序章1：英文版 (4-3)

In front of the girl, an old man in a black military uniform sat on a chair and stared at her sternly. His gaunt, eagle-nosed face registered a total lack of interest in his surroundings as if he had seen the same or similar ones a thousand times.

The soldiers beside him aimed their guns at the girl. The tension in the air was tight, and the soldiers' weapons' silent threat added a menacing edge to the scene.

"You know why you're here, Jasmine," Matthew said, his voice calm but there was an unmistakable hint of threat behind his tone. "Tell me where your father's laboratory is; this will all be over."

Jasmine met his gaze, unflinching. "I don't know the location of the lab." Her voice was steady, but there was a hint of defiance. "Even if I did, I would not tell you."

"Matthew, this has to stop," Jasmine signed, her voice soft but urgently trembling. "What you and my father did to her... it’s tearing the world apart. The Cthuvine—it's not just a threat anymore. It's going to destroy everything—every living thing on Earth."

Bam! Matthew punched heavily on Jasmine’s belly. The force of the blow knocked her to the ground from the bench instantly.

Jasmine crumpled on the floor, her body curling in on itself from the pain. The soldiers remained impassive, their weapons still trained on her.

With Matthew's indication, a soldier walked up to the girl step by step and lifted her back to the bench.
