time, they hurriedly boarded a boat of their choice. Amelia grabbed Camille's hand and pushed through the crowd. After paying the fare, they found seats by the rail.

Camille's gaze darted around the boat, noticing more people like her sister.

Their sharp, murderous aura sent ordinary people backing away in fear.

While Amelia stared out into the vast ocean, her eyes closed as she breathed in the salty breeze, her mind calm of thoughts as she enjoyed the peaceful moment.

....

A sharp sound of alarm woke Zane, he tried to turn but was stopped by Cyra's firm grip on his shoulders.

''Wife...yawn..wake up.'' Zane's voice was hoarse and unclear from sleep. He tried to untangle himself from her hands, but she wouldn't budge.

"I know you are awake. It's time for the interview." Zane said in a huff, giving up his struggle.

"Mm... Morning." Cyra pressed a kiss on his forehead, a resigned sigh leaving her lips. She had woken up the moment the alarm rang but was too lazy to move.

A grimace formed on her face at the thought of entering the sun.

"You can only get it over with," Zane muttered, pulling her hair carefully out of her face.

Cyra glanced at the closed curtains and frowned. 'Wouldn't it be easier to hire everyone? I'll do the real screening at night.' Her frown eased as the plan seemed feasible.

She laid back down under Zane's confused gaze. Clicking on her bracelet, a hologram screen lit up and she called Kyle.

At that moment, Kyle was in the middle of his workout. He paused, sweat dripping down his face as he glanced at his beeping bracelet.

He rose to his feet and patted his face dry with a towel before answering the call. Cyra's lazy demeanour was fully captured by the camera.

He noticed she was still in bed, and his eyes went straight to the time. '8:30 a.m' Was she planning to run late from the interview?

"Kyle, you'll be in charge of the interview. You don't need to check their backgrounds too strictly—just hire a maximum of four hundred people, with a high ratio of fighters to regular workers," Cyra said in one breath.

Not waiting for him to say a word or react, she ended the call as quickly as it had started.

Kyle stood stunned in place; by the time he reacted, the hologram screen had already dimmed.

His body trembled with suppressed rage as he slammed his fist into the table, leaving a deep dent.

''Dammit! I want to slit her throat and make sure she choked on her blood. F*ck!'' Kyle cursed through gritted teeth.

He took in deep calm breaths before he was able to return to his neutral expression. He continued his exercise; the intensity increased as he pictured various horrible deaths he could inflict on his boss.

Back in Cyra's room, Zane gave her a pointed stare, but she ignored it and cuddled into him to continue her sleep.

''One day Kyle might just give up on his assassination plans and quit his job.'' Zane clicked his tongue but there was no atom of pity for Kyle in his gaze.

Zane was still holding a grudge against Kyle for trying to kill his wife at every opportunity.

If he hadn't noticed Cyra enjoyed this too much, he would have gotten rid of Kyle from the very beginning.

"He won't be giving up so soon," Cyra spoke confidently before falling asleep.

Zane shook his head at her words and could only wait for Kyle's decision in the long run. Killing his wife was impossible; even without her current power, it had never been easy—and now...

Zane was about to get out of bed for breakfast when he suddenly paused and lay back down.

He recalled the dead chef. "What a pity, she was quite skilled. I hope the next one is even better," he muttered before surfing through his bracelet.

He had so many things to buy, clothes for him and Cyra. His gaming pod, snacks and other things.

He went on a shopping spree, his fingers clicking on anything of his choice and hitting the purchase button.

While Zane was lost in his own world, Kyle finally stepped out of his room, looking impeccably dressed and neatly groomed.

His stern air scared people from miles away.

Louis, spotting him from a distance, quickly ducked into another hallway, patting his chest in relief after successfully avoiding Kyle.

The fight he witnessed was still fresh in his mind.
