Standing face-to-face with Julius, the warden swallowed hard. He had no idea what Julius intended to do. The fact that Julius hadn't exposed him yet meant he still wanted something from him.
"I won't report you."
"...Yes?" Krüger blinked in disbelief.
Krüger had been preparing himself for the inevitable. He had even rehearsed what he would say, hoping Julius might spare his son as long as he complied. But Julius's words held a different meaning entirely.
Still, the uncertainty terrified him. Julius Sebastian Schneider was the son of the man destined to lead the German Republic. If this young man wasn't planning to expose him, then what was he planning?
A coup?
A power shift?
Nothing else made sense.
"You're a needed virus in this system," Julius said. "When your time comes, nature take its course."
Krüger didn't respond. His throat was dry, and his thoughts were spiraling.
"For now," Julius continued, "I can use you. You understand what that means, don't you?"
