221 Unexpected
Hunter and the others turned around and fought with Zhou Xuan’s bodyguards. Immediately, a chaotic battle broke out in the corridor, and the entire corridor accommodated nearly a hundred people.
The killers were all determined to die. They waved the short knives in their hands. When one fell, another immediately replaced him. Even though their bodies were slashed into pieces, they did not retreat.
Faced with this situation, Carter and Mu Wei had long found a corner of the room to hide. Only Zhou Xuan and Shan Yue could maintain a calm mentality.
Zhou Xuan took out his computer and entered his encrypted network. In a few moves, he hacked into the surveillance camera of the Vienna Hotel. Looking at the scene outside, even someone as cold as Zhou Xuan would feel a slight emotional change in his heart.
Then, Zhou Xuan quickly called Shan Yue. “Miss Shan, are you in your room? Are you injured?”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Zhou.” Shan Yue’s tone was relaxed. After all, this scene was not enough to scare her. “I’m fine. If not for Mr. Zhou’s wise arrangements, it might be hard to say if we’re alive or dead now.”
“Miss Shan, you flatter me.” Zhou Xuan’s nerves were very tense, and there was worry in his voice. “Since Victor’s plan has failed and he has lost the ability to compete for the position of the patriarch, he will definitely launch a final counterattack. I announced to the public that my bodyguards are all on patrol, but in fact, I’ve planted them all opposite our room. This way, if anything happens, they can come and protect us immediately.”
Shan Yue’s lips curled up into an evil smile. “Mr. Zhou is indeed good. As expected of the number one person in the Federation.”
“But it’s all thanks to Mr. Carter’s bodyguards.” Zhou Xuan’s thin lips parted slightly, and his slender fingers kept tapping on the computer. “They must have sounded the alarm at the most important moment, which reminded all of us. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
Hearing Zhou Xuan’s thoughts, Shan Yue was relieved. At least she would not be exposed. After a few hurried words, the two of them hung up. Zhou Xuan called Mu Wei and Carter respectively. He was relieved to know that both of them were fine.
Shan Yue took advantage of the chaos outside to open the door and pull in a killer, then quickly closed the door.
Hunter had been in the middle of a melee, but when he saw Shan Yue, one of the four targets to be assassinated tonight, he became excited again. “Young lady, if you insist on opening the door and courting death, you can’t blame me for being ruthless.” As he spoke, he raised his knife to slash.
The corners of Shan Yue’s mouth curled up. She said softly, “How naive.” With a gentle twist of her foot, she sidestepped Hunter’s swing. In a second, she spun around behind him and punched him easily. Hunter flew against the door and fell heavily to the ground.
Hunter got up with difficulty and casually wiped the bloody mark from the corner of his mouth. “Damn, what the hell. I don’t believe I can’t beat a little girl.” He raised the knife forward with one hand and raised a handful of sand from his sleeve with the other, wanting to confuse Shan Yue’s vision and take the opportunity to kill her.
But all of this seemed so childish in Shan Yue’s eyes.
“It’s really too slow,” Shan Yue muttered. She tiptoed and quickly retreated to avoid the sand. She turned around and kicked the knife out of Hunter’s hand. She raised her hand and threw an uppercut that knocked the other party over, causing him to collapse to the ground.
“You have the cheek to embarrass yourself with such flowery skills.” Shan Yue’s eyes were filled with cold mockery. “It’s really laughable. It’s better not to be an assassin in the future. It’s too embarrassing.”
“How can this be?” Disbelief appeared in Hunter’s eyes as he curled up in the corner. “We’ve all trained hard for years, but we can’t even defeat a child like you. Who are you?”
“About who I am.” Shan Yue’s words were filled with disdain. “You’ll only be qualified to know when you can beat me. But from the looks of it, you probably won’t be qualified for the rest of your life.”
“Don’t be too arrogant. Recognize reality.” Hunter frowned and gritted his teeth. “I have many brothers outside. Even if you can beat me, it won’t be long before you end up the same.”
