Chapter 411 The Devil’s Smile!

The sun had just risen from the east when Fang Yu heard a crashing sound from the adjacent guest room.

Fang Yu got up unhurriedly, went to the bathroom for a quick wash, came to the living room, poured a glass of water, and then walked to the guest room door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Violet, with her hands and feet bound, struggling desperately, like a fish out of water, thrashing and rolling on the floor.

“Doing such intense exercise early in the morning isn’t very good from a health perspective,” Fang Yu said with a smile as he looked at Violet.

Violet raised her head, her purple eyes staring intently at Fang Yu, her expression unpleasant.

When she woke up this morning and found herself tied up in an unfamiliar environment, unable to use any of her energy, her heart sank.

Recalling the last moment before she lost consciousness, she knew she had most likely fallen into Fang Yu’s hands.

This made her feel desperate.

As a top assassin and a powerful figure on the dark list, before she truly became powerful, she had encountered many similar dangerous situations, but with her strength and extraordinary courage, she had always managed to escape.

After establishing the Violet Organization, she became increasingly powerful and less likely to fall into such dangerous situations.

But now, she had fallen into the hands of her nightmare, Fang Yu!

This time, she had no confidence in escaping alive!

“What do you want to do?” After a few seconds of silence, Violet forced herself to calm down, looked up at Fang Yu, and asked.

“I’m very interested in that stone inside your body, so I captured you to study it properly,” Fang Yu said without hiding anything.

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Violet’s heart skipped a beat.

The crystal in her body was her greatest reliance, the foundation of everything she had today!

Losing this crystal would cause her to fall from the ranks of the powerful, returning to ordinariness!

She would rather lose her life than lose this crystal!

Looking at the faint smile on Fang Yu’s face, Violet felt increasingly uneasy, her breathing becoming more rapid.

She indeed could no longer sense the crystal’s presence in her body!

What exactly had Fang Yu done to her!?

Had the crystal already been removed from her body by Fang Yu?

“You don’t need to be so nervous, I won’t do anything to you for now,” Fang Yu smiled.

Although Fang Yu’s smile wasn’t particularly bright, it didn’t have any sinister intent.

But to Violet, it was the smile of a demon!

Fear and panic gradually took over her heart.

In front of Fang Yu, even though she was battle-hardened and the leader of a mature assassin organization, she couldn’t maintain her composure!

“…What will it take for you to let me go?” Violet bit her lip, trying her best to keep her voice from trembling.

“I already said I want to study it. Research is a process; if it’s quick, it might be done in three to five days, if it’s slow, it might not be done even in three to five years. You’re still young, no need to rush,” Fang Yu said.

Three to five years…

Hearing these words, Violet’s body trembled, her face turning pale.

“I’m going for my morning run now, goodbye.”

Fang Yu turned and walked out of the guest room, closing the door.

Violet stared fixedly at the guest room door, then rolled over, lying flat on the floor, breathing heavily.

It was very quiet around her.

Her profession was that of an assassin, and she knew very well that at any time, fear and panic were negative emotions that wouldn’t bring any help.

She had to calm down and think of a strategy to escape.

After about ten seconds, Violet heard a ‘click’ sound from outside the door.

Fang Yu had left.

This was an opportunity.

Violet sat up.

Her feet were bound at the calves with a relatively thick rope, and her hands were tied at the wrists behind her back.

This binding method wasn’t professional, and Violet could still stand up.

After standing up, Violet looked at the door in front of her, hopping closer, then turned around, using her bound hands behind her to twist the doorknob, successfully opening the door.

Violet turned around, hopped out of the living room, and looked around, collecting useful information.

In front of her was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, outside was a hundred-meter drop.

Escaping through the window wasn’t realistic.

So, she could only leave through the main door.

First, she needed to untie the ropes on her hands and feet.

Violet saw the kitchen, her eyes brightened, and she hopped into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, there was a rack with kitchen knives and fruit knives.

Violet immediately approached, grabbed a fruit knife with her back turned, and then slowly cut the rope on her wrists with the knife.

