Chapter 306 East Continent Chamber of Commerce
At this moment, Qin Yimo was surrounded by a group of merchants.
These merchants were eagerly greeting Qin Yimo, introducing themselves, afraid of being overlooked.
Qin Yimo was tired of dealing with the conversations from various merchants and didn’t notice the approaching danger.
At this time, among the crowd surrounding Qin Yimo, there was a dark-skinned man with a murderous glint in his eyes.
He stood not far behind Qin Yimo, his right hand trembled slightly, and a very thin silver needle appeared between his index and middle fingers.
He held this needle and slowly approached Qin Yimo.
Qin Yimo was talking with two wealthy merchants in front of her, completely unaware of what was happening behind her.
The man quickly walked to less than half a meter from Qin Yimo, his lips curling into a cold smile as he raised his hand holding the silver needle and thrust it toward Qin Yimo’s back with extreme speed!
“Slap!”
At that moment, a hand reached out from nowhere and grabbed the man’s hand.
The man’s expression changed as he turned his head to see a young man looking at him with a smile.
“I’ve been watching you for a long time. I didn’t expect you would actually make a move,” said Qin Lang, his eyes cold.
The man’s face darkened as he tried to shake off Qin Lang’s hand but couldn’t.
Qin Lang’s hand was like an iron clamp, firmly gripping his hand.
“I have some questions for you, don’t be in a hurry to leave,” Qin Lang smiled.
As he spoke, Qin Lang twisted his right hand.
“Crack!”
The man’s hand was directly dislocated!
“Ah…”
The man screamed in pain, clutching his right wrist as he fell to his knees.
“Bang!”
Qin Lang raised his foot and kicked the man in the face, knocking him to the ground, then stepped on the man’s chest.
In just a few seconds, this man who wanted to harm Qin Yimo was completely subdued by Qin Lang.
The commotion caused by Qin Lang attracted the attention of everyone present.
Many merchants were startled and quickly moved aside.
Qin Yimo turned around and looked at the dark-skinned man who was being stepped on by Qin Lang, moaning on the ground, her beautiful face turning cold.
She had anticipated that they would make a move when she came to Nine Dragon Island today.
But what she hadn’t expected was that they would be so brazen!
Making a move in front of so many people!
“Sis, how should we handle this?” Qin Lang looked at Qin Yimo and asked.
Qin Yimo’s beautiful eyes were filled with frost as she said coldly, “Take him away immediately, I have questions for him.”
“Okay,” Qin Lang said as he bent down, intending to grab the man lying on the ground.
But at that moment, he suddenly noticed a vicious glint in the eyes of the man on the ground.
Qin Lang’s expression changed as he realized something.
At the same time, a strange noise suddenly came from behind.
From the four corners of this floor, four men suddenly appeared.
Their movements were very swift, and they had only one target – Qin Yimo!
They held sharp daggers and approached Qin Yimo’s side in an instant.
Qin Yimo’s face changed dramatically.
She hadn’t expected that there wasn’t just one assassin! There were four more!
All four men were dressed in suits, similar to the other merchants present, perfectly blending into the reception. No one had been able to notice anything unusual before!
Qin Lang turned around, concentrated his true energy into his fist, and threw a punch at the assassin closest to Qin Yimo!
“Bang!”
Qin Lang’s punch hit the assassin’s chest, sending him flying.
But this punch couldn’t solve the problem!
There were still three assassins, three daggers thrusting toward Qin Yimo, each strike potentially fatal!
Qin Lang’s reaction was fast enough, but he could only deal with one assassin!
The daggers in the hands of the other three assassins were about to stab Qin Yimo!
“Sis!”
Qin Lang widened his eyes and shouted.
In this critical moment, Qin Yimo’s mind went blank, standing there in a daze without making any reaction.
“Swoosh!”
But at this moment, a slightly piercing sound of air being cut through rang out!
“Slash!”
Streaks of silver light flashed through the air, accompanied by several screams of agony.
In just a few seconds, the remaining three assassins rushing toward Qin Yimo all fell to the ground, dying on the spot.
Their bodies were covered with more than a dozen sword marks, their entire bodies crimson.
The surrounding merchants exclaimed in succession, almost retreating to the walls.
The warriors from the East Region Chamber of Commerce who had dealt with the three assassins calmly took out a cloth from their waists, gently wiped the blood from their sword blades, and then put the swords back into their scabbards.
“Those three people… seem to be representatives of the East Region Chamber of Commerce!”
“Damn… that scared me to death, their swords were so fast, I only saw afterimages!”
“Can someone tell me what just happened? Why did they suddenly start killing people!?”
After a moment of silence, a wave of discussion erupted throughout the hall.
“Beautiful lady, are you alright?” one of the middle-aged men with a mustache looked at Qin Yimo and asked in broken Nine States language.
Qin Yimo came back to her senses, her face somewhat pale, and said, “I’m fine, thank you… sir, for your help.”
