I still prefer your defiant look!

This tattooed woman with a cigarette in her mouth was a Hidden Class, the 'Speech Controller'.

Her skills were very sinister; she could control the words people spoke, silence targets, silence monsters, and even bosses. Her support role in battle was quite strong.

The official departments especially had a great need for such a class.

Because…

This class could make people tell the truth!

And this tattooed female Speech Controller was hidden within the team specifically to prevent situations like the current one from happening!

As she raised her hand and released 'Speech Control' toward Matsushita Xingyue, Matsushita Xingyue uncontrollably blurted out what she had just discovered!

"I… I saw countless souls merging, struggling, and roaring."

"They are merging together, somewhat like my brother Matsushita Nikken's Talent, 'Flesh Mountain Puppet'…"

"But my brother's strength couldn't possibly be this great!"

"And it's impossible for him to have the ability to turn invisible…"

Matsushita Xingyue spoke these words with extreme reluctance.

She was incredibly shocked deep down!

She hadn't expected that there were actually methods and classes in this world that could force a person to speak!

Clearly, although the Sakura Country officials valued her and gave her important roles, they were always wary of her, even treating her merely as a tool…

"Your brother? Matsushita Nikken?"

Upon hearing this, Kameyama Sasuke immediately sneered: "I see. So that's why you wanted to hide your discovery… Do you know that your attempt to conceal this information constitutes an act of harboring treason?"

"Harboring treason?"

Matsushita Xingyue snorted coldly: "Who committed treason?"

Kameyama Sasuke paused and then said: "You probably don't know what your brother has been up to lately, do you? To tell you the truth, he applied voluntarily and requested to go to Daxian, saying he was going to assassinate Shadow."

"Who would have thought he was just a fool. Now it seems he clearly failed and has become Shadow's lackey!"

"His Flesh Mountain Puppet has killed so many of our people. If that's not treason, what is?"

A cold glint appeared in Kameyama Sasuke's eyes as he looked at Matsushita Xingyue with interest: "Now that you've harbored a treasonous criminal, if you still want to live, you'd better behave yourself from now on. Perhaps I'll consider putting in a good word for you."

Unfortunately, Matsushita Xingyue was no pushover either. She looked coldly at Kameyama Sasuke: "Despicable middle-aged man, you want to play with me? In your dreams. I hold the Life Souls of nineteen Sakura Country experts in my hands. Even if the officials want to kill me, they'll have to weigh the consequences!"

Her class was Soul Reaper.

That was the source of her confidence!

With the Life Souls of those nineteen top Sakura Country experts in her pocket, it meant she could wipe out those nineteen experts anytime, anywhere!

This would be a massive loss for Sakura Country!

But Kameyama Sasuke burst out laughing upon hearing this: "Is that so? Do you think the officials didn't take precautions against you? Let me tell you a little secret… your life and the lives of those nineteen people have already been linked together."

"If they die, you die too. If you have the guts, why don't you try killing them?"

Kameyama Sasuke's level was indeed much higher than Matsushita Xingyue's.

Because Kameyama Sasuke had been an important figure in the Sakura Country government even before the God Forsaken Game arrived.

Meanwhile, Matsushita Xingyue was just a civilian selected to handle affairs.

The upper echelons merely treated her as a tool.

These words made Matsushita Xingyue's heart turn cold…

The situation seemed quite unfavorable for her!

However, Kameyama Sasuke didn't hold onto her for now. Instead, he observed the surroundings, his expression becoming extremely grave: "It seems Matsushita Nikken has committed treason and allied with Shadow… We must issue a condemnation against Daxian and use international public opinion to force Shadow to withdraw Matsushita Nikken's Flesh Mountain Puppet."

"Bullshit."

Matsushita Xingyue cursed on the spot: "What evidence is there to prove my brother committed treason? Don't talk nonsense; it's very likely he's just being held hostage by Shadow!"

Kameyama Sasuke sneered: "Even if he is being held hostage, his Flesh Mountain Puppet has killed so many Sakura Country citizens; he is already beyond forgiveness! If it were me, I could never be held hostage. Even if I were, I would immediately commit seppuku rather than let those despicable Daxian pigs have their way!"

Just as those words were spoken.

Suddenly, bang!

They should have been extremely safe while invisible on the Two-headed Giant Snake. Even if some attacks landed on them, they would be blocked by the 66 layers of Damage Immunity Shields released by the snake.

But at this moment…

Time seemed to slow down. They clearly saw the 66 layers of Damage Immunity Shields around them shatter in an instant!

Immediately after, the group reacted instantly, wanting to release some skills or something.

Unfortunately, their speed was far too slow!

Even though they all reacted within 0.1 seconds, they didn't have time to make any moves.

Invisible blade light arrived in a flash!

Puff, puff, puff!

The fifty-eight people in the area, excluding Matsushita Xingyue and Kameyama Sasuke, were all enveloped in the black mist of Instant Death energy, dying violently in an instant!

And that included…

The Two-headed Giant Snake mount beneath their feet was also enveloped by the Instant Death energy, wailing as it died on the spot!

Boom!

The body of the Two-headed Giant Snake mount, which had died in reality, rapidly decomposed and returned to its owner's mount space to wait for rebirth an hour later. Unfortunately…

It wouldn't get that chance!

Matsushita Xingyue and Kameyama Sasuke only had time for their expressions to change before everyone around them dropped dead.

Then the two-headed snake hit the ground, and the two of them tumbled miserably onto the earth, rolling several times!

The dust flying up all around made them both cough.

Before they could even stand up.

Swish!

A figure like a shadow descended from the sky, with four pairs of pitch-black Death Wings behind him, enveloped in pure black Instant Death energy!

A forest-white mask, heartless eyes.

It was none other than the 'Shadow' they had just been discussing!

Qin Feng's feet were off the ground, the Death Wings behind him fluttering gently. As he looked at Kameyama Sasuke, who hadn't yet stood up, he said indifferently: "You just said that if you were held hostage, you would definitely commit seppuku and would never work for me?"

Upon hearing this, Kameyama Sasuke, who was halfway up, knelt right back down on the spot.

He raised his hands and then prostrated himself on the ground in an exaggerated manner, shouting nervously and loudly: "Lord Shadow! I was talking nonsense! I am willing to work for you, please forgive me! I know many secrets of the Sakura Country government and can help you!"

???

Seeing this scene, Matsushita Xingyue's eyes widened.

Wait, wasn't this guy just acting all unyielding and ready to die?

How did he just kneel down the moment Shadow appeared?!

Qin Feng smiled at the sight: "I still prefer your defiant look from just now. Why don't you switch back?"

"Uh…"

Kameyama Sasuke was dumbfounded; for a moment, he didn't know if Qin Feng was being serious or not.

So he tentatively lifted his head, revealing the patch of black hair under his nose: "I… I, Kameyama Sasuke, from now on, even if I am held hostage, will commit seppuku and will never betray Lord Shadow?"

"Why is your tone so uncertain? Where's the aura from before? Where are the grand words?"

Qin Feng let out a cold laugh.

Having said that, he didn't give the other party another chance and raised his hand for a strike!

This strike consumed 1,200 points of Divinity from the White Sprout Blade: Soul Harvest.

Bang!

Kameyama Sasuke's forehead was slashed. Although there was only a thin trace of blood, he had already died under the Soul Harvest, falling heavily to the side with his eyes wide open in an unpeaceful Death!

"And I thought you people from Sakura Country really had some backbone."

Qin Feng gripped the White Sprout Blade, squeezed it twice, and then put it away…

Then he looked with interest at the only remaining Soul Reaper girl nearby, Matsushita Xingyue!
