It was just a momentary pause.
The melodious minuet playing in the corridor came to an abrupt halt.
"...Don't be afraid, I'm coming."
From the speakers that had been playing the music, Cui Que's calm voice slowly rose: "I've already been calling for a backup floating car, which will be here in one minute and twenty seconds. The ride will take eleven minutes, and I will break through the window when I arrive... Three minutes, that should be just enough time."
"—You mustn't come!"
The Inferior's eyes flickered with real anger, "It's absolutely too late, this is a conspiracy—"
But Cui Que didn't hesitate to interrupt him: "I'm the minister, my word is final. I'm the best Spiritual Energy hacker on Happiness Island, and if I can't unlock it, then no one can.
"We can't stand by and let innocent Victims be sacrificed... not even one. Otherwise, wouldn't we truly become the company's dogs?"
But it's not the same—
The Inferior wanted to argue.
