Then the soldiers brought Kuze inside the room.Lorya looked at him coldly and said, "Kuze, I am giving you your last chance to stay alive. You have to tell me everything about Zaid's plans."Kuze shouted, "I don't know anything about Zaid's plans! Believe me!
If I had known, I would have already killed him with my own hands!"
His voice echoed through the chamber — it was half rage, half despair, like a roaring lion forced into a cage.Chucky stepped forward into the cabinet and said harshly, "Stop trying to fool us, Kuze.
I know you are lying."Kuze glared at him. "Why would I lie to you? If I knew Zaid's plans, I swear I would have killed him myself!"Lorya's patience snapped. "What do you mean?" she yelled, and suddenly punched Kuze hard in the mouth.
Two of his teeth broke and blood flowed down his chin.She slammed her hand on the table and screamed, "Explain what you mean! If you knew Zaid's plans, you'd kill him — your best friend — with your own hands? Explain that right now!"She leaned closer, eyes blazing.
"And listen carefully, Kuze — if Zaid sends his alien troops to save you after last night's war, I'll cut off your head from your body when they arrive!"Kuze wiped the blood from his lips and said shakily, "Zaid's father, Draxel, created the serum that everyone knows as Spoke Serum.
But what you don't know is that it was also used to erase the memories of all civilians who knew the truth.My grandfather, Pexco, was working with Draxel to make the Spoke Serum too.When Zaid's father discovered that the government was using the serum as a weapon to fight other countries, he destroyed the original serum formula.
But one member secretly kept a copy and sold it to the government. They began injecting it into human bodies — those people were thrown out from the Upper Door, and they became mad aliens."He paused, shaking with anger.
"The government only wanted power — the power of the alien monstrous ability — so that the whole world would fear them."Lorya and Chucky stood silently as he continued.Kuze looked down and said, "When Zaid's father Draxel erased everyone's memories, my grandfather joined the Special Squad to protect humanity.
You know his name — he was the one who died in the Five-Year Battle."His voice broke, and tears rolled down his face. "If I ever get the chance to kill Zaid, I will do it myself."He looked up and added bitterly, "Zaid will not come to save me.
He knows everything. He knows why I always stayed beside him… and why I still do."Lorya studied him for a long moment, then said quietly, "Fine. You may go.
If you learn anything more about Zaid or his plans, report it to me immediately."Chucky looked furious. "What are you saying, Captain? If you let him live, he might betray us later! If he joins Zaid's side again, we will all be doomed."Lorya turned to him sharply and said, "I have a plan."
Her eyes glimmered with determination as she added, "Tonight we march to Zaid's cave. We'll end this war. And we'll take his alien monstrous power for ourselves. We will inject Kuze with the serum and make him eat Zaid's energy — that's how we will protect our people and save our country."
