Chapter 4133 Assassination
The auction has begun, and the first item has been brought to the stage. The auctioneer is explaining it to the buyer.
offstage.
"Mr. Shaq, if you need anything, just let me know."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Kearns."
Shaq remained impassive and polite for a moment, because at that moment, he saw a familiar figure flash by—he knew that figure all too well.
This is the back view of Sassi, one of his four missing men.
After Karns left, Shaq quietly headed towards that familiar figure... The Golden Hook was one of the later auction items, so there was plenty of time.
Shaq had been preparing for the Golden Hook for a long time – he had received news that the Golden Hook had fallen into the hands of the Sky Dome Auction House and had been waiting for the auction.
To this end, Shaq prepared a large amount of funds.
He secretly arranged for Sha Si and a few others to infiltrate [Marindo] in order to raise funds for selling goods... During this time, Sha Si and his men frequently visited the [Sky Dome] auction house.
Everything went smoothly at first, and Sha Si and his group sold most of Shak's goods—there was another batch of goods they originally planned to bring to sell today... If all else fails, they can use it to offset the debt when they win the bid for the Golden Hook.
But now the goods are gone.
"I thought you guys just stole my goods and ran away, but I didn't expect you to actually dare to come back? Fine! I've never treated you badly all these years..."
At this moment, Brother Shaq felt a surge of anger, a murderous intent lurking in his chest, like a volcano about to erupt, barely able to contain itself... and he felt a burning sensation.
Shaq wasn't the only one feeling hot.
"What's going on? Is the temperature not set?"
"Damn... I feel like I'm getting a bit irritated..."
"I'd like a glass of ice water, please."
……
"Sauce, stop right there!"
In the corridor, Brother Shaq let out a cold shout... and another figure in the corridor visibly trembled, then quickly fled without saying a word.
How could Shaq let a traitor leave so easily?
If I didn't have something to hide, why would I have been trembling just now... Indeed, traitors deserve to die!
【Sand Boundary】!
[Gold] Shaq instantly appeared online, reached out and grabbed in mid-air, and yellow sand instantly appeared out of thin air, turning into a giant hand that grabbed directly!
But the next moment, [Shasi] blasted open the [Sand Realm] and ran away at an eerie speed... Shaq was taken aback at this moment, knowing full well the strength of his subordinates.
He hadn't expected the other party to escape so easily. Good, good, they had actually been hiding their strength right under his nose!
At that moment, Shaq became even more certain that his men were traitors.
His anger flared up instantly, but this was the Sky Dome Auction House, so he didn't dare to be too reckless and couldn't unleash a large-scale attack—but things would be different outside the auction house!
The commotion attracted several guards from the auction house. Shaq snorted coldly and turned into quicksand, merging directly into the ground.
Outside the auction house, Rao, disguised as "Sauce," suddenly stopped. As an assassin, his intuition, honed over many years, was spot on!
He suddenly looked down at his feet, and a sharp spike shot out in an instant!
Rao narrowly dodged the attack, feeling a chill run down his spine. But then dust and mist rose around him, and Rao was slightly alarmed, knowing that his opponent had caught up with him.
He didn't linger in the fight. This time, his disguise didn't involve using a transformation potion, which would easily expose him and arouse the enemy's suspicion. He needed to lure Shaq away to give Leo time.
"You're an idiot! You think we're really loyal to you? We're only loyal because you're still somewhat useful!"
Rao scoffed and instantly threw out a metal sphere the size of a fist.
The next moment, the sphere exploded, and a terrifying electromagnetic storm erupted on the spot!
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!
Amidst the magnetic storm, a sphere of yellow sand emerged from the ground. [Gold] Shaq surveyed his surroundings with a cold gaze. That damned traitor had escaped again!
A flash of savagery crossed Shaq's eyes, his killing intent growing increasingly uncontrollable, threatening to spiral out of control. He remained oblivious, shouting, "You think you can escape?!"
……
……
"Next up is item number five... Quiet!"
The auctioneer's gavel slammed down, his voice tinged with impatience—in all his years in the business, he had never seen such a noisy auction!
After several items were auctioned off, these usually well-mannered wealthy people in the audience started finding fault every now and then... This made the auctioneer wary; this was too abnormal!
Could it be that a competitor sent someone to cause trouble?
Perhaps it was the sound of the gavel striking that had an effect, and the room quieted down considerably—or perhaps the fifth item had piqued the interest of many, thus temporarily overshadowing the somewhat heated atmosphere in the room.
"This artifact was unearthed from an ancient ruin. It comes from a pinnacle silver world called [Nadia]. Based on our research, it may be a long-lost item of the [Hero Race] from the [Science Side]..."
Upstairs, in a private room that, while not quite the most luxurious VIP room, still offered an excellent view, Justin subconsciously tugged at his collar before downing his cold drink in one gulp.
He still felt thirsty, so he subconsciously pressed a button to have a waiter bring him some more drinks. Meanwhile, Fernando was watching the exhibits on the stage with great interest.
