Chapter 176: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 83
Lin Shuangshuang didn’t believe Li Man would reveal all the information she knew, but she had to share at least seventy percent of the truth to gain the trust of them. As for analyzing which parts of Li Man’s information were genuine, that was Zhang Ling’s job!
"Sister Shuangshuang, what do you think? You really don’t have to be so guarded against me. If I wasn’t truly desperate, I wouldn’t have come to seek your cooperation. After all, we didn’t part on good terms last time, and your abilities far surpass mine. Killing me would be effortless for you!"
Li Man laughed helplessly, "I’m practically walking into the lion’s den by coming here, but I had no other choice. Honestly, I had many companions when I entered here, but now it’s just me and Shuyi left. If we don’t find someone to help, we can’t even leave here, let alone get the energy stone."
Seeing that Lin Shuangshuang was unmoved, Li Man, anxious, continued to laugh helplessly, "Sister Shuangshuang, I’m truly at my wit’s end coming to you. If I harm you, it would be like harming myself. I wouldn’t do anything so foolish. The reason I came is to leave here alive and because I refuse to leave empty-handed after losing so many companions and paying such a high price. So, the initiative in our deal isn’t in my hands but yours. Given this, what is there for you to guard against? I have no leverage at all and can’t compete with you."
Li Man’s words were quite persuasive and stirring. If Lin Shuangshuang wasn’t well aware of Li Man’s nature, she might have been convinced by her.
"If you’re undecided, I can step away, and you can just inform me of your decision once you’ve reached one." Seeing Lin Shuangshuang remain silent, Li Man considerately added and then decisively turned to retreat with Jia Shuyi.
Lin Shuangshuang unceremoniously shut the mobile security fortress’s door, thoroughly cutting off the possibility of Li Man eavesdropping. Lin Shuangshuang didn’t trust Li Man not to spy on their conversation.
She turned back to exchange glances with the others, and after a long pause, Lin Shuangshuang took the lead and spoke, "What do you think about Li Man’s proposal?"
