Chapter 28

Su Quan patted Dottie Underwood on the shoulder; her performance was very submissive, without the slightest evasion or resistance.

This was the truest expression of her inner submission.

"Do you want to leave this place and see what the world has become fifty or sixty years later?"

Dottie Underwood, who had just found inner stability, was stunned; her brain had lost the ability to command her actions, and she stood there like a wooden statue, staring blankly at Su Quan with both eyes.

What does this mean? He—he can leave the Void???

Dottie Underwood turned her head in disbelief to look at the elderly Loki.

"Yes, he can!" The elderly Loki confirmed her guess with a calm expression.

Isn't it said that the Void is the final end?

Isn't it said that no one can leave the Void?

I haven't read much, don't lie to me!

"For us, the Void is a cage from which we can never escape; we either die or wait to die."

"But for him, the Void is a backyard where he can come and go as he pleases. Now you know why I collected those useless 'trash' you mentioned, right?"

The useless trash referred to dollars and gold and silver jewelry.

Dottie Underwood took a deep breath, suppressed her shocked and restless mood, and calmly stated her answer.

"I will follow your arrangements."

Su Quan held Dottie Underwood with one hand and summoned Lei Lei Shenzhichui back with the other.

"You only have one chance to betray me."

Su Quan's voice rang out.

Dottie Underwood had just wanted to express her stance when she suddenly realized they had appeared on the roof of a high-rise building.

Looking into the distance, she saw buildings lined up in rows, vehicles shuttling through crisscrossing streets, and pedestrians coming and going.

Everything in sight was prosperous and lively, beautiful and charming.

"You gave me a new life; I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely will not betray you!"

Dottie Underwood might not know the meme about saying important things three times, but she knew how to better express her meaning.

"Ever heard of a Leap of Faith?" Su Quan walked to the edge of the roof and suddenly asked.

Dottie Underwood shook her head.

"Jump down."

"Okay."

Dottie Underwood didn't ask anything, there was no hesitation on her face, she took a running start with her long legs and jumped down directly from Su Quan's side.

This building was over ten stories high; jumping down meant certain death!

However, Dottie Underwood jumped; without hesitation, she jumped without looking back.

Although she knew she must have realized this was a test for her and that he wouldn't really let her fall to her death, this decisiveness and obedience were truly astonishing!

The wind whistled, Dottie Underwood watched the ground getting closer and closer, and there was no fear or worry on her face.

Just as she was about to perish, a pair of strong and powerful arms caught her from below.

The abrupt stop of the fall made her let out a soft, pained grunt, but a triumphant smile curled on her lips.

She had bet correctly!

Even if it were a ten-thousand-foot building, as long as you say the word, I will jump down without hesitation!

This jump had earned her trust and proven her value.

"This is Manhattan, New York, one of the frontiers of this era. Go explore on your own, buy some decent clothes, and when you're done, come back here to find me; I have a mission for you."

Su Quan took out a bank card and told her the password.

The cash in the Void didn't necessarily come from which timeline or universe; even if it was real money, there was a possibility it couldn't be spent.

"Okay."

Dottie Underwood smiled, took the bank card, chose a direction, and left full of anticipation.

In the Void, Su Quan asked her if she wanted to leave and see what the world was like fifty or sixty years later; how did she answer?

I will follow your arrangements!

Just now, Su Quan told her to go explore on her own, buy some decent clothes, and come back to find him when she was done; how did she answer?

Okay!

This was a sign that their relationship had progressed further.

The establishment of any relationship goes from strange to familiar, from reserved to at ease.

She had gained initial trust and proven her value, formally establishing a stable superior-subordinate relationship.

This 'familiar' mode would naturally make her mindset and behavior gradually become relaxed and at ease.

When she returned, Su Quan planned to inject her with the Super Soldier Serum, letting her expand his territory and train personnel for him.

The Red Room's training methods still had some merits.

Su Quan, preparing to fly up and wait for her, caught a glimpse of a foot sticking out from behind a trash can not far away.

Someone hiding behind the trash can?

Su Quan walked over curiously to investigate, but the person behind the trash can seemed to hear him approaching, shouted in a panic, turned around, and ran for their life.

"I didn't see anything, don't chase me!"

Su Quan chuckled, not knowing whether to praise this person for being smart or stupid.

You could have just run, why shout? I wasn't planning on chasing you, but with that shout, it's as if you really saw something unspeakable; now I have to chase you!

Isn't this like saying "there is no silver buried here"?

Figures crossed, positions shifted, and the moment the shout fell, Su Quan appeared directly in front of her, blocking her path.

"Ah—"

The girl in jeans and a baseball jacket was caught off guard, bumped into Su Quan, and fell backward onto the ground.
