128 Countdown to the Feast

Drip.

The elevator opens the door.

Xia Mei held a delicate little red leather bag, looked at the banquet in front of her, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked up a charming smile.

She stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked the corners of her scarlet mouth, shining the lip blush slightly on the flap of her lips, and whispered in a faint voice that only she could hear:

"It's fascinating to see the glitz and glamour of high society, and I want to experience this drunken dream all day long."

"It's time to go in, don't delay business."

A deep man's voice sounded strangely in her ears, as if it was close to her.

However, Xia Mei was the only one in the elevator.

After she heard this voice, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and snorted coldly: "When did the old lady make a mistake?" ”

After saying that, Xia Mei took a step, walked straight out of the elevator, turned left and entered the banquet, and quickly blended into the crowd.

The people who can enter here tonight are celebrities from all walks of life, there is no shortage of beautiful women, beautiful women, and men have seen the world and are very self-contained.

Therefore, Xia Mei did not attract everyone's special attention.

She picked up a glass of red wine, sometimes sipped, and walked back and forth among the crowds of people who gathered.

It didn't take long for Xia Mei to go to the center of the private banquet, laughing and chatting with people, while observing the two people in the middle who were held by the stars with the corner of her eye.

The man on the left was dressed in an expensive black suit, and although his sideburns were gray with stars, it was difficult to hide the high-ranking temperament he exuded.

This person is the organizer of this private banquet, surnamed Chen Mingcang, a business magnate with a legendary life experience, the ultimate example of self-made, and often appears on the cover of major media reports.

With his experience, his status, and his role as the organizer, he should be the absolute center of this banquet and should be sought after by everyone.

However, at this time, Chen Cang did not have the slightest intention of master, although he held his head slightly high and had a smile on his face, but if you observe carefully, you will find that he faintly maintains a humble posture.

Such a gesture was revealed to the middle-aged man standing next to him.

Even, the celebrities around Chen Cang, most of the attention was paid to the middle-aged man, and the posture he showed was even more humble than Chen Cang's, almost flattering.

But they didn't feel the slightest discomfort, and they didn't have any feeling that their self-esteem was being trampled on.

After all, there is no shame in maintaining respect for the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Not to mention, the deputy minister...... He also has the surname Fang.

The fang of the Yan Nannan clan.

Fang Wen is just standing here, and he is bound to be the absolute center, enjoying all the spotlights.

"It is Chen Cang's honor to be able to invite Minister Fang to this dinner today, so let's ask Minister Fang to speak a few words now?" Chen Cang raised his glass and asked with a smile at everyone.

Hearing this, the surrounding people immediately spoke one after another.

"As it should be."

"Today, I can listen to Minister Fang's words, Brother Chen's banquet is really the right one."

"I hope Minister Fang will teach you a few words."

……

Everyone said a word, and all their eyes were on Fang Wen, and their eyes were full of anticipation.

At this time, "Fang Wen" did not speak immediately.

He was silently counting the time in his heart.

"At 9:16, less than a quarter of an hour before the agreed hands-on time......"

Qin Mo muttered to himself, and at the same time, he was observing everyone at the banquet through the holographic vision in his mind.

The Gaoling Xia clan's dispatch must be an S-level awakener, which naturally goes without saying, and the S-level has reached the level of Dao Nature, and the genetic power has been collected into its own body, all of which are contained, and it looks no different from ordinary people.

Therefore, Qin Mo couldn't simply use thermal imaging to determine who was from the Gaoling Xia clan, he could only use his own observations, and then wait for the other party to take the initiative to expose himself.

He has not found a trace so far, but has only locked on a few suspected targets.

Hearing that Chen Cang actually asked Fang Wen to speak, Qin Mo couldn't help but curse a few words secretly.

But in order not to be abnormal and arouse the suspicion of the Gaoling Xia clan, he had to re-open the painful memories of his previous life in the workplace, and deal with it casually first.

"Ahem."

Facing more than a dozen scorching eyes, Qin Mo coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and then slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smirk that was the standard of the leader's speech.

"Since Chen Cang wants me to say a few words, then I'll just say a few words tonight."

Bang Bang Bang!

As soon as the words landed, everyone immediately burst into warm applause, as if Qin Mo had said something terrible just now.

The applause lasted for more than ten seconds before it slowly stopped, Qin Mo smiled and nodded slightly to the surroundings.

Then, he continued: "Then, the few sentences I am going to talk about tonight are actually not important speeches on a formal occasion, you can just take it as a small talk, don't be restrained, and keep it relaxed.

Of course, these sentences are not as good as those said on formal occasions, but they are not particularly bad......"

Chen Cang: "......"

The rest: "......"

In just three sentences, the minute hand silently crossed a small square, and now it was 9:22, and there were still eight minutes before the start time.

Qin Mo paused slightly, then cleared his throat before continuing:

"First of all, I would like to divide these sentences into three main points.

