The implication from the boss is that as long as it's not Level 10, she seems to be able to win effortlessly.
Even though he is somewhat doubtful, he dares not ask any more questions. A Level 9 modified person is not worth mentioning in her eyes, what kind of person is their boss?
However, the boss's confidence gives the Poison a bit more reassurance.
Poison and Purple follow the battle traces upward, encountering various corpses along the way.
These corpses show almost no signs of combat, they were killed as soon as they encountered someone.
The higher they went, the fewer corpses there were; those unafraid to die must have been killed. The remaining people dared not fight anymore.
Poison noticed along the way that some rooms might be hiding a lot of people. But he ignored them.
Encountering a strong opponent you can't beat and hiding isn't necessarily shameful. These people have been scared to death; calling them out wouldn't do any good.
