Chapter 404 Encountering Violet Again!

 

This woman was none other than Luoxi.

“I just heard Zhao Xuan mention a man named Fang Yu… I guessed it was you!” Luoxi said with a captivating smile.

“So you two know each other?” Zhao Xuan asked, surprised.

“Yes, I definitely met Mr. Fang earlier than you did!” Luoxi nodded and walked closer to Fang Yu.

A waft of perfume reached his nostrils.

Fang Yu frowned slightly and shifted his position to increase the distance between himself and Luoxi.

“Beautiful lady, I am Ares, prince of the Nord royal family. May I have the honor of knowing your name?” At this moment, Ares stared at Luoxi with a charming smile and spoke in a gentlemanly manner.

Only then did Luoxi notice Ares standing in front of her, and immediately responded in English: “My name is Luoxi. Nice to meet you, Prince Ares.”

Before attending tonight’s reception, her family elders had instructed her to actively socialize with Ares.

“Miss Luo, I have visited the Nine Provinces many times, but I have never seen a woman as beautiful as you…” Ares smiled at Luoxi.

“Thank you for the compliment.” Facing Ares’ undisguised praise, Luoxi’s cheeks turned slightly red as she lowered her head.

Her shy demeanor further stirred Ares’ heart.

“This woman… I must have her.”

Ares narrowed his eyes, making up his mind.

More and more people filled the living room, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively.

Among them, many were martial artists with considerable skill, all at least at the Grandmaster level or above.

Fang Yu turned his head and immediately spotted a familiar face.

Han Qi.

At the moment, Han Qi was conversing with someone else, unaware of Fang Yu’s presence.

Fang Yu looked to another side, and a figure caught his attention.

That woman had also come.

Fang Yu thought for a moment, the corner of his mouth curving into a slight smile.

He turned to Qin Lang and said, “You all continue chatting, I see someone I know.”

“Oh… alright,” Qin Lang nodded after a moment of surprise.

Luoxi frowned slightly, her mood souring.

She had just arrived and hadn’t even had a chance to talk with Fang Yu!

Fang Yu walked straight toward a corner of the living room.

In this spot, a voluptuous purple-haired woman was talking with a withered-looking old man.

Beside her stood a red-haired man.

This woman was none other than Violet, the founder of the world-famous assassin organization, the Violet Organization, who had previously crossed paths with Fang Yu!

The old man standing beside her was her capable assistant, the head of the Violet Organization’s West Asia branch, nicknamed “Living Dead” Roderick!

The red-haired man was the head of the Oceania branch, nicknamed “Sword Demon” Clark!

Anyone familiar with the Dark Rankings would be shocked speechless to see these three appearing together!

All three ranked within the top ten of the Dark Rankings!

Violet ranked third, Roderick sixth, and Clark eighth!

These three were the core strength of the Violet Organization! They were also the strongest trio in the entire world’s Dark Rankings!

The simultaneous appearance of these three in one place… meant that the Violet Organization was planning something extremely important!

Violet wore a form-fitting black short dress, showing off her fair legs, attracting the gaze of many men.

But her aura was so powerful that nobody dared to approach her.

“There are more people attending tonight’s reception than we planned, a mixed crowd… should we change our plan?” The skeletal old man Roderick asked quietly.

Violet frowned deeply, her purple eyes filled with coldness.

“Execute as planned! No matter how great the cost, we must obtain it!”

“Understood.” Roderick bowed slightly.

“Long time no see.”

At that moment, a hand suddenly patted Violet’s shoulder!

Violet’s expression changed dramatically, and she instinctively reached for her weapon at her waist!

How could someone approach her from behind without her noticing, and even touch her shoulder!?

How was this possible!?

The subconscious alarm made Violet’s body emit a faint purple glow, with energy almost bursting forth from within.

“Don’t be nervous. If you cause a commotion, your operation tonight will probably be ruined,” Fang Yu said with a smile, patting Violet’s shoulder.

Violet turned to see Fang Yu’s face, and her heart contracted violently!

How could he be here!?

“You are… Fang Yu!?”

Roderick and Clark beside her, who had seen plenty of Fang Yu’s photos before, quickly recognized him.

“What do you want!?” Clark’s eyes turned bloodshot, his killing intent rising.

“Don’t move!”

At this moment, Violet coldly rebuked.

Clark glanced at Violet, then at Roderick.

Roderick was also signaling with his eyes for Clark to remain calm.

Although Fang Yu was Violet’s number one enemy, now was absolutely not the time to make a move!

Tonight’s operation was crucial, and if they moved against Fang Yu now, the entire plan would be ruined!

Clark calmed down, withdrawing his killing intent.

Violet looked at Fang Yu, the purple in her eyes shimmering.

After Fang Yu appeared, she couldn’t maintain her composure; her heart raced, and her breathing quickened.

She still hadn’t forgotten that night on North Ring Mountain, when she was beaten by Fang Yu without any ability to fight back.

That was the time she had been most severely injured, and also her most desperate moment.

