As Pei Yan was furiously venting at Gu Shenghui on the playground, far away at the Divine Desire Secret Base deep in the Sichuan Min Mountain, Pei Jin lay leisurely on a comfortable large bed, leisurely flipping through the novel in her hands.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching from the doorway, Pei Jin turned over and sat up. Sure enough, after a while, there was a knock at the door: "Miss Pei, is it convenient? May I co in!"
"Co in!"
With Pei Jin's permission, the door was pushed open, and Mr. Mu in casual attire and the smiling Su Xiang appeared at the door. After walking slowly into the room, Mr. Mu looked around at the environnt before finally looking at Pei Jin and smiling, "Miss Pei, are you satisfied with the environnt here? Is the food to your liking? If there is anything you need, feel free to ask! We will do our best to et your needs!"
"It's okay! The bed is very comfortable, and the food is not bad, just a bit greasy. If possible, I'd like sothing lighter. Also, it's a bit stuffy here; I hope it can be improved if possible. And I'd like a computer." Pei Jin put down the book in her hand on the table, showing no consciousness of being a prisoner, and boldly stated her demands.
Mr. Mu stood with his hands behind his back, nodding repeatedly at her words until he heard the last request, whereupon a touch of difficulty appeared on his face. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "There's no problem with the food; I'll instruct the kitchen tonight. If Miss Pei has any dishes she wants, just let us know. As for the stuffiness, I hope Miss Pei can understand, as it is a mountainous area after all. I'll have two electric fans sent to you. Regarding the computer, Miss Pei, isn't that asking a bit much?"
"You're overthinking it. You can get a computer that can't connect to the internet, with so standalone gas installed. I'm usually busy with work and don't have leisure ti to relax. Now that you've brought here, I'll take it as a vacation. This request isn't excessive, right?" Pei Jin propped her elbow on the table and looked at Mr. Mu, shrugging.
"Oh, I see. That's not excessive at all! Not one bit! I'll get right on it for you, uh, as for the ga, I'm not very familiar with that!" At this point, Mr. Mu turned his head to look at Su Xiang and instructed, "Xiaosu, you handle it, let Miss Pei make a list and try to satisfy her!"
"Yes!" Su Xiang bowed slightly and said respectfully.
After taking care of all that, Mr. Mu turned back to Pei Jin, spread his hands, and asked, "Miss Pei, is there anything else you need?"
"No, that's it. I just want to ask how long your organization plans to keep captive!" Pei Jin tilted her head and asked with a smile.
"Calling it captivity is too harsh. Our organization highly values you and your brother. Your abilities shouldn't be wasted. I'm sincerely inviting Miss Pei to join the Divine Desire Organization. Here, you can have everything you desire: money, power, eternal youth, even immortality!"
"Alright! Alright! I know everything you're saying!" Listening to Mr. Mu's near-preach sermon, Pei Jin waved her hand impatiently, rubbed her temples, and said helplessly, "Actually, I'm just an unexpected prize you used to capture my brother, right!"
"Miss Pei is joking. Your abilities indeed exceeded our expectations, which has only increased your importance in our eyes. Believe , if you join Divine Desire, we will certainly offer you benefits far beyond your imagination!" Mr. Mu said sincerely and earnestly.
"I don't really care, but my brother has a stubborn temper and has already sided with the investigation bureau. Whether he will co or not, I can't say!" After speaking, Pei Jin gently stroked the cover of the book on the table and murmured to herself.
"He will definitely co!"
After the conversation, Mr. Mu and Su Xiang strolled down the corridor one after the other. Mr. Mu, no longer smiling, asked in a deep voice, "Is her power really as formidable as you say?"
"Yes! This point can be proven by Mr. Shitang!" Su Xiang replied with his head down.
"He proved it, but he also said you stood by while his subordinates were slaughtered by the enemy!" Mr. Mu stopped, turned back, and stared into Su Xiang's eyes, asking aningfully.
Hearing this, Su Xiang shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "I know Mr. Shitang and I don't get along, and I know the organization doesn't trust . But the fact is, in this battle, without , Mr. Shitang Longsi could not have completed it. Mr. Mu, you know that my ability takes ti to activate. It was only because I managed to control the enemy's main force that the battle ended, successfully bringing back Miss Pei! You can't bla for Mr. Shitang's subordinates' incompetence."
"Well said, very well said! Then please tell , the ritorious Mr. Su Xiang, how did you capture soone capable of seriously injuring Shitang Longsi?" Mr. Mu tilted his head slightly, his lips curling in a mocking smile. Seeing Su Xiang's shifting face, he continued to pursue, "You borrowed soone else's power, right?"
"Yes, I don't deny that I...!"
Before Su Xiang could finish his sentence, he felt an overwhelming pressure assault him, as if each nerve in his brain was about to snap. He struggled to support himself, but it was in vain. His legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"When Mr. Mu transferred that thing here, he instructed you to never communicate with the girl in the tank. I think you've long forgotten that, right! Using her power felt wonderful, didn't it! Addicted? Did she tempt you with sothing, huh? Did she say she could grant you power!" Mr. Mu crouched down, looking at Su Xiang, who was breathless and red-faced on the ground, interrogating him.
"No, no, I did everything for the organization. I only, I only had a brief conversation with her. The matter was also handled when she was asleep, using the base's Secret Technique to forcibly split the power from her body. I have video evidence!" By the end, Su Xiang was lying on the ground like a pile of mud, saliva dribbling from his lips, limbs twitching.
"Ah! That's good. I advise you to stay away from that lord and the Pei Family Siblings. They are powers you cannot touch. Don't worry; the organization sees your efforts and will grant you new abilities at the appropriate ti! But you must not force it, understand?"
"Understood! Understood!"
"Try to et Pei Jin's requests as much as possible, but there's no need for you to handle the computer. I'll find soone specialized to do it!"
"Yes!"
After a while, with Mr. Mu's footsteps growing distant, Su Xiang, who was crawling on the ground, coughed repeatedly as if he were drowning, gasping for air, his hands propping him up while watching saliva drip from his mouth onto the ground. Feeling the humiliation brought by the other's overpowering strength, Su Xiang clenched his fists tightly; he would return double everything he had endured!
He would surely stand at the pinnacle of the world!
That night, after Mu and Su Xiang had left, Pei Jin lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling, humming a little tune out of boredom. Feeling a breeze brush past, she casually whispered, "You've arrived!"
"Yes! I've arrived!"
