I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Tang Xueluan's eyes widened in surprise:

"No, I have no idea about this at all."

Moreover, she had never considered that Xiaoyao would attack Ma En, who belonged to the Federation, but in fact, after calming down and thinking carefully, she realized that this was actually very reasonable. Ma En was actually one of the few Federation members he could harm.

In this Federation, perhaps only she truly cared about his life or death. They were only unable to attack Ma En because of the contract. If he died, it would actually be a good thing for most Federation members.

After all, Ma En was just an outsider.

Thinking of this, she felt even more terrified by the power of a Tier V ability user. In her impression, Ma En was almost an invincible powerhouse. In fact, Tang Xueluan originally thought that he would definitely take the opportunity to soar.

She never imagined that he would come to her in such a disheveled state. Even if he encountered a Tier V ability user, would he be reduced to a state where he couldn't control his own life and destiny…

Tang Xueluan paused, and then said:

"I don't think the Federation knows about this either. If they knew, they would be bound by the contract. They don't have the ability to push you into the fire pit."

Ma En looked at her and said:

"But the fact is that the proposal they gave put me in my current situation, and even if they don't know the specific details, they may have already sensed some strangeness."

The reason he said this wasn't because he really thought the Federation was plotting against him, but to use this to gain the upper hand in the upcoming dialogue and negotiations with Tang Xueluan and the Federation, and also to cover up the real situation.

Tang Xueluan also showed a guilty expression. Even if she felt that the Federation might not really know anything, it was indeed their deal with Xiaoyao that had caused Ma En to end up in this state.

"I'm sorry," she said with a dejected expression. "I'll try to get an explanation from the Federation for you, but I think they'll probably be gloating when they hear this news.

"What exactly did Xiaoyao do to you? Is there anything we and the Federation can do to help you?"

This was also heavy bad news for her. She was not only saddened by Ma En's experience, but also worried about the Shu family's opinion of this cooperation.

Moreover, her guilt wasn't feigned. Strictly speaking, this was her decision-making error. Although thanks to the conditions offered by Xiaoyao, the Shu family itself didn't suffer any losses, and could even be said to have made a lot of money.

But what she valued wasn't these short-term benefits.

Seeing that Tang Xueluan had received this information, Ma En's tone softened a little:

"Xiaoyao forced me to kill his other two companions, and also used spells to control me, but he didn't actually want to do anything to me. To be precise, it was actually an accident.

"Xiaoyao originally hoped that his disciple could kill me, but now he has failed, so he is using interests and power to coerce me into working for him. Is there anything you can do to help me solve this problem?"

Hearing this, Tang Xueluan's guilty expression became even more obvious:

"I'm sorry, but I think those people in the Federation will only be happier when they hear this news. In their opinion, the deal with Xiaoyao has already squeezed out all the value in you, and now you are nothing to them."

Ma En narrowed his eyes and questioned:

"Do you mean that I can only work for Xiaoyao from now on?"

Tang Xueluan said with an apologetic expression:

"I'll help you think of other ways, but…"

She didn't seem to think it was possible.

In the end, in this cooperative relationship, she herself didn't have particularly strong power. Although the Shu family itself had considerable influence within the Federation, and they had already planned to cooperate with her.

But if they knew about this, they would definitely reconsider Ma En's value.

In fact, when she heard this news, Tang Xueluan wavered for a moment, but she still didn't intend to abandon Ma En, who had already contributed tremendous value to them, but to face this problem with him.

Perhaps some of the reasons for doing this were her inner yearning for Shenxiao, but more importantly, she still felt that cooperating with Ma En was a valuable and rewarding choice in this situation.

Her assessment of Ma En's value was higher than that of any politician in her family and the Federation.

And Ma En's next actions proved her point.

"No need," Ma En sighed slightly. "This isn't a good thing for me, but it's not all bad news. In fact, this can be considered good news for your Shu family.

"Because what Xiaoyao wants me to do is trade with the Federation."

Tang Xueluan showed a surprised expression:

"Do you mean he has given you the job of trading with the Federation?"

Ma En's previous performance now seemed to her to be some kind of test, and she was very glad that she didn't have any thoughts of abandoning Ma En in her heart just now, otherwise she might have lost this opportunity.

You must know that what they have obtained from Xiaoyao now is only a drop in the bucket.

He still has endless value, and not only can it be used in the anti-aging technology of the Fountain of Youth project, but his knowledge and secrets have different uses for various departments of the Federation.

Xiaoyao is a treasure trove to be mined for the Federation.

Ma En nodded:

"And he also gave me some tasks. Since you can't help me break free from his control, then I can only sincerely work for him, but we are still partners, right?"

Faced with his unspoken question, Tang Xueluan immediately nodded heavily:

"Of course, we have always been on the same boat."

Ma En said:

"Now that things have come to this, I think maybe we can work together for Xiaoyao to work for the Federation. To be honest, I'm not very happy about being controlled by him, but I have no other choice.

"All I can do is cooperate with your Shu family and extract as much profit as possible."

Tang Xueluan nodded, showing that she understood.

Although Ma En didn't say it, his saying "Shu family" instead of cooperating with the Federation had already made it clear that the benefits he wanted to extract in conjunction with her were not only Xiaoyao's, but also the Federation's.

Ma En, who had encountered such a thing, couldn't sincerely submit to Xiaoyao, but he would definitely not work for the Federation, which ignored his life and death, so the Shu family, which already had a cooperative relationship with him, had the advantage.

This was also an excellent opportunity for the Shu family.

After all, they were first members of the Shu family, and then members of the Federation.

"I understand, if we can find an opportunity in the future," Tang Xueluan immediately promised, "we will definitely find a way to get you out of it, after all, the Federation is so covetous of Xiaoyao's secrets.

"We still have a chance."

They could completely use the Federation to help Ma En escape Xiaoyao's control, as long as the Federation could get what they wanted in the process, but this couldn't be known to the Federation itself for the time being.

This was a secret between Ma En and the Shu family.

Ma En nodded in agreement:

"This is also our common opportunity."

At the same time, he also sent a message to Xiaoyao using magic.

Everything was according to plan.
