But this hope only looked beautiful on the surface. In practice, there was one fatal problem they couldn't avoid facing.
That was the Bizarre Tree.
The Bizarre Tree had planted a mark on every agent. As soon as an agent tried to flee Star City and went beyond the Bizarre Tree's range of control, the tree would sense it.
Then the Bizarre Tree could use a secret art to take their life.
Although this wasn't guaranteed to happen, it was highly likely.
Jiang Yue had heard about this long ago, so when Chen Yinxing fell silent in thought and didn't answer right away, he understood.
"Miss Chen, I understand your concerns. But things have come to this point, and the situation no longer allows you to avoid offending either side. I'll give you ten minutes to think it over."
Jiang Yue had never driven Chen Yinxing into a corner. It wasn't because he felt sorry for her; she simply hadn't done anything particularly evil.
Unlike the other agents, this woman wasn't interested in doing evil. She was interested in figuring out how to benefit herself.
She was a consummate self-interest seeker.
So, to get Chen Yinxing to make a decision, he had to consider things from the perspective of what would benefit her.
Chen Yinxing had clearly sensed that Jiang Yue wouldn't let her sit on the fence this time. If she didn't firmly choose a side, she probably wouldn't make it through this.
Jiang Yue might not kill her himself, but she would certainly meet a miserable end.
There were plenty of people willing to act on Jiang Yue's behalf.
Chen Yinxing didn't need to think for ten minutes. Before long, she made up her mind.
"Mr. Jiang, I can do as you say. But I have one condition."
