"Nothing from this incident left any evidence behind, did it?"
In a private room at an upscale restaurant in District 2, a crystal chandelier cast a soft glow over the exquisite tableware, while a symphony played quietly on a gramophone.
Jiang Yuanrui, Minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, gently swirled his glass of red wine and smiled at Guo Jiuxiao across the table.
"Of course not."
With gentlemanly grace, Guo Jiuxiao drew his knife through a tender, juicy steak.
"Yang Dan's sequence level isn't high, and her body and mind have always been on the verge of collapse. When I controlled her and rewrote her consciousness, I left only faint traces. They've completely disappeared by now."
He put the sauce-soaked piece of steak into his mouth and chewed gently.
"The only people who know about this are me and a few members of your Jiang Family."
Jiang Yuanrui tapped lightly on the table and took a sip of red wine, a hint of scrutiny crossing his brow. "Are you sure? God-Hunting Artifacts are growing more advanced, and Sequence Ability Users are getting stronger. Can you guarantee that your tampering with her mind is foolproof?"
"Foolproof? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration, Minister Jiang? Is anything in this world truly foolproof?"
"Perhaps not, but you should understand what I mean."
"Last time, I controlled Hu Yu and drained all the money from the Zhao Family's accounts, successfully helping you delay the Zhao Family Brothers' plans. Afterward, Zhao Longfei realized I might have been involved, and I didn't ask you to pay extra. This time, too, I proposed a plan according to your requirements, and we only carried it out together after Chairman Jiang approved it. I didn't act on my own initiative at all."
Guo Jiuxiao's tone was calm.
