1767 Met Our Match
Huo Yulin looked at Countess Kerr. “Be quiet!”
Countess Kerr was startled by the cold shout, but she quickly spotted Rocco walking out of the tea room. She narrowed her eyes and took a couple of steps toward him. “Rocco, you have to help me.”
Rocco looked around and noticed the intense atmosphere in the main hall. He glanced at Huo Yao and the man in front of her. He paused briefly before looking at Countess Kerr. “What’s wrong?”
Countess Kerr quickly told Rocco about the incident in the hall. In the end, she pointed at the doctors captured by Zhuo Yun. “The count is in grave danger, but they…”
!!
Before she could finish her sentence, Rocco slowly raised his hand to interrupt. “In that case, shouldn’t you send the count to the hospital first rather than getting into an argument with others here?”
Countess Kerr was stunned. Her nephew did not defend her and even embarra.s.sed her.
“Aunt, sometimes, you shouldn’t go too far.” Rocco calmly reminded Countess Kerr before he walked past her and headed out.
When he reached Huo Yao and Huo Yulin, he nodded slightly.
The people from the Huo family stopped him at the door. Huo Yao looked at her third older brother. “Shall we go?”
Huo Yulin glanced at Huo Yao. He could tell what his little sister wanted to do and nodded. “Okay.”
The moment he finished his sentence, he gestured in the air. All his subordinates calmly put away their weapons and left as quickly as they arrived.
After the men at the entrance pulled out, Rocco and his bodyguard quickly disappeared from sight.
As Huo Yulin walked out, he turned back to look at Countess Kerr without the slightest warmth in his eyes. “This isn’t over yet!”
Countess Kerr felt startled. Just as she was about to speak, Huo Yulin had already veered his eyes and walked off.
Zhuo Yun pressed his mike and followed behind them.
The other guests at the banquet were the only people left inside, along with the mess on the ground.
Before long, the guests made excuses and left one after another.
Countess Kerr looked at the empty hall and felt annoyed.
The birthday banquet was completely ruined.
From tomorrow onwards, the count would become a joke in high society. Also, the Huo family and the Weapons Bureau’s involvement would bring about major chain reactions.
Countess Kerr did not dare to even think about it. She simply turned to check on her husband.

Fan Shun sat in the car. The chauffeur in front did not start the engine until the a.s.sistant came back.
“Mr. Fan, I have bad news.” The a.s.sistant got into the front pa.s.senger seat and looked at Fan Shun through the rearview mirror. “The secret guards are dead.”
Fan Shun was resting his eyes. He promptly opened his eyes upon hearing this. “Huh?”
“All of them died of poison.” The a.s.sistant’s face turned solemn thinking about the state of the dead secret guards.
The secret guards’ bodies had undergone special modifications. Even though they were not completely immune to poison, it was unlikely that they would just die without any retaliation.
“We might have met our match.” The a.s.sistant concluded. “It was strange that these secret guards died inside Prince Rocco’s tea room.”
Fan Shun looked up slightly. “Rocco doesn’t have anyone strong enough to fight them.”
“What do you think happened then?”
