At that, they were both taken aback. Questions pelted them like money wasn't an issue. Even the beautiful face of the Death Envoy was finally without composure, "But when did you figure out that John was a fake? You should be under the influence of an illusion technique."

"Foolish, you didn't really think I fell asleep," Feng Yi said. "The will of a seasoned warrior like me is steadfast, barely affected by petty illusion techniques. From the moment you stepped into the warship, you had already exposed yourselves. A Mental Ability User would know that everyone has a distinct aura. Plus, I had given John strict orders not to allow anyone into the room without my permission. From the start, your guise was pointless."

Thousand-faced Poppy was practically livid. Is this guy playing them? Even the usually cool Death Envoy flushed in embarrassment and frustration. "If that's the case, why act weak?" she retorted.

"Doesn't matter if I acted weakly, it was only one step in unveiling the mystery. It is said that Sadra is secretive and would give up their life to complete a mission. I simply had to find an alternative way that you might accept," Feng Yi shrugged.

This man is terrifying, thought the Thousand-faced Poppy, breaking into a cold sweat. "What's...what's your goal in getting information from us?"

How foolish!

Knowing yourself and your enemy allows you to win every battle, and questioning with an intention to expose the opponent's identity is for determining whether to ignore, retaliate, or directly…. In any case, you need to know who your opponent is, what they want, what they fear, how powerful they are, and only then can you stand victorious. Information from the Death Envoy is incredibly valuable.

Feng Yi ignores the Thousand-faced Poppy's foolish question, saying, "You don't have the right to question me. Should we discuss terms now, my beautiful Envoys? Or would you prefer a game of death?"

A game of death? This is undoubtedly the most significant challenge in front of them. Can they beat Feng Yi? Even though both of them are part of the Sadra organization - and there are no weaklings in Sadra - it depends on who they are up against. Obviously, a fight against Feng Yi equals suicide, and they both fell silent...

"Alright, let's change the topic. Actually, I'd rather cooperate with only one of you. I think you both understand what I mean." Besides, Feng Yi added, they needn't worry too much. If they're not willing to work with him, they could join forces against him. Unity is strength. If they choose to attack him together, they'd have a slight chance of winning.

At the moment, Feng Yi was like a villain, continuously driving the two to make their final decision. This has two benefits: first, only one person could collaborate with him, and the other must die. This room has a hologram system that can present visual evidence of betrayal.

Second, and most importantly, it's rumored that Sadra isn't as tight-lipped as it seems. There's a curse resembling a gu poison on their bodies preventing them from revealing secrets unless there's a strong possibility of achieving their mission because the dead don't talk. However, the two have inadvertently broken this curse, in other words, Sadra could no longer hold it against them.

Of course, by presenting two benefits, he was also placing two risks. Firstly, only one can survive to gain Feng Yi's trust, or as he described it, his bargaining chip. Secondly, choosing to attack him together is the most foolish thing to do. It doesn't mean they can't defeat Feng Yi. On the contrary, the issue lies in the likelihood of such an event. Even a child can accidentally kill an adult by throwing a pebble at a critical spot. Having said that, Feng Yi didn't give them a choice; he had already decided on their behalf.

What goes around comes around - since they both wanted to kill him, they must prepare themselves for the possibility of being killed in return. He had no sympathy for the cold-blooded Sadra women. Don't forget; he was no saint.

Thousand-faced Poppy glanced at the Death Envoy, who locked her gaze onto Poppy. Neither of them spoke or showed any indication as to what they planned to do, causing the tension in the room to escalate.

Their hands reached toward their bodies simultaneously. Just as their hands were about to make contact, they froze. "Don't even think about using the light transceiver to teleport," came Feng Yi's neutral voice. "Trust me, I will stop you before you activate your transceivers. Of course, everyone has the right to freedom, so you could try."

Their arrogant confidence is maddening - it nearly moved them to tears. They felt helpless, like toys in his game. The Death Envoy bit her glossy lips unsure of what to do, while Thousand-faced Poppy retracted her cold gaze...

Right at that moment, both of them launched lethal attacks at each other simultaneously. Their movements were swift, and their powers, each above Rank 2, were evenly matched. Both of them were unique Superpowered individuals, highly sought after by influential forces. At that moment, they were fighting each other for survival, turning the huge room into a battle hell...

It wasn't long before a beautiful figure collapsed in a pool of blood, while the other stood coldly to the side, watching as if nothing had happened. The members of the Sadra organization were indeed cold-blooded creatures.

I want you to investigate Saudi Kexiao, and obtain the information I want from within Sadra," said Feng Yi.

What's in it for me?"

Your life."

Is my life not ensured now?"

Of course not. Remember, you wanted to kill me — this was just a necessary step that you two had agreed on to fight for a chance to survive. You beat her, thus you won't die — for now. But the debt you owe me won't be written off just like that. Sound fair?"

Seems quite fair, indeed. We tried to kill Feng Yi but failed. Instead of killing us both, he gave us an opportunity to fight for our lives. Not only did it necessarily compromise our position, but it also served as a bargaining chip for life.

"I understand why Sadra is secretive, and I also know your desire for freedom. After the mission is over, we'll call it even," said Feng Yi.

She pondered for a while, then lightly nodded her head, "I understand. What am I supposed to do?"

Feng Yi responded with action. He took out an Strength Pill and force-fed her sharply and smoothly with a swift pull, push, and shove. Before she could even react, the pill was down her throat.

"Done, give me your Heavenly Communication Number. I'll contact you when there's a job."

Great, thought Thousand-faced Poppy. Just when I thought I'd escaped the fire pit, I find myself in a deep hole. "Hey, what did you just feed me?"

"It doesn't matter what you ate; you just have to believe that I will uphold our agreement. Don't forget what day it is today. From now on, come to me for the antidote every year on this date, until our deal is off."

She gave Feng Yi a deep look, mixed with lots of emotions, and then with a firm stomp, she swung the door opened and stormed out...
