"No." He Hua spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Impossible! With so many people here, anyone who hasn't gone to the hospital for surgery? And what's the result? They all stitched their wounds willingly and acted as if nothing happened, continuing to live within the underground forces of God?" Cao Yi said incredulously.

"Haha, you can doubt it, but I want to tell you that Zhengxue and I are no longer bound by God. Now we swim, chat, shop, and live like normal people on Wealth Island, enjoying a normal life. We get assignments, and whenever there's a need, the boss arranges time for us. Our lives are just like those of ordinary people." He Hua laughed.

"Really, He Hua?" Sun Mei asked excitedly, looking at He Hua.

She was so excited because she no longer wanted to be controlled by God. She was forced to join this force; if she didn't, her family would be killed by God. For her family's safety, she reluctantly joined, and it's been ten years now, not knowing how her family is doing.

"That's a lie, Sun Mei. Rejoin the team." Cao Yi didn't believe it, nor did he want to gamble with his life, so he stopped Sun Mei, asking her to rejoin the team.

"No! Even if there's a slim chance to break away from God's forces, I won't pass it up. Even if it means death, I've had enough." At this moment, Sun Mei showed her softer side. In the past, executing tasks in various countries earned her the nickname 'Black Widow', implying she was cruel and ruthless.

But beneath her ruthless exterior, she held onto her heart and principles. She refused to kill the elderly, children, or people of Huaxia.

"You're crazy. God knows, you will die." Cao Yi shouted.

Ye Hao waved his hand and smiled, "Enough! You don't need to talk further. You're here to kill us, so I won't be polite to you either."

Ye Hao was pressuring them, testing if they wanted to act. If they chose not to, aiming for a life of freedom like He Hua, Ye Hao would control them in his unique way without directly dismantling their heart bombs or exerting control like He Hua did.

He Hua turned and pleaded, "Boss, can I talk to them for a while?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Please, boss, make it happen." He Hua knelt and shouted.

Seeing this, Ye Hao nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give you a few minutes."

After saying this, Ye Hao drank tea with Zheng Guang and others, trusting that Cao Yi wouldn't act rashly since they wanted to hear He Hua's words.

He Hua walked up to Sun Mei, casually fixing her hair, and seeing Sun Mei crying, he felt distressed. After all, the two were partially lovers in the past.

"Meimei, the boss is highly capable, dismantling bombs painlessly and guiding me to the Innate Realm. Zhou Yang and Zhengxue also reached the twelfth stage peak. The boss has great talents. If you truly seek freedom, I urge you to turn back. The boss can offer you a life under the sun, give you freedom, and grant you a new life. Doesn't that life sound appealing? We've been controlled by God for almost ten years now, right? Often, I've wondered what life I'd have lived if I hadn't met the boss..." He Hua looked at Sun Mei, advising her.

"No need to say more, He Hua. I want freedom, and I don't want to be controlled by God anymore. Please, take me away." Sun Mei cried, and the National Martial Arts practitioners of eighth to twelfth stage behind her all turned to look at Sun Mei. Sun Mei still cries?

Although they knew Sun Mei as someone who appeared ruthless but was kind-hearted, none expected her to cry publicly.

This showcased the torment Sun Mei endured over the past ten years.

She outwardly seemed to be in her thirties but was actually almost in her fifties.

She broke into the Innate Realm purely by chance, and it was this event that led her to be forced into joining God.

"Asking me is useless; talk to my boss!" After saying this, He Hua went over to stand behind Ye Hao, protecting him.

He couldn't decide for Ye Hao, whether to kill or keep them, as he would fully obey Ye Hao's orders.

Sun Mei approached, knelt before Ye Hao, and pleaded, "Boss, please take me in. I'm really fed up. I'd rather accept your control than join that force. Please."

"Accept my control?" Ye Hao said with a smile.

He's pondering if Sun Mei might genuinely have had enough of that force. Why else would she choose to be controlled by Ye Hao over being under the force's control?

"Yes! I'm truly overwhelmed, constantly threatened, and forced to commit so many heinous acts in secret." Sun Mei nodded while crying.

"Alright! Since you've made your choice, I'll give you a chance. However, I hope you'll recognize your position shortly and decide who to confront and who to protect." Ye Hao aimed to test her true intentions.

"I understand." Upon hearing Ye Hao's words, Sun Mei pulled out her dagger and walked behind Ye Hao, coldly staring at Cao Yi.

She had no emotional ties with Cao Yi. Cao Yi was bloodthirsty, following orders regardless of gender, age, obliterating with delight.

She greatly disliked Cao Yi, so she decisively stood behind Ye Hao, joining his camp but looked apologetically at the Innate Realm master Qin Qing behind Cao Yi.

Indicating she'd turned against them, choosing freedom from control.

Ye Hao saw this and laughed, "What now? Do you have the power to fight me? If not, Elder Zheng..."

Upon hearing Ye Hao call, Zheng Guang stepped forward, releasing his Innate Realm aura and shouted, "Young Master, Zheng Guang is here."

"Haha! He said we're not enough for him, what say you?" Ye Hao chuckled.

"Then Zheng Guang will challenge him." Zheng Guang said, stepping forward to confront Cao Yi.

Feeling Zheng Guang's power, Cao Yi's pupils contracted; this power was far superior.

"You... you're advanced level?" Cao Yi asked wide-eyed, looking at Zheng Guang.

"Exactly!" Zheng Guang nodded, gradually approaching Cao Yi.

Cao Yi retreated step by step.

Cao Yi's face flickered, then he knelt and said, "I don't want God controlling me either, boss, spare me!"

Cao Yi's shift surprised everyone from God's underground forces, leaving them stunned, questioning if Cao Yi could show some dignity.

"Boss, I'd rather follow you. I'm willing to accept your control and leave God's grasp." Cao Yi shouted again.

Zheng Guang paused and looked at Ye Hao, but at that moment, two people simultaneously moved...(To be continued.
