"You can certainly choose not to believe me, but your assassination attempt has already failed. If I let you go back now, you’ll be walking to your death. Besides, I am no fool; I’m not about to let you walk away that easily."

Xiao Chen was truly a clever man; with a single sentence, he struck directly at the heart of Bailian’s concerns. Bailian knew full well this was the case, which only deepened his anxiety.

Although Medicine King Valley wouldn’t kill their agents outright, they would simply withhold the antidote.

Therefore, even if some tasks went against his conscience, Bailian had no way out.
