Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife

HAHAHA— Sure enough, as soon as these words were uttered, another burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

Su Linger glanced sideways with her phoenix-like eyes, her mockery unrestrained. "Competing with seventy billion against one hundred and fifty billion? Did you even graduate from elementary school? Can’t you understand such simple math?"

Jin Zilong sneered, "I reckon this country bumpkin can barely recognize a few characters."

"What does he know? He’s all brawn and no brains," Cheng Lin added mockingly.

He had suffered quite a bit at Chen Xiao’s hands. Now, at last, he could feel proud and elated. After all, with seventy billion against one hundred and fifty billion, Lu Rugao’s side held an absolute advantage. Chen Xiao was as good as dead. If he knew that the card in Chen Xiao’s hand actually held eight hundred billion, he would likely pack his bags and flee immediately, not daring to even stand near him.

Ye Hongyi also saw through Chen Xiao’s plan and spoke calmly, "Lu Rugao, I just can’t stand you. This fifty billion is truly everything I have, but I’m not afraid. I will fight you to the death. Even if I lose it all, I’ll accept it."

"I’m only worried you don’t have what it takes to claim it!"

Chen Xiao glanced over, wishing he could award Ye Hongyi an Oscar for Best Actress. As expected, his Second Senior Sister was the one who understood him; the Hidden Gate’s innate talent for deception was in their blood. The whole point was to make Lu Rugao and his cronies think that scraping together tens of billions was already a life-or-death gamble for them. That was the only way to lure them into the trap. He certainly couldn’t tell them that the card contained several hundred billion in cold, hard cash, could he? If they knew, what would be the point of this game?

Amidst the crowd’s mockery, Chen Xiao said coolly, "Lu Rugao, I told you I’d make you beg for mercy, and I’m looking forward to that day. Also..."

He glanced indifferently at Su Linger. "Bet a little less. My body can’t handle playing with a pair of sisters."

These words made both Lu Rugao and Su Linger’s faces flush with anger.

The two sycophants, Jin Zilong and Murong Lin, had their faces twisted in rage.

Murong Lin wanted to charge forward and have a go at Chen Xiao but was stopped by Jin Zilong. "Don’t worry. Someone will teach him a lesson."

Seeing the cold, dark look in Jin Zilong’s eyes, Murong Lin’s heart trembled.

Just then, two servers, a man and a woman, entered the hall pushing food trolleys. They moved calmly through the venue, distributing drinks and food to the guests.

However, just as they passed Chen Xiao’s group, they suddenly burst into action!

SWOOSH!

A dagger shimmering with a cold glint shot straight for Chen Xiao’s throat, closing the three-meter distance in the blink of an eye! The sudden attack was so fast that no one had time to react!

"Be careful!" Lu Wushuang reacted first, reaching out bare-handed to grab the dagger.

"You’re courting death!" the male assassin snorted, his dagger thrusting forward without the slightest pause.

Lu Wushuang’s hand clamped down on the blade. Blood instantly seeped out.

And in that hundredth of a second, Chen Xiao had already reacted.

He struck out with his palm!

The man met his palm strike, then flipped backward in the air and landed hard.

The other woman drew two Short Swords from her sleeves and lunged at Chen Xiao without hesitation. The arcs of her blades were so bizarre that they left him no room to dodge; he could only block them head-on!

His palms were immediately covered in Qi Force as he forcibly grabbed the two Short Swords. However, their sharpness still sliced through the defense of his Inner Strength, drawing blood from his palms!

These two assassins were actually Energy Transformation experts, and moreover, they were at the Late-stage Hua Realm!

Chen Xiao roared, and the Qi Force throughout his body surged. The force of the blast sent the woman stumbling back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

WHOOSH—

Suddenly, from among the guests, another person erupted into action, launching an attack on Chen Xiao!

A murderous intent, as cold as ice, spread throughout the entire hall. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

More than a dozen Silver Needles shot toward Chen Xiao, fanning out like a celestial maiden scattering flowers!

"Poison-coated Gang-breaking Needles!" Seeing this, Ye Hongyi’s eyelids twitched violently.