Although she couldn’t use her internal energy now, she was, after all, an assassin by origin, and her awareness and experience with knives far exceeded that of ordinary people.

“Snap!”

After cutting with the fruit knife for nearly a minute, the rope finally broke.

After freeing her hands, Violet’s face lit up with joy, and she immediately crouched down to untie the rope on her legs.

With her hands and feet completely free, Violet quickly left the kitchen, walked out to the living room, and headed towards the main door.

Opening the main door would allow her to leave this place successfully!

Violet placed her hand on the main door, about to twist it.

“Ah!”

At this moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain, groaned in pain, and fell to the ground.

“To untie the rope in just a few minutes without being able to use energy, I have to say, you’re quite impressive,” Fang Yu’s voice entered Violet’s ears.

Violet’s face changed dramatically, her eyes widened as she looked around, but she couldn’t see Fang Yu’s figure.

“Don’t bother looking, I’m currently sitting in a breakfast shop downstairs in the community. This voice is transmitted to you through the mark left in your soul,” Fang Yu said calmly. “And the pain you just felt was caused by me tearing at your soul using that mark.”

“To put it directly, your life is at my mercy.”

Hearing these words, Violet’s heart violently trembled.

At this moment, that pain originating from her soul attacked again!

“Ah…”

Violet cried out in pain, rolling on the ground.

After more than ten seconds, the intense pain finally subsided.

Violet was already covered in sweat, her face bloodless.

At this moment, she was no different from any other frail woman, no longer resembling the formidable assassin queen.

“You’d better stay put. Do you need me to bring you breakfast?” Fang Yu asked.

Violet was filled with despair, unable to answer Fang Yu’s question.

“No answer means no, saving me five yuan,” Fang Yu said.

…

Huaibei, Frost Cold Palace.

“Master, people from another family have come… specifically asking to see you,” a female disciple quickly walked to the Jingxin Building and said to Su Lengyun, who was meditating.

“Which family?” Su Lengyun opened her eyes and asked.

“It seems to be the Chen family…” the female disciple answered.

The Chen family…

Su Lengyun’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as she stood up.

Since Fang Yu drove away Han Tianyu last time, the Han family hadn’t come looking for them again.

After the collapse of the Zheng family, the martial arts world of Huaibei underwent major changes. Families like the Chen and Han families, which could only rank second or third in the past, and even some martial arts families that ranked further behind, were all competing to sit in the first position.

Those sects that originally depended on the Zheng family all flocked to other families, most of them being taken under the wings of the Han and Chen families.

Even the two major sects that had always insisted on independence had now taken sides.

In the entire Huaibei martial arts world, only the Frost Cold Palace had not affiliated with any family.

The arrival of the Chen family was actually within Su Lengyun’s expectations.

Su Lengyun came to the reception hall and saw five people standing in the hall.

One of them was dressed in a suit, while the other four wore black martial robes, all of them being martial artists at the Master level.

Seeing Su Lengyun in person, the man in the suit, his eyes flashing with amazement and greed, spoke: “Palace Master Su, I’ve long admired your reputation. I am Chen Yong, a third-generation direct descendant of the Chen family…”

“State your purpose,” Su Lengyun said coldly.

“Hehe, it’s like this. The current situation in Huaibei, I’m sure Palace Master Su is already very familiar with. All major sects are cooperating with families… and our Chen family is the one with the most advantages among them. We hope…” Chen Yong didn’t hide his intentions and directly started recruiting.

“Our Frost Cold Palace has insisted on independence since its establishment and will never become an affiliate of any family. This is a rule left by our predecessors, and I will not violate it,” Su Lengyun said.

“Rules are made by people and should change with the times. In the current situation, which sect can still maintain independence?” Chen Yong said.

Su Lengyun was about to speak.

“Palace Master Su, you should consider carefully. Previously, there were two other sects like your Frost Cold Palace that refused to become affiliates of families, but now… haven’t they all compromised?” Chen Yong said with a smile on his face.