That night, she had surpassed her previous limits, activating 50% of the crystal within her body!

At that time, she was full of confidence, thinking she could defeat Fang Yu.

But unexpectedly, before Fang Yu, she was still just a punching bag!

There seemed to be no difference between 40% and 50%.

Both resulted in a one-sided beating!

For the proud Violet, the psychological impact of that battle was far more intense than the physical pain!

She had thought she was powerful enough, possessing strength surpassing 99% of people in the world.

But after fighting with Fang Yu, she realized how laughable and childish that thought was!

With all her might, she couldn’t even harm a hair on Fang Yu’s body!

This meant that the gap in strength between her and Fang Yu had reached a terrifyingly vast level!

Describing it as heaven and earth might not even be enough!

After that night, Violet began training rigorously again.

She wanted to activate the crystal in her body to 100%!

She wanted revenge!

She wanted to defeat Fang Yu and trample him underfoot!

During this period, Violet’s training reached hellish levels.

Even in her dreams, she gritted her teeth, wanting revenge on Fang Yu!

But now, Fang Yu unexpectedly appeared before her eyes…

She had certainly improved since their last encounter.

But inevitably, she was still no match for Fang Yu.

Violet looked at Fang Yu, breathing heavily.

She had to admit, she felt fear.

The moment she saw Fang Yu, her iron-hard heart suddenly developed cracks!

Fang Yu was like her nightmare, making her feel suffocated!

“Why are you staring at me? What? Want to fight me again?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Violet’s heart trembled, and she immediately shifted her gaze, unable to speak for a moment.

Seeing the usually dominant Violet reduced to this state, Roderick frowned and said, “Fang Yu, we know a lot about you, and you probably know about us too… but the current situation is that it’s best for everyone not to make a move.”

“No, I can make a move anytime. It’s you who can’t afford to act rashly,” Fang Yu smiled.

Roderick’s expression changed.

Fang Yu’s words sounded as if he knew about their operation plan for today!

But this plan was known only to Violet, Roderick, and Clark; even within the organization, no one had been notified!

How did Fang Yu know?!

“Roderick, no need to say more. I say we just kill him…” Clark said with a sharp gaze.

But halfway through his sentence, he met Violet’s terrifying gaze and abruptly stopped.

Violet took a deep breath, turned to look at Fang Yu, and coldly asked, “What exactly do you want?”

“Tell me, who is your target here?” Fang Yu asked.

The Violet Organization was an assassin organization; when they moved, it was either to kill someone or to seize some precious items.

And a target that would require Violet’s personal involvement would clearly be someone of significant status, position, and strength.

Among those present, only Qin Lang and Prince Ares met these conditions.

Fang Yu wanted to know if Violet’s target was Qin Lang.

If so, who had hired her to do this.

This way, Fang Yu would know who had been trying to move against the Qin family.

Hearing this question, Violet showed hesitation.

Seeing that Violet was seriously considering it, Clark urgently said, “Boss, how can we tell him! This will ruin all our efforts!”

Roderick frowned, clearly also disagreeing with Violet revealing the plan.

But Violet’s considerations were different from theirs.

She knew well the terror that Fang Yu represented.

If they angered Fang Yu, there would be no talk of operations or plans.

All three of their lives would be lost here!

“I can tell you. Come with me,” Violet finally decided, turning to walk out of the living room.

“Boss!” Clark’s face was filled with disbelief.

This operation was so secret that even other branch heads didn’t know about it.

But now, just before the operation, Violet was going to tell the plan to an outsider, and a mortal enemy at that!?

What did this mean!? Had Violet gone mad!?

But Violet had already walked out.

Clark was extremely anxious and wanted to follow to stop Violet, but was held back by Roderick.

“The boss must have her considerations for doing this. Don’t be impulsive.”

“But…” Clark’s face turned ashen.

“Trust the boss,” Roderick said.

Clark had no choice but to close his mouth and stay put.

Fang Yu followed Violet out of the hall to a quiet path beside the entrance.

“This is safe enough. Speak.”

Fang Yu stopped and asked.

Violet looked at Fang Yu, bit her lip, and said, “Our target… is Prince Apollo of the Nord royal family.”

“Oh? That little boy?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.

It seemed this matter was unrelated to Qin Lang.

“Yes,” Violet nodded, unwilling to say more.

“Are you going to kill him? Or what? Be more specific,” Fang Yu said.

“Do you know Apollo? Why are you asking so much?” Violet frowned.

“Because I want to confirm whether you’re lying,” Fang Yu smiled.

Violet was silent for a moment, then said, “We won’t kill him, but take him away entirely. Our client wants Apollo himself.”

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes at Violet and asked, “Is that all?”

“That’s all,” Violet looked directly at Fang Yu and answered.

Fang Yu stared at Violet for three seconds before turning to leave, saying, “In that case, it’s none of my business. Good luck.”

Shortly after Fang Yu left, Violet also returned to the hall, immediately spotting Apollo licking an ice cream cone while standing next to Ares.

Violet’s lips curled into a sinister and cold smile.
