Xila had long sensed Father God's faint distrust towards her, and now this declaration only proved that after Pei Yan achieved victory, the newly-trained three Children of Origin would be sufficient to balance her, only then would she be given further promotion opportunities. She couldn't understand why she was being targeted this way, but she dared not complain and could only fake a smile to thank Father God for his gift, before turning her gaze back to the light screen once again.

At this moment, Pei Yan had already crossed the fissure back to the original meeting point. As he led the chain out of the light screen, he saw Zheng Jia Ru smirking at him with a face full of smugness. After glancing around to see his companions already gathered, he turned to Zheng Jia Ru and asked with a smile: "What are you laughing at? Did you have a big haul?"

"No big haul, but he did win quite a lot of money from us," Xia Yu said as she stood up upon seeing Pei Yan return, and kicked the prisoner beside her with annoyance.

"Win money?" Pei Yan tugged at the iron chain behind him and asked in confusion.

"He bet with us that you would be the one to outsmart the enemy to the end, and be the last to return to the team. Apart from Old Ye, who was the second-to-last to return, all of us lost to him, and he won!" Gu Shenghui, who never stops this kind of team banter and also placed a bet, said in exasperation.

"Oh, I was the last one?" Pei Yan smiled awkwardly and looked at Ye Ruozai, saying: "Did you come back earlier than me?"

"More or less at the same time. I hadn't been back long when you came in. If you had been a step faster, your sister and Gu Chu wouldn't have lost money," Ye Ruozai nodded and said with a light chuckle.

Pei Yan shrugged helplessly. Then, after glancing at the nine prisoners on the ground, he said: "Everyone's been captured, we can go back!"

"Yes, let's go!"

A moment later, the image on the light screen disappeared, and the next second, a spatial fissure appeared on the circular building's platform, six figures entered with their captives in succession, hovering in the air above the platform, slowly descending.

The sound of chains dragging across the stone slabs of the platform, accompanied by the groans of pain from the captives, sounded particularly eerie and piercing in this silent circular building. The top figures from various planes and forces present looked through the windows of the circular building, quietly watching this play to see what conclusion it would have.

"Flamel, did you see that! We prefer to act first and then solve problems, rather than just stand there spewing nonsense." Pei Yan didn't first contact Blood Sha but instead shook the chain in his hand in mockery toward Flamel.

"Hmph!" The thunderous means of the Investigation Hall really intimidated Flamel. Pei Yan's actions not only demonstrated the power of the Investigation Hall but also showed their stance to the people present. Blood Sha is still the biggest enemy of several major planes now, you Flamel better think about your stance before spouting nonsense again!

Seeing this noisy guy obediently shut his mouth, Pei Yan turned to Nero with a cold smile and said: "Now do we have the capital to negotiate?"

"You swept through the bases of my six legions for this negotiation capital. Do you think we still have the chance to negotiate?" Nero, whose expression had been terrifyingly dark since Pei Yan went to the Hell Plane, grew extremely angry after seeing the captives in front of him and hearing Pei Yan's words, then laughed in anger and said.

"I offered you a chance for a peaceful resolution!" Pei Yan opened his hands and looked around with a grievance, helplessly saying: "You said we were in a battle, that we were shameless to conditionally demand captives from you! Right, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, so in the context of war, those six legions deserved to die, is that a problem?"

"Are you not afraid of our retaliation?" Nero's gaze filled with murderous intent stared at Pei Yan, enunciating each word.

"If I didn't do this, would you spare us from retaliation? If I didn't do this, could we hold hands and become friends? Capturing my people and asking me if I'm afraid of retaliation?" Pei Yan said, taking out a cigarette and placing it in his mouth, while Xia Yu beside him skillfully snapped her fingers at his cigarette end, lighting it with a blue arc.

Pei Yan took a puff slowly and exhaled smoke in Nero's face, responding firmly, word by word: "Fear? I'm terrified to death! So I'm telling you, afterwards, our Investigation Hall will always have three Children of Origin stationing at Headquarters, if you dare to capture one of our people again, all agents will return to Headquarters nonoperational, while the other three Children of Origin will collectively deploy and sweep your bases one by one. If you have the guts, come and attack our Investigation Hall Headquarters and see if your targets are more than ours."

With these words, the atmosphere on the scene abruptly tightened. Jiang Feiyang watching this scene laughed with delight, clapping Wang Wenze's shoulder happily, saying: "See what I said? Pei Yan is increasingly showing the temperament of a social boss! That's one way to speak! I like it!"

The arena on the stage fell into a stalemate, and seeing the opponent not make a statement for a long time, Pei Yan took a step back, kicked the prisoner beside him mischievously, and said: "We'll talk about future matters in the future, these people are your legion's backbone now, six Grand Commanders, three Deputy Commanders, 8th and 9th level experts. You won't lose exchanging for our grassroots small agents, would you? Decided or not, give a straightforward answer!"

Glaring pale and unpleasant from Pei Yan's words, Nero, after hearing this, exhaled a long breath, fading the anger on his face to replace it with a friendly smile: "Right! You are correct, exchanging nine high-level for your small agents, we're indeed getting a good bargain."

After speaking, he feigned looking back at Shitang Longsi and softly said: "Where are those whom God wanted to capture? Explain the situation to Mr. Pei properly."

"Would you like a full report?" Shitang Longsi stepped forward and asked.

"Certainly, since the opposite side is so sincere, we naturally want to say all we know without reservation," Nero pointed at Pei Yan with a grim smile.

Upon seeing this scene, Pei Yan and the others already harbored a bad premonition in their hearts, and Shitang Longsi, standing upright, uttered two words that confirmed their suspicion. πšπ—Ώπ—²πžπš π•–π›π—»π—Όπ―π•–πš•.πšŒπ—Όπ—Ί

"Dead."

"You $%&#! I'll kill you!" The Investigation Hall is like a big family where everyone shares life and death together. Hearing these two words, Zheng Jia Ru's eyes instantly turned red, and he, along with Xia Yu, were about to rush up and rip Shitang Longsi apart.

"Stop!" Gu Shenghui swung his hand and stopped the two's actions, sternly reprimanding them, the accumulated authority over the years compelled the two to obey the superior's command, halting with eyes glaring at Shitang Longsi, waiting for an opportunity to leap again.

"Did you go to such great lengths to capture our people alive, only to kill them?" Gu Shenghui looked up coldly questioning the other side, people cannot be saved back but they need to understand why they did this, the more intelligence they gather, the better.
