The manager's face showed a hint of hesitation, but it quickly turned into determination. Gritting his teeth, he said, "As long as you can protect my life, I will definitely provide you with more useful information."
"Because those people, apart from me, don't want anyone else to act arbitrarily. Don't look at me as just a manager of the talent market; this has been my disguised identity for years."
"If I get news about those people, I'll tell you immediately, and those guys will show up in person before long."
"I know you definitely want to find them. As long as you can help me, I absolutely won't let you down. This is a deal between you and me."
Mu Feng's smile grew more pronounced. "I have plenty of means to make you honestly spill all these matters. Why should I make a deal with you? Why should I help you when I can get what I want with ease?"
"If you can't rephrase your answer and give me a clear one, then you don't need to exist any longer."
Hearing this, the manager's complexion changed drastically. His eyes held disbelief. He hadn't expected Mu Feng to have no interest in this information. In his opinion, Mu Feng clearly didn't take the matter seriously at all.
Otherwise, Mu Feng would never have been so playful.
He looked at the manager as if he could see through his very thoughts. The manager's expression gradually contorted into a sinister twist. "Mu Feng, this is your last chance. If you think you can arrogantly extract information from me, I don't mind smashing my head here. I believe that no matter how strong your abilities are, you can't bring back someone who is determined to die."
"Do you know I am also a martial artist? I cannot be easily manipulated by you. I can sever my own meridians. I have countless ways to kill myself right in front of you."
Mu Feng's smile became even more obvious. His eyes held a brilliant gleam. "Alright, then you can try now and see if you can die in front of me."
Upon hearing this, the manager gritted his teeth. He knew that continuing to talk with Mu Feng was useless. Without hesitation, he directly mobilized the internal energy within him.
In that instant, his internal energy surged towards his heart meridians, directly severing them. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his face contorted into a terrifying grimace.
"Mu Feng, even if you die, you won't know who is behind you."
"Those people will eventually be like maggots on bone, constantly harassing you. I believe they will send you to hell. We'll meet again then, and you'll definitely regret it."
As he spoke these words, blood continued to pour from his mouth. His eyes were filled with malevolent hatred.
If he were given another chance, he would never appear before Mu Feng. The moment he saw Mu Feng, he would have fled immediately.
Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in this world. At this moment, his eyes were slowly losing focus, for he knew he was bound to die today. As long as he didn't have to endure a fate worse than death, this was his integrity.
However, in the very next moment, Mu Feng flicked out a silver needle and pressed it onto his body. Mu Feng's figure had already appeared before him. He produced several pills and shoved them into the manager's mouth.
The manager didn't even have time to react. The pills dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth.
Before he could utter a word, he felt a faint warmth flow through his body. His shattered body was actually slowly repairing itself. He suddenly widened his eyes, filled with disbelief and shock.
Because he had already shattered his own heart meridians, and Mu Feng could still heal him? What kind of divine prodigy was this?
His eyes held an awe that lingered long after.
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "How do you feel now?"
"I told you I wouldn't let you die. Even if you want to die, it has to be in the way I dictate, not by killing yourself in front of me."
Hearing this, the manager couldn't help but shiver. His gaze was filled with disbelief. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you've done all this, what of it? At most, you'll torture me until I wish I were dead. I will absolutely not tell you about the people behind me."
"Unless you directly agree to spare my life and swear upon it."
"And you must swear upon your martial heart. I don't believe in ordinary oaths, but with your martial heart, I believe you will keep your word."
Mu Feng's smile became even more pronounced, a hint of mockery appearing in his eyes. "Do you have a misunderstanding of your own life?"
"Or perhaps you have a misunderstanding of me?"
"You've already fallen into my grasp. You are the fish, and I am the blade. It's effortless for me to kill you. Furthermore, even if I wanted to torture you, no one would say a word against it."
"With just a slight movement, I can make you wish you were dead, make you suffer the most agonizing torments in this world. You might not believe me, but that's fine. We can talk slowly, as I have plenty of time."
"As for the people behind you, I believe you will tell me all about them honestly."
After he finished speaking, he flicked out several silver needles.
Originally, the manager had decided to resist to the death. At the very least, he wanted to rely on Mu Feng's martial heart to ensure his safety, so he wouldn't be discarded as a pawn by Mu Feng.
However, he didn't expect that in the next moment, his body was engulfed by an unbearable pain, as if countless ants were tearing at his flesh and gnawing at his marrow.
The pain at this moment had reached its zenith. He didn't have time to say anything. As he opened his mouth, he let out a heart-wrenching scream. However, as soon as the sound escaped, Mu Feng had already inserted a silver needle into his acupoint.
The nonchalant voice followed.
"Don't scream so tragically. There are still many people outside applying for jobs. Don't affect everyone's mood."
"Now, I'll give you one chance. Will you confess honestly, or resist to the end?"
