I'm the Villainess in the Apocalypse-Chapter 555. Why?

Dylan looked at Derek and Alicia’s action before turning to look at Anna, who was also watching these two.

Sensing Dylan’s gaze, Anna showed a bright smile.

"Let’s go and talk about the application."

Dylan smiled back. "Yes."

They left as the researchers were busy with the device. It was estimated that once everything was done, there would be a grand announcement and also the testing place where they could test their ability.

In this way, everyone would have a better and more accurate judgement about their own strength.

The four of them spent the next few hours happily.

Only Kitty felt annoyed because he could only sleep there. It would truly be better if he didn’t have to stay in this place. His room and his bed felt much more comfortable than this place.

...

The prison, Jake’s place

Jake felt annoyed after the interrogation. Even though it was called as an standard interrogation just for the sake of appearance or whatever, but he still ended up sleeping the night in this damp prison.

Looking at the dirty ground and the dark place, Jake felt even more irritable.

At this moment, he strongly yearned for power.

Because only if he were strong enough that these people wouldn’t treat him this way. In the past, money could be said to be power, but now money alone was simply not enough and Jake knew that very well.

What he needed was to get his ability stronger.

Much stronger than before.

Because only in this way would it be possible for him to face those big mutated animals out there and also to ensure his own safety.

Without enough strength, no one would treat him seriously nor care for him.

Jake’s eyes were filled with hatred and resentment.

Now that the Davis Family was gone, would it be possible for him to get stronger quickly? He hoped that he could, but he didn’t know what he should do.

Ask for help?

Many of his friends were nothing more than plastic friends. They were only there when something fun happened and would leave when things turned for the worse. If there was nothing fun, they would never stay.

Jake also didn’t care too much about them.

Each took what they needed.

There was no other requirement for them to get along.

But it was also because of this that Jake found it difficult if he wanted to ask for help. These so called friends were unreliable and Jake would never try to rely on them either. It would be better to rely on others rather than these people.

As he thought, a name floated in his mind.

Anna Magnolia Williams.

It has been a while since he saw her and after being coaxed by Betty, Jake hadn’t thought too much about Anna anymore. And when these big mutated animals attacked Sunshine Base back then, he came with the others to City A Base in order to take refuge and also to build his own power.

It was just that many things were not like what he expected it to be.

There were too many unwanted things.

This made Jake felt annoyed.

After that, he set his goal to become stronger and fought against those big mutated animals out there. While risking his life, he was able to get more resources from the Davis Family.

So what if he exchanged his freedom?

It was not like he could do anything on his own and be stubborn.

Some people would never bow down until their death, but Jake felt that it would be better for him to take any chance that was presented to him so that he could become stronger and stronger.

Only when he is strong could he control his fate.

But reality played a big joke on him.

The so called big tree that he bet his life on ended up falling so easily after an internal infighting. This made Jake truly wanted to rush forward and asked those people from the Davis Family whether they were serious or not.

They have been on the high position for a long time and then they suddenly fell?

Who are you kidding?

Jake felt rather desperate and wished that he could just turn to other families who were stronger and still standing, but it was not that easy.

With this past relationship, would they still accept him.

Moreover, he was only rank 3.

It was quite powerful to a certain degree but at the same time, it was not.

Because there were many other awakened in City A Base at this rank and among them, Jake was by no means powerful. His record for defeating those big mutated animals were also not high.

The small amount of resources he obtained could only be used to increase his own rank to a certain degree.

It was far from the others who were able to accumulate a lot.

Not to mention...

The gap between rank 3 and 4 was so big.

Just like the big mutated animals rank 3 to rank 4 had such a big gap, the research institute also made it that way for humans.

It looked like a big leap.

And from rank 4 to rank 5 was also quite a considerable distance.

Looking at the high requirement, it was obvious that not many people in the world would be able to reach those ranks in a short period of time. Even if they could, there would be many big mutated animals out there who would also get stronger and outrank them.

It was frustrating.

But they could only try their best.

"You can get out now." The guards looked at Jake, who was sitting on the bed. "The charges are cleaned, but your family has been fined."

"Fined? Why?" Jake was stunned.

"The Davis Family cause a lot of destruction and after deducting the amount from those who participated directly and passed away, the rest of the debt had to be covered from the rest of the members."
