Chapter 405: How Strong Is Fang Yu Really?
Fang Yu returned to the hall, walked directly to the buffet table, and took a small piece of strawberry cake.
Then, he sat at the dining table, eating leisurely.
The hall already had dozens of guests, distributed in various corners, chatting with each other.
The people present all had extraordinary identities, coming from various prominent families in Huaibei, belonging to the core members of Huaibei’s high society.
And all the matters discussed by them were captured by Fang Yu’s ears.
However, for now, these people were merely talking about businesses, wealth, and mutual flattery, without any substantial content. Even topics related to the martial arts world were rarely mentioned.
For Fang Yu, this information was meaningless.
But this trip wasn’t a waste; the cake tasted quite good.
“Hmph, such a grown man still eating sweets.”
At this moment, a childish voice sounded behind Fang Yu.
The ten-year-old little prince Apollo of the Nord royal family, holding a plate, sat down two seats away from Fang Yu.
On his plate were three different colored ice creams.
Apollo scooped a large spoonful, put it in his mouth, with a satisfied expression.
Fang Yu glanced at him, then looked toward a position not far away.
Apollo’s brother Ares was smiling and talking with Luoxi.
Fang Yu then looked toward another corner of the hall.
Purple Orchid’s subordinate, Luo De, was standing in a position most easily overlooked by most people, staring directly at Apollo.
It seems they’re preparing to take action.
Fang Yu looked at Luo De, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
Luo De noticed Fang Yu’s gaze, looked over, and saw the smile on Fang Yu’s face. His expression changed instantly.
“Could it be… the boss really revealed the plan!?”
Thinking of this, Luo De began to feel panicked.
He had absolute trust in Purple Orchid, but he truly couldn’t understand her actions!
How could she tell the enemy about such an important operation plan!?
Even if she feared Fang Yu, there was no need to do this! She could have lied! Or left this place first, then reformulated the plan later.
“Boss, did you tell Fang Yu about the target?” Luo De’s expression fluctuated as he asked softly through his Bluetooth earpiece.
At this moment, Purple Orchid was standing by the railing on the second floor, looking at the somewhat dense crowd in the hall below.
“Yes, I told him,” Purple Orchid replied.
“…” Luo De was silent for a moment, then asked with a suppressed tone, “Boss, why did you do this? How could we expose…”
“I know very well what I’m doing, and I know that exposing the target is the most foolish thing for an assassin to do,” Purple Orchid took a deep breath and said calmly, “But I had no other choice, I could only do this.”
“Boss, how could there be no choice? At most, we would just abandon the operation for a few days and then replan, right? But now you’ve directly exposed the target… If Fang Yu informs Apollo, or if he interferes… we’ll never have another chance to approach Apollo. If the Nord royal family becomes angry, even our organization could face a devastating blow!” ‘Sword Demon’ Clark, standing in another corner of the first-floor hall, said with somewhat agitated tone.
Faced with the questioning and dissatisfaction from her two trusted subordinates, Purple Orchid wasn’t feeling good either.
She bit her lip and said, “If I don’t do as Fang Yu requires, what awaits us isn’t just operation failure, but death.”
“I disappeared for a period before, but I never explained the reason to you.”
“Now I can tell you truthfully… two or three months ago, I was severely injured, near death… it took nearly a month to barely recover… and the person who inflicted those severe injuries on me was Fang Yu.”
Hearing these words, both Luo De and Clark’s expressions changed.
Indeed, Purple Orchid had disappeared for nearly a month before, completely out of contact, until she appeared at headquarters at the beginning of last month.
Afterward, facing inquiries from various subordinates, Purple Orchid remained silent, not revealing the reason for her disappearance.
Until today, Luo De and Clark finally learned that their boss Purple Orchid had disappeared for a month because she was severely injured by Fang Yu!
“This…” Luo De’s eyes were shocked, unable to accept it for a moment.
When they listed Fang Yu as a key person of interest, each department head had researched and analyzed him, finally concluding that Fang Yu possessed strength approaching or even exceeding that of a king-level assassin.
This level of strength was already powerful enough, and some even thought it overestimated Fang Yu.
But now, hearing Purple Orchid’s words firsthand, Luo De realized they had still vastly underestimated Fang Yu!
Who was their boss Purple Orchid?
Ranked third on the Dark List! One of the permanent council members of the World Assassin Association!
Her status and strength were deeply recognized in the underground world!
Many even believed Purple Orchid already possessed strength comparable to the number one on the Dark List!
On the Dark List, every ten ranks represented a cliff-like gap in strength.
And the closer to the top of the list, the more obvious this gap became.
The gap between the tenth and ninth on the Dark List was far greater than imagined.
Both Luo De and Clark ranked in the top ten of the Dark List.
But even the two of them combined couldn’t force Purple Orchid, ranked third, to use eighty percent of her strength.
This kind of strength was awe-inspiring!
Therefore, every member within the Purple Orchid organization was completely obedient to her, with no thoughts of rebellion.
Among them, Luo De had personally witnessed Purple Orchid in battle and knew how great her abilities were!
In Luo De’s heart, Purple Orchid was like a female war god!
But now, Purple Orchid personally told Luo De that she was no match for Fang Yu…
“Boss, you…” On the other side, Clark was also shocked and speechless.
Purple Orchid was severely injured by Fang Yu!?
Connecting this with Purple Orchid’s previous attitude toward Fang Yu, and the undisguised fear in her eyes…
“Boss, why didn’t you tell us this earlier? If you alone are not a match for Fang Yu, you still have us subordinates… If we act together, we can surely eliminate Fang Yu…” Clark calmed down and said.
“No.” Purple Orchid interrupted Clark and said, “There’s no chance. Even if all five of us, or even the entire organization goes against him, we are no match for Fang Yu… His strength is beyond your imagination.”
Purple Orchid had always been a person with extremely high self-esteem, almost to the point of arrogance.
Making her praise someone like this was more painful than killing her.
But now, she had no choice but to do so.
She had to clearly tell her subordinates what a dangerous figure Fang Yu was.
Otherwise, if these subordinates provoked Fang Yu again, the outcome would only be death.
“Boss, you’re underestimating us! I…” Clark said somewhat angrily.
Purple Orchid took a deep breath and interrupted Clark again: “I can tell you, back then I used all my strength and couldn’t even harm a single hair on Fang Yu… Do you understand now?”
“…”
Hearing this, Luo De and Clark fell into complete silence.
“Let’s not mention matters concerning Fang Yu anymore. I did tell him the target, but from the looks of it, he has no friendship with Apollo, and may even have some friction with him.”
“As long as we don’t actively provoke him, he most likely won’t interfere with our operation.”
“So, everything proceeds according to the original plan!” Purple Orchid commanded with a serious tone.
“…Yes.” Luo De and Clark came to their senses and agreed.
But after the call ended, the emotions of the two were tumultuous like waves.
Purple Orchid used all her strength but couldn’t harm Fang Yu in the slightest…
This indicated that the strength gap between the two was extremely exaggerated!
Just how strong was this Fang Yu?
Luo De and Clark unconsciously cast their gazes on Fang Yu, their eyes full of shock and awe.
…
Apollo ate the ice cream on his plate while looking at Fang Yu with displeased eyes.
“I really dislike you, you’re so disgusting. Why do you keep staring at me? Hasn’t anyone told you that this is very impolite?”
Faced with Apollo’s questioning, Fang Yu just smiled faintly without answering.
A little brat who emanated holy power and was simultaneously targeted by Purple Orchid.
What secret exactly existed within him?
