Chapter 696
The host in the main banquet hall received the cue and reminded the guests on the stage, “Ladies and
gentlemen, please be seated. The party is about to start. Before that, Ms. Linda prepared a special segment. We hope you’ll enjoy the show.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the screen behind her suddenly lit up.
A live broadcast of the scene in the broadcast room was played on the screen-eight police officers were surrounding Hera while Linda was controlling the switches.
The guests became curious, wondering what this was about.
Only Rhett and Frederick were sneering, thinking, “It’s finally happening! We can finally teach Hera a lesson in public!”
Money laundering had always been a serious crime; not even Bernard could save Hera from this because whoever helped out would be suspected.
Therefore, the three people were confident that no one would help Hera.
Everyone would turn their back against her, and she would be done for!
If Bernard were to intervene in this case, he’d be sent to prison with Hera. This would also eliminate their biggest rival for the position of the next head of the Killian family!
While toasting their win in advance, Rhett and Frederick were stunned by what happened next.
The picture they had in mind didn’t happen. Instead, Hera, who was surrounded, skillfully dodged an officer’s attack and jabbed a silver needle into his pressure point.
Her face was void of emotions, and her eyes were cold. Her movements were swift and agile, and she seemed to have a bunch of needles with her.
One by one, she took down those eight fit men so easily. They couldn’t get back up on their feet.
The guests were left in awe. It was one against eight! They could hardly believe that this was happening live. What a marvelous scene!
Someone couldn’t help but clap their hands. Soon, thunderous applause echoed through every floor.
“I’m amazed! Too bad it didn’t last long. Do we get to see more?”
“Nice moves, Dr. Shadow! I guess alternative practitioners don’t only treat patients, but they also practice martial arts! I’m going to send my daughter for such classes.”
“What an amazing performance! It looks so real! It’s so much better than the CGI in TV shows and action movies.”
“Is this Dr. Shadow’s gift for Ms. Linda?”
“What a unique present!”
Guests began gushing, and Frederick almost fainted in anger. He didn’t know that Hera was this skillful in combat!
Their initial plan was to show the guests that Hera was arrested, and then Tyler would reveal Hera’s bank account as evidence of her money laundering.

Their ultimate goal was to make everyone stay away from Hera!
Yet, the show they prepared diligently became a stage for Hera’s skills to shine through! Not even the evidence was shown!
“What’s happening on Tyler’s side?” Rhett’s expression turned grim. Noticing that things weren’t going as planned, he whispered to Frederick, “Think of something to inform your mom to end this as soon as possible.” “Got it.” Frederick sneaked out of the banquet hall to look for Linda, but a staff member stopped him.
“Mr. Frederick, there’s something you have to confirm. The staff member presented something to him. “What? Mmph!” As soon as Frederick opened his mouth, the staff member suddenly covered his mouth with a napkin.
As the strong smell wafted to his nose, Frederick’s body went limp. He lost consciousness before he could even react.
The staff member carried him over the shoulder and brought him to a room, where he tied Frederick up.
