In a matter of breaths, all the core members of the Planter family attending this gathering were dead, leaving only Warick Edward.
Warick Edward dropped his revolver, slumped in his chair, gasping for air, his face and body drenched in cold sweat.
He gasped heavily, then covered his face with both hands, crying out emotionally.
The other core members of the Planter family were killed by him, because if he didn’t, the other five would have done it.
However, he knew very well that killing the other five was far from the end of it; one could even say it was just the beginning.
The five people shot by the handgun didn’t die instantly with one shot.
In fact, these heads of the Planter family, who controlled immense wealth, had all basically awakened as superpower users.
For people of this status, after awakening, they would only absorb one kind of skill crystal core, which is the survival crystal core.
So, Lu Heng had just witnessed a spectacular scene. The five people shot were hanging on by various survival skills, but they lost the game of Russian roulette, and losing means dying.
Lu Heng finished them off with a few sword strokes, and finally walked over to Warick Edward.
Warick Edward slid from the chair to his knees, reaching out to clutch Lu Heng’s pant leg, pleading, "Lu... spare me, I’m willing to be your servant, I’m willing to do anything."
Lu Heng used his sword to lift Warick’s chin and asked, "What did you call me?"
Warick Edward quickly corrected himself, "Master, from now on, I’m your slave."
Lu Heng shouted towards the door.
The door of the conference cabin was pushed open from the outside, and the melodious music of the banquet hall flowed in.
It was playing a sarabande, one of the most favored dances of the 16th-century aristocracy.
The people on the yacht were all controlled, and no one remembered to turn off the music.
After the door of the conference cabin opened, a superpower soldier walked in, stood at attention, and saluted Lu Heng: "Captain, please instruct."
This superpower soldier was named Liao Zhenghong, thirty-five years old, currently a member of the Hidden Dragon Special Team under the command of Dragon Power.
Before being transferred to the special forces, he was the deputy section chief of the Intelligence Analysis Section of the Third Intelligence Department of the Southern War Zone, with the rank of second lieutenant.
Lu Heng found him when reviewing the superpower soldiers’ profiles, met with him once, and transferred him to the special forces.
Liao Zhenghong is of the spiritual system, possessing multiple spiritual skills, and his awakening talent is also a spiritual enhancement talent.
Therefore, the war zone specifically trained him to be a specialized talent in spiritual dominance, possessing the B-level skill [Commanding Will]. Combined with his spiritual enhancement talent, when using [Commanding Will], its effect is no less than Lu Heng’s [Spiritual Dominance].
For someone like Liao Zhenghong to have reached the rank of second lieutenant at thirty-five, his strength is quite promising within the military sequence.
The reason he was willing to transfer to the special forces was simple: Lu Heng promised to help him upgrade his [Commanding Will] skill.
This skill, ranked B-level, can completely control ordinary people and low-rank superpower users, but its effect is quite average against superpower users of the same level.
If he wanted to continue improving in the field of spiritual dominance, there were only two paths: either upgrade existing skills or acquire higher-level similar skills.
However, either path was very difficult.
So, when Lu Heng told him he had a way to help him upgrade the [Commanding Will] skill, he didn’t hesitate long and agreed on the spot to transfer to the special forces.
Liao Zhenghong participated in tonight’s operation from start to finish.
The reason Lu Heng could board the yacht in the identity of a Round Table Knight was Liao Zhenghong’s handiwork.
The method was simple, he used [Commanding Will] to control an aide of Lady Margaret, arranging personnel onto the yacht.
Lu Heng pointed at Warick Edward and said, "Leave the next matters to you."
Liao Zhenghong responded, walking up to Warick Edward, grabbing his arm, and plunging an alloy injector into his bone, with a "snap," injecting something into his arm bone.
"What is this... you guys..." Warick Edward initially wanted to resist, but soon realized his situation. He now had no choice but to either die or accept all the arrangements from this man from Da Xia in front of him.
The thing injected into Warick Edward’s arm bone was a signal device produced by Sikes Technology.
Liao Zhenghong spoke in English with a Lion Heart Empire accent: "This thing is a product of Sikes Technology, equipped with a micro-bomb. You can try to remove it, and we can just switch to someone else."
Warick Edward trembled, not daring to speak, tears and snot mingling together.
Lu Heng instructed, "You stay here as his secretary and quickly clear all branches of the Planter family, sending the information back to the base."
Liao Zhenghong nodded in agreement, "Yes!"
He came from the Southern War Zone Intelligence Department, and being a spiritual system superpower user, he was the most suitable person to control this puppet, Warick Edward.
Lu Heng left two special forces members to assist him and then walked out of the cabin on his own, heading to the banquet hall.
This Margaret was truly one of the top luxury yachts in the Lion Heart Empire, always incredibly lavish.
At this moment, Lin Zeyu was already wandering around the banquet hall, pouring himself a glass of Romanee Conti.
Upon seeing Lu Heng enter the banquet hall, he raised his glass and said, "Romanee Conti from ’85, what a class, drinking the same wine as me."
Liu Haiyang, having shaken off the seawater and boarded the boat, heard this and curiously asked, "Can you tell what year it is by taste?"
