1765 Crushing Defeat
In comparison to the bodyguard’s fear, Huo Yao sat in the chair without moving at all. She looked at the assassins dressed in black with a slight intrigue in her eyes.
“I’m looking forward to finding out what super assassins can do.”
Huo Yao tilted her head sideways as she spoke airily. She even flicked her fingers in the air.
Even though she looked relaxed, she was clearly provoking them by speaking arrogantly.
“You?”
The super assassins did not react on the surface. However, she had undoubtedly succeeded in provoking them.
They did not forget their mission tonight. After looking at each other, the super assassin closest to Huo Yao raised his arm and attacked her.
To them, she was just a woman. Even if she was a good fighter, they could get her effortlessly.
Rocco and his bodyguard were in the corner, but he could not resist shouting to Huo Yao. “Watch out!”
Before the super assassin could touch Huo Yao, his hands froze in mid-air as if he got pinned by something. In a split second, his body crumpled to the ground. The part of his face unconcealed by the mask looked strangely purple.
The other men’s expressions froze briefly. Before they could figure out what she had done, their bodies went stiff. They could sense something crushing their hearts before they had trouble breathing.
In less than two seconds, the remaining men fell to the ground.
Everyone’s skins were a varying degree of purple.
Huo Yao glanced at these people on the ground and shook her head nonchalantly.
Weren’t they super assassins with medically modified bodies?
Was this it?!
She clearly only used some poison made by the boy.
The bodyguard in the corner thought something might happen to her, but he instantly opened his eyes wide and his hands stopped shaking. “… What happened to them?”
He hesitated before he cautiously walked over. He bent over wanting to check the super assassins’ breaths, but Huo Yao stopped him.
“If you want to die, then go ahead.”
The bodyguard promptly shrunk his hand back. He finally noticed the purplish hue on their bodies. “They are…”
“They are useless.” Huo Yao shrugged.
Fear was still lingering in the bodyguard’s heart.
He begged to differ.
Huo Yao failed to detect the bodyguard’s reaction. She got up and nodded to Rocco. “I think my family is probably looking for me by now. Don’t stay here anymore. Leave as soon as you can.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she strode out of the tea room.
Rocco watched as Huo Yao walked off. When his bodyguard called out to him, he finally snapped out of his thoughts.
“Your Highness, the girl isn’t as simple as she seems.” The bodyguard automatically glanced at the super assassins lying on the ground. He did not even get a close look at how she attacked them before they fell sprawling on the ground.
It was a crushing and instant defeat.
Rocco went quiet for a few seconds and then, suddenly smiled. “That’s right.”
Even if Morey refused to release the young woman, considering her ability, Morey probably could not get what he wanted from her.
In the end, he even owed the young woman a favor for saving him.
“I wonder which family she’s from,” the bodyguard muttered curiously.
Rocco looked firmly and said, “Let’s go. Time to leave.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The bodyguard acknowledged reverently. He took out his phone and called his subordinates waiting outside.
The two of them quickly walked out.

In the banquet hall, the atmosphere was so tense that it felt as though something was about to explode.
