Chương 298: Meeting Little Bai

Xiang Yu was impatient but didn't dare show it, just in case Hex decided to go back on its word. Just then, the door opened with a whoosh as it slid to the side.

Xiang Yu walked out of the containment room, his steps quick and purposeful. "Hex, tell me if there are people coming," he said, his voice tense.

Hex, now speaking directly into Xiang Yu's mind, replied, "Yu Yu, how sweet of you to think I can access the palace surveillance. No, no, no, that would be breaking code 37628 of the Artificial Intelligence Code of Ethics, punishable by Erasure."

"Can you do it or not, Hex?" Xiang Yu snapped, his patience wearing thin.

"Of course, I can do it for my friends, that is," Hex said.

A long silence followed. Xiang Yu was seriously contemplating erasing Hex right then and there. Hex broke the silence, "Are we friends?"

"Yes, we are friends," Xiang Yu replied, trying to keep his frustration in check.

"Best friends, right?" Hex pressed.
