"As long as you tell me who is behind the HST project, I will let you go, and I promise I won't trouble you," Ye Shikai said firmly.
"Really? But if at that time you decide to burn the bridge after crossing it, won't I still end up dead?" Aphrodite questioned.
"Indeed, you can choose not to trust me. After all, you have the lives of many of my brothers in your hands. Even if I spare you, others may not let you go. They may not follow my orders, but the promise you seek, I can give you. I can announce to everyone in the Underworld to stop hunting you down. However, whether they follow my command is another matter."
"But you should be very clear, if you don't tell me, or choose to deliberately delay, I will kill you, and in the most cruel way. In other words, if you choose to tell me, at least the Three Temples will not be your enemy, but if you don't, you will die now."
"Make your choice, you're a smart person."
