On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

"Have a safe journey, and I hope you have a smooth trip this time," Ye Han said with a smile.

This trip was quite fruitful: a space containment chip, Queen Tonati's friendship, and a rainbow stone with white eyes.

Next, it's time for eye-rolling.

Ye Han walked toward the disheveled figure bound by chains at the foot of the rock wall.

Ye Han wouldn't just get rid of such a talented person so easily.

The White Eye is one of the Five Colored Eyes. Having been entrenched in the upper echelons for so many years, it has a deeper understanding of the internal workings and power structure of the Galaxy Eye than anyone else, as well as its intelligence accumulation on various forces.

Wouldn't it be a waste not to make use of it?

He rolled his eyes as Ye Han, who harbored ill intentions, approached step by step. For the first time, an undisguised fear surfaced in his cold eyes.

His back was pressed tightly against the rock wall, with no way to retreat, and the chains binding him made it difficult to move even slightly.

He practically shouted, "What do you think you're doing!"

You'll find out soon enough.

Ye Han used a smooth combo to stun him and then stripped his soul away.

Just like before, they took back a portion of the main soul and put the soul back in.

The whole process was clean and efficient.

After all, this wasn't the first time this had been done.

From now on, Baiyan's life and death will be in his hands. Not to mention betrayal, even the slightest intention to kill him will be detected.

When Byakugan woke up on the ground, he found that the chains binding him had disappeared.

He pushed himself up from the ground, looked down at himself, and moved his fingers to make sure he was still alive.

Ye Han said softly, "From today onwards, you will work for me. I can return the Rainbow Stone to you. You can continue to function as you always have within the Galaxy Eye, and continue to be your manager."

"But I will know your every move."

"One day in the future, when I've dealt with the Galaxy Eye's mastermind, I'll give you your freedom. Until then, you're my informant, the deepest nail I've planted in the Galaxy Eye. Do a good job, and I won't treat you unfairly."

Making grand promises is one of Ye Han's specialties, and he'll reap the same benefits.

He rolled his eyes and realized his predicament.

His main soul was in the other party's hands, his life and death were not in his own hands, and he didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false.

However, judging from the way the soul left the body just now, what the other party said should be true.

He never wanted to experience that suffocating feeling of having his consciousness ripped out and his whole being hollowed out again.

There was no room for negotiation on this matter.

At this moment, Bai Yan couldn't even stand up, but the disdain in his bones didn't diminish in the slightest because of his status as a prisoner.

"Young man surnamed Ye, you've only lived for a mere twenty-odd years, do you really think you can defeat the Mastermind?"

"I don't know whether to call you stupid or naive. Even Merlin couldn't do it, so what makes you think you can? Just because you're from Earth?"

Ye Han was not angered by his words: "Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't. Merlin is Merlin, and I am me."

"What if you can't do that? Then I'll be controlled by you for the rest of my life, surviving by compromising and yielding. I can't do that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Bai Yan's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he lay down on his back, the back of his head hitting the cold rock with a dull thud.

Ye Han used his X-ray vision to see that Bai Yan wasn't faking it; he had just forced his heart meridian to backfire, attempting suicide.

He does have some backbone.

I'd rather die than be someone else's pawn.

"Want to die? It's not that simple."

The power of the horse talisman covered Bai Yan's body, instantly healing all his injuries, including the hidden injuries that had accumulated in his body over time.

Everything was restored by the horse talisman and reached its peak condition.

The white of his eyes refocused.

He couldn't understand how someone who had just attempted suicide by succumbing to a blood rush to their head could possibly be unharmed.

Ye Han coldly said, "What I just said wasn't a discussion, but a unilateral order. You have no chance to refuse. If you want to experience what it's like to be worse than dead, I can let you experience it first."

The main soul tightened violently.

The white eye immediately triggered a chain reaction; the whole body stiffened, the pupils contracted violently, and the excruciating pain surging from the depths of the soul was incomparable to any physical injury.

The process lasted for several minutes.

Bai Yan remained defiant, his teeth clenched so hard they were grinding, his lips bleeding, but he didn't utter a single word.

Ye Han couldn't help but look at him with more respect.

It's not so easy to destroy the will of such a hot-blooded person just by subjecting him to pain.

He eased the pressure on his main soul a little, allowing Bai Yan to catch his breath from the excruciating pain.

Once the grip loosened slightly, Bai Yan gasped as if he had been pulled from the bottom of the water, his chest heaving violently, sweat mixed with blood sliding down his forehead.

Ye Han waited for him to catch his breath before speaking, his voice still cold but not as sharp: "I'll ask you one more time, did you hear me?"

"Listen...listen carefully." Bai Yan squeezed out a few hoarse, almost inaudible words from his throat.

Ye Han stopped.

All the pain in Baiyan's body vanished in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground as if all his bones had been removed.

"You've died once before, so don't be so insensible next time. What I say is a promise, and I will give you freedom if I say I will, but not now."

"Understood."

Bai Yan's voice was still hoarse, but his tone had completely changed.

Ye Han returned the rainbow stone that belonged to him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Han began to ask him questions.

Bai Yan had completely accepted Ye Han as his master and had no reservations about any of the questions Ye Han asked.

After a very detailed interrogation, Ye Han learned a lot of inside information.

The main strongholds of the Galaxy Eyes, the star systems where the fleet is stationed, the coordinates of several key logistics bases, and the core force organization of each of the five Color Eyes...

When the topic shifted to the mastermind, the eye roll's response became noticeably shorter.

It wasn't that he was deliberately hiding something; rather, he genuinely didn't know much.

The mastermind exists in a very special way and never shows itself.

The five managers can only hear the mastermind's voice at the Five Colors Meeting at a fixed time each year. They have no opportunity to contact the mastermind on their own unless the mastermind issues an order directly.

The source of the voice was untraceable, and the signal encryption level far exceeded Baiyan's authority. Even Baiyan himself couldn't say whether the main brain was a living being, a machine, or something else.

After everything was clarified, Ye Han let him leave.

"Alright, I understand everything."

"Go back now. Don't let anyone else notice anything amiss. I've healed your injuries and returned the Rainbow Stone to you. Go back and do what you were supposed to do. Just consider the mission on Jupiter a failure. I'll contact you if needed. You know what you're supposed to do in the meantime."

"Yes."

After Bai Yan left, Ye Han secretly rejoiced that he hadn't acted quickly enough to kill him earlier.

Fortunately, he was spared, otherwise his vacant position would have been filled very quickly.

Since its inception, Galaxy Eyes has produced hundreds of Five-Colored Eyes, going through many generations before finally having the current five.

The position of Five-Colored Eyes is never a lifetime appointment. Every manager is eliminated by the stronger one to make room for the position, while the mastermind is never short of candidates.
