"Is exactly what is keeping us alive right now," Zhou Yuxi interrupted, her voice hardening into something that carried an edge of steel. "I crossed an ocean to get here illegally, Agent Morrison. I flew through a category-four typhoon that killed dozens of people. I killed fifteen people with my own hands after making them sign over their assets in their own blood. I restructured two major companies and threatened your entire nation with nuclear annihilation. Do you really think, after doing all of that, that I would go through such elaborate preparations and then launch actual nuclear weapons that could start World War III and kill millions? I am violent when necessary, Agent Morrison, not insane or suicidal. Those missiles are a symbol, not a weapon. They are a message written in the language that powerful people understand. And they stay active until I am satisfied that the threat to Mu Yunchen has been permanently and completely neutralized. Until I'm back home."
