Chapter 290 - The Old Man's Confession

"Your perception is quite sharp! However, I still want to know, what is your relationship with those aliens called the Precursors?"

As soon as Li Yue appeared, the older man seemed to sense his presence, instantly turning around with a shocked expression. On the other hand, Li Yue spoke calmly, looking at the astonished older man.

"Who are you? How did you suddenly teleport here from the T-Rex area?"

Ignoring Li Yue's question, the older man demanded loudly, his voice filled with fear.

"Hehe, you don't need to know that. I assume you are John Hammond, the one who funded the construction of this Jurassic Park. But I'd really like to know why you're connected with aliens. Can you clear up my doubts?"

Li Yue slowly walked towards the older man, his voice calm but carrying a powerful sense of pressure.

"Stop! Don't come any closer, or I'll shoot!"

The older man, terrified of the mysterious Li Yue, pulled out a silver pistol and pointed it at him, shouting.

"Okay, I'll stop. But put down the gun first. Now, can you tell me why you are in contact with aliens? What do they want you to do? And how did you make those T-Rexes go berserk?"

Pretending to be scared, Li Yue halted but continued questioning the older man.

"Haha, since you're so curious, I'll tell you everything. Consider it a final revelation before you die."

Feeling in control with the gun, the older man adopted a smug demeanour, like a typical verbose villain, and began to recount his story.

"Yes, I am indeed John Hammond, the financier behind Jurassic Park. Ten years ago, I discovered that amber and extracted a bit of dinosaur blood from a mosquito trapped within. That moment sparked a wild idea in my mind: to resurrect dinosaurs and create a park where people could visit them. This venture would bring me immense wealth and fame. However, extracting a complete dinosaur genome from that ancient blood was impossible."

The older man's face showed a hint of nostalgia as he continued.

...

"You can't imagine my despair, feeling like I'd fallen from heaven to hell. I even considered ending my life. But fate seemed to play a joke on me. A few years later, the monsters appeared! Seeing these creatures, even larger than dinosaurs, gave me new purpose."

"So, I decided to build a monster park. I spent a fortune buying a live monster brain from the black market, hoping to clone a complete monster from it. Sadly, my plan failed again. But through my research, I discovered that these giant monsters were also clones. Desperate, I conceived a crazy idea to acquire the advanced biological technology of those aliens."

"Implementing this plan, I connected my brain with the monster brain through neural linking. I got everything I wanted: the aliens' advanced biotechnology, which helped me successfully revive the dinosaurs and build Jurassic Park."

"Unfortunately, the monster brain died after our neural link. Despite the enormous benefits I gained, I wasn't satisfied, knowing the aliens' power. So, using the monster brain you brought, I linked with the aliens again, obtaining what I wanted."

"I don't just want a Jurassic Park; I want a monster park too! And not confined to an island—I want the whole Earth to be a monster playground, controlled by me. Like the aliens controlling monsters to destroy Earth, I will control countless monsters and conquer the planet."

...

"Now you know my entire plan, you can die with understanding."

After nearly ten minutes of narration, the older man seemed to conclude, looking at Li Yue with a sinister smile.

"So that's your plan. But do you really think a small pistol can threaten me?"

Li Yue remained calm, unsure if the older man had revealed everything, but found him another lunatic driven by his crazy plans.

"Haha, I know this gun can't harm you, which is why I was stalling for time."

To Li Yue's surprise, the older man laughed without fear, admitting he was delaying. Suddenly, several fast-moving shadows darted towards Li Yue from all directions—it was a pack of velociraptors.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the velociraptors charged, the older man fired several shots at Li Yue and dashed out of the room with surprising agility.

...

"Such trouble."

Ignoring the bullets, which couldn't harm him, Li Yue sighed, looking at the approaching dinosaurs. The older man's scheme might have worked on someone else, but it was insufficient to stop him. Without even glancing at the velociraptors, Li Yue vanished.

In less than two seconds, Li Yue reappeared in front of the fleeing older man, who had already covered nearly ten meters outside the room. "In the face of absolute power, your plans are just a joke."

Li Yue's eyes turned red without hesitation and beams shot out, piercing the older man's heart.

"Cough... Even if... I die... the monsters... I created... will complete... my... plan..."

Surprisingly, with his heart pierced, the older man managed to utter a few final words.

"Heh, no matter what happens next, you won't be around to see it."

Li Yue remarked, somewhat amused by the older man's last words, a common trope among villains.

Meanwhile, all over the island, dinosaurs of all temperaments suddenly went berserk, stampeding in one direction.
