Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 411, page 188: Bloody Waltz
(I ate braised pork three days ago, got diarrhea and enteritis, spent the whole night on an IV drip, and only just got home to get back to work!)
(Keep up the good work, Ah Xian!)

Teaching experience is something parents should do.

Mendes was merely her reproductive tool, and Anna Clijsters certainly wouldn't teach him to be intelligent.

Mendes, whose secret had been exposed, paled for a moment, but he quickly recovered and kept his gun pointed at the accountant Dassault. Under the watchful eyes of the security guards, he left the second-floor platform.

Once the accountant, Dassault, saw that Mendes had left, he immediately told the security guards to put away their guns so as not to frighten the guests downstairs. He coughed, looked at Anna Kreigis, and said, "Your will, which you updated last month, is still valid."

“But if the ladies don’t finish the competition, even if the auction closes perfectly, Miss Ruan Wen will still lose, so she will not be included in the list of heirs.”

"Anna, my old friend, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

The calm farewell sent a chill down Ruan Wen's spine as he stood to the side. Things hadn't gotten to the worst yet; there were over thirty security personnel and more than fifty guns inside the villa. Even if the Hong Kong cops came, they could put up a fight.

"Eternal life continues!"

Anna Clijsters said nothing more than the Clijsters family motto, then waved goodbye to the accountant Dassault with her missing fingers.

Accountant Dassault nodded, looked at Nguyen Van, and said softly, "You must stay here and accept your fate."

Having said what needed to be said, accountant Dassault left through the back door with his two men.

The beast has been released from its cage; let's leave quietly while it's not paying attention to us!
Dassault returned to his office, took all the ledgers from the secret safe, put them into his waterproof backpack, took a bundle of Hong Kong dollars in cash, and then led his two trusted men to the tunnel to leave.

At the entrance to the tunnel, Duffy stood in front of the damp wall, and when he saw Duffy arrive, he gave a charming smile.

"Miss Duffy, if I'm not mistaken, you're not planning to leave this dangerous island with me, are you?"

Dassault stopped in his tracks, and two of his henchmen behind him raised their pistols and pointed them at Duffy's head.

"No! No! No! The show isn't over yet, of course I can't leave."

“The Kyligis family can live without my mother, but they absolutely cannot live without you, the accountant.”

“Going back to our ancestors, we are one family. The Cligis family prefers daughters to sons, while the Dassault family prefers sons to daughters. We don’t really know how many of us heirs have Dassault blood.”

Duffy shook his head, indicating that he would not leave for the time being, and emphasized the importance of the accountant, continuing, "I came to see you just to know if I am the winner this time? The great Duffy Cligis."

A woman consumed by the desire to win!
sad!

Accountant Dassault nodded and said definitively, "The penultimate item has secured Miss Duffy's victory. The auction has ended, but according to the rules of the game, Miss Ruan Wen has lost and will no longer be the heir to the Cligis family."

"You are the ultimate winner!"

"If Miss Nguyen Van is fortunate enough to survive, I will personally supervise her and ensure she receives the punishment she deserves."

Hearing the news of her victory, Duffy was very satisfied. She stepped aside and gestured for them to proceed.

The accountant, Dassault, opened the tunnel door and left with his two trusted men.

"You shouldn't have let old Dassault go. If he goes back to Paris, neither of us will survive!"

Mendes emerged from the shadows, frowning as he looked at his own daughter, his expression conflicted. He wanted to chase after her and send old Dassault to hell.

“Mr. Dassault hasn’t gone far. If you want to go and eliminate future troubles, I, as his daughter, will not stop you. If you are killed in retaliation, I will collect your body and transport it back to Paris.”

"The accountants throughout the ages have witnessed countless family coups, but none of them intervened. After all, only the victor can lead the Cligis family to a more glorious future."

"The crazy woman upstairs is right, you will never be a member of the Cligis family."

"But you can let me witness your courage: charge in and take down old Dassault!"

Duffy made a sarcastic remark before getting close enough to speak face-to-face: "As expected, you're just a small-time thug. You don't have any guts."

