Chapter 1810: King of Snipers
Chapter 1810: King of Snipers
After seeing Su Ziwen off on his seduction journey, Xiao Zheng took Su Zimo to sit down and rest nearby.
However, before they could warm their seats, Orland approached them.
He had changed his clothes and even redone his hairstyle, making him look exceptionally handsome. In the garden, countless women’s eyes were chasing his figure, filled with admiration, even greed.
Among the women attending tonight’s gala, many wanted to become Orland’s woman, and then transform from a grass chicken into a phoenix, instantly ascending into high society and becoming an envied noblewoman.
However, unfortunately, Orland didn’t even glance at them.
His gaze was firmly locked onto Su Zimo.
"Zimo."
"So you and Mr. Xiao are sitting here, making me look for you for a long time."
Orland walked up to them, smiling and saying.
Hearing his words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh. Xiao Zheng would never believe that Orland couldn’t find them. This was Orland’s house, with his spies everywhere.
"Hmm? Mr. Xiao, why are you laughing?" Orland asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "Nothing, just thinking the night is exceptionally charming. Thank you for the invitation, this banquet is indeed very nice. Especially the symphony orchestra, their performance is excellent."
"Mr. Xiao sure knows what’s good. This orchestra is indeed great. They have always been the England Royal Family’s exclusive orchestra. I had to exert a lot of effort to invite them to perform tonight." Orland said with a smile.
Because he deliberately wanted to show off in front of Xiao Zheng, he emphasized the word "exclusive" with particular force.
Xiao Zheng smiled and then said, "Got it, now are you done talking? If you are, then please leave. Don’t disturb Zimo and me while we’re chatting."
This remark was definitely an invisible dagger!
Orland’s smile froze, almost making him spit blood from anger!
He couldn’t understand why Xiao Zheng dared to say such a thing, clearly, this was his own house, yet Xiao Zheng told him to leave! Could there be someone more shameless than Xiao Zheng in this world?
Orland cursed Xiao Zheng countless times in his heart before finally calming down a bit.
He then said, "No rush, I actually came this time to invite Zimo to be my dance partner. I wonder if Zimo would be willing to dance with me?"
"No way!" Su Zimo answered resolutely.
Orland almost spat blood again, then glared fiercely at Xiao Zheng. In his heart, he blamed Xiao Zheng entirely for Su Zimo’s rejection.
Actually, Xiao Zheng was quite innocent in this matter.
Even without Xiao Zheng’s company, Su Zimo still wouldn’t agree to dance with Orland. However, Orland ignored this, pouring all of his hatred onto Xiao Zheng alone.
Orland took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, then said with a forced smile, "I understand, then I won’t disturb your chat any further. I’ll go greet some friends, if you need anything, feel free to find me."
After saying that, he turned and left in a fit of anger.
After Orland walked away, Su Zimo cautiously asked, "Brother Xiao, I just rejected him, will it cause you any trouble? I feel his look towards you is quite off."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng said nonchalantly, "What’s the big deal? If he hates me, then let him hate me. Anyway, there are already so many people in this world who hate me, one more doesn’t matter."
Upon hearing his words, Su Zimo finally relaxed completely.
Then the two resumed their small talk.
Xiao Zheng didn’t mind Orland at all, he seemed to be in a good mood, even telling Su Zimo a few dirty jokes, which made her blush, wanting to laugh but holding it in.
This scene was entirely within Orland’s sight.
"I’ll make him die!"
Orland roared internally.
He then sought out Divine Eye and Scorpion, asking these top-ranked assassins to prepare for action.
Divine Eye, with his beloved sniper rifle, went directly to the highest point of the castle.
As for Scorpion, he disguised himself as a waiter, holding a tray with three alcoholic drinks, and slowly walked with Orland towards Xiao Zheng and Su Zimo.
"Why are you here again?"
Su Zimo asked impatiently upon seeing him.
Xiao Zheng said nothing, his eyes landing on the waiter disguised as Scorpion, then a meaningful smile appeared on his face. However, once Orland’s gaze shifted to him, that smile quickly vanished.
"Zimo, don’t misunderstand."
"I just saw you sitting here bored, so I wanted to come and have a drink with you. These are three cocktails I asked the famous bartender Jack to mix for us, shall we try them together?"
As Orland spoke, he was preparing to hand the drinks to them.
Among these three cocktails, one had a special poison added by Scorpion. It was a chronic poison and wouldn’t be immediately lethal, causing death approximately three days later.
Three days later, even if Xiao Zheng dies, no one would suspect Orland.
This was Orland’s Plan A, the most perfect plan.
Besides Plan A, he also had Plan B prepared.
Comparatively, Plan B was more straightforward: Divine Eye would directly shoot Xiao Zheng. Although satisfying, it would bring Orland many troubles afterward, such as police investigations and public scrutiny...
Therefore, unless Plan A failed, Orland would never implement Plan B.
Orland handed Xiao Zheng the cocktail with the poison. Xiao Zheng, seemingly unaware, reached out to take the poisoned drink.
Seeing this, a flash of excitement crossed Orland’s eyes.
"Zimo, this is for you."
Orland quickly suppressed his excitement and handed another cocktail to Su Zimo.
Su Zimo said nothing, just reached out to take the drink.
Orland then picked up the last drink and said, "Mr. Xiao, this is our second meeting, despite previous unpleasantness, I hope we can become good friends in the future."
"I propose a toast to you with this drink."
After saying that, he drained his glass in one go.
Orland put down the glass and looked at Xiao Zheng expectantly, awaiting him to drink the poisoned cocktail. However, gradually, not only him, but even Scorpion also wore a look of awkwardness.
Because while Xiao Zheng held the glass, he showed no intention of drinking it!
