I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 708, Section 2.6: The Apostle
Ji Rong glanced at Shui Qi with his captivating peach blossom eyes, chuckled, and said, "If the information above is complete, there's no need for this meeting; we could just give us the data directly. You agree, right, Ming Jin?"

"Originally, I planned to show you the documents as Shui Qi suggested." Ming Jin took out a lollipop but didn't immediately unwrap it. She just looked down at it, seemingly lost in thought.

“You said it yourself, it’s the original,” Ji Rong reminded him.

Ming Jin chuckled and said, "Yes, originally. But because Lingdang found some unexpected information, we changed the topic of what we said at the meeting to be information about the Seven Deadly Sins Lords and Apostles."

"Now that you say that, I'm curious. I wonder if your intelligence is more comprehensive than what our two associations have investigated," Horus said slowly, tapping the table lightly.

"Why don't we try exchanging them and see?" Ming Jin asked Horus.

“Mingjin, you can’t just get something for nothing. Some intelligence we’ve worked so hard to gather isn’t something we can just exchange with others,” Horus said, narrowing his eyes meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yegui knew that these people had steered the conversation towards her. After all, she hadn't provided them with any information from beginning to end, so their dissatisfaction was understandable.

"What do you want to know?" Mu Yegui asked.

“Weakness,” Horus said.

"I don't know." Mu Yegui slammed the file shut, turned to look at Horus, and said softly.

"Then, what is the exact number of Apostles?" Horus asked again.

"Let's try another one," Mu Yegui said, shaking his head.

Ji Rong sighed, stirring her coffee in a helpless tone, and said, "This is all you have. It's going too far to refuse to say anything. Mu Yegui, do you even remember which side you're on now?"

"Using the information I know to extract information you don't have, which side is going too far?" The cold silver eyes remained devoid of emotion as always, and the tone was flat with little fluctuation, clearly indicating that he didn't care much about the matter.

Ming Jin sensed the increasingly tense situation in the conference room. He simply stroked the wrapper of the lollipop in his hand, showing absolutely no intention of getting involved. Although he felt it was unnecessary, for those who had already established the association, mutual benefit was more useful and practical than a sense of allegiance. Of course, Mu Yegui's refusal was also within his expectations, after all, he knew Mu Yegui too well.

Under normal circumstances, Mu Yegui will almost always answer if you ask her, but that's only in general. In certain special situations, she is more difficult to get information out of you than anyone else, like in this situation now.

If it's information that neither party knows, Mu Yegui wouldn't mind exchanging it. However, if she already knows the other party's information and they use it to threaten her, she would 100% refuse to exchange it unless the other party shows sincerity first, which would be a way of returning the phrase "getting something for nothing" to them.

"Your intelligence isn't enough to make me reveal the information you want. In the spirit of equivalent exchange, I will only tell you information of equal value," Mu Yegui said slowly.

"Then why are you asking the hell out of the question!" The hot-tempered Cunxi exploded, grabbing the document and slamming it hard on the table.

Mu Yegui glanced at him as he watched his actions, and said quietly, "After all, I didn't expect you to be so... delusional."

"Cough cough," Ming Jin choked on his own saliva. He reminded her, "Um... we're running out of time... you guys want to finish early too, right? Ming Xi is waiting for me to go back for dinner. There's my favorite grilled fish today, and I really don't want to miss it."

Shui Qi rested his chin on his hand, his handsome face filled with boredom, and said, "Pick one you can talk about."

"You should know that the administrators of each kingdom are the lord's apostles, so what I'm about to say is about them. Since the administrator is a position, it's not that the other apostles don't have their own roles. I can only reveal one thing: perhaps the other positions will change accordingly, but there are two positions that will always remain unchanged. Besides the administrator, there is also the assassin position, which is specifically for killing prey that the lord doesn't like."

“I haven’t found any apostles who seem like assassins.” Cunxi frowned, her expression very serious.

“Assassins are all about assassination. If you were to investigate their identities, that would be a dereliction of duty on their part. It would be normal if they couldn’t find out.” Shui Qi didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. However, since Mu Yegui said that, she must know who among the Apostles held the assassination positions. Even if not all of them, there must be a few.

"Who are some of the assassins you know?" Ji Rong asked.

Mu Yegui took out a poster and placed it on the table, saying softly, "That depends on what you can offer to buy this information."

Shui Qi leaned closer for a look and exclaimed in surprise, "Underground ruins have been discovered in the Kingdom of Sin, suspected to be from the Lasomethrin civilization... the most popular tourist destination this month..."

"You want to go?" Shui Qi looked at Mu Yegui with puzzled eyes. "The Lasomethmian civilization is the Divine Dynasty we went to in the Flower Crown instance. I need Shui Qi, Noyce, Daolin, and Mingxi, the original members of the Flower Crown instance." Mu Yegui lowered her eyes. In fact, she didn't say that Mu Yin would go to this instance in her place.

“Okay,” Horus agreed.

"I have no objection." Ji Rong nodded.

Mu Yegui held up his hand and made a three-pointing gesture, saying, "I know of three assassins: [Lan], the personal maid of Wrathful Zhu Yan; [Dionysus], the high priest of Slothful Lanlos; and [Xue Man], one of the twin guards of Gluttonous Rongyi. The former Mr. Lustful Adele and his administrator were captured because of a little wine. Although the other two were not dispatched, their master told me the information himself."

In other words, Zhu Yan personally sold the orchid, and Rong Yi personally sold the snow-covered tree; both of them were betrayed by their own masters.

Mingjin didn't know whether to say they were too well hidden or that being betrayed by her own boss was even worse.

"What about jealousy and lust? Logically, you should be more familiar with them, right?" Horus asked with a light laugh.

"I'm sorry." Mu Yegui looked up at Horus and said three words softly, but there was nothing else to say.

Ming Jin glanced at everyone and reminded them, "I want to go back and eat Ming Xi's grilled fish. If you're all so free, could you wait until I finish eating before continuing?"

"Then let me explain briefly."

These lists of apostles are incomplete (none of them are complete), after all, no one would reveal all their cards.

The information in parentheses is supplementary information provided by the provider. Rong Yi's list of apostles is detailed because Ling Tong knows a lot about it, Xie Er's list is not detailed because Mu Yegui doesn't want to talk about it, and the others are not supplemented because they are unknown.
