Before Dion could pull the trigger, the bullet pierced through his skull. It hit Dion right in between his eyebrows and left a small, black gaping hole in his forehead.
Immediately, the young man's face froze. Horror was eternally etched on his face as he fell backward and collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.
He stopped breathing.
Fade snorted softly before he turned around to face Sasha. He warned coldly, "As I've already said, the strength of a real martial artist is beyond your imagination. Don't try to pull any tricks on me. You won't be as lucky as you were just now."
With that, Fade got into the car and drove out of the villa.
Although the car had left, Sasha stood rooted to the ground in the courtyard. Her face was still wearing an expression of complete shock. She was frozen by the fear at the spot.
It wasn't until her subordinates' voices rang in her ears that Sasha came to her senses.
She tried to take a step forward, but her legs were as soft as butter. She couldn't seem to control her limbs nor her senses, and she fell to the ground, fainting instantly.
Meanwhile, Fade and Lily were driving in silence. No one in the car spoke, creating a stifling atmosphere.
Worried that Lily was frightened, Fade put on a smile on his face and initiated a conversation, "Lily, it's late. I didn't eat anything at the banquet just now. Let's go grab supper now."
She shook her head and said, "No, I'm not hungry."
Fade then asked, "Are you thirsty then?"
Lily shook her head again.
Fade was about to say something else to change the topic, but Lily smiled at Fade and assured him, "Fade, don't worry about me. I'm fine. I got used to it since the time you blocked a bullet for me in Bay City."
Her words made Fade feel slightly upset. Distress welled up in his heart. He said to her, "Lily, you have worked hard. Let's go back to the hotel and rest."
"Yeah!" Lily nodded.
After parking the car, Fade and Lily entered the hotel, ready to go upstairs.
However, just as the two of them were about to enter the elevator to go upstairs, Fade suddenly saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the hotel.
Hence, he stopped and told Lily to go up alone. In the meantime, he walked towards the hotel entrance.
At the entrance of the hotel, there were two young people around the age of eighteen. They were busy whispering to each other. At the same time, they glanced around the hotel constantly, seeming a little anxious and restrained.
The boy was holding a stack of banknotes in his hand, and his knuckles had turned white because of the excessive strength in his grip. He said to the girl, "Yuka, we're already here, so let's go in."
The girl was hesitant and said, "Teddie, forget it. This hotel is too expensive! I don't want to waste your money."
Yet, the boy patted his chest and declared, "Yuka, it's your birthday. What's more, your idol Nita An is also staying in this hotel tonight. Giving you the chance to stay in the same hotel as your idol on your birthday is not a waste of money."
"B- but, this hotel is still too expensive. It costs eight thousand yuan a night! Let's just forget about it," Yuka said carefully.
The boy took the girl's hand and led her into the hotel, persuading her, "Yuka, although my family is not rich, we are not that poor either. I think it's worth my money to spend some money on your birthday."
"But, I..." The girl was still hesitant. It was obvious that the price of the hotel bothered her a lot.
