"D-Dream..."


    Even before Hux could say ''dream on'', he began to see stars and the world seemed to spin around


    him, as if he was drunk.


    "Guess the poison''s kicking in." Paxughed smugly as he watched everyone fall to their feet.


    That was when he turned toward Frank, and his breath left his lungs.


    Frank was standing there, firmly upright as if he was unaffected, even looking at Pax interestedly in


    turn. "I-Impossible!" Pax eximed in panic. "I watched you drink that wine. How are you still


    standing?!" Frank''s strength had certainly left him with an impression, as he soundly defeated the Four


    Kings.


    If Frank was not affected by the nervebreaker, everything he did today would be pointless!


    "The nervebreaker is a potent drug, but I am a master of medicine and have already seen through your


    tricks." Frank shrugged and pulled a silver needle out of his wrist.


    He threw the needle, which fell into a pot of seafood soup with an audible ng, abruptly turning its


    contents ck.


    "Hmmm.?"


    Ned was sprawled over the table but smiled when he saw that.


    He really thought that it was over for him, as he had never expected Pax to have the guts to try and kill


    him.


    But even as regret wed at him, his eyes lip up in delight when he saw that Frank was fine.


    "The nervebreaker didn''t work.?!"

    Pax stumbled backward in fear—the nervebreaker was his trump card, one which he bought from the


    ck market after spending copious amounts of money.


    He was not lying when he admitted that if were in Hux''s shoes, he would have done all he can to topple


    whoever was in charge and take over.


    What Hux did not know was that Pax was simply more resourceful and cunning—he had the


    nervebreaker prepared anyway, since he was ready to poison Ned anyway to be free from control.


    He simply had the perfect chance to use it today. but it just did not work on Frank!


    "What a shame, Pax Barzini..." Frank''s eyes narrowed sharply and murderously. "If you had left


    Draconia quietly, you could have led a good life with your life savings. But you had to do this, and you


    can''t me anyone else for your actions!"


    "Gigi!"


    Seeing that Frank was ready to attack, Pax turned and ran, while shouting for his hired assassin.


    Gigi was certainly professional. Without a word, she swiftly moved between Pax and Frank, leaping off


    the wall and aiming a flying kick at Frank''s face!


    "Shame."


    Frank had a glimpse of the enticing leg beneath her gown, along with the des abruptly shooting out


    of her six-inch heels.


    It certainly was not the time to be chivalrous either, as female assassins never relied on brute strength


    but their beauty.


    By enticing and bewitching their targets, they were always able to find the perfect opportunity and


    strike. As such, the most dangerous killers all around would not be the top hitmen with a high body


    count—it was these seemingly unassumingdies.


    And right now, Frank''s priority was not Gigi the assassin—it was Pax instead.


    If Pax managed to flee and trigger the bomb, he and everyone else would be killed!
