"Hmm?" Euphy smiled, "I don't believe you."
"You will believe soon," said the man from Mysterious Country as he shook his head and walked toward the English Gentleman who was watching him.
"Sir, may I ask if you are..." Before the English Gentleman could ask, the man from Mysterious Country leaned in and whispered, "Butler Walter... there are Card Assassins here, keep your voice down."
The smile on the English Gentleman's face remained unchanged. He stepped back and moved aside, and the man from Mysterious Country tactfully walked over: "At twelve o'clock and one o'clock directions, there are two assassins disguised as waiters. On the other side of the hall, there are three more disguised as waiters."
"In the banquet hall, there are assault rifles hidden and thirteen assassins disguised as guests, we must keep quiet about this."
The English Gentleman nodded slightly, he seemed to have no doubt about the man from Mysterious Country's words: "Indeed, these waiters stand unnaturally stiff, their right hands unnaturally close to their pockets, and their faces heavily made up... It seems this place has already been infiltrated."
"They plan to launch an attack at eight o'clock, aiming to kill Miss Euphy and Miss Karen, and shoot all the guests in the banquet," said the man from Mysterious Country. "We now have only four minutes left."
"At this banquet, all the guests are intimately connected with the Ranpelrouge Family—it's a community that should stand together..." said the English Gentleman mildly, "I can't believe they've actually hired Card Assassins..."
"So, who are you then?"
"I am an assassin from the Immortal Palace," said the man from Mysterious Country with a smile, "specifically here to protect Miss Karen and Miss Euphy. Be aware, we have only four minutes left."
"I will take care of the three assassins over there. When I make my move, immediately deal with the two in front, and then I will rush out to grab the assault rifle hidden under the wine table... There's no time left, let's start."
Without waiting for the English Gentleman to respond, the man from Mysterious Country immediately walked toward the other side of the inner hall, pondered for three seconds, then quickly turned and summoned a man in black standing in the hall.
As the man from Mysterious Country walked to the other side of the inner hall, standing in the corridor between the banquet hall and the inner hall, he suddenly turned and pulled out a silencer pistol!
Three shots!
All headshots!
On the other side, the English Gentleman and the man in black also quickly dealt with the two assassins disguised as waiters!
The noise from the inner hall naturally reached the banquet hall. The rapid sound of gunpowder explosions was a signal that could not be clearer; although it was not known why the event started early, the assassins hidden among the guests also promptly took action!
Amidst a flurry of gunfire, the assassin near the Wine Cup Pyramid table quickly squatted down to grab the assault rifle they had prepared earlier, only to find the table collapsing with a loud bang, the Wine Cup Pyramid crashing down onto his head.
The man from Mysterious Country calmly picked up the assault rifle, released the safety, switched to full auto, and sprayed the hall's assassins with bullets. Since the assassins had started shooting at the guests, all the guests were now lying on the ground, with only the assassins still standing.
However, this Mysterious Country man, with his gun set to full auto, amazingly managed to hit an assassin's head with every single shot. Even though the magazine was not yet empty, the suddenly arisen assassins in the banquet hall were all already dead!
Ren Suo watched the video on G site, the largest online same-sex dating site in Mysterious Country, and when he saw this scene, the whole screen was:
"Terrifying indeed!" "Terrifying indeed!" "Terrifying indeed!"
Using an automatic rifle to produce the effects of a sniper rifle in a mainstream movie produced by the Pacific Federation was almost like a cheat being used, and if released, it would be criticized by viewers.
Next was almost all about this man from Mysterious Country entering Transcendence Mode and going on a killing spree, from the ninth floor all the way down to the first floor. The English Gentleman and the man in black behind him turned into bystanders, watching the assassin hit his targets with every shot, their faces looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Boom—
The ninth floor turned to ash in a huge explosion, and by this time, Euphy, the man from Mysterious Country, and the guests had already reached the main hall on the first floor.
In the main hall on the first floor, the assassins also received the news that all the Hidden Ones had been completely wiped out. They planned to trap them on the first floor by sending people through the windows on the second and third floors to launch a pincer attack.
However, the marksmanship and movement technique of the man from Mysterious Country were too terrifying. Any assassin who dared show his face in front of him got his head blown off, and the man from Mysterious Country advanced while continually shooting, effectively suppressing over forty assassins on the first floor. Someone tried to throw a fragmentation hand grenade into the stairwell, but as soon as the grenade left his hand, the man from Mysterious Country shot it!
Boom—
This terrifying dynamic vision and marksmanship, along with the sirens and propeller sounds from outside, became the last straw breaking the assassins' resolve. Screaming, all but a few who were covering the retreat immediately fled the Black Thorn Building by any means available.
"It's safe now," said the man from Mysterious Country as he put down his rifle and smiled, taking a cigarette out of his pocket and starting to puff away.
"Miss, there are still..."
