"Cindy. My name is Cindy."
The tall woman said.
Alex nodded, "All right, Cindy."
"Here's the situation."
"I wasn't planning on having you follow me. Some friends just asked me to do this."
"But if it's you, I can consider it."
"So, how do you want me to prove my worth?"
Cindy's eyes were filled with a wild look, "It's simple. As long as I can't kill you."
"If I can kill you easily, then it proves you aren't worth following, doesn't it?"
Alex laughed, "That actually makes sense."
"Fine. I'll stand right here. Go ahead and try to kill me."
"But there's one condition. If you can't kill me, then simply following me won't be enough."
"I want your body and soul."
"I want everything you have."
"If I tell you to die, then you'll die."
"If you can do that, then I'll accept your challenge."
"If you can't, but still try to challenge me..."
"He'll be your example."
Alex pointed at the bearded man.
Cindy looked at Alex, "Body and soul?"
"No problem."
"As long as you're stronger than me, all of me is yours. You can use me for anything."
"I mean anything."
Alex nodded, "Come on."
Cindy stepped forward, raised one hand, and suddenly clenched it toward Alex.
Alex's hair fluttered.
Cindy's eyes widened, "That's impossible."
In the TV series, this woman could crush people's bodies with a squeeze of her hand. She was also bulletproof, making her one of the stronger superhumans.
She knew exactly how powerful she was, but she hadn't expected that using all her strength would do nothing more than make the man called John ruffle his hair.
"Is that all?"
"Or do you have something else you haven't used yet?"
"Come on. Show me."
Alex smiled.
Cindy twisted her neck, then stretched out both hands toward Alex. She shouted and clenched both fists at the same time.
This time, not even Alex's hair moved.
Cindy took several steps back. She looked at her hands, then suddenly turned toward a guard and squeezed with one hand.
The guard's head exploded like an egg being crushed, spraying blood and pulp everywhere.
"My power is still there."
"So that means..."
Cindy looked at Alex, took a deep breath, then walked over and knelt on one knee before him.
"Master, I'm willing to follow you until the end of time."
Alex nodded in satisfaction, made a gesture, then smiled at the other patients.
"I'm leaving now. I'll be waiting outside. Once I'm gone, you can begin."
"I hope it won't be too ugly."
After saying that, he left the hospital lobby with Cindy.
As soon as Alex walked out of the lobby, he released the guards and nurses from his control and shouted inside, "You can start now."
A fat man immediately let out a roar and charged into a guard, smashing him apart.
After that, some of the superhumans spat acid, some used telekinesis, while others attacked with mutated body parts.
Blood continuously splattered across the doors of the psychiatric hospital.
In the lobby, which had become like a slaughterhouse, Lamplighter took out his lighter and shouted, "Don't come any closer!"
"I don't want to kill you."
"Don't force me."
One of the "patients" crawled across the ceiling like a lizard, preparing to jump down for a sneak attack.
Unfortunately, Lamplighter spotted him. He immediately raised his hand and unleashed a wave of fire. The blazing flames set the patient ablaze, leaving him rolling across the floor before he quickly stopped moving.
Lamplighter then sprayed flames in every direction, creating a wall of fire to hold back the other superhumans before rushing out of the lobby onto the lawn outside the hospital.
Alex applauded, "Congratulations. You can leave now, or you can stay."
Lamplighter looked at the psychiatric hospital, which had become like hell, then looked at Alex.
In the end, he turned and ran.
Alex didn't stop him and simply let him leave.
Inside the car, Corwin and the others watched the slaughterhouse-like scene through the hospital's surveillance cameras.
Quite a few people ran out of the car and vomited.
Even Kenji looked pale.
Corwin's face was deathly white as he looked at Kenji, "You'll come out with me in a moment."
Kenji nodded.
The killing finally came to an end.
Apart from Lamplighter, not a single member of the hospital staff escaped alive. Blood, corpses, and severed limbs were scattered throughout the psychiatric hospital.
None of the "patients" had come here willingly. They had been forcibly brought here and treated like less than human while being injected with Compound V. One of the women had suffered even worse, receiving "special treatment" from the guards.
Now that they had the chance for revenge, every one of them killed with bloodshot eyes.
Alex sat on the grass with nothing to do, while Cindy stood beside him, acting as his bodyguard.
At that moment, the lobby doors opened, and the "patients" began walking out one after another.
Most of them were covered in blood, their eyes fierce like wolves in the wild.
But when they saw Alex and Cindy, they all lowered their heads.
Because they knew that if they were wolves, then Cindy was a lion, a tiger.
And Alex... was a tyrannosaurus.
Watching the patients come out, Alex whistled, brushed off his pants as he stood up, and said to Cindy, "There's nothing left for us to do."
He led Cindy toward the Shining Light Liberation Army's vehicle.
Corwin and Kenji got out of the car. The former looked at Alex with awe.
Alex smiled, "They're yours now."
As for whether Corwin could persuade those patients to join the Shining Light Liberation Army, Alex didn't care.
He got into the car with Cindy, then leaned closer to her and sniffed.
"Hmm! You need a bath."

Inside a luxuriously furnished bedroom, Wilson let out a long breath. Satisfied, he picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.
Stormfront crawled over from behind, wrapped her arms around him, and said, "What is it, Mr. Secretary? Are you already done?"
Wilson shook his head, "I did my best. I'm not like you people. I don't have that kind of stamina."
"Really?"
"I don't believe you."
Stormfront chuckled.
Just then, her phone rang. Reluctantly, she picked it up, "Hello? What is it?"
Lamplighter's voice came from the other end, ["This is bad, Ma'am."]
["Homelander..."]
["Homelander just showed up. He let all the patients go."]
"What?"
Stormfront jumped to her feet.
Wilson was startled and turned around, "What happened?"
Stormfront put down the phone and looked at the former Secretary of Defense with a grave expression, "Sage Grove."
"Homelander just went to Sage Grove and released all the patients."
"Mr. Secretary, it looks like your plan will have to be moved up."
