Chapter 482

Raiden gradually put away the smile on his face, replacing it with a menacing, frosty expression.

“We missed out on someone who had made contact with the emerald seal in the middle of the transition. The real emerald seal is in that person's possession.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes. We missed out on someone? Is the emerald seal not with those people we captured? If that's the case, this is turning into a sticky situation.

“Those people should know the identity of this person we missed out on, right? Did you try to force the information out of them? These desperados are ready to give up their lives at any time, so you won't be able to get any intelligence out of them without resorting to underhanded methods.”

Raiden replied grimly, “We did, but our effort was for naught because they refused to divulge any information. That's why I came here to seek your advice on effective alternatives to make them cooperate with us.”

Bailey contemplated briefly before suggesting, “That person should've undergone rigorous and harsh training before becoming a special agent. Since you've failed to force the information out of them, that means torturing them will not be fruitful. You need to think of another approach.”

Here, she paused abruptly and narrowed her eyes at him. “You know I'm adept at hypnosis?”

Raiden raised his eyebrows in response. “I don't. I'm just here to try my luck, and it turns out you really do know. In that case, I'll have to invite you to tag along. I'm afraid you're obligated to help me out now.”

In fact, Raiden had no idea Bailey was equipped with hypnotizing skills, but since she seemed so capable in everything, he thought she might be proficient at hypnosis too.

He was unsure why he was so certain about the possibility either. If he must provide a reason, perhaps the best explanation would be that his behavior proved the saying of how people often viewed those they were romantically interested in with rose-colored glasses.

He fell for her, admired, and even loved her, so in his opinion, everything about her was great.

Bailey could not help but roll her eyes after hearing that. Then she uttered in resignation, “Aren't you a little presumptuous? I am also a fool for voluntarily admitting that I'm skilled in hypnosis.”
