"Grappa, this is the first time you've come to me on your own initiative."

The man in the grey suit sitting at the main seat had a hint of interest in his eyes. He looked at the man half-kneeling in front of him, restraining his murderous aura and appearing quite docile. He suddenly said, "Raise your head."

Noel raised his head, his calm gray-green eyes were like glass balls without any ripples of emotion, and the bandages wrapped around his body made him look like a shabby puppet, no different from the servants around him.

However, will the unconscious puppet keep sending messages hoping to see him?

The boss, who knew the side effects of Silvani's experiment, stood up with interest, walked to the other party, looked down at him, and asked, "Did you take the medicine seriously?"

He thought he would get a positive answer, but he heard the man in front of him say calmly: "Throw it away."

At that moment, the boss's usually calm expression showed a slight crack. His tone was filled with undisguised surprise and anger, and he laughed angrily:

"Do you know what you are doing?"

A weapon, what is it doing? Rebelling against its master? Throwing away the medicine?!

Nors was not surprised by the other party's anger. She was a little surprised that he didn't order her to be killed right away. However, it seemed that she was too shocked and angry to react. This gave her a chance to explain herself. So she spoke in a calm tone:

"I'm rebelling against Silvani."

The first sentence should highlight the key points and quickly attract the boss's attention, and then the second sentence should explain the reasons.

"In the new hypnotic instructions, there are two loyal objects."

As the words fell, the boss's face instantly darkened, and the substantial anger in his black eyes seemed to be suddenly frozen by ice and pulled into darkness. He was the boss of the organization, a ruler who had sat in the position of boss for decades. He was dangerous enough and suspicious enough.

The atmosphere fell into a strange silence. Noel could not see what was on the face of the boss who had his back turned. He continued to remain calm, waiting for the other party's response.

“You are rebelling against orders.”

Finally, the boss asked.

This question was not beyond Noel's expectation. He half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head, showing his neck in submission, and said slowly:

"I am loyal only to you, Boss."

Hearing this, the boss turned around and carefully looked at the man who had always been used as a weapon by him.

Compared to Silvani's rebellious intentions that he had already vaguely sensed, Grappa's performance at this time made a person with a strong desire for control feel even more uncomfortable. A researcher who was secretly doing small things was certainly infuriating but more expected. However, a weapon that he thought was trustworthy suddenly had ideas of his own. This uncontrollable existence made him even more uneasy. Even when he thought that the other party was right in front of him and had the ability to kill him, murderous intent had already appeared in the boss's eyes.

"You have always been self-aware" This question is full of calm and suppressed anger.

If there is no self-awareness, how can one judge the content of the hypnotic instructions and resist? When he thought that he was being played around by a puppet...the man had already thought of putting him in a laboratory.

Noel nodded, and after hearing the other party snort, he asked again:

“You’ve always known about hypnosis”

Noel nodded again. This reaction made the BOSS extremely dissatisfied. The other party's overly calm attitude made it seem as if he was still a weapon that only followed orders. However, when he thought that the other party had actually been pretending to be the BOSS, he lost his appetite even for dinner.

But he changed his mind and realized that his yard today was full of his trusted confidants who obeyed his orders and could arrest Grappa at any time and let him deal with him at will. He calmed down and even asked Grappa, who suddenly said this, with some curiosity. After all, if the other party didn't say it today, he wouldn't have noticed it for a while, and even if he wanted to assassinate him, he might succeed. But why did he suddenly reveal everything now? Was he looking for death?

So he asked:

"What do you want to say?"

You have been treated as a weapon and hypnotized, but now it is made clear. What do you want to say?

"What do I need to say, Boss?"

Once again, an answer that was beyond my expectations.

The man in the gray suit looked carefully into the other person's eyes for the first time, but he could only see a little confusion in them, as if he was asked an incomprehensible question. He had no idea what the answer was and could only ask for help from the person who asked the question. There was some expectation in his gray-green eyes.

"What is your purpose?"

The boss asked impatiently. He was angry when he thought that the other party had been hiding the truth from him. However, his question seemed to give the other party an idea for solving the problem. He said:

"Boss, I am loyal to you."

"Do you think I will believe you?" The angry boss turned back to Noel and grabbed his neck. He slowly applied force and asked again, "What is your purpose?"

Under normal circumstances, the boss of an organization would not be so impulsive. After confirming that the opponent has self-awareness, he may seem angry, but he has already created a sufficient distance between them. The moment the opponent behaves abnormally, he can have countless guards outside the door rush up and subdue the opponent instantly.

However, a moment of anger made him decide to deal with the opponent himself. He bent down and pinched the rather slender neck through the bandage, looking at the opponent's body twitching in pain, his gray-green pupils suddenly shrank and then dissipated a little. The BOSS slowly straightened up and the opponent could only be forced to follow the opponent's arm and half stand up, stuck in an uncomfortable posture with bent knees and head raised.

