Chapter 748: Young Master of the Langdon Family

A man, tall and stern-faced, dressed in a gray suit embroidered with a pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl, walked in escorted by two bodyguards. The crowd that surrounded them parted to make way. Tina squinted her eyes and noticed the badge pinned on the man's chest, which seemed to signify an heir. Her eyes flickered, "The young master of the Langdon family?"

Carl seemed surprised, "You know me?"

Tina ceased her aggressive stance, though her muscles remained tense, "An elder in my family once mentioned you, Mr. Carl Langdon."

Carl, in his thirties, was about the same age as Brandon and also single, unlike Luke, who was known for his ascetic and stern demeanor. Carl, on the other hand, was always gentle and courteous in public, perfectly embodying the image of a charming gentleman. Particularly now, seeing Tina, a young woman in her twenties, he appeared even more gentle, "The young lady seems well-informed. Well then, no need for roundabouts. I don't want to resort to violence. Just hand over what you have, and I will let you go."

Carl casually gestured towards a black case, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Tina's eyes grew cold, her voice low, "What if I refuse?"

Hearing this, Carl didn't get angry. He gently waved his folding fan, his voice calm and pleasant, "If you refuse, then, I'm sorry!"

It seemed as if everything was prearranged.

At Carl's command, the Langdon family members swarmed forward. Tina handed the black case, containing a biochemical weapon, to Tristan, "Protect it at all costs. We can't let the Langdon family get their hands on this!" "Don't worry, Serena," Tristan replied, his voice firm.

Tina didn't say anything more. With a flick of her wrist, silver needles flew out, pinning about half of the Langdon family members in place, unable to move.

Carl narrowed his eyes, astonished by the prowess of the young woman he had encountered by chance. He had brought his most skilled subordinates, thinking the mission would be foolproof, but they were quickly incapacitated. Unable to maintain his composure any longer, Carl stepped up to one of his closest subordinates, "Silver needles blocking meridians? I never thought someone still mastered this skill."