“Sis,” Qin Lang stepped forward and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I was careless…”
Looking at the bodies of the three assassins on the ground, Qin Lang felt a lingering fear.
If it weren’t for the three warriors coming to their aid, Qin Yimo might have been killed…
Qin Yimo quickly regained her composure.
At this point, five assassins were lying on the ground, three of whom were dead, and of the remaining two, one was seriously injured and unconscious, while the other was still conscious but filled with despair after seeing his companions’ failed action.
“Take that living assassin away for questioning,” Qin Yimo said to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang nodded, indicating that he understood.
The entire hall was permeated with a faint smell of blood, and many merchants present had fear in their eyes.
It was terrifying.
No one could have imagined that in broad daylight at a reception, so many assassins could infiltrate!
And some of them had even conversed with these assassins!
Qin Yimo stood on the ground, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, suddenly remembering something.
She looked around and found Fang Yu’s figure at the buffet table behind.
At this moment, Fang Yu was holding a plate with a sandwich on it.
He was eating the sandwich while leisurely chatting with Long Qianqian beside him.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yimo’s face was covered with frost.
The situation had been so critical just now, yet Fang Yu was standing aside eating a sandwich?
This was too much!
“When did your Long family start holding the Dragon Breath Conference?” Fang Yu looked at Long Qianqian and asked.
At this moment, Long Qianqian’s attention was completely on Qin Yimo and the bodies of the assassins on the ground.
An assassination in broad daylight would be terrifying for anyone.
However, Fang Yu seemed completely unconcerned about what had just happened and was instead asking Long Qianqian about the Dragon Breath.
“The Dragon Breath Conference… I’m not very clear, I heard my father say it’s a tradition passed down from our ancestors… but which specific ancestor he was referring to, I don’t know,” Long Qianqian answered.
“Oh,” Fang Yu nodded and didn’t say anything more.
At this point, Qin Yimo walked up.
“Miss Qin,” Long Qianqian seemed to know Qin Yimo and immediately greeted her.
Qin Yimo also recognized Long Qianqian, nodded, and responded, “Miss Long, long time no see.”
“Miss Qin, were those assassins… all targeting you?” Long Qianqian asked with wide eyes.
“Yes,” Qin Yimo nodded slightly without saying much more, but looked at Fang Yu instead.
Qin Yimo’s eyes carried dissatisfaction and confusion.
“The situation just now obviously didn’t require my intervention… you’re still alive and well, aren’t you?” Fang Yu said.
Qin Yimo took a deep breath and said, “I just wanted to ask if there are any other assassins on the scene?”
Fang Yu shook his head and said, “Probably not, but it’s hard to say.”
As he spoke, Fang Yu glanced at the three warriors standing not far away.
…
Due to the assassination attempt, the scene fell into chaos.
A few minutes later, a representative from the reception organizers announced that this reception was canceled to deal with the current situation first.
Qin Yimo had Qin Lang take away the only conscious assassin, intending to take him back for interrogation.
After that, Qin Yimo prepared to leave Lotus Fragrance Tower.
After walking out of the main entrance of Lotus Fragrance, the mustached man, accompanied by two other warriors, quickly followed.
“Miss Qin, please wait,” the mustached man called out.
Qin Yimo stopped and turned around.
“My name is Muto Ichiro, the vice president of the East Region Chamber of Commerce,” the mustached man introduced himself.
“Hello, Mr. Muto, what can I do for you?” Qin Yimo asked politely.
“I would like to invite Miss Qin to visit our chamber. Do you have time?” Muto Ichiro asked.
Qin Yimo was somewhat hesitant.
She had just escaped death, avoiding an assassination attempt.
She didn’t know if the other side had any other plans.
At the same time, Qin Yimo also wanted to extract useful information from the only conscious assassin.
The situation was quite complicated, and at this point, Qin Yimo didn’t want to wander around.
But Muto Ichiro had saved her life after all, and it might not be appropriate to refuse so bluntly.
“Miss Qin, I understand your concerns. Please rest assured, our chamber is absolutely safe. Also, if you want to interrogate this assassin, we can provide you with a good place to do so,” Muto Ichiro smiled.
Qin Yimo frowned slightly, turned her head, and looked at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu nodded.
“Alright then, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Muto,” Qin Yimo said.
…
After that, Qin Yimo and her group got into a car and headed to the headquarters of the East Region Chamber of Commerce.
The headquarters of the East Region Chamber of Commerce was located in the central area of Nine Phoenix Island, a three-story building.
The architectural style was very characteristic of the East Region, with floors and furniture all made of wood.
At each entrance of the headquarters, there were warriors with long swords at their waists standing guard.
This made the atmosphere of the entire chamber seem particularly serious, and one could even faintly sense a hint of killing intent.
It seemed that this East Region Chamber of Commerce was not simple.
