Chapter 1420: Discovered
Soothing music was playing in the banquet hall. After politely refusing a few handsome young men, the assistant walked over to a table in the corner with a plate of sumptuous food.
In her opinion, all these men with faint refined perfume were sissies.
As she picked up a small piece of steak with her fork and popped it into her mouth, she smiled and couldn't help but squint with pleasure.
Just as the assistant was enjoying her meal, a slightly low male voice rang out from behind her — " You don't seem to like this atmosphere.
The assistant heard this and sighed inwardly. If she had encountered a similar situation in the past, she would have pulled out a gun and made it clear that it wasn't worth bothering her now, but now she had to respond politely to another suitor.
— With a casual cough, she continued to enjoy her meal.
— When I was little, I also hated this fake atmosphere. Everyone puts on masks, smiling masks, " the man in the black suit said and sat down next to the assistant, placing a plate of vegetables and a small amount of meat on the table in front of him.
The man smiled politely at the assistant and began to enjoy his meal leisurely.
— After swallowing a piece of steak, the man looked at the assistant with a smile in his eyes.
Hearing this, the assistant's slender fingers turned into claws, ready to snap at the man's throat at any moment.
— Calm down, " Su Xiao's voice rang out in the assistant's ear. This man was far from an ordinary person. He was the scion of the extremely wealthy Hennesson. His name was Orlando.
— Suspicious? The assistant asked, and looked at Orlando in confusion.
— Sure, everyone else is wearing masks, but not you. Isn't that suspicious? Orlando thought his joke was funny, but he was actually standing in front of the gates of hell. He didn't know yet that the seemingly weak girl next to him had once killed a four-meter-tall brown bear with her bare hands. It was too easy for her to kill him.
— Haha~, " the assistant laughed. She laughed, not at Orlando's wit, but at the fact that he had almost died because of this misunderstanding. "So I'm really a suspect," the assistant said, and looked Orlando up and down.
— So, let me introduce myself, I'm Orlando.
The conversation between them seemed to be going on normally, but they weren't really on the same page at all. Orlando considered his tackle a success, but his assistant almost killed him for it.
— This...
— According to etiquette, you must also introduce yourself.
— I'm... Octavia Bartholomew, " the assistant said.
— A lady of the Bartholomew family? What a coincidence! My father was a young business associate of the Bartholomew family. The fact that he invited Miss Octavia makes sense, after all, my father is sentimental.
The assistant wanted to send him away, but she couldn't. Even if she had plucked up the courage to chase him away while leaving the restaurant alive, at the very least, she would have been hung up by Su Xiao's ears after that.
— Orlando… Sir, " the assistant said, then smiled and looked directly into Orlando's eyes.
— What can I do for you, Miss Octavia?" Orlando asked, feeling that he was close to success.
— It's very impolite to disturb others while eating, so out of politeness, sir, please shut up — " the assistant's smile was very gentle, but every word she said could break one's heart.
— Orlando thought he would be politely refused, but he didn't expect her to tell him to shut up.
Although her request sounded polite, he still felt strange.
— I'm sorry, " Orlando said, and stood up like a perfect gentleman, but as soon as he turned away, the muscles in his face began to twitch.
Today was a very awkward day for him.
In the kitchen, Bubtney walked slowly to the door and, with the help of his apprentice, left the kitchen.
There were dozens of alchemy bombs stuck around the rooms in several utility rooms near the main kitchen, but they were all quite weak.
Bubtney only needed to create chaos, not destroy the restaurant.
When Bubtney signaled, the assistant who was enjoying her meal wiped her mouth and reached under her skirt.
Orlando, who had been glancing at the assistant the entire time, was stunned when he saw this. Due to the fact that he had only seen elegant ladies, suddenly meeting such a "lady" made Orlando's brain boil.
Noticing Orlando's gaze, the assistant turned her head, lifted the corners of her mouth, and smiled.
Could Orlando have ever seen such a girl anywhere? He was active in social and business circles, so he was pleasantly surprised by the wildness of this girl.
*Sh-sh-sh-sh~*
As the assistant walked along the wall, a colorless mist began to spread behind her.
— What does it smell like?
— This... Gasoline?
— It's probably just your imagination. Where will gasoline come from at such an event?… Ahem, I think I can smell it too.
The assistant sped up and soon the entire banquet hall smelled of gasoline.
Buck, who was sitting behind Dubois, suddenly put down a large glass of wine on the table.
— Here he comes, " Buck said, and got up with a whoosh.
All the distinguished guests around him were puzzled.
Buck ignored all these people and started looking around.
Soon, he focused his gaze on one person.
The assistant suddenly stopped walking and felt her hair stand on end. It was a very strange feeling. She felt as if she had turned into a small tree and a lumberjack was standing in front of her with a short axe in his hand.
— Don't look at him, " Su Xiao said, but it was too late.
The assistant looked directly at Buck out of the corner of her eye.
— Buck exhaled and smiled.
In the next instant, an explosion rang out.
The restaurant's doors immediately flew apart.
Flames surged into the banquet hall directly from the kitchen, but before the guests could shout, the flames spread throughout the entire hall in the blink of an eye.
Half of the banquet hall was engulfed in flames in just a second.
As soon as the fire spread through the room, Su Xiao pulled the trigger.
*Boom!*
A soft gunshot rang out, and the outer wall of the hotel where Su Xiao was staying was immediately covered in cracks.
Most likely, in three shots from the Duke of Nirvana, this hotel would end up being destroyed.
