Chapter 777 - Chaos In The Hall
Tang Yin ran to her grandmother and tore her dress for Mistress Tang to cover her nose. She then covered her face with torn clothes. "Grandma, where are our people?"
Mistress Tang had a dark face. There were a hundred of experts inside this building. However, all of them did not appear in the hall even the lights shut down. There's only one reason, they might be occupied at this moment that prevented them from coming here.
It meant that there were many enemies outside. Being in the hall was probably the safest place for now. They have to bring down the people who invaded the hall.
However, even the butlers all have learned martial arts they could not fight without abandoning their master. These masters would surely not allow their butlers to play hero and leave their lives at risks.
Mistress Tang felt cornered.
Ming Zhi Yi truly prepared well for this sudden attack. They were foolish. She thought that Ming Zhi Yi would still lay low until retaliating. After all, tht man was a crazy maniac. The man did not care about the aftermath of this attack. They should not have judge his mind at the same level of normal person.
"Let's wait. Some of the experts would surely come here." Besides, she had already immobilize the men in the Tang mansion to come here quickly.
As her words fell, the main door suddenly opened. At the same time, the one-minute window passed and the lights came back in.
Relief washed over the guests who had been protected by their butlers. However, they could not relax yet when they saw that those who came in through the main door were full of blood.
Mistress Tang recognized them.? They were the strongest experts assigned outside.
The experts immediately tore their clothes and covered their faces. The smoke in the hall was thicker than outside.
They saw the hall was filled with smoke. There had been an attack on this place too. Their hearts could not help but clench. All the important persons are here. And they failed to protect them.
One of the experts gestured to the three bloodied men on his side, "Find Mistress Tang and Young Miss Yin. They are our priority. The rest follow me." The speaker then rushed towards the seven men who wore gas masks.
The men in gas masks threw their things aside and fought the bloody men from the Tang family.
The hall was filled with the sound of fighting and the terrified shouts of the guests. The butlers protected their master to hide at the side far away from the fight. The butlers looked at the main door. They were calculating their route of escape. Which side was safer? The main door or the backdoor?
But the backdoor was the place where those seven men came from. So they turned to the main door.
However, when they let out their qigong to check the main door, their hearts jumped.
They could not see clearly, but they felt the numerous qigong clashing outside. The fight outside was more intense than inside the hall.
When the expert from the Tang family came to Mistress Tang's side, Mistress Tang immediately asked them. "What's the situation outside?"
"Many of our men are ambushed. A large number of experts are in the building. They are currently fighting my brothers. We are the only ones who are able to escape from the fight for the time being and come here."
When Mistress Tang heard the report her face turned ugly. Even the Tang family's strongest experts fought a bloody battle just to win against those men.
"How strong they are?" Tang Yin asked. At this moment, the situation was truly dire. They were against time. The experts outside should buy time until the reinforcement arrived.
"Everyone one of them is powerful. They could fight eye to eye with me."
Tang Yin and Mistress Tang froze.
Those people were not normal martial artists if they could fight their greatest experts at the same level. Just learning that a great number of them were outside, the two shivered.
It turned out Ming Zhi Yi could pull this act because he had this great number of experts.
"Tell me what happened." Mistress Tang asked with a grievous tone.
The man recounted the story quickly.
When the power died down, the reporters outside suddenly threw smoke bombs at the entrance. Then they immediately killed the people at the front gate and at the entrance without sound. The experts only become aware of them when they pulled the trigger and their killing intent flowed out.
They could not contact the group who were guarding the backdoor. Seeing that those masked men entered through the backdoor, those people must have died.
"A great number of experts ambushed us so suddenly. We are occupied and could not come here immediately-"
His story was not yet finished when an old voice yelled loudly amidst the fight in the hall.
"Zhi'er!"
Their heads turned from the sound and they saw Xiong Zhi staggering in front of the man who wore a gas mask.
...
Earlier under the Xiong family table.
Xiong Zhi's hand was still held by Old Xiong.
Zhou Min told them what he heard from the Tang table. Even Zhou Min was calm outside, there was anxiousness in his voice, "We can't go out yet. It seems like it is more dangerous outside than here. Many experts are currently in a bloody fight. We have to wait for our people to come here."
Old Xiong had a grave face. It's seemed like they don't have a choice but to wait here until the fight died down and his people came.
Xiong Zhi took her phone. She had to warn Linfeng to not come here.
Like her, many people from the hall were calling their people to save them. Their voices were muffled by the clothes that were covering their faces. They trembled at every loud crash in the hall due to the fight. The guests were truly terrified. It was the first time they experienced something like this.
Xiong Zhi called Linfeng with trembling fingers. When the man answered she immediately told him in a stern voice.
"Don't come here. The hall is surrounded by Ming Zhi Yi's men. I am fine. Your father is protecting me." Xiong Zhi said without a break.
"Zhi'e-"
She immediately ended the call because Zhou Min gestured for them to be silent. One of the seven people did not waste their time on the fight and immediately come to the legendary tables.
As the man neared their table, Xiong Zhi felt her phone vibrated. She turned it off and hoped that Linfeng would realize the grievance of the matter and won't come here without preparation. When she thought of the distance from City Z to here, she relaxed a bit. It would take Linfeng an hour or two to reach here. By that time, the reinforcements would arrive.
The man in the gas mask was near them. He spoke to the speaker attached on his mask, "We only have five minutes! Don't waste your time and kill them! Go get our targets!"
The other six men immediately opened fire towards the Tang family's experts. They were afraid to open fire because of the perception that they might kill the targets.. But now that time is pressing, they could not care any more but kidnap the targets as soon as possible.
