Chapter 689: Equal Trade?! Then… Let

When a ferocious stance plus a thick killing intent appears, the effect is outstanding.

The people inside the cage sprinted wildly, daring not to linger a moment.

The speed is so fast it somewhat exceeds human limits.

Su Yang can hardly imagine how these pale, gaunt, chronically malnourished people could possess such tremendous burst power.

In the blink of an eye, they vanish from sight.

"Dealing with people full of servility… still works with harsh words." Su Yang twirled the Small Knife, his gaze shifting to another cage.

The person inside, seeing that Su Yang truly does not kill the slaves, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Once the key is inserted into the lock and turned twice, before Su Yang even opens it, the people inside swarm out, pushing Su Yang back several steps.

"The legs are really swift, and the strength is great."

He pats the dust off his clothes and walks toward the next cage.

Liang Kaiji stared dumbfounded, taking in everything that just happened, and hurried forward to ask, "What on earth are you doing?"

"Saving people," Su Yang replied.

"These are slaves; what does their life or death have to do with you?"

"Their life or death indeed has nothing to do with me, but I seek an achievement."

"What?"

Liang Kaiji froze for a moment, then quickly reacted, reaching to snatch the key from Su Yang's hand.

He had anticipated this, and suddenly grasped her wrist, his voice growing cold, "This is my achievement; please watch your actions."

Liang Kaiji, unwilling to relent, said firmly, "What you obtained in the Secret Room is certainly more than this; why not give me the key and let me unlock this achievement."

"In return, I will tell you more secrets about the dead!"

"I indeed didn't guess wrong; you saw more scenes of the dead's fate within the Dream."

"Exactly." Liang Kaiji admitted calmly, "And I can guarantee this information is explosive enough, its value matches or even exceeds that of this key!"

Su Yang considered briefly, then asked, "Do you want this achievement that could become a Hidden Achievement?"

"It's a must-have!" Liang Kaiji's eyes flashed with determination.

If it weren't for an SS Rating or even higher scoring, she would never have held out until now.

She would never have taken out her Hole Cards to trade.

"But how would I know whether you'll cheat me?" Su Yang retorted.

"Just find a notary, and it's done."

"You mean… Li Zhenhua?"

"Who else besides him."

"That won't do." Su Yang shook his head in refusal.

Liang Kaiji knit her brows, thinking this guy truly is stubborn.

Before she could speak up, Su Yang said, "The key I barely obtained, the intelligence it bought, can't be shared with others?"

"Li Zhenhua got an important piece of intelligence for free without doing anything; that's too much of a loss for me."

"What would make you willing to hand it over?" Liang Kaiji stared intently at Su Yang's eyes.

Su Yang twirled the key, a teasing glint in his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, the Maid's relationship with the dead is extraordinary."

"As one of them, fulfilling the dead's long‑held wish may be the Unlock Condition for the Hidden Achievement."

"So as long as you release them all, the SS Rating is guaranteed."

"Just a single message for such a huge payoff, this transaction is actually unequal."

"How about this: you kill Tang Youning and bring his head as exchange."

"How does that sound?"

Liang Kaiji, furious, "You clearly know killing is prohibited in the game!"

"And you also clearly know I'm a selfish person." Su Yang smiled faintly.

Liang Kaiji was taken aback, her face sour, "So you're not intending to earnestly make this deal?"

"The conditions have been given; how you carry them out is your business." Su Yang shrugged indifferently and continued:

"To you it's a Hidden Achievement; to me it isn't."

"Five Faith Points for a head, I'm happy to do that."

"You should know clearly the gap between Five Faith Points and One Hundred Faith Points."

"Moreover, the scoring reward will increase accordingly."

"No matter how this deal is done… I'm the one taking a loss."

"While you only need to kill a person, that's all."

Liang Kaiji forced herself to hold back the urge to curse, "I can't do it!"

"Then there's nothing we can do; this key… I'm sorry, I can't comply."

With those words, Liang Kaiji was instantly infuriated, her chest heaving violently.

Yet she still didn't give up, trying to argue further.

This is her only chance!

"Are you sure you're so resolute?" Liang Kaiji said, her tone tinged with a hint of threat.

"I, Su, speak no falsehoods and keep my word; Miss Liang, if you cannot do it, please leave." Su Yang opened a cage and released another batch of slaves.

Liang Kaiji's expression wavered, and she snorted coldly, "You'll regret this!"

After speaking, she flicked her hand away and left, her face like an iceberg, cold to the bone.

Su Yang watched her departing silhouette, letting out a light laugh, "Who knows who will regret it."

The final letter he obtained played a decisive role.

It was enough to overturn the whole situation.

He has already seen through everything, and also controls everything.

The upcoming vote…

Will be his hunting moment!

With the little time left, Su Yang released all dozens of Slave.

Finally arriving at Ariana's cage, he gave a faint Smile, "Long wait."

"Thank you, sir. God will protect you," Ariana said, pressing her palms together.

"If you're going to thank, just thank honestly; I don't believe in any damn God," Su Yang opened the cage door.

Ariana shuffled out slowly, feeling the long‑missed emptiness, and her eyes involuntarily became moist.

"You are free," Su Yang said softly.

"Miss Diana's spirit in the heavens must be very happy," Ariana's voice was tinged with a few sobs.

"She will," Su Yang nodded slightly.

Ariana wiped the Tears from the Corner of Eye, looked up and showed a hint of Smile, "I haven't asked, sir, what your name is."

"My name is Su Yang."

"Thank you."

As the time approached eight o'clock, five players were already seated in the Reception Hall.

Everyone's demeanors differed, they sneaked glances at each other, and the atmosphere solidified.

Meanwhile, Liang Kaiji at the table wore a gloomy complexion, almost dripping water.

She was extremely angry now, eager to find an outlet to vent.

"Sorry for the long wait, everyone."

At that moment, Su Yang, with a Smile at the Mouth corner, walked in.

"You finally agreed to step forward," Tang Youning said coldly.

"Unlocking the Achievement took some time; I hope I'm not late?" Su Yang turned his head to glance at the clock.

As soon as the words fell, the shadow on Liang Kaiji's face deepened a few more degrees.

Boom—

As the bell rang, the broadcast voice streamed out in succession.

"The voting phase begins; players have thirty minutes of Free Discussion Time, and when the time is up they may raise their hands to vote!"

Bang!

Su Yang placed the blood‑stained Cloth Bag on the table, folded his hands under his chin, and said calmly:

"All six are present; this absurd farce should now end."

"Then…"

"Let's begin!"
