1764 Super Assassins
Huo Yao raised her brow. She did not expose him for the awkward excuse he had used.
She could tell that he did not mean any harm.
The bodyguard by the side took a bottle hanging from his belt and held it in front of Rocco. “Your Highness, time to take your meds.”
Rocco looked at the bottle the bodyguard was holding. He frowned hard thinking about the bitter Chinese medicine inside. Since a pretty young woman was present, he simply took the bottle calmly.
He twisted open the cap, raised his head, and drank its contents in a gulp.
After he was done, the bodyguard deftly produced a piece of candy.
Rocco looked at the candy and went quiet. Only kids would eat candy after taking bitter medicine.
Rocco pressed his brow. Every atom of his body felt awkward at this moment. In the end, he calmly took the candy and turned to look at Huo Yao. “I’m not well, so I always have to take meds.”
Huo Yao nodded thoughtfully. “Considering your condition, you do need Chinese medicine.”
She paused briefly, looked at the bottle, and asked. “Mind if I take a look at your meds?”
Rocco handed the bottle to Huo Yao without hesitation.
Huo Yao opened the bottle, smelled its contents, and quickly returned it.
It was such a small world.
“Anything wrong with these meds?” Rocco noticed the strange look on the pretty girl’s face and could not help asking.
Huo Yao simply smiled and said, “The doctor who wrote the prescription is good.”
Rocco was stunned.
“If you take the meds for half a year, you should recover more or less. Even though you won’t be as healthy as normal people, you can definitely live for another thirty to forty years.”
Huo Yao kindly explained to Rocco.
Rocco opened his eyes wide. In hindsight, he seemed to sleep better at night recently after taking this medication.
Perhaps it was due to this medication.
If he could live for thirty to forty more years… Rocco smiled sadly. He never dared to bear any hope.
He simply assumed the young woman was trying to console a patient.
“I hope so.”
Rocco chimed in and nodded.
Huo Yao could tell that Rocco did not believe her entirely. However, she did not plan on explaining further. In any case, time would prove her right.
“Oh yes. What’s your name?” Rocco changed the subject and asked.
He had never seen such a pretty Asian girl in his life and wanted to befriend her.
“Oh. My name is…” Before Huo Yao could finish her sentence, she detected danger approaching. She narrowed her eyes and said calmly, “Find somewhere to hide first.”
Rocco did not quite catch Huo Yao’s drift. Since she looked serious, he automatically felt that something was amiss.
The bodyguard was unable to detect any danger approaching them either. However, he was professionally trained, so he promptly covered Rocco and retreated to a corner behind a curtain.
Before they were able to hide, the lock on the door got cut open from the outside. Few men quickly barged inside the room.
Five men dressed in black wearing black masks on their faces surrounded Huo Yao in unison while she sat in the chair.
They did not give off any dangerous aura, but they automatically made people feel intimidated.
Rocco’s bodyguard could sense cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He even had trouble holding his gun steadily.
Who were these people anyway? They were so scary!