Ah, each of these points, there are five key points, let's start with the first point of the first point.

I think this is the most important part......"

Chen Cang: "......"

The rest: "......"

One thing to say, their ears are a little numb now, and they are secretly complaining about Fang Wen in their hearts.

But because their status is higher than the mountain and the background is bigger than the sky, they still have to pretend to have a fake smile on their faces, and the corners of their mouths are rising more and more.

A short period of time passed rapidly in Qin Mo's unnutritious nonsense literature.

At 9:27 a.m., Xia Mei, who was standing on the periphery of the crowd, suddenly flickered in her eyes, holding a shaking red wine glass, and slowly moved in the direction of the left-hand side.

She snorted coldly in an undetectable voice as she shifted her position.

"Heh, a straw bale, that's a lot of nonsense."

This time, the man's voice didn't ring in her ears again, but Qin Mo, who was in the center of the crowd, suddenly paused for a hundredth of an eye.

He slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, and he already had a plan in his heart.

And in the next second, a crisp sound of breaking the gate sounded very suddenly, interrupting his speech.

Card rub!

The dim yellow light embedded in the ceiling flickered several times, and then a few sparks suddenly appeared, and their mission was lost.

Rumble!

The main power supply of Huatian Yuelou was cut off, and all the lights were extinguished at the same time, and the building fell into deep darkness.

Suddenly, noisy exclamations rang out one after another.

"What's going on?"

"Is there a power outage?"

"How can Huatian Yuelou have a power outage?!

Everyone said a word, and the banquet was full of surprise and incomprehension.

Faced with such an unexpected situation, Chen Cang stood up at this time, and his steady voice sounded in the darkness.

"Ladies and gentlemen, maybe the power system has failed, presumably Hua Tianyue Tower will be repaired soon, please stand in place and wait patiently, don't walk around."

Hearing this, the slightly riotous banquet gradually returned to calm.

Seeing this, a surging smile appeared on Chen Cang's face, and he turned his head to the person beside him and said:

"You go out and take a look, what happened to the problem, how could Hua Tianyue Lou ......?"

Suddenly, his words stopped abruptly, and the remaining half of his sentence was stuck in his throat forever, never to come out again.

Scarlet blood slowly flowed down the corners of Chen Cang's mouth, and he used his last bit of strength to twist his stiff neck and look down.

I saw an ordinary dagger, impartially inserted into his heart, cutting off his heart.

"Ho Ho ......"

Chen Cang subconsciously stretched out his hand to ask for help, but the speed of life passed far faster than he imagined.

Before he could lift his arm, his eyes were completely plunged into darkness, and his body fell to the ground with a bang.

Thump!

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded in everyone's ears, and a large amount of blood quickly oozed out along the wound, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

The man who was still listening to him was dazed, he looked down, and through the faint light through the window, he just happened to see Chen Cang's face full of blood.

Stunned, puzzled, frightened......

Complex emotions are like high-pressure water guns, rushing into his head from the bottom up.

The man trembled a few times, then opened his mouth and shouted, "Dead, dead, dead!"

Rumble!

As the saying goes, one stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The banquet crowd, which was originally still calm, seemed to have turned into ants on a hot pot at this moment, and instantly fell into madness.

The huge commotion erupted at an even more violent speed, and hundreds of people rushed towards the exit in unison, trying in vain to leave this extremely unsafe and bloody place.

The time is 9:28:47!

In the dark banquet, in the mixed crowd, a ghostly dagger suddenly appeared, shining with a piercing cold light, aiming at the lower waist of "Fang Wen" from a tricky angle from the diagonal rear, and stabbed it fiercely.

The distance between the two was less than a foot, which was almost negligible for an S-class awakened.

The murderous aura that invaded the bone marrow seemed to have condensed into substance, and it suddenly struck like a storm, as if it would pierce Fang Wen's spleen in the next moment.

However, at this critical moment.

A broad palm suddenly appeared, blocking the dagger's path.

The palm of this hand was two circles larger than that of an ordinary person, its skin glowed with a dark golden metallic light, and its fingers carried terrifying power.

The owner of the palm is an S-level Golden Element Awakener, and he has the powerful strength of the sixth order, and he is also the retinue of Fang Wenming's guard.

Ding-dong!

The metal palm and dagger slammed together with a crisp sound.

The Fang Clan's guard was shocked back a few steps by the power of the dagger, and his face couldn't help but become solemn.

The other party turned out to be an S-level awakened person of the sixth order, and his surface strength was not inferior to him, and he also held an attack-type Holy Spirit relic in his hand.

It's just that as soon as they fought, he clearly knew that this must be a vicious battle.

"You go first, I'll kill him."

The guard said quickly to "Fang Wen", and then fully activated the genetic power in his body and rushed forward again.

The crisp sound of collision continued to sound in the darkness, and the aftermath of the battle shook all the unknown people around them away.

