My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1811: Assassin Rankings

"Mr. Xiao, why aren’t you drinking?"

"I’ve already finished, but you haven’t taken a sip. You’re really not giving me any face, are you?"

Orland feigned anger as he spoke.

He wanted to use this as an excuse to force Xiao Zheng to drink the poisoned wine.

However, Xiao Zheng seemed as if he hadn’t heard him, smiling while playing with the wine glass in his hand, causing the crimson liquid inside to swirl continuously. "The wine is good, but unfortunately, the person isn’t."

"Codename Scorpion, third on the assassin ranked list, made a name in South Africa two years ago by being hired to poison a well-protected rebel leader from country G. Later, he single-handedly poisoned the famous Warfire Mercenary Corps, thus altering the outcome of a major battle in the Middle East..."

"Brother Xiao, what are you talking about?" Su Zimo curiously interjected, "I don’t understand a word you’re saying."

Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "It’s fine if you don’t understand, as long as someone does."

Su Zimo’s suspicious gaze fell on Orland and Scorpion’s faces. She was surprised to find that Scorpion’s expression was somewhat pale.

That’s right!

Scorpion was frightened!

He never expected that Xiao Zheng would uncover his identity, and even know his past achievements so clearly! For an assassin, this is absolutely the last thing they want to happen!

Yet Xiao Zheng seemed oblivious to Scorpion’s facial expression, continuing to speak, "Your resume is impressive. But sadly, you lack the qualities of a professional assassin. As a qualified assassin, you need to perfectly disguise your true identity. But you, you just had to tattoo a scorpion on your hand—you’re practically telling your target that you’re Scorpion, aren’t you?"

"You determined my identity based on my tattoo?" Scorpion finally broke his silence and asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "Of course not, or rather, not entirely. Besides your tattoo, there’s also the stench on you that’s noticeable from afar."

Stench?

Su Zimo and Orland instinctively twitched their noses. However, they could only smell the perfume scent in the air, completely oblivious to any stench.

As for Scorpion, his face turned increasingly grim, "You can smell that?"

"Why wouldn’t I? Did you really think you were the world’s top poison master?" Xiao Zheng scoffed and said, "Your poisoning methods are indeed sophisticated. But when it comes to the world’s top poison master, it’s only Tang Wuming."

"You actually know Tang Wuming!" Scorpion called out in surprise.

Su Zimo, curious, asked, "Brother Xiao, who’s this Tang Wuming you’re talking about?"

Before Xiao Zheng could speak, Scorpion interrupted quickly, "Tang Wuming was from your Huaxia’s Shu Tang Sect, a true top poison master! His formulated poisons could achieve true colorlessness and tastelessness! But he clearly died five years ago, how do you know him?"

"Because he died at my hands," Xiao Zheng said casually.

"Tang, Tang Wuming died at your hands?" Scorpion was first stunned, then couldn’t help but curse, "Damn! You’re the Evil God!"

Looking at the composed Xiao Zheng before him, a coldness surged from Scorpion’s feet straight to his brain!

Even without seeing it, he knew his shirt was soaked with cold sweat!

How the world’s top poison master Tang Wuming died, others might not know, but Scorpion definitely did! Because he admired Tang Wuming, Scorpion once followed him for a period of time!

He still remembers the scene from that night.

It was a dark and windy night. Tang Wuming told Scorpion he was going to assassinate someone named the Evil God. At first, Scorpion didn’t take this seriously. After all, Tang Wuming was an assassin, always on his way to kill someone.

Only when half a month passed without seeing Tang Wuming return did Scorpion start to panic. He went out to look for Tang Wuming’s whereabouts, ultimately finding the battleground, with no trace of the Evil God, just Tang Wuming’s corpse!

Scorpion kept this matter to himself, not mentioning it to anyone. Fearing the Evil God’s retaliation, he hid for three years, only daring to appear two years ago.

Yet he never imagined he would encounter the Evil God today!

Scorpion couldn’t muster any thought of avenging Tang Wuming, looking at the smiling Xiao Zheng, his mind only had one thought: escape!

Escape as far as possible!

Scorpion felt his hairs stand on end, desperately wanting to rush out of the castle!

Xiao Zheng, seeing this, shook his head and said, "Now you’re thinking of escaping, do you think you can get away?"

Then he opened his five fingers, a massive force instantly pulling Scorpion, who had already fled ten meters away, right back to him. This scene made Orland wet his pants out of sheer fright.

As for the guests at the banquet, they were all shocked.

"What, what just happened?"

"Oh my God! What did I just witness? This Eastern man can use magic!"

"How did he do that? Can anyone tell me?"

Everyone stared at Xiao Zheng in disbelief, eyes wide as if looking at a deity. As for Orland, who wet his pants, no one paid him any attention now.

"You, you let me go!"

Scorpion screamed in fright, showing no composure of a professional assassin.

"No rush, you’ll be useful." Xiao Zheng said as he glanced at the castle’s high point.

At the vantage point, the Divine Eye had already set up a sniper rifle, observing everything below. His heart now held a tempestuous storm. Especially when Xiao Zheng glanced in his direction, he swore he felt his hair stand on end.

"He’s spotted me?"

"Damn it! He really spotted me!"

The Divine Eye was terrified but didn’t panic, aiming at Xiao Zheng’s head, he pulled the trigger.

The saying ’strike first’ wasn’t foreign to him!

Bang!

A loud bang shattered the tranquility and harmony of the banquet!

Xiao Zheng almost simultaneously with the gunshot, threw Scorpion into the air, and the bullet directly hit Scorpion’s body. Without even a scream, half of Scorpion’s body was blasted apart!

Limbs and blood continuously fell from the sky!

The crowd that had just been enjoying the spectacle fell silent then scrambled in fear!
