As he pondered, Tang Yuan had already swiftly treated Hu Fei's wounds and stopped the bleeding.
Watching Hu Fei's breathing grow weaker, Ling Chen frowned to himself. Snake King was truly ruthless, stabbing him five times.
Hu Fei was the middleman for Snake King, responsible for providing him with intelligence and equipment. When he was casually chatting with Hu Fei earlier, he must've been seen by Snake King, who had infiltrated the banquet hall. Thinking that Hu Fei had betrayed him, he made his move in the shadows, wanting to exact revenge on Hu Fei.
Although Hu Fei dealt in the business of intelligence and assassins, he too had forces backing him. More precisely, it was an alliance formed by middlemen, known as the Secret Society, tasked with upholding the interests of people like Hu Fei.