This is still the result of the two of them deliberately controlling their strength, otherwise just one fight, they would be enough to smash the entire Huatianyue Tower.

Seeing this, Fang Wen's expression was as usual, and under the escort of another subordinate, he walked towards the depths of the banquet hall.

It was said earlier that Hua Tianyue Tower was actually the property of Yan Nannan's clan behind the scenes, so the location of the safe house was reserved when it was built.

The two of them made their way through the panicked crowd in the darkness and rounded to the right side of the bathroom.

Then Fang Wen's entourage raised his hand and groped for a blank area on the wall, and after a few seconds, the sound of the machine sounded, and a small door opened in front of him, and in the middle was a corridor spiraling upward.

"Please come in first."

"Hmm."

"Fang Wen" snorted, stepped inside with his hands behind his back, and walked up.

After the figure disappeared, the entourage standing outside glanced around vigilantly, turned sideways into the corridor, and closed the secret door from the inside.

The spiral passage is brightly lit, and every two meters on the walls on both sides there is a topaz mine embedded in the inside of the wall, emitting a shimmering light.

The attendant went up the stairs, and after two circles, there was a huge silver crystal wall in front of him, made of some unknown material, but it was extremely strong.

Behind the crystal wall is the real safe house, and the two of them are no longer on the eighteenth floor, but on the twentieth floor.

"Hoo ......"

The attendant exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and Shicai's nervousness quietly dissipated for three minutes, and his heart was a little calmer.

"Fang Wen" had already entered, and he needed to stand guard in front of the door, waiting for support from the Yan Nannan clan.

He estimated that in about fifteen minutes or so, all the danger would be lifted tonight.

Thinking like this, the corners of his mouth curled up slowly, and at the same time, he raised his arm to reveal his watch, and glanced down at the time.

I saw that it was just ......

Nine thirty o'clock.

The real assassination operation has officially begun.

The attendant looked up after reading the time.

However, who would have thought that as soon as he raised his head, he suddenly saw a strange human face suddenly appear less than an inch in front of his face!

The facial features are distinct, the nose and eyes are extremely good-looking, as if they are the perfect product created by God, and the bright red plump lips are like stained with blood, as if they are about to drip out in the next moment.

"Oops!"

Such a thought suddenly flashed through the mind of the attendant, and the powerful genetic power in the body followed the instinct of the body to rush on its own.

He raised his right hand in a flash of lightning, and was about to blast out at the strange face of the unknown thing.

But the speed of his arm in mid-air became slower and slower until it was completely still, and then slowly lowered.

"That's right, little brother, can you bear to beat the bad guys?"

Xia Mei's flickering voice sounded in his ears, and her eyes had changed at some point.

There seems to be a pink starry sky hidden in the two children's holes, with some unknown magic power, hooking the three souls and seven spirits of the entourage.

"No, I can't bear ......"

In the silent air, a dazed voice slowly sounded.

He seemed to be stupid, his eyes lost their brightness, and he just stared directly at the beautiful face that was close to him.

But from between his eyebrows, it could be vaguely seen that there was a hint of struggle mixed with the blankness.

Seeing this, Xia Mei immediately stepped up her efforts.

In the originally dim space, a dot of pink light suddenly appeared, and three huge fox tails covered with pink fluff appeared from behind Xia Mei.

The fox's tail intertwined, slowly crawling from the man's back to his chest, and then strangled his neck.

"Whew~"

Xia Mei blew lightly on him, and then the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more intense, and she said:

"Don't worry, little brother, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."

"No, it doesn't hurt ......"

The entourage had a silly smile on his face, his eyes turned completely pink, and he didn't know if he had seen something good.

The look of struggle between his eyebrows had vanished without a trace, and his physical sensations seemed to have vanished with it.

The foxtail on his neck tightened slightly, but he didn't realize it, allowing it to shatter his demigod body step by step.

Card rub!

It was as if a corner of glass had shattered.

Blood began to spill from the corners of the attendant's mouth, his whole face turned red, his ears were red, and his two eyeballs protruded, looking extremely terrifying.

His life was passing rapidly, and the immense power in his body had fallen silent before it could be unleashed.

Bang.

The foxtail suddenly let go, and the corpse lost its support, and immediately fell to the ground.

Xia Mei looked down at him, and a thick mockery flashed on her face.

Dealing with a sixth-order S-class awakened person so easily was normal for her.

After all, there is a huge gap between each rank after reaching the S rank, and the higher the rank, the more the difference is.

The seventh order is against the sixth order, and the advantage is naturally on Xia Mei's side.

After killing someone, Xia Mei clapped her hands, stared at the thick crystal wall in front of her, and whispered:

"It is worthy of an ancient family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and even the coffin has to be repaired so luxuriously."

Then, she turned to face the direction of the stairs and stood here in place of her dead attendant, Shi Shiran.

The red dress on Xia Mei's body is still as delicate as blood, but it's just ......

The colors seemed to be three points darker than they had been half an hour ago.
