Chapter 1010 912: Assassinating the Gambling King’s Grandson
"It's poisoned!" He Jie was the first to stand up. He looked swiftly at the female bodyguard beside him, his face turning cold and grim: "Xiaodan, what's going on? Why is there poison in the red wine you served? Are you trying to kill me?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the female bodyguard's eyes, Spiritual Breath gathered within her, transforming into a dagger-like Spiritual Artifact. She would attack He Jie at any moment, but just then, Yang Tian projected his Divine Sense heavily onto the female bodyguard.
Suddenly, the female bodyguard named Li couldn't move, her entire body stiffened. Her face turned extremely pale, and sweat as large as beans dripped from her forehead.
Although this female bodyguard Xiaodan was a Martial Artist, she was only at the Body Tempering Realm.
Yang Tian's cultivation had long reached the Half-Immortal Realm, making him the most terrifying presence in the Human Realm. With his Divine Sense bearing down, the female bodyguard Xiaodan couldn't move, her body stiffened instantly.
"Why are you standing there stunned? I'm asking you a question!"
He Jie shouted angrily, reaching out with a slap that landed heavily on the female bodyguard's face, a crisp slap sounding, leaving a shocking palm seal on her cheek.
Yet, the female bodyguard remained motionless, beads of sweat streaming down her forehead.
Those around, men and women alike, were puzzled.
But with such a cup of poisoned wine spilled across the table, it drew tension from the staff. Soon, a middle-aged manager walked over in a panic: "Seventh Lord, please rest assured, we will definitely find out who poisoned the wine!"
He Jie's face was full of anger, seeing the female bodyguard still standing there dazed, his face turned grim: "She served the wine, she's the most suspect. Detain her in the security room, I want her to tell me what this is about!"
A flash of menace passed through the female bodyguard's eyes, she began to struggle, but was terrified to find that powerful Divine Sense pressing on her like a mountain, immobilizing her. She looked around in fear, knowing clearly there was a Martial Artist nearby, more formidable than her.
Suddenly, she became nervous, thinking of getting out of there first.
But at this moment, she could not move, only allowing herself to be at others' mercy.
The middle-aged manager glanced at the female bodyguard, then waved his hand, signaling two security guards to take her away. Usually, this female bodyguard was favored by He Jie, people thought she was high above, but now seeing her being scolded by He Jie, they sneered internally: Wait till you're in the security room, you'll have your chance to cry!
Yang Tian glanced at the female bodyguard, then shook his head: "He, we should let her explain it herself."
"Yang…" He Jie frowned, but seeing Yang Tian personally speak, he waved his hand, signaling the middle-aged manager to step back, then asked the female bodyguard: "Why is the wine poisoned, you served these three cups of red wine, I'll give you a chance to explain!"
Although the female bodyguard couldn't move, she could still speak: "Master please spare me, I did not poison the wine."
"Just based on your word, you think I'll believe you?"
He Jie was extremely impatient, waving his hand signaling the middle-aged manager to detain the female bodyguard in the security room.
But Yang Tian spoke: "I believe she did not poison it."
"Yang…"
He Jie glanced at Yang Tian skeptically, but finally he waved his hand: "Forget it, let her go…"
The middle-aged manager hesitated for a moment but dared not delay, hastily signaling the two security guards to release the female bodyguard, who then looked closely at Yang Tian, hesitating to speak.
Yang Tian patted the female bodyguard's shoulder, instantly dispersing the powerful Divine Sense around her, restoring her ability to move, she looked at Yang Tian in fear: "You…"
"Go on, after this scene, you can't stay here any longer…"
Yang Tian said blandly.
The female bodyguard Xiaodan looked fearfully at Yang Tian: "Could it be that you're also a Martial Artist… The powerful Divine Sense just now was projected by you…"
Chen Xiaoli slammed the poker cards onto the table heavily: "We told you to leave, yet you refuse!"
The tone within that shout was filled with Demon Breath.
The female bodyguard trembled under the sound, almost collapsing, she struggled to take a step forward, eyed Chen Xiaoli and Yang Tian with fear, then quickly walked away, soon disappearing from the casino.
Once the female bodyguard left, Murong Yinghao quickly spoke: "Yang, what's the situation? It's obvious this female bodyguard intends to kill He, why would you say it wasn't her?"
He Jie also looked at Yang Tian.
Yang Tian assessed coolly: "She is a Martial Artist, she probably is here to kill He, but don't you want to know who's behind her?"
Upon hearing Yang Tian's words, He Jie realized: "You mean to suggest I follow this female bodyguard to find the mastermind?"
"That's right, let's follow now…"
Yang Tian was also curious about the female bodyguard Xiaodan being a Martial Artist and what kind of strength was backing her, so he and He Jie went down to the parking lot. He Jie drove a Ferrari, but Yang Tian had him bring a BMW, which he drove personally, carrying He Jie and Murong Yinghao as they sped ahead, channeling Spiritual Breath onto the BMW, suddenly making the car gallop ahead like a wild horse, quickly catching sight of the Honda Civic up front, with none other than the female bodyguard Xiaodan sitting inside, a cold-faced middle-aged man with her, his aura filled with killing intent.
"That middle-aged man next to Xiaodan, I've seen him somewhere…"
He Jie remarked tightly.
Yang Tian said nothing, instead he projected Divine Sense into the middle-aged man's body, quickly discovering he was a Martial Artist in the Nirvana Realm.
"He, keep thinking, who exactly is this middle-aged man…"
Yang Tian said, then used Spiritual Breath to hide the presence of the BMW, preventing the female bodyguard and the middle-aged man from noticing its existence.
The BMW followed closely behind the Honda Civic, driving for an unknown time until the Civic suddenly entered a mansion.
Yang Tian stopped, using Divine Sense to observe the mansion's interior.
The female bodyguard was brought to a study by the middle-aged man, soon a young man entered, the female bodyguard seeing him paled, kneeling on the ground with a slap: "Master, please forgive my failure…"
Clearly, the female bodyguard was sent by this young man to kill He Jie.
Yang Tian looked at the young man's face, then turned to He Jie: "Inside the mansion is a young man who looks very much like you, but younger. He was the one who sent the female bodyguard to kill you…"
Hearing Yang Tian's words, He Jie's face turned dark: "That must be my ninth brother! I remember now, as to why the middle-aged man seemed familiar, he's my ninth brother's bodyguard, I met him once five years ago, no wonder he looks so familiar…"