Justin admired his grandfather for his patience... Just then, Justin's expression changed slightly, and he felt the heat in his body increasing rapidly!
It can no longer be described as merely hot; it's scorching hot!
His entire body felt as if every cell was on fire, and the flesh beneath his clothes was throbbing violently—Justin was horrified; he knew this feeling all too well!
This is the prelude to physical evolution, the reaction that the genetic lock is about to be broken... But why is he just sitting here, boredly watching the people below auction things at this time, instead of doing this extreme training inside [Elden]?
Justin instinctively took a deep breath, feeling a surge of violent energy rushing to his brain, frantically stimulating his rationality.
He suddenly felt an urge to tear everything apart, and a scorching heat emanated from his pores... Before long, the temperature in the room began to rise.
Fernando suddenly frowned and glanced thoughtfully at Justin... His gaze shifted slightly as he casually touched a small purple jade gemstone, about the size of a pigeon's egg, on the necklace he wore.
The next moment, purple, semi-transparent crystals appeared around Justin's body, forming a cube... At this moment, Justin seemed completely unaware of this, his entire body turning crimson.
"Luckily, huh..."
Fernando muttered to himself.
……
"Your Highness?!"
Allen frowned and quickly looked at the Fourth Princess—the princess had taken the lead, winning the first item up for auction, and the waiter immediately brought the antique up.
Princess Phyllis is currently playing with it.
Upon hearing Allen's voice, Princess Phyllis simply raised her hand casually. "Take it easy."
Since being tricked by Leonardo at the Royal Academy, the Fourth Princess has raised her defenses to a whole new level, especially in terms of mental defense, where she is now armed to the teeth.
If she still falls for it after all that... then she has nothing to say. This [Marindo] is too much of a rip-off. Maybe she should just stay on her own spaceship and not come out.
While focusing on mental and physical defense, other areas will naturally not be neglected.
Allen raised his arm, looked at the bracelet on his wrist, and pondered, "An unknown component has been detected in the air, but it can only filter out 80%. It's not a known substance. It's being transmitted for testing... Based on the current analysis, it should be a special substance that can stimulate the central nervous system, and it might produce an irritability effect..."
Princess Phyllis nodded calmly.
She also felt a slight unease in her heart, but quickly calmed down—her protective suit could filter more, but she was still slightly affected.
"I haven't been in Marindo for very long, and day after day..." Princess Phyllis shook her head inwardly. How come she always runs into such a mess?
"I'll go out and take a look," Allen said in a low voice.
The fourth princess nodded... She also took a liking to the fifth exhibit, so she casually pressed the bid button, "[Hero Clan]... It seems to be a good collectible."
However, at that very moment, another offer followed.
The fourth princess frowned, because the bid came from another VIP room... the same level as hers.
……
……
"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to steal my customer?"
"What business is it of yours that I earned this tip through my own abilities?"
"You bitch!"
Two very attractive young ladies were tearing each other apart in the tea room, pulling hair and actually ripping their clothes... Xiao Xiao walked by with a smile, holding a thermos.
Just then, several men wearing special security uniforms from the Sky Dome Auction House walked by quickly.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao quickly stepped aside and lowered her head... The security personnel didn't pay any attention to an inconspicuous hostess.
Just then, the man in the lead suddenly stopped.
He had clearly heard the sounds of fighting and tearing coming from the break room.
As the auction house's security supervisor, Wells received three reports of brawls occurring inside the auction house right from the start.
Having worked in the industry for many years, he immediately sensed something unusual about this place.
"What happened inside?" Wells frowned as he looked at the rather unremarkable hostess in front of him.
“They…argued about the tip,” Xiao Xiao replied nervously.
“Why didn’t you stop it?” Wells stared at him and said.
Although reason told him that there was nothing wrong with the hostess, his intuition told him otherwise.
"I...I'm just a part-time student..." Xiao Xiao said timidly, looking like a weak and cowardly little girl who dared not cause trouble.
Wells frowned again, then looked at his subordinates behind him and waved his hand, saying, "Take these two women away, what kind of behavior is this!"
He had other matters to attend to. Two regulars at the auction had gotten into a fight over a verbal argument. Both were nobles, and the waiters couldn't handle the situation, so he, as the security supervisor, had to step in.
"Go back to your post," Wells then said, looking at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao suddenly said, "My lord, there's... there's something I don't know if I should say... I feel like everyone seems... acting strangely..."
Wells also vaguely sensed that something seemed to have happened, so he took two steps closer and said in a deep voice, "Tell me about it."
Xiao Xiao slowly raised her head.
Wells stared directly into the other person's eyes... and in that one glance, Wells felt as if he had been drawn into a terrifying vortex.
Xiao Xiao tiptoed and whispered something in Wells' ear...
A short while later, several subordinates dragged the two hostesses who were fighting out of the break room... They saw that their supervisor was standing still, but the ordinary-looking hostess from before was nowhere to be seen.
