Chapter 489: Carnival Night
"Clang!" The Mobile Metal swiftly moved to his arm and blocked this attack for Xu Huo, after which he drew the Crimson Sword. However, the sword energy was blocked by something resembling an airbag that popped out from the other's belt.
Dodging the two bead-like explosive objects the other man flung over, Xu Huo switched into the metal protective suit. The diamond gloves on his hands transformed into the half-palm gloves "Stress-Free Wrap." From a distance of several meters, he drew a bloody gash on the nobleman's neck.
The lethality of "Stress-Free Wrap" was quite limited; this slash wouldn't be fatal. But seeing his own blood made the man panic. He immediately tried to imitate Palada and flee outside. However, Xu Huo wasn't about to give him that chance. He directly used "Two-Half Magic Trick." Unable to move, the man watched as his lower half separated from his body. Panic-stricken, he toppled sideways. The next second, his body's chest was pierced through!
The man, not yet dead, looked at his own chest with a shocked expression. Yet, the next second, the sword was pulled back out. Xu Huo, now standing behind him, flicked the bloodstains off the blade, and with a backhand motion, lifted the quilt covering the bed.
Although some bloodstains had been cleaned, half of this deceased woman's chest and half of her buttock had already been carved out. Her originally beautiful eyes had lost their luster and were wide open in a stare. Her body was covered in bruises from beatings.
Re-covering the body with the quilt, Xu Huo dragged the not-yet-dead man over, making him sprawl by the bedside. Using a fruit knife he casually grabbed, he pinned the man to the bed, forcing him to maintain a posture looking at the woman. Then, adjusting his clothes, he calmly left the room.
Meanwhile, Palada jumping out from the sixth floor didn't attract much attention. He himself smashed through the glass of a fifth-floor room, jumped in, then fled to the corridor. Choosing the nearest elevator, he used his wristband authorization to go directly to the ninth floor.
"This man is insane, daring to attack a noble!" Probably a bit muddle-headed, Palada didn't recognize Xu Huo. He rushed all the way to the main hall on the ninth floor, barged through the door, and shouted, "Someone is attacking nobles!"
In the main hall, over twenty people were sitting in twos and threes. These people were dressed luxuriously and carried themselves with elegance. Upon seeing him, they merely gave him a glance. Captain Matt paused briefly before continuing his previous topic. "Tonight will be a unique and novel banquet. To increase the fun of the banquet, I specifically gathered some players to board the ship. Please be careful not to get scratched by the prey while hunting."
