Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1907

1907 The Real Objective
Huo Yao slowly walked into the villa.

Inside the hall, a group of well-trained men stood everywhere on high alert.

Fan Shun seemed to already know what time Huo Yao would arrive. The moment she entered the hall, he slowly turned around with his blue eyes looking particularly bright.

He looked harmless and incapable of hurting anyone.

“Miss Huo, you’re here.” Fan Shun smiled slightly. He glanced at Min Yu and seemed unsurprised. He greeted him politely, “Greetings, Young Master Min.”

Min Yu looked as characteristically cold and distant as people said.

Huo Yao wasted no time talking to Fan Shun and got straight to her point. “Tell me. What do you want to talk about?”

Fan Shun raised his brow. “I thought you would ask me about Mr Huo first.”

Huo Yao looked at him coolly. “If you touch him, you can forget about living either. I certainly do not think you’re stupid, right?”

“Miss Huo, you’re so humorous.” Fan Shun did not take Huo Yao’s sarcasm to heart. He simply said, “I was just thinking that you and I could become excellent research partners.”

She had incredibly high brain power. That alone was very worthy of scientific research.

However, the young woman was very sharp, and even King was no match for her.

Fan Shun thought about King’s vital signs chip that had already gotten disconnected and his eyes turned dark.

“If that is what you want to talk about, my bad, I’m not interested in research,” replied Huo Yao mildly.

“That’s too bad. I thought Miss Huo would think carefully before making your decision.”

Fan Shun spoke with great pity. If no one knew better, people might assume he was genuinely harmless.

“Is that a threat?” Huo Yao smiled ambiguously.

“Of course not. I am very sincere about the offer.” Fan Shun shook his head. He raised his hand in mid-air and waved to his subordinate standing beside him. “Go invite Mr Huo and his friend over.”

The subordinate quickly walked off after receiving the order.

Everyone stopped talking. For a moment, it became very quiet in the hall. Even though the atmosphere was not tense, something seemed amiss about it.

At this moment, someone strode in swiftly from outside looking very angry. “Fan Shun, what is the meaning of this? Why did Mirage Base get blown up?”

Mirage Base had so much research going on in there… Shangguan Hou’s face looked annoyed. As he spoke, he finally noticed Huo Yao and Min Yu standing inside.

He was briefly stunned. He did not expect Huo Yao to show up here.

Fan Shun looked at Shangguan Hou with the same slight smile on his handsome face. “Hi, Mr Shangguan.”

At this moment, his subordinate came over with Huo Jinfeng and Shangguan Tong looking particularly polite.

Everyone encountered each other promptly.

Seeing this, Shangguan Hou instinctively detected something amiss.

When Fan Shun suddenly took Huo Jinfeng and Shangguan Tong from him, he already felt suspicious about Fan Shun’s intentions.

Judging from the situation, perhaps he wanted to release them and do the Huo family a favor.

In that case, it made sense that Mirage Base got blown up.

Shangguan Hou frowned deeply. He did not understand Fan Shun’s intentions for doing this no matter how he tried. Even if King had met with a mishap, Mirage Base was still a powerful establishment. It was impossible for Shangguan Yu or the Huo family alone to affect them.
“Fan Shun, what are you…” Before Shangguan Hou could finish his question, Fan Shun raised his hand to interrupt.

“If I can give you Mr Shangguan as well, do you think it’s sincere enough, Miss Huo?” Fan Shun did not look at Shangguan Hou. Instead, he looked straight at Huo Yao as he spoke.

He spoke so nonchalantly that it sounded as though they were just talking about some unimportant product.

Hearing this, Shangguan Hou’s eyes constricted. He asked furiously, “Fan Shun, are you selling me out?”

Although he did not know what Shangguan Yu and Fan Shun were discussing, he was no fool. Sometimes, it was easy enough to make a smart guess.

Fan Shun must have sold him out.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Hou swiftly pulled out his gun. Even though he was fast, he was no match for the well-trained super assassins in the hall.

The super assassins surrounded Shangguan Hou immediately even without getting an order from Fan Shun.

Fan Shun had clearly planned this ahead of time.

Shangguan Hou looked furious. He held his gun so tightly that his fingers turned white.

He knew he was no match for the super assassins.

Huo Yao glanced mildly at Shangguan Hou inside the circle of men. She had no intention of working with Fan Shun. “Do you think it’s hard for me to find someone?”

She wanted to handle Shangguan Hou, but not with Fan Shun’s help.

Moreover, the moment Fan Shun chose to meet in this place, it was clear that his intention was not as simple as they seemed.

“From the looks of it, Miss Huo has misunderstood me.” Fan Shun raised his brow. At this moment, he was very curious about Huo Yao’s intense hostility toward him.

After all, he had never spoken to her previously.

Huo Yao did not want to waste time talking to him. She walked to Huo Jinfeng and Shangguan Tong, but the moment she moved, Shangguan Hou hastily fired his gun at her from nearby.

