Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Return to the Country

The three of them had just stopped and exchanged a couple of words when Mario, who had been following them, appeared, clutching a dagger in his hand.

A large red figure concealed his face, making it impossible to discern his features or gender, adding an air of mystery about him.

"Who sent you?" Lin Mengyao asked, her voice slightly tight as she watched Mario intending to move closer. She wanted to know who was behind targeting them. However, Xu Ke and Sheng Wenhao had no doubts. They had already guessed who hired him to commit murder, but they could only say that the person wasn’t professional enough. Instead of taking down Sheng Wenhao at the moment he let down his guard, they circled around, ultimately sacrificing their own life to pay for the scheme.

"Dead men don’t need to know much. You just need to shut up and die quietly." Mario held the dagger and cast a cold stare at Sheng Wenhao through the puppet, his eyes carrying a sense of relentless determination, making him seem more formidable than before.

"I don’t need you to take him down. I’ll deal with the trouble I caused." Sheng Wenhao stopped Xu Ke from intervening. "Just protect my sister-in-law. Let me show you what I’ve become in Africa." Sheng Wenhao skillfully pulled a surgical knife from the inner pocket of Xu Ke’s clothes.

The thin and sharp blade was gently brushed by Sheng Wenhao’s fingers in his hand. "Not bad, the knife is quite sharp and handy. Order one for me when we return," Sheng Wenhao nudged Xu Ke with his elbow. After Xu Ke nodded, he happily turned his gaze back to Mario, but this time with an impatient look.

"Are you insulting me?" A muffled voice emanated from inside the puppet.

wearing a costume, the length of the surgical knife wasn’t sufficient to pierce through the costume and also strike the assassin’s vital points for a lethal blow. Hence, the range within which Sheng Wenhao could effectively attack was pitifully narrow, whereas the assassin had no such concerns. His dagger was already more advantageous compared to the surgical knife in Sheng Wenhao’s hand, and he was accustomed to killing while wearing the costume, so he moved without any restriction.