"It's alright."
The man from Mysterious Country turned his head and saw Euphy Lanpelucci stepping out of the stairwell towards him, smiling, "Now do you believe me?"
"Miss Euphy expressed her deep gratitude for your assistance," Euphy bowed deeply, and countless comments like 'pause successful,' 'glaucoma doesn't need pausing,' 'why pause when it's so flat lmao' flashed across the screen, causing Ren Suo to frown deeply and block the comments instantly.
"Although I don't know why you helped, the Ranpelrouge family will definitely repay you," Euphy said. "May I ask who you are, sir? Does the Ranpelrouge family owe you any help?"
"You have won the friendship of the Ranpelrouge family, and in the name of the head of the Ranpelrouge family, I promise you anything you ask for, even if it costs us everything."
The English Gentleman beside her slightly moved his mouth, but ultimately he said nothing—Euphy's stance was not just a way to express gratitude to this man from the Mysterious Country, but also to signal to the guests who shared their troubles that the Ranpelrouge family would never forget their friends and benefactors.
However, the man from the Mysterious Country just smiled slightly, turned his head, and waved behind Euphy: "Come here, come here."
Everyone looked and saw Karen Lanpelucci, clinging to her teddy bear like a little princess, hurrying over with her small feet covered in white tights, then hiding behind her sister. Euphy smiled and said, "Karen, thank this man... this uncle."
"Thank you, Uncle," Karen said crisply.
The man from Mysterious Country reached out and touched Karen's little head, saying, "My only request is her."
The faces of everyone present changed dramatically, even the usually smiling Euphy.
Even without the comments enabled, Ren Suo knew that a flurry of comments like 'death penalty at minimum,' 'already called the police,' 'this assassin is not that cold' would be flying across the screen.
"You need to protect her well," the man from Mysterious Country smiled faintly. "She is hope."
The man from the Mysterious Country withdrew his hand, picked up the cigarette dangling from his lips, "My mission here is done, I must return to the Fairy Palace now, if fate allows, we shall meet again."
"Sir, the police are all around outside. If you go out..." the English Gentleman began to advise, but the next second his eyes, along with everyone else's, were wide open in shock.
With a flick of his hand, the cigarette traced a parabola into the circular trash bin in the hall. As the cigarette touched the cigarette disposal area at the top of the bin, the man from Mysterious Country's body gradually became transparent.
The police who had entered just then watched, along with the Ranpelrouge's people, utterly horrified, as the man from Mysterious Country literally vanished into thin air, leaving behind only the cigarette that was still emitting white smoke in the trash bin as proof of his existence!
The video stopped abruptly at that point, and Ren Suo opened the comment section, where there was no top comment, only a hot comment, written in red at the top:
"'Assassin's Bloody Banquet' PV released today, expected to meet everyone next year, stay tuned!"
This was a very ordinary comment, yet it astonishingly had... 1234567... three million likes!
The online count on this site was only between a few hundred thousand and a million, how could a video that was released less than 12 hours ago have three million likes?
And the second hot comment pointed out just that: "The incident at the Black Thorn Building is already well known in the city, it just hasn't hit the papers yet, but there are many witnesses—including me—who saw an explosion on the ninth floor of the Black Thorn Building last night, and one of the guests I recognized was a professor from my university! Still pretending this is just a movie PV?"
"Can't the site take down this video?"
"Now, you can find this video on any website that can play videos online, including international ones. What's fake can't be real, and what's real can't be fake."
"Shocked, could this be our country's mysterious organization, the Northwest Kunlun Immortal Palace?"
"Even if it is from a fairy palace, it should be our Changbai Mountain Immortal Palace!"
"Why not our grand and rich Immortal Palace?"
"Foreign countries even have organizations that assassinate the wealthy in the cities, it's terrifying..."
Ren Suo then checked other websites and found that this video was indeed everywhere, and some had even identified all the characters who appeared in the video from past news photos, proving that everyone in the video really existed, even posting current photos of the Black Thorn Building—the ninth floor still emitting black smoke.
Seeing this, Ren Suo was beginning to sense that this was indeed a real video.
Everyone was enjoying the show, unlike a movie, which is fake; this video was real! Witnessing the attack by the assassin organization and the unparalleled performance of a man claiming to be from the Immortal Palace, most people from the Mysterious Country watched with a spectator's interest.
But Ren Suo was different because he knew that this was the outcome he had created with his own hands!
This result of repelling the assassin and ensuring the safety of the key figures had taken him several hours to achieve!
"Games, reality, Minor World..." Ren Suo muttered softly, returning to the living room to look at the strange circular gaming console. He pondered for a moment, picked up the controller, and pressed a button, and the circular gaming console immediately started.
"Welcome back, endless fun in the Mini World!"
"You still have a treasure box that hasn't been opened. Do you want to jump to the Content Preservation Vault?"
