"Cooperation? How do we cooperate?" Xue An said with a half-smile.
"It’s simple; hand over the person who forged and spread that video, then tell me what your real purpose is. That’s your only way...!"
But before she could finish her words, she was uncontrollably lifted into the air.
Of course, this didn’t mean she had any special abilities; it was entirely because Xue An suddenly appeared in front of her, grabbed her neck, and forcefully lifted her from the ground.
Grace never dreamed that Xue An would dare to suddenly attack her, especially after she had stated her identity. Therefore, she looked at Xue An with a face full of shock.
Yet Xue An just coldly smiled, "Now I’m giving you two choices, the first is death, and the second is also death. Which do you choose?"
"I... I’m a member of the Carter Family. If you kill me, have you considered how serious the consequences would be?" Grace struggled to say.
Xue An merely gave a faint smile, "If I’m not mistaken, your so-called Carter Family should be from M Country, right?"
"Correct! It comes from the great, chosen nation, the God-favored land." Grace said proudly.
But in the next second, Xue An suddenly exerted force, killing all of her pride at her throat.
"I’m really puzzled. Being someone with Hua Clan blood, why do you flatter an outside clan like this? I imagine, to join this so-called Carter Family, you must have paid a heavy price, like selling your soul and body, right?"
Grace’s eyes showed a hint of panic, yet she stubbornly said.
"No matter what you say, the Carter Family won’t let you off. They occupy numerous seats on the Federal Credential Bureau’s board, which you can’t even imagine!"
"Ha ha!" Xue An sneered, "Forgot to tell you, after you die, this so-called Carter Family, and even the whole M Country, the entire Federal Credential Bureau, will be buried with you."
If someone else had said this, Grace would have scoffed.
But now, being tightly choked by Xue An, she could clearly feel the cold killing intent in Xue An’s eyes, making her arrogant demeanor vanish, as she hysterically screamed.
"Aren’t you afraid your companions will be harmed if you kill me? As soon as I die, the Mechanical Labyrinth will immediately lock, and they will never get out."
Xue An said lightly, "You still don’t understand him; although he might seem lazy and unreliable, he’s not someone a mere labyrinth can trap!"
Just as he finished speaking, a voice of triumph came from the void.
"Looks like old Xue understands me well!"
Then Huyue and Si Qingqing suddenly appeared.
Huyue then casually threw down an object.
Bang.
The object hit the floor with a dull sound.
It was a human figure.
Huyue then smugly said, "Actually, we’ve already escaped a long time ago, but didn’t come out to let you have your moment!"
As he spoke, the figure on the ground squirmed a few times, then moaned in pain.
Only now did Grace see clearly, the figure was none other than her subordinate, Black Snake.
But at this moment, Black Snake was utterly devoid of his usual arrogance and instead drooped like a dead snake deprived of its spine, unable even to lift his head.
Simultaneously, Huyue chuckled, "You know, we must thank this guy for helping us escape the labyrinth so quickly."
"When this kid got trapped inside the labyrinth for unknown reasons, I caught him and searched his memories to escape smoothly."
At the time Black Snake had followed Xue An and the others to the second-floor detention area.
He planned to act when the opportunity arose and gain credit before Grace.
