Adian's eyes widened, his unusual double pupils radiating a sinister glow.
Nanyu spat out the chunk of meat from his mouth, baring his teeth as he looked into Adian's eyes, completely indifferent to Adian's intentions, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Your eyes are so strange!"
Perhaps realizing that Adian and Alei couldn't understand Greek, Nanyu switched to English, sneering as if trying to provoke them intentionally.
Alei stood by, displeased, watching this bound man still daring to be arrogant. If he hadn't still seen some value in him, he would have sent him to Hell right then and there.
Adian, focusing on hypnosis, didn't care about the sneer in Nanyu's speech or the mocking expression on his face.
"Me? I'm Nanyu, an Assassin!"
Nanyu's initially deranged face gradually calmed down, his gaze becoming somewhat dull, while sweat began to bead on Adian's forehead.
The hypnosis had taken effect. While Nanyu was still pondering whether Adian was a fool, his eyes were completely covered by Adian's unusual pupils.
Now Nanyu was essentially Adian's slave. Adian could learn anything he wanted from him—this guy would answer anything. Even if Adian ordered this man to die, he would probably obediently do it.
"What kind of people are you?"
Seeing the hypnosis take effect, Adian asked the question he was most concerned about.
Who exactly were these people, what kind of people were they, why had they attacked them, and was there another mastermind behind this?
"I am Nanyu, I am an Assassin, we are from Mingwang Pavilion!"
Nanyu muttered, finally shouting the name "Mingwang Pavilion." As he shouted, his eyes began to struggle, and Adian felt a pressure too.
The hypnosis was unexpectedly loosening. Adian could not afford to be careless; he immediately intensified his efforts, deepening Nanyu's hypnosis.
"What next, why did you attack us, how many are you, what exactly is the plan?"
Adian gritted his teeth, more sweat appearing on his face. Nanyu's face struggled; he was resisting, seemingly aware of Adian's hypnosis, constantly fighting to break free from it.
"We... Asura... who is Asura... Chen Fengnan must die, you all must die, Asura must die too!"
Nanyu's tone became increasingly agitated, and finally, his body started to thrash as if provoked by something.
"Kill you, kill you, kill you!!!"
What Adian hadn't expected was such fierce resistance from Nanyu. In the end, Adian was forced to abort the hypnosis. When Nanyu burst out of the hypnotic state, he went mad and lunged at Adian.
Alei struck with a punch, instantly deforming Nanyu's head, which flattened as if a deflated football, killing him on the spot.
"I killed him; that shouldn't be a problem, right..."
At first, A Lei only reacted subconsciously, wanting to protect A Dian, but he didn't control his strength well and ended up killing the man. Uncertain whether his actions were right or wrong, he awkwardly turned to look at A Dian.
"It's fine, we already got the important information out of him, and I think continuing the hypnosis would have been ineffective anyway. Killing him also served as revenge for our brothers."
A Dian wiped the sweat from his face. He had just ended the hypnosis, and in that vulnerable moment, he would have fallen victim to Nanyu's counterattack if it hadn't been for A Lei.
Having extracted the crucial information, they had Nanyu's body dragged away, then A Dian and A Lei went to find A Feng and A Yu and relayed the intelligence gathered through hypnosis from Nanyu.
"It was Mingwang Pavilion's people after all, damn it, I should have known it was them!"
Upon hearing that everyone outside was from Mingwang Pavilion, A Feng shouted angrily.
"No wonder, the people from Mingwang Pavilion must be here to take revenge on Mr. Chen."
At that moment, A Yu finally understood why they had been attacked in Europe.
Previously, Ning Fan had killed people from Mingwang Pavilion including the deputy pavilion master Dikas. After confirming that Ning Fan was the assailant, they prepared to retaliate against him. However, Chen Fengnan foresaw this and launched a fierce attack first.
Chen Fengnan was on good terms with Ning Fan; for him, this was no more than lifting a finger, but it also brought him trouble.
Mingwang Pavilion took note of Chen Fengnan and now they attacked him in Europe in a bid for revenge. They had been preparing for this operation for a long time.
"Those relentless pests. They don't dare to make a move in Huaxia, but overseas, they run rampant!"
A Lei said irritably, aware of Mingwang Pavilion's notorious reputation, filled with experts, just as dangerous as the Fang Guild, which Ning Fan had exterminated before.
"Hmph, in the end, they are just a bunch of rats afraid to show their faces!"
A Lei's words were full of disdain for Mingwang Pavilion, but his heart felt heavy. His disparagement was aimed at encouraging everyone.
However, his words did little to alleviate the mood; their situation was extremely perilous. Mingwang Pavilion was not to be underestimated, and currently, they were isolated, facing opposition from Mingwang Pavilion forces in Europe.
This mansion might not hold for long if this situation persisted.
"I think tonight was just a probe."
A Yu suddenly spoke up, further dampening everyone's spirits.
If tonight was merely a probing attack, the sheer power of these five assassins spoke volumes about the horror of Mingwang Pavilion.
It wasn't that A Yu was overly pessimistic; rather, her intuition told her it was so.
Her instincts had proven accurate multiple times, and at this point, the other three had no reason to doubt her, though they were now in a difficult position.
"Let's contact Ning Fan, at this point, he's the only one who can offer us real help."
A Yu thought of Ning Fan first since they had planned to contact him this morning, but current circumstances demanded immediate action.
They didn't know how long the manor could hold; initially optimistic about surviving a week, but having seen just the tip of Mingwang Pavilion's iceberg, A Yu realized they could no longer delay. Any further delay would only worsen their situation!
The time difference between England and Huaxia was seven hours, with Huaxia ahead. Right now, it was still daytime there—perfect timing to contact Ning Fan!
Meanwhile, Ning Fan, who was in Zhonghai, was secretly smiling at Huo Zhanyuan guarding the main gate, unaware that far away in Europe, a group of people were thinking of him.
