"You may not care about living, but don't strip away the desire to survive in others."
Xu Hao said indifferently, "Qiuzi, you speak."
Qiuzi glanced at the other three people, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, but he still said, "I'm sorry, I want to live too. I'm young; I don't want to die, and about the kidnap of Chen Suyi, I actually didn't want to do it—she's my idol after all."
Another masked person angrily cursed, "You were the most eager about the kidnapping of Chen Suyi. You weren't originally on the mission list, but you insisted on applying to join. The higher-ups let you in because you were competent. Do you think we didn't know what you were thinking? You just wanted to take this chance to meet Chen Suyi and try to get close to her, didn't you?"
Since everyone had already fallen out, naturally, there was no giving face to each other. They began accusing one another, and in a blink of an eye, the place had turned into a marketplace.
Xu Hao issued a cold command, instantly silencing everyone as they lowered their heads, not daring to meet Xu Hao's eyes.
When facing a life-or-death crisis, initially they could face it fearlessly, but when someone's defenses collapsed and they began to beg for mercy, their defenses shattered one after another.
When facing danger, everyone was holding their breath, but once any one of them let it out, everyone's breath would dissipate as well.
This is why during interrogations, they usually let the prisoners compete with each other.
On one hand, there's the threat of death, and on the other, the lure of earning their life if they speak first.
No person is perfect, even if all are rigorously trained suicide soldiers, their willpower still varies in strength. Some may indeed be unable to withstand this dual pressure and ultimately collapse mentally, spilling all the beans, just like shaking out wheat.
Xu Hao said coldly, "Starting with Qiuzi, one by one! Whoever speaks well, comprehensively, and in detail, I will let that person go! Remember, there is only one survival slot. Who lives in the end depends on each of your performances."
Qiuzi immediately took the lead in speaking, spilling everything thoroughly.
Two whole hours later, Xu Hao left the room satisfied. As he was leaving, he said to the manager at the door, "Manager Zhu, clean up those few corpses."
Since acquiring Blue Sky Airlines, Xu Hao had Wang Zhong replace certain key personnel at the seemingly inconspicuous but strategically important locations of Blue Sky Airlines with Xu Family intelligence operatives.
Blue Sky Airlines had operations across over a dozen countries and regions worldwide. Although they're just airports, if looked at as a whole, these can turn each airport into a spying hub placed strategically in different locations.
These hubs—also called points—in the back of these, the Xu Family intelligence operatives could extend their intelligence-gathering operations far and wide.
Therefore, when Wang Zhong knew that Xu Hao was acquiring Blue Sky Airlines, he was instantly overjoyed. This showed that Xu Hao, even inadvertently, was helping to expand the range of the Xu Family's intelligence operations, which was a great thing!
And this Manager Zhu was one of the Xu Family's leading intelligence operatives stationed in Fusang Country.
This was why, even as Xu Hao killed those men inside the room, Manager Zhu was not surprised at all.
Xu Hao let out a long sigh, a flash of cold light flickering momentarily in his eyes.
These Fusang people are really bold!
Xu Hao originally thought only Islanders were interested in the Immortal Bone. To his surprise, even the Fusang people had begun to covet the Immortal Bone. Visit My Virtual Library Empire (*) for more.
But they didn't consider their own strengths. The Island Country at least had some strength, though it seemed to have quieted down. Still, their family forces were truly strong.
And Fusang? They barely had three Grandmaster Level Experts. Even if there were ones in secret, they definitely wouldn't exceed a handful. With just that level of strength, they also wanted a piece of the Immortal Bone?
However, the forces behind these four masked men in black did indeed belong to a single Grandmaster Level Expert, but that force also just had him at the helm.
Xu Hao walked to the next room's door without immediately pushing it open. Listening, he discovered Chen Suyi had woken up. Xu Hao guessed she was probably lying on the bed as she occasionally chatted with Anna: "Anna, let me tell you, Xu Hao is a brute. You talked so much just now, but don't forget, that's because you haven't provoked him. Otherwise, he would definitely give you a beating."
Anna scratched her head, puzzled, and said, "But, why would I provoke Brother? He's so good to me, I wouldn't want to make him mad at all."
"But... but don't forget, he is a brute who likes to abuse people. Just see, those people were definitely terribly abused by him," Chen Suyi said, unable to find any excuse before finally starting to make things up.