He had fired a shot toward Huo Jinfeng.

As the bullet flew through the air, Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. Since she was too far, she was unable to help. She could only watch as the bullet went squarely for Huo Jinfeng. In a split second, Shangguan Tong by his side swiftly pushed him aside.

They barely missed the sneak attack.

Huo Yao relaxed her fingers slightly as they hung from the sides of her body. At this moment, Shangguan Hou did not stop. He raised his gun and fired a few shots upwards. The chandelier hanging overhead fell instantly. The lights instantly went dark.

Although it was not pitch black darkness, the unexpected darkness did make it hard for people to see clearly for a moment.

As people tried to get used to the darkness, Shangguan Hou had earned the chance to escape. In order to keep the super assassins away, he took out his smoke bomb and threw it to the ground.

He had specially modified the smoke bomb, so it also contained a cocktail of drugs to make people lose their senses. Even super assassins might get affected by it.

The moment the gun was fired, Shangguan Hou’s secret guards swarmed into the room and fought the super assassins.

Instantly, the hall went into chaos.

Shangguan Hou took the chance to retreat to the door.

When he got to the entrance, he noticed Huo Yao had already gotten there unknowingly. She stood expressionlessly with her back against the light. She looked cold and intimidating.

Shangguan Hou tightened his grip on the gun again. He knew Huo Yao was good, so he did not want to fight her. However, he had no choice but to fight her now.

Fan Shun had already sold him. Considering Shangguan Yu’s temperament, if he was unable to escape, then it was over for him.

Shangguan Hou narrowed his eyes and attacked Huo Yao without holding back. The other secret guards also received his orders to surround her.

Huo Yao pursed her lips. No one saw how she moved at all, but the secret guards were unable to even come close to her before she disappeared out of sight.

Seeing this, the secret guards fired a few shots around them. However, they were unable to hit anything. The atmosphere in the hall only intensified further.

Shangguan Hou could not detect Huo Yao’s position. Out of fear, he pulled a secret guard in front of him in an attempt to protect himself.

He kept worrying about the front. By the time he noticed the danger coming at him from behind, it was already too late.

Intense pain struck him in the neck. Shangguan Hou opened his eyes wide in shock as he mechanically raised his hands to clutch his neck. Warm fluid flowed from his wound and seeped through his hands.

It was impossible to stop the blood loss.

Shangguan Hou turned stiffly. Huo Yao looked cold holding a small glinting surgical knife in her hand with a trace of blood on it.

“You…” Shangguan Hou opened his mouth wide wanting to speak, but he was unable to make a sound.

He slowly lay down on the ground looking in one direction. Even though his eyes looked dead, they refused to close.

Other than Shangguan Tong, this was the last person from the Shangguan clan.

Huo Yao closed her eyes as complicated emotions flooded her heart.

When the secret guards around them saw Shangguan Huo dead, everyone stopped fighting and pulled out.

After the smog in the room dissipated, under the dim lights, only Huo Jinfeng and Shangguan Tong could be seen.

Fan Shun and his super assassins were nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, Min Yu had also disappeared.

Huo Yao’s eyes turned cold. She quickly walked up in front of Huo Jinfeng and Shangguan Tong.

Their eyes looked a little dazed and something was clearly wrong with them.

Huo Yao reached her hand out to help take their pulses. After confirming they were fine, she felt slightly relieved.

When Fan Shun brought them over, they were some distance away from her. Also, Shangguan Hou appeared out of nowhere distracting her. Hence, she did not have time to check on them first.

Huo Yao took out her silver needles. After applying acupuncture on both of them, the two of them finally went back to normal.

The moment Huo Jinfeng regained consciousness and saw his niece, he automatically said anxiously to her without thinking, “Yaoyao, run. The Fan family is very dangerous… Hang on. We aren’t at their estate.”

Huo Jinfeng reworded himself when he noticed something different about their surroundings.

“This is Country M’s largest region of unrest,” answered Huo Yao swiftly.

Shangguan Tong also regained consciousness. In reality, they were already injected with drugs when Fan Shun took them. Thanks to her slightly higher immunity against drugs, she regained consciousness sooner than Huo Jinfeng.

When Shangguan Hou fired a shot at Huo Jinfeng, she was able to push him aside. However, this also exposed her.

Fan Shun’s men quickly injected her with more drugs again, so she was unable to help Huo Yao earlier.

Hearing about their location, Shangguan Tong paused briefly before something changed in her expression.

“The Fan family created a mutation drug. The moment its subjects are injected with the drug, they are very likely to experience DNA alteration. Then, the subjects will become far more powerful than super assassins.”

The region of unrest was chaotic to begin with. Other than forces working in the gray area, most of its other residents consisted of fugitives and refugees. Also, this area was outside of governmental control. The moment it was used for experiments, it would bring a major catastrophe.

The more Shangguan Tong thought about it, the paler her face got.

The Fan family was able to create the drug using the core research data found in the Shangguan clan’s restricted area.
