People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

The atmosphere, which had just relaxed due to Jeston's defeat, instantly became tense again because of Saria's words.

"As Jason's former accomplice and an undercover agent planted by the Beach Umbrella Company, are you going to resist now or leave obediently?" Saria asked.

Hemer poked half of his head out from behind Qi Yan and asked with a strange look on his face: "When did you join the Beach Umbrella Company?"

"It does not matter."

Qi Yan grinned, grabbed He Mo's shoulders and pushed her in front of him: "You are my hostage now, shut up and don't resist."

Hemer looked up at Qi Yan, totally confused as to why Qi Yan didn't explain himself quickly at this time but instead started to act out.

Saria frowned.

She was also puzzled. Qi Yan's identity had been exposed, so why did Hemer still stay by Qi Yan's side with that silly look on his face?

Even though Qi Yan's hand on Hemer's shoulder was not exerting any strength at the moment, he could escape with just a slight struggle.

Qi Yan also realized that his hostage-taking was too simple.

He turned around and winked at his sister.

Qi Lin condensed an ice crystal dagger with an expressionless face and threw it over.

Qi Yan caught the ice crystal dagger and pressed it against Hemer's neck.

The cool breath made Hemer's neck shrink, and he raised his hand to push Qi Yan's hand away.

"Hey, don't move, you are a hostage now!"

"But it's very cold!"

The two men were in a stalemate for a moment, and finally found a distance that looked threatening but would not make Hemer uncomfortable.

The confusion on Saria's resolute face grew more and more intense.

Qi Yan didn't care about that. He raised his chin to Saria and got to the point:

“Actually, my purpose in coming to the prison this time, besides taking Anthony away, is to wait for you, Director Saria.

I am very interested in your Rhine Life's Balrog Project, could you tell me a little bit about it?"

Saria subconsciously looked at Hemer and found that the latter's face was also full of surprise.

She immediately realized that this girl from Liberi had been kept in the dark once again.

"I'm sorry I can't tell you because I'm not involved in this plan." Saria said expressionlessly.

"Who would believe you if you said that?"

Qi Yan sneered and said viciously: "Everyone knows that you, Saria, are not only the director of the defense department of Rhine Life, but also a good friend of Rhine Life's general manager Kristen. The two of you can talk about anything and are the people who trust each other the most."

"I don't know where you heard these rumors, but they are all in the past."

Saria's eyes gradually turned cold.

Facing Saria's increasingly dangerous gaze, Qi Yan shrank his neck and quickly waved the dagger twice in front of Hemer's neck, indicating that he still had a hostage in his hand and warned Saria not to act rashly.

Hemer tilted his head as if he was standing aside, with a puzzled expression:

"With your strength, why do you still need to hold me hostage..."

"Tsk, you're a hostage, be quiet!"

Qi Yan tapped Hemer's forehead gently.

This action made Saria move, and she almost attacked on the spot.

Qi Yan hurriedly put the dagger against Hemer's neck again.

Hemer didn't understand what was going on, so he just raised his hand again to push the dagger away a little.

"Well, let me ask it another way."

Seeing that Hemer had no acting skills at all, Qi Yan had to grit his teeth and continue to lead the topic: "During the experimental stage of the Flame Demon Project, your Defense Department provided the design and supply of a large number of protective devices. You can't deny this.

Those documents all have your personal signature, Director Saria! "

This time, Hemer's attention was finally completely attracted, and he looked straight at Saria.

Qi Yan is right.

Because this information was obtained by Hemer himself through secret investigation. Although she didn't know how Qi Yan knew it, she didn't care. She was more concerned about Saria's response.

Facing the gazes of Qi Yan and Hemer, Saria's expression was a little stiff.

She gritted her teeth, nodded and admitted: "I provided those devices. If you want, I can give them to you. In exchange, you must let go of Hemer."

"Tsk, you guy."

Qi Yan was so angry that his teeth ached.

There was an expression of disappointment and even hatred on Hemer's face that was hard to conceal.

"Let me put it another way!" Qi Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Did you approve those devices even though you knew they were going to be supplied to the Flame Demon Project?"

"Ok?"

Saria clearly felt that Qi Yan's question was pointed out.

"you want……"

"Shut up, you diamond-headed dragon girl, and answer my question, yes or no!"

Qi Yan was furious. He grabbed the feathers on Hemer's head and put the dagger directly on it, making a "fatal" threat.

Saria's fists tightened instantly, and even made a creaking sound.

Her orange eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, and white calcium quietly condensed:

“No, I thought it was just an ordinary fire prevention project, so I chose to approve it. I didn’t know about the Fire Demon Project from the beginning to the end until Ifrit got out of control.

Before that, I was busy tracking down who was using Ifrit for human experiments, until I finally found that the clues led to Christen. After I rescued Ifrit, I ran to find Christen, and we had a complete falling out, so I left Rhine Life and joined Rhodes Island.

Are you satisfied with this?"

Saria was obviously really anxious, and she spouted off a long string of explanations.

Qi Yan let out a long breath and felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

Hemer in front of him was stunned and subconsciously rushed towards Saria.

This action frightened Qi Yan so much that his hands trembled, and he quickly moved the dagger away, narrowly avoiding Hemer's neck.

Hemer had no intention of paying attention to the danger just now and walked quickly towards Saria, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped.

Qi Yan was so angry that his stomach ached when he saw this. He ran over and pushed Hemer in front of Saria:

“Why are you hesitating? I’ll tell you straight out that although Saria has always been entangled with Rhine Life, she has indeed not participated in any excessive experiments.

Christen knows Saria's character well, so she won't tell her these things proactively. Saria has been trying to save Rhine's life in her own way, so her whereabouts are confusing.

Of course, the most important thing is that Saria cares about Ifrit and you from the bottom of her heart, without any conflicts of interest involved!"

Hemer turned his head to look at Qi Yan, then looked at Saria: "So that's how it is."

Saria: “…”

She looked at Qi Yan strangely and said, "I don't know how you got this information. I thought I was keeping it secret enough.

Besides, who are you? How could Hemer trust you so much? She still doubted me after I explained so much, but because of your words..."

Saria didn't continue talking because she felt that her words were getting weirder and weirder.

Without Qi Yan saying anything, Hemer took the initiative to explain Qi Yan's identity as a fellow Rhodes Islander and his behavioral habits.

By the end, Hemer became more and more angry and almost turned his explanation into a criticism meeting against Qi Yan's various actions.

Qi Yan didn't care about these details. He retreated back to his sister's side and silently watched the once frozen relationship between Hemer and Saria slowly melt away.

"Woo woo, that's so good."

Qi Yan had an exaggerated expression of emotion on his face, and he raised his hand and stuffed the ice crystal dagger into his mouth.