"Our friends should arrive soon, right?"

“I have already fired the signal flare. The SDECE (Legal Intelligence) personnel are near the high seas and will definitely arrive on time.”

SDECE agents were very interested in Anna Keligis, after all, West Africa was the French stronghold, and Anna Keligis had been doing business with France's enemies for a long time. SDECE had wanted to get rid of her for a long time.

Mendes was simply going with the flow, helping SDECE (the legal system) deal with this old witch with missing limbs.

"How heartless! There is an old Chinese saying: 'A day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, and a hundred days as husband and wife is as deep as the sea.' But I have not seen such deep affection in you."

Duffy still wore a warm, fake smile, but the words he spoke were extremely harsh.

"Say what you will, I'm going to find a safe place to wait for my friends to arrive."

"Hopefully, the lion upstairs can wreak havoc and help us solve our troubles."

After finishing his sentence, Mendes backed away, keeping his hands in his pockets the whole time. Only when he reached a safe position did he deactivate the safety on his miniature pistol.

"Miss, your pager is ringing!"

Seeing Mendes leave, Duffy's bodyguard quickly stepped forward and whispered something.

"Release three signal flares to get everything done before SDECE (Legal Affairs) can."

From beginning to end, Duffy's partners were neither his father Mendes nor the SDECE (French intelligence) behind him. He couldn't do business well by associating with these scoundrels.

At the tunnel exit, intrigue and backstabbing raged; inside the auction hall, chaos reigned.

The security supervisor silently prayed to God, hoping that the grand finale item wouldn't have any problems. "Click..."

A crisp sound reached Chi Mengli's ears, and the cage that bound him was finally released. He quickly opened his eyes, and with his pale right hand, he pulled out the sharpened wooden stick from his neck and shoved it directly into the throat of the security supervisor who had freed him.

Before he could react, the security supervisor felt a chill in his throat, followed by pain that sent waves of energy through his nerves. He covered his punctured Adam's apple with both hands, grunted a few times, and then collapsed backward.

The other security personnel present immediately sensed something was wrong. They quickly drew their pistols, ready to shoot the awakened lion.

But in terms of speed, Chi Mengli was superior. With a somersault, he grabbed the security guard who was drawing his gun by the throat, twisted him gently, and sent him to his death.

He then turned around and blocked the security personnel in front of him, reached into the waist of the short-lived foreigner and took his pistol, and fired at the other two people in the glass case.

"bang bang bang"

After several gunshots, bullets pierced the skulls of two security guards and struck the tempered glass display case. The blasted blood and brain fluid sprayed onto the spiderweb-patterned tempered glass.

This natural barrier prevents the security guards outside from figuring out the situation inside and makes them hesitant to fire.

Unable to see what was inside the glass display case, but hearing the thunder, Teacher Li knew his chance had come. He immediately elbowed the waiter who was trying to get up, knocking him to the ground with his legs spread wide.

The waiters standing in the corner immediately realized that the flamboyant old man was in cahoots with the auction item that had caused the disturbance when they saw the guest make a move. They rushed out with stun guns, ready to take care of the troublemaker, Teacher Li.

Xi Ren snapped the small mirror in half, turned around, and showed a charming smile to the waiters. She then gently slashed the nearest waiter, severing all his blood vessels and trachea.

At that moment, Teacher Li took out a small pill from her pocket, broke the wax seal, and slammed it onto the ground near the waiters, shouting, "Get out of the way!"

"There's a bomb!"

Upon hearing Teacher Li's words, Xiren quickly kicked off her high heels, lifted her skirt, and barefoot, dodging the shards of glass on the ground, ran towards the exhibition hall next door without looking back.

A small pill, about the size of a hawthorn pill, was dropped on the ground. Upon contact with the air, it immediately produced a chemical reaction, releasing a pungent cloud of smoke.

The waiters holding stun guns were the first to be affected, coughing violently and with tears and snot streaming down their faces.

