Chapter 1425: Chapter 47: Cross-Server Chat

The banquet hall played soothing music, and after politely declining a few handsome young men, the assistant carried a plate of sumptuous food to the corner. To her, these men with a faint fragrance are all sissies.

The assistant picked up a small piece of steak with her fork, and as the steak entered her mouth, she squinted her eyes, a content expression on her face.

Just as the assistant was enjoying the food, a slightly deep male voice came from behind her.

"It seems you don’t like this kind of atmosphere."

Upon hearing this voice, the assistant sighed inwardly. If she had encountered such a situation in the past, she would draw her gun from her waist and make the person reorganize their speech.

"Mm."

The assistant casually responded and continued enjoying the food.

"When I was in my teens, I also hated this fake atmosphere, everyone wearing masks, smiling masks."

A man dressed in a morning suit sat beside the assistant. He placed a plate on the table, containing only a few vegetables and a small amount of meat.

The man courteously smiled at the assistant and then continued to enjoy his dinner slowly.

"You are very unique and very suspicious."

The man swallowed his food and looked at the assistant with a full smile.

Upon hearing this, the assistant’s slender fingers formed a claw shape, ready at any moment to pinch the man’s throat.

"Calm down."

Su Xiao’s voice came through the assistant’s ear, informing her that the man sitting next to her was not a minor character; he was the son of the wealthy businessman Hennasen. Through surveillance equipment, Su Xiao noticed this guy named Orlando, who was recognized by many in the banquet hall.

"Suspicious?"

The assistant looked at Orlando with full confusion.

"Of course, everyone else is wearing masks, except for you, isn’t that suspicious."

Orlando’s attempt at humor was in reality a walk through the gates of hell. What he didn’t know was that this seemingly frail girl beside him had once bare-handedly killed a four-meter-tall brown bear. Pinching his throat would be as simple as snapping a twig.

"Pfft~"

The assistant laughed, not at Orlando’s ’humor’, but at the fact that he almost died due to a misunderstanding.

"In that case, I indeed am quite suspicious."

The assistant scanned Orlando up and down.

"So, what I said is somewhat reasonable. Let’s get acquainted, I’m Orlando."

Orlando began to chat with the assistant across frequencies. Their conversation seemed fine on the surface, but fundamentally, they weren’t on the same page. Orlando thought he was being funny, while the assistant nearly killed him.

"This..."

"As part of social etiquette, you should introduce yourself as well."

Orlando once again believed he was being humorous. However, the assistant’s disguised identity had a name that was really long, and in such places, a full name introduction was required.

"I am... Octavia Bartholomew."

The assistant couldn’t understand why there would be such a bizarre-sounding name.

"Miss Bartholomew of the Bartholomew Family? What a coincidence. My father was business partners with the Bartholomew Family in his youth. Inviting Miss Octavia here was quite reasonable, after all, my father is rather nostalgic."

It was obvious that Orlando was beginning to make idle conversation.

The assistant really wanted to kick him out, but she couldn’t do that. If she couldn’t suppress the anger within her and kicked Orlando away, she wouldn’t even be able to leave the banquet hall alive. Even if she could walk out alive, she would be beaten on a tree by Su Xiao.

"Mr. Orlando..."

The assistant displayed a smile and looked straight at Orlando.

"Does Miss Octavia have any advice?"

Orlando felt he was close to success.

"Bothering someone while they are eating is very impolite, so, out of courtesy, please shut your mouth, sir."

Although the assistant’s smile was sweet, every word she spoke was piercing.

"Uh~"

Orlando expected to be rejected, but he did not anticipate being told to shut up. Even though it sounded polite, it felt weird to him.

"Sorry to interrupt."

With gentlemanly grace, Orlando stood up. As he turned around, his facial muscles started twitching. Undoubtedly, today was embarrassing.

In the kitchen, Bubu Wang slowly approached the back door, took advantage of a kitchen apprentice opening it, and slipped out of the kitchen.

In several adjacent storage rooms, dozens of Alchemy Bombs were stuck throughout the rooms, amounting to about one Alchemy Bomb in total quantity. Bubu just needed to create chaos, not destroy the Flower Tree Restaurant.

Bubu Wang was ready. The assistant enjoying her meal wiped her mouth and reached under her skirt.

Orlando, who had been watching the assistant, was stunned seeing this. Perhaps having seen too many elegant ladies, suddenly encountering such a valiant woman, Orlando’s brain seemed to freeze.

Noticing Orlando’s gaze, the assistant turned her head and smiled with a cheeky grin, exuding a rogue soldier temperament.

It was the first time Orlando had seen such a girl. This business world tycoon was obviously attracted to the assistant’s wildness.

Sss—

The assistant walked along the wall and pressed a spray device. The colorless mist spread as she moved.

"What is that smell?"

"Is it... coal oil?"

"Must be a misconception, how could there be coal oil in the hall... Eh, I seem to smell it too."

The assistant picked up her pace, and soon a section of the banquet hall was filled with the scent of coal oil.

On the inner side of the banquet hall, Buck sitting behind Du Bo Yi Si suddenly put down his large wine glass, and his nose twitched.

"Here it comes."

Buck stood up with a hissing sound, leaving nearby dignitaries puzzled.

Buck ignored them and shot a glance around, quickly locking onto a person.

As the assistant walked slowly, she suddenly froze. A hair-raising feeling emerged. This eerie sensation made her feel like a small tree in front of a lumberjack with a Short Axe, and as a tree, she was powerless.

"Don’t turn your head."

Su Xiao’s voice reached the assistant’s ears, but unfortunately, it was too late. The assistant turned her head, her peripheral vision meeting a gaze.

"Heh."

Buck bared his threaded steel fangs, and the next moment, a blast came from the restaurant’s rear side.

The impact from the explosion spread, instantly shattering two doors in the rear of the banquet hall.

Splintered wood and flames rushed into the banquet hall, and before the guests could scream, the fire spread across the hall.

A whoosh, and half the banquet hall was engulfed in flames. The gaseous coal oil was ignited.

As the flames spread, Su Xiao in the hotel opposite the restaurant pulled the trigger.

Bam!

The sound of the gunshot was deep as cracks quickly spread across the hotel’s outer wall. Less than three shots would destroy this hotel from the Duke of Extinction’s recoil.
