Chapter 812

Chloe Collins’ eyes squinted in suspicion.

She shifted her gaze toward the crimson liquid. Slowly, her hand reached out to take it.

As her fingers clasped the stem, a smirk sprung onto the lips of Cold Lizard.

The remnants of a powdery substance that he had just slipped into her drink still lingered on the table.

It was the kind that could make one involuntarily shed their clothes upon consumption.

As Chloe raised her head leisurely, the insidious twist in his eyes intensified.

Suddenly, with a "splat," the wine splashed onto his masked face, his lips, his chest!

"I’ve warned you, no games. If you want to fight me, face me fair and square. Dirty tricks like these only make me look down on you more."

A murderous glint flashed in Cold Lizard’s eyes, quickly replaced by a burst of raucous laughter.

He stuck his tongue out, licking the spattered wine from his lips, and then abruptly reached out to grab Chloe’s neck.

However, the outcome caught him off-guard.

Not only did the girl evade his assault, but she even shattered her wine glass in a flash, instantly using its shards as a weapon. She held it against his neck.

Cold Lizard’s heart clenched; he had underestimated her.

Surprisingly, this newcomer, such a young girl who had been here less than a month, was an impressive fighter. Be it strength or speed, she could easily be classified as Level A. If she continued to train, she could potentially threaten his standing.

"Dare to move?" Chloe uttered coldly.

Slowly raising his hands in surrender, Cold Lizard stammered, "I wouldn’t dare. I’ve been wrong, miss! I shouldn’t have provoked you, please calm down."

Keeping a poker face behind her mask, Chloe flicked up the corners of her mouth, her eyes chillingly cold.

She applied a bit more pressure, intentionally bringing the edge of the shattered glass closer to his jugular.

Suddenly, she heard a strange noise behind her and quickly glanced back.

An arrow shot out from an unknown direction, she reflexively tried to block it.

The moment she blocked the arrow, her back felt numb and she collapsed onto the ground.

Cold Lizard peered down at the child, laughing sleazily.

In his hand was a remote control.

It controlled all the traps and mechanisms in the room.

He nonchalantly tossed the remote onto the couch and squatted down, his first move: to remove Chloe’s mask.

A good figure and youthfulness were just not enough; she had to have a pretty face as well.

Just as he was about to touch her mask, a knock on the door interrupted him.

"Who is it!" He snapped, clearly irritated.

"Master Boone, there’s big trouble!"

"Come in!" demanded Cold Lizard, displeased.

The assistant hurriedly rushed in and exclaimed, "Bennett White’s Platinum Order has failed. They reported that they originally could’ve successfully retrieved the package. However, Bennett chose to save some unneeded people at a crucial moment which resulted in the package being destroyed. We might have to repay a lot to the customer. The higher-ups are furious and the helmsman has already called a meeting to discuss what to do."

Cold Lizard slowly stood up; he burst into an evil laugh, "Isn’t he supposed to be the god-like figure in our alliance? Looks like even he has his downfalls."

His voice was laden with mockery.

His assistant chimed in, "Bennett is at the Obelisk for a disciplinary session. A lot of people are going to watch."

Cold Lizard’s laughter grew raucous. He cast a quick glance at the girl on the floor and instructed, "Lock her up downstairs."

"Let’s go watch the show. It’s not every day you get to see our godly Bennett humiliated, hahaha..."
