CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 280: COMPANION, STUN BATON, GHOST_3

Their eyes were icy, their movements swift, and their target clear — straight towards Xu Hao on the sofa!

"Who are you?!"

Xu Hao reacted quickly, almost springing up from the sofa the moment the door opened.

Relying on an almost instinctual sense of danger, he grabbed the heavy crystal ashtray next to him and hurled it fiercely at the face of the person in front!

However, the opponent had clearly anticipated his skill.

The one on the left crouched down, deftly avoiding the bottle, while his right hand flicked out, a black gleam stabbing straight at Xu Hao’s abdomen.

Xu Hao’s pupils contracted sharply, as he narrowly sidestepped, only then realizing it was a serrated military dagger!

Meanwhile, the one on the right had already closed in, a black object in his hand emitting a sizzling arc of electricity, thrusting fiercely at Xu Hao’s waist.

It was a high-powered stun baton!

Surrounded on both sides, Xu Hao roared angrily and kicked over the heavy coffee table in front of him.

With a loud crash, the overturned coffee table successfully blocked the right-side man’s baton attack for a moment.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Xu Hao suddenly leaned back, evading the sweeping dagger from the left with an unbelievable Iron Plate Bridge maneuver!

Yet he was injured, caught off guard by a two-pronged attack, and his movements seemed slightly sluggish.

The man on the right, missing his first strike, flicked his wrist, the baton releasing a terrifying blue arc again, aiming precisely at Xu Hao’s neck!

A fierce determination flashed in Xu Hao’s eyes, ready to endure the injury to take down one of them when, from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xiao Qing, accidentally fallen in the melee.

His heart tightened suddenly, and his actions paused for a split second.

In high-level combat, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant!

Zzzap—

Dazzling electric light flared as the stun baton made solid contact with Xu Hao’s shoulder!

The powerful current surged through his body instantly, his muscles convulsing violently before he could counterattack, followed swiftly by a heavy kick to the forehead.

Xu Hao’s vision blackened immediately, his body convulsing uncontrollably and collapsing to the floor.

Before his consciousness completely faded, he used his last ounce of strength to roar:

"Don’t... harm her!!"

The two jacketed men did not pause.

One swiftly approached, binding the limp Xu Hao tightly with a strap, while the other walked towards Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing’s eyes widened in terror, about to scream for help outside.

The man moved quickly, delivering a precise chop to her nape, neither too heavy nor too light.

Xiao Qing didn’t even moan, collapsing softly onto the carpet.

They harmed no one else; their target had always been Xu Hao.

Working in perfect coordination, they scanned the surroundings vigilantly, then dragged in the two lackeys lying at the doorway.

Then, one hoisted the unconscious Xu Hao, while the other shut the door, quickly leaving through a hidden back door in the room.

The assault, subdual, and retreat all happened in just a few seconds.

Clean and efficient, silent, showing extreme professionalism and training.

But just as the two disappeared through the back door with Xu Hao.

A blurry shadow zipped past the end of the hall at a speed beyond rational belief.

It was astonishingly fast!

Even whipping up an abrupt gust, causing the uniform of a passing waiter carrying a fruit tray to flutter soundly.

The waiter only saw a blur, as if something "whooshed" by, unable to even capture its form, leaving only a mysterious chill down his spine.

His heart raced suddenly, and he instinctively rubbed his eyes, looking around in disbelief.

But upon close inspection, the hallway was empty, as if everything just now was a mere illusion.

"Strange... Could it have been a ghost?"

The thought made him shiver, and he hastily increased his pace to leave.
