Staring at the phone in her hand, hatred filled Anna's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she pressed the green answer button. After the low-pixel screen flickered a few times, the brass puppet appeared on it.
"Miss Anna, you're still alive, which genuinely surprises me. You managed to escape from the singma-66 'Forest Hunter' and tau-2 'Red Eye' ambush."
The God of Shattering clearly knew why this happened. The other side betrayed Anna; it was a trap, a setup orchestrated by Shattering and the IMF.
Although Anna was now furious enough to tear his heart apart, she couldn't show it because she still wanted to use the other side to escape her predicament.
"Absorbing the anomaly is a minor issue. No matter what the IMF offers you, I can give you more."
"I'm sorry, I can't cooperate with you. I have no way back." The God of Shattering straightforwardly rejected Anna.