Having used up his last trump card, Teacher Li picked up a shard of glass from the ground, put it in his pocket, and followed Xi Ren into the exhibition hall next door. He had done what he needed to do.

If even this handsome guy can't escape this mess, he can only blame his bad luck.

Gunshots rang out, smoke erupted, and someone shouted that there was a bomb. All the bidders in the room stood up. They were all prominent figures in the criminal world, so they were not frightened by the situation.

However, these bidders who received invitations from the Cligis family also realized that the Cligis family seemed to have lost control and it was time for them to leave.

Standing on the stands, Nguyen Van's face was ashen, but she gritted her teeth and ordered the security personnel to guard the various gates of the dock and villa, and asked the guests who were about to leave to go to the reception room to sit down.

We have to deal with Handsome Sheng and his gang today, otherwise the Cligis family won't be able to re-enter Asia for the next ten years.

Today, the center of Asia is not Tokyo, nor Seoul, but this island city of Hong Kong.

A promising start turned into a disastrous failure, which would forever tarnish the reputation of the Cligis family.

Thinking of this, Ruan Wen snatched the walkie-talkie from the bodyguard and said coldly, "If anyone dares to resist, kill them without mercy, leave no one alive!"

The security personnel, who received orders through their earpieces, all drew their pistols and advanced step by step toward the glass display case where Chi Mengli was located.

The eight-faced Buddha sitting in the cage was very happy. He was now just watching the show and enjoying the spectacle. He had already warned the ghost woman in the stands that Handsome Sheng was a bastard who had sneaked in to cause trouble.

That damned woman still doesn't believe me! She completely ignores my earnest advice; what a jerk!

Now they're in for a rough time!
Meanwhile, the safe in the water room, which was directly opposite Chi Mengli, watched the farce with indifference, showing no emotional reaction whatsoever.

Chi Mengli felt a headache coming on when she saw the security personnel in tuxedos outside the glass display case. The glass display case was no longer her protective umbrella, but had become a cage. She couldn't just sit and wait to die.

Thinking of this, he immediately pushed aside the corpse blocking his way and charged forward savagely.

The head security guard grinned maliciously when he saw the final item burst out of the tempered glass display case. Since Miss Ruan Wen had given the order to eliminate them all, he did not hesitate and decisively pulled the trigger.

"boom"

The lead security guard's pistol emitted a burst of fire from its muzzle, and a bullet spiraled out, heading straight for Chi Mengli's head.

The moment the gun went off, Chi Mengli reacted, his figure flashing like a ghost as he spun sideways at an angle that defied common sense, the bullet whizzing past his ear.

Taking this opportunity, he released the dead body that was used as a shield in front of him, rushed forward two meters, and came to the side of the shooter. He stretched out his long arm and his fingertips, like a snake, touched the acupoint on the neck of the security guard who had fired the shot.

The seemingly gentle blow caused the opponent's pupils to shrink sharply, and he instantly collapsed to the ground.

This was a life-or-death situation, and he would never leave himself any hidden dangers. He kicked forward with his toe, hitting the man who fired the shot squarely in the temple, ending the man's life.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Mengli moved swiftly, taking advantage of the moment when the thugs were caught off guard. Her legs kicked out in a series of lightning-fast kicks, her flying kicks accurately striking another gunman's temple. Her hands then hooked around his wrists and snatched the pistol.

Using the momentum of the air, he spun around, and the pistol turned into a cold light, smashing hard into the face of the gunman in the distance. The man was immediately covered in blood and staggered to the ground.

After Chi Mengli dealt with the two men, the remaining security personnel began to retaliate, but it was too late!
Because Chi Mengli was already in the crowd, she couldn't aim accurately at all. She could only fire cautiously, afraid of accidentally injuring her colleagues. The inaccurate bullets sparked against the wall.

Chi Mengli lightly touched the ground with her toes, her figure weaving through the hail of bullets like a swimming dragon.

His hands flew, palm shadows flying, sometimes striking the throat, sometimes slashing towards the heart.

With each strike, someone falls to the ground; the movements are fluid and graceful, like an elegant yet deadly dance.