However, even so, the other party was cooperating. He could not answer, but he did not resist at all. He lowered his hands as if he was a captive animal who had given up resistance from the beginning and quietly waited for his fate.

This one-sided injury lasted for more than ten seconds. The man in the gray suit loosened his hand. The sudden release of the clamp and the sudden influx of breath made Noel cough violently as soon as he was exhausted. He then quickly suppressed his disordered breathing and continued to maintain a half-kneeling posture. During this time, he did not forget to scan the boss's expression, and then lowered his head and remained silent.

As the boss of the Black Organization, the man in the gray suit is feeling very complicated.

Just now he discovered that the weapon he had always thought was loyal and trustworthy and could obey orders was not only not hypnotized, but was also suspected of having been hiding it from him and making a fool of him. However, now, he felt that he seemed to have overthought.

Grappa is the organization's most loyal weapon... This statement may be true even without hypnosis.

He looked at the other person's silence, and the anger in his heart gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of doubt, followed by a rare curiosity.

Thinking of what the other party said, being loyal to oneself? So because of this, even if he is hypnotized and treated as an unconscious weapon, he can accept it? Such morbid loyalty is impossible for a man in a high position to understand, but he will not deny its existence. He knows Grappa's life experience, and Bermode picked up things from the poor kiln and suffered a lot of torture. Under such circumstances, it is possible for the other party to form a cognitive concept that is difficult to understand.

The boss was silent for a while, then asked:

"Why didn't you tell me you were still conscious?"

"Boss, you didn't ask, and this is not important."

Noel's answer made the boss speechless. Whether or not someone has self-awareness is important to others, but to Grappa... it seems to make sense. The man, who felt that he had grasped Grappa's train of thought, was silent for a moment and continued to ask:

"Why didn't you contact me immediately after you found out there was a problem with the hypnosis, but instead threw away the drugs? Is it because it's not important?" This time the question was asked with a hint of coldness, and the pronunciation of "not important" was emphasized with a hint of sarcasm. Although he had already understood Grappa's "true character" a little, he still had doubts about this seemingly absolute loyalty.

"Boss, you've been very busy lately." Noel said tactfully, "I can't come here to report without permission."

"When did you throw away the medicine and realize something was wrong?" The boss immediately noticed the wrong time. After all, it had been a while since Silvani's last experiment, and Grappa had been by his side at one point.

"Last week," he actually didn't eat at first, but lying was too easy for Noel now. "Last week my brain hurt a lot, but my memory became clearer, and then I found a problem with the instructions, so I applied to come and see you."

So hypnosis still has an effect, but occasionally he will wake up and have self-awareness, so the control method can still be used... Boss immediately grasped the key point. If it is true, then Grappa wanted to contact him immediately after discovering the problem with Silvani? He was not surprised why Grappa did not call or text him directly. After all, there is a risk of leakage. Boss does not trust modern technology that much.

If that's the case, then what should I do with Grappa...

"I thought you would hate me?" The man decided to test it out and asked directly. Then his pair of black eyes observed the other's expression, not missing any tiny change.

"I am loyal to you, Boss."

This sentence came out of Noel's mouth for the third time, as if it was the truth without any room for doubt. As the answer to these questions, it was so suitable that the boss, who always had an overwhelming desire for control, felt a sense of pleasure. After discovering that the loyalty of this guy to him was indeed morbid and firm, he chuckled twice and said, "You did a great job, Grappa."

"I won't pursue your secret this time," he seemed to have thought of something, and said magnanimously, "Don't worry about Silvani. I won't let you have any contact with him during this period of time."

"And, starting today, you can come to my place anytime."

As if all of a sudden, he gave all his trust to the person in front of him. He even reached out and patted Noel on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "Grappa, don't let me down."

At present, Rum keeps getting into trouble, and Bourbon, who is about to be promoted, is still an outsider who needs to be guarded against. It is very convenient to have a short-lived existence like Grappa who can accept being hypnotized and killed and remains loyal. Of course, some insurance measures are still needed.

I can also give Gin a little beating... Thinking of this, the boss's eyes became more satisfied, and he looked at Grappa with a friendly look, as if he was not the same person as before, who didn't treat him as a human being and wanted to throw him into the laboratory or strangle him to death...

Noel quietly analyzed every word of the other party in his heart. He did gain some trust temporarily, but there was definitely a price to pay. Silvani only said something like "don't contact him for the time being", which meant that he could be thrown over at any time. Being able to come and go freely was the biggest gain this time, but what he wanted was much more than that.

A ripple flashed across his gray-green eyes. After the other party finished talking about a series of "rewards", the man in black clothes and bandages slowly spoke:

"Boss, there is one more thing..."
