At this moment, Little Vlad is still skeptical about Pei Yan's words. From the series of reactions after the opponent heard her answer, she judges that they truly didn't know the truth about the Blood Curse. The only uncertainty she has is whether Pei Yan's words after learning the truth were genuine, or if he was using the situation to provoke her family against K. If false, these people's reactions were too fast, the acting was so realistic. If true, then as for her family...

Seeing her still keeping silent, holding a cigarette with her head lowered, Pei Yan flicked the ash off his cigar and chuckled lightly: "Don't want to say anything? No worries! From this point, it seems your teacher never trusted your family. According to the time you switched to Moira and entered as K's disciple, your father responded to K's summons to cooperate only after you returned to the Magic Realm from the cornerstone dimension. Ah! I kind of admire your teacher now. Preparing a knife for murder after cooperation, without even lifting a finger, letting two organizations deplete each other, brilliant! Brilliant!"

After speaking, Pei Yan saw Little Vlad wanted to argue, waved his hand holding the cigar in a mocking gesture: "You can believe my words or not, anyway, we already know the truth, he will only become more vigilant. As for whether your family, still in the dark, will be calculated by him using other means, that's your business and has nothing to do with us."

Little Vlad heard the words and lowered her head again, after a moment, she took a deep inhale from the cigarette until the smoke burned her fingers, only then threw it away and lifted her head laughing scornfully: "Then, what about your companion? You don't want him to live anymore? The reason you're so obsessively questioning me about the past is just to find a way to save him, isn't it? If you let it go, he still can't survive."

"Are you threatening me?" Pei Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold, grinning menacingly: "You know I hate being threatened the most."

"It's not a threat, it's cooperation! You have me in your hands, and my father holds the life of your friend. Isn't this a ready-made solution? Release me, we make a deal, I guarantee that your friend can survive, I swear!"

Seeing Pei Yan pondering over her words, biting his cigar, Little Vlad glanced at Du Guangyuan standing beside Pei Yan, pointed at him and continued to entice: "Him! Even his son, we can return them to you, how about it? Trading one person for two lives, a very fair deal, right!"

After a moment, Pei Yan ignored the visibly excited Du Guangyuan upon hearing the news, straightened his posture against the back of his chair, crossed his legs, placed the hand holding the cigar on his knee, and replied resolutely: "I refuse, you have committed an unforgivable crime, I will find a way to save our people and his son, as for the terms, you are not qualified to bargain with me. Now honestly answer the questions."

Upon hearing these words, Little Vlad's previously excited expression instantly wilted, seeing her like this, Pei Yan was very satisfied internally. People don't cherish things they obtain too easily, and like them, suspicious people will suspect if there's any conspiracy behind these things. Hence, even though the plan to use her to exchange for Ye Jiumu's Blood Curse cancellation was already agreed, Pei Yan decided to keep her in suspense to wear down her vigilance.

"How this matter will be resolved, you don't need to worry about it! Now continue answering my questions, with your cooperation with K, haven't the Blood Slaughter sensed anything?" Pei Yan suddenly remembered a question and asked puzzledly: "Even if they didn't notice before, now that your identity is exposed, your family's relationship with K, surely they know now, right! Aren't you worried about reprisal against your family?"

"Reprisal?" Little Vlad, his hope shattered, feeling determined to go down with the sinking ship, leaned against the wall and looked at Pei Yan mockingly: "Don't you understand yet? My family, while transmitting Blood Slaughter information to my teacher, has also been transmitting Magic Realm information to Blood Slaughter. We are the intermediary for both, when they can't meet face to face but need the other side to know the information, they do it through my family, otherwise how do you think previous negotiations among the Dimensional Venerables were facilitated, these are tacitly understood by both sides, until you revealed everything on the table."

"Calling you a double agent is spot on!" Pei Yan put out the cigar, threw it away, approached happily saying: "But even the most skilled double-faced, in your family's heart, there must be a priority, right? Do you lean more towards Blood Slaughter, or towards the Magic Realm?"

Watching Little Vlad's wavering eyes, Pei Yan knew enough and concluded: "Your family leans more towards Blood Slaughter, I'm curious what promise Blood Slaughter made to your families that could make you betray your original dimension, it's not just dissatisfaction accumulated over years that explains this, speak, what exactly did you do in collaboration with Blood Slaughter?"

"This matter, this matter, I'm not very clear! Everything with Blood Slaughter is handled by my father, I haven't had much contact." Perhaps even Little Vlad doesn't believe her own words, hence speaking hesitantly and unclearly.

"Not much? Then say as much as you know."

"Uh, it's just providing some manpower for Blood Slaughter to deploy, then collecting Magic Realm intelligence, providing spellcraft, materials, experimental subjects to collaborate with Blood Slaughter's internal research, that's all."

Listening to Little Vlad's evasive answer, Pei Yan leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, sighed long with regret, rubbing his forehead with his hand saying: "Little Vlad, Little Vlad, I'm controlling my temper to talk to you amicably, why do you treat me like a fool?"

Pei Yan slightly opened one eye, squinting at Little Vlad, whose body started trembling coldly: "Do you think giving me these irrelevant, obvious answers can fool me?"

"I, I, really..."

"Enough!" Before Little Vlad could finish, Pei Yan raised his right hand, small mechanical arms split from his arm, surged towards Little Vlad. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free and was lifted by the mechanical arms, then separated from Pei Yan's body, transforming into handcuffs linking to the wall behind, restraining Little Vlad back on the wall.

"Go do what you need to do." Pei Yan said to Du Guangyuan beside him, as he agreed happily and started tinkering with the tools on the table. Pei Yan stood up, walked over to the table with food, took out a fried chicken leg from a plastic bag and began eating it, ignoring what was about to happen behind him.
