They all knew that whenever there was a tricky situation that the ordinary members of the group couldn't resolve, it was time for Mr. Ballo to step in.

The girl named Yuan Liangming standing before them was actually Mr. Ballo, which clearly caught many by surprise.

Because Mr. Ballo specialized in assassinations, and the opponents that the group couldn't handle often had considerable prowess. Yet, Mr. Ballo had never failed in dealing with these enemies.

This indicated that Mr. Ballo was an extremely capable person.

Furthermore, everyone in the group was well aware that Mr. Ballo never left any survivors.

If the girl standing before them was indeed Mr. Ballo, as she claimed, then there was no doubt that her fair and delicate hands were stained with blood.

While the members of the Black Exhaust Group were in suspicion, Ba Lv spoke once more.

"Everyone knows, I have served the group for decades, always loyal, and never done anything detrimental to the organization.

"As long as it's a task assigned by the organization, no matter how much hardship I endure, I always try every possible way to complete it! Have any of you ever heard of Mr. Ballo failing a mission?"

Ba Lv questioned the members of the group.

The buzzing sound echoed once again among the members of the Black Exhaust Group, and some honest ones started nodding, indicating they had never heard of Mr. Ballo failing a mission.

Ba Lv said again, "I don't expect everyone present to accept my statement, but I welcome any of you to point out a time when I didn't complete a mission."

Ba Lv clearly understood some conversational techniques. If she let the Black Group members claim that Ba Lv always completed tasks without fail, it would sound like support for her.

While their top leader just accused her of betrayal.

If they made such statements, it would seem as if they were opposing their top leader.

Now, Ba Lv asked the members to point out her failures in completing tasks, which indirectly allowed the Black Exhaust members to freely express their thoughts.

But no one stood up to point out any instance where she hadn't completed a task.

During the confrontation between Jiang Cheng and the top leader of Black Exhaust, that top leader accused Ba Lv of being a traitor, which provoked a strong rebuttal from Ba Lv.

She made her declaration to the members of Black Exhaust Group.

"When I was ordered by the organization to go to a small town on Erma Planet to assassinate the person in front of me," she pointed at Jiang Cheng, "I'm ashamed to say that despite my all-out efforts, I still failed.

However, you all can see the fearsome ability of this person; when faced with him, I indeed had no power to resist."

Many members of the Black Exhaust Group nodded unconsciously, admitting she was right. Even with Mr. Ballo's strength, when facing this person, she had no means whatsoever.

In the face of absolute strength, all techniques are futile.

The target Mr. Ballo attempted to assassinate just now had already proven his abilities with the blood of six high-ranking members of the Black Exhaust Group.

Some veteran members understood that even if Mr. Ballo's abilities were extraordinary, his assassination skills could at most slightly surpass one of the deceased higher-ups.

Meanwhile, her assassination target had just easily killed five of such individuals.

Therefore, it was understandable that Mr. Ballo could not complete this task.

Ba Lv continued, "The person in front of me is not part of our Dark World, so after he punished me in Lu Shi, he let me leave Erma Planet.

However, when I returned to headquarters, the higher-ups of the organization began to groundlessly suspect me. In their view, my survival from this person's hands must be because I colluded with them, so without hesitation, they labeled me as a traitor!

The sound echoed again, and the members of the Black Exhaust Group never thought the higher-ups would be so rash.

These members have participated in countless battles, and it's impossible to always win in every fight. So when they fail, they would choose to retreat or even escape.

"As long as the green hills last, there will be wood to burn."

These Black Group members, of course, didn't know this saying from Earth's Hua Family Country, but they understood that as long as one is not dead, there would be chances to make a comeback.

If every escape was considered collusion with the enemy, every retreat was seen as betrayal to the organization, then some of them might as well have died multiple times.

Looking at the indifferent expressions on the faces of the members in front of her, Ba Lv continued to speak: "I don't know why the higher-ups insist that I admit to being a traitor. Their accusation is a slander on me! I firmly oppose it!"

The interrogation was simple; once they saw I had no intention of confessing, they tortured me a bit and then threw me into the death cell.

Ba Lvluo said resentfully, "This is the reward for my loyalty to the organization! From the moment I was thrown into that death cell, I lost all hope in such an organization." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Everyone knew what the death cell meant to the people of Black Exhaust. It was a horrifyingly eerie place they wished never to live in, even for a minute.

Some of them had been in and out of ordinary cells due to various reasons, where darkness, loneliness, and terror were overwhelming. Some even wanted to use every negative word they could think of to describe it.

And that was merely an ordinary cell, not the death cell.

When the guards there attempted to assault me, it was the person in front of me who saved me just in time.

"When I was so desperate that death seemed elusive, it was this person who pulled me back from hell."

If it were you, what would you do?

During Ba Lv's speech, for some reason — perhaps due to guilt — the top leader merely sneered and did not interrupt her.

After Ba Lv finished speaking, the top leader just added sinisterly, "A traitor is a traitor, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't cover up your betrayal of the organization!"

Ba Lv said no more after that.

She had said everything she needed to say.

Originally, she didn't want to refute the top leader's words. She had already taken actions that proved her betrayal, and no matter the stance, verbal opposition seemed weak and powerless.

But after pondering, she felt she still needed to speak those words.

Not to defend herself.

Nor to garner sympathy from the Black Exhaust Group members.

It was something she needed Jiang Cheng and the others to hear.
