**Chapter 7: The Unbreakable Asset**

The video feed flickered and died, plunging the dark web gathering into an uneasy silence. The clients, still reeling from the spectacle they had just witnessed, slowly came back to life, their faces bathed in the faint glow of their screens. They stared at the frozen image of Lady's dissected body, her skin sliced open, her pulsing fibers visible beneath. But as they watched, a strange phenomenon occurred. The wound began to close, the skin knitting itself back together with an unnatural speed. The blood ceased to flow, and the pulsing fibers slowed to a gentle hum. Lady's body, once mutilated, now looked almost untouched. The only reminder of the ordeal was the blood-stained V-neck top, now clinging to her torso. Dr. Zhang leaned back in his chair, a look of fascination on his face. He had never seen anything like this before. Lady was an invaluable asset, a key to unlocking secrets that could change the course of human understanding. He couldn't let her go. "Lady," he said, his voice low and soothing, "I think we can come to a mutually beneficial arrangement. You see, I've been making a lot of money off your... unique abilities. But I think it's only fair that you get a share of the profits." Lady's eyes, still glassy from the procedure, focused on Dr. Zhang. She seemed to understand what he was saying, and a hint of calculation crept into her gaze. "I'll offer you a deal," Dr. Zhang continued. "You allow me to use your... skin, for lack of a better term, for my research and entertainment purposes. And in return, I'll give you a percentage of the cut. You can be a partner in this venture, rather than just a patient." Dr. Zhang gestured to her neck, her chest, and part of her rack. "This... composition of yours, it's a goldmine. I've never seen anything like it. And with your cooperation, I think we can make a fortune." Lady's expression didn't change, but Dr. Zhang could sense a spark of interest behind her eyes. She was a shrewd businesswoman, and she knew a good opportunity when she saw one. "What percentage are we talking about?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Dr. Zhang smiled, a plan already forming in his mind. "I was thinking of offering you 20% of the profits. You can be a partner in this venture, and together, we can make a lot of money." The darkness of the dark web seemed to pulse with anticipation as Lady considered the offer. She knew that she had a unique asset, one that could bring her wealth and power beyond her wildest dreams. And with Dr. Zhang's proposal, she could be a part of it all.