"director?"
"You go and deal with those two nobles first," Wells said calmly. "I have other things to attend to, I'll come back later."
The group nodded.
……
At this point, Leo had already taken the transformation potion and transformed into the form of [Shaq].
This transformation potion can even mimic the aura of a soul, comparable to advanced transformation magic... It's just a pity that the duration of a single bottle is not long, and it cannot mimic the target's abilities.
"It's almost time."
Leo estimated Rao's actions; the real Shaq had already left the auction house... All he needed to do next was find an opportunity to get close to his target.
Two female warriors from the [Jinxiu] squad were guarding the door to the VIP room... Leo didn't rush to appear as [Shaq]—he needed to get the person inside to come out on their own!
"Then, let the real banquet begin."
Leo chuckled and quickly left the corridor... At the same time, a button hidden in his pants pocket was pressed swiftly.
Meanwhile, outside the auction house, in the parking lot.
A miniature spaceship suddenly started up and slowly rose into the air... The parking lot managers were momentarily stunned.
"Hmm? Are guests leaving already?"
"I don't know, I didn't see anyone come by just now."
"Wait, something's not right with this spaceship..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the miniature spaceship suddenly accelerated and crashed straight into the main hall of the auction house—a distance that even the defense system couldn't react to!
The miniature spaceship crashed violently into the dome of the main building, and then its power unit exploded!
Boom-! ! ! !
"……earthquake?"
"An attack?!"
With a deafening explosion, the dome of the main hall was completely cracked open, and the shockwave instantly swept across the entire auction venue.
It overturned many people who were caught off guard.
Su Duo, the local person in charge, was both shocked and furious. Normally, given his ability to be the head of the Marindo Auction House, he should have been able to calm down and handle the situation quickly.
However, at this moment, Su Duo roared like a madman, "Wells! Where the hell have you been! How could you do such a terrible job?!"
The scene was chaotic, and no one paid any attention to Su Duo's roar.
The nobles valued their lives, and the immense panic caused people in the hall to scramble to escape. However, amidst the commotion, the first stampede occurred.
A young nobleman who had been knocked to the ground and stomped on twice instantly flew into a rage and, without thinking, pulled out a hand cannon!
The instant the gunshot rang out, a beam of energy shot out, and the head of another fat, big-eared nobleman was pierced through!
"Murder...murder!! Ah—!!!"
The woman's scream suddenly rang out, as if it were some kind of signal, completely driving the restless atmosphere to a frenzy!
……
"...What the hell is going on?"
Inside the VIP box, Long Xiruo frowned, looking at the broken dome and the suddenly agitated hall, and then looked at her man with a strange expression.
Boss Luo shook his head.
"Lord Levi, please come with me!" After leading Shaq out, Karns quickly returned to wait for him. "The scene has been attacked by an unknown force; it's too dangerous! We'll arrange for your immediate departure!"
At this moment, the two female warriors from the [Jinxiu] squad outside also pushed open the door and came out.
"Lord Li Wei, please leave with us."
They were even more anxious than Karns... This master before them was the princess's darling.
"That's the only way." Boss Luo nodded.
Escorted by Karns and two [Brocade] female warriors, Boss Luo and his group quickly left the VIP area—at this time, the venue was filled with people who were fighting each other like madmen.
Nobles were beating each other, servants were beating each other, and servants were beating nobles—even the auction house's security personnel were beating customers.
"This is insane..."
Karns broke out in a cold sweat, terrified... but also extremely agitated. Looking at the splattered blood, a primal urge made his mouth dry.
—A great opportunity!
In a corner of the chaotic venue, the moment Leo saw Levi Titus appear surrounded by a crowd, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly walked over!
Upon noticing someone rapidly approaching, the two female warriors from the [Jinxiu] faction instantly became alert.
But when he saw that the person was Shaq, he relaxed his guard... after all, this was Lord Levi's companion.
Thirty meters, twenty-five meters, twenty meters... getting closer!
Ten meters!!
Absolute position!
The more this happened, the calmer Leo became—he took a deep breath, a hint of panic and worry in his voice, "Levi, are you alright! What... what exactly is going on?!"
When Leo called out the name "Li Wei," neither of the two female warriors from the [Jinxiu] squad nor Karns reacted.
However, whether it was the maid, Long Xiruo, Xiao Baizhi, or Venus, they all looked at him at the same time.
The next moment, Venus flashed out and casually swiped her finger.
Leo's two arms were instantly torn apart and fell off.
Even after his arm was severed, it remained active, his fingers twitching wildly—and only then did the intense pain reach Leo's brain.
Blood gushed out from the cuts on both shoulders, and Leo screamed in agony.
……
"Tsk...useless!"
In a corner of the venue, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but curse under her breath... then she formed a hand seal.
In an instant, one after another, the people in the venue exploded, blood mist spread out, and then they expanded wildly.
In the blink of an eye, the blood mist that formed filled every corner of the scene like a thick fog...
