Chapter 776: Hiding Strength to Save the Beauty

Chapter 775 - Hiding Strength to Save the Beauty

His fight with the female mercenary was more complicated since his opponent was more experienced and agile than him. Putting in a nutshell, his opponent was akin to a slippery fish in a pond.

But half a minute later, Su Tao finally found a flaw. The female mercenary had been protecting her right rib, which he guessed that she must have an injury there. Hence, he mustered all his force and struck a blow at her right rib.

As for the female mercenary, she realised that she had underestimated Su Tao’s fighting capability. Although he wasn’t as experienced in terms of close combat, he had a sturdy foundation. Most importantly, she felt extremely uncomfortable in their fight because Su Tao’s every attack would make her feel numb. It’s completely different from her usual fights.

For example, her muscles would twitch, her heart would feel as if it had been shocked, and there’s also a piercing pain in her abdomen during her fight with Su Tao.

As mercenaries, they have undergone the baptism of the battlefield, so they have an extraordinary pain endurance. However, they did not have any resistance to internal injuries.

Finding an opportunity once more, Su Tao struck a blow at her shoulder blade while she was guarding her right rib. Immediately, her entire arm dropped down. Her arm was dislocated by Su Tao.

At this moment, the female mercenary sucked in a cold breath as she had a bold thought. Perhaps, previously, Su Tao has been pretending to be weak on purpose, but why was he holding back?

Was he trying to catch her by surprise?

In reality, she had guessed it correctly.

The reason why Su Tao had purposely held back was because he wanted to probe the two mercenaries and also give Joanna some suffering.

In his view, since the mercenaries were sent over by Tosca Pharmaceutical Conglomerate, they won’t harm Joanna. He felt that Joanna might be faking it to trick him to surrender.

But seeing that her ‘act’ was getting more realistic and she didn’t seem to be faking it, he finally decided to make his move.

This way, he would be able to get Joanna to owe him one because if it wasn’t for him, then Joanna would’ve been killed.

This way, he would be able to completely pull Joanna to his side.

This would also dispel his cautiousness he had, knowing that the mercenaries weren’t sent by her.

At this moment, Joanna had no idea that Su Tao was still suspecting if her offer to cooperate was a trick a few minutes ago. Su Tao wasn’t a suspicious person, but he’s also not someone who would believe others so easily.

When he saw that the female mercenary nearly killed Joanna without any hesitation, Su Tao finally brought out his entire strength.

That robust man might seem to be as buff as a bull, but he’s just someone with brute in Su Tao’s eyes. As for the female mercenary, she was more agile and she must have practiced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. But with Su Tao’s current attainments in martial arts, he’s only lacking in experience, and during his fight with the female mercenary, he’s constantly perfecting himself.

When the robust man finally managed to get up with great difficulty, his eyes were gushing with flames as he roared, “I’ll kill you!”

Seeing that the robust man managed to get on his feet, Su Tao locked his brows together. That fellow’s endurance was truly impressive. Although that robust man was covered in muscles, Su Tao’s earlier jab had broken at least several rib bones, and even his five viscera and six bowels have sustained injuries. Generally speaking, he should have lost his ability to fight back, but he never expected that the robust man only took a few breaths to recover.

With the female mercenary harassing him from the side, the two mercenaries have a perfect combination together that caused a decent amount of trouble for Su Tao.

The robust man’s fist was akin to a tank that swept everything before him. However, Su Tao had easily dodged it and occasionally retaliated. Very quickly, the robust man soon realised that he wasn’t posing any threat to Su Tao, and Su Tao was mostly guarding against the female mercenary’s blade.

The blade was sharper than he had imagined and it could easily split a person in half.

At this moment, the two mercenaries had forgotten about this mission to capture Su Tao as they sunk into madness.

As a fist brushed past Su Tao’s forehead, the dagger bolted over like a silver flash that nearly drew a large wound on his waist. Su Tao’s physique was more flexible than they had imagined and he managed to dodge their attacks by a hairline distance.

This wasn’t because Su Tao was bold, but that was the limit of his ability.

But it was also because of their close distance that allowed Su Tao’s fists to hit the targets so easily. After throwing a left punch on the female mercenary’s ample chest, causing her to take half a step back, Su Tao swiftly unleashed four blows at the robust man’s abdomen.

Looking at Su Tao, the robust man had disbelief in his eyes from Su Tao’s capability to maintain his retaliation despite being under this situation.

Suffering another blow to his abdomen, the robust man couldn’t help seeping blood from his lips. At the same time, another two of his ribs broke, so Su Tao took advantage of the robust man losing his ability to fight back and launch attacks at the female mercenary.

At this moment, the female mercenary was dazzled from Su Tao’s movements. Su Tao’s hands were constantly changing between fists, palms, and chops. His blows were like a storm as they landed on her body.

The female mercenary felt as if she had been struck with a machine gun as her body constantly trembled. When Su Tao lashed a kick on her chin in the end, her body flew out.

When the robust man spat a mouthful of blood from his mouth, his entire body fell to the ground.

After walking over to the two of them and taking their pulses to make sure that they’re fine, Su Tao gently breathed out in relief before he conducted a search on the female mercenary and found a medicine bottle before walking over to Joanna and squatting down.

“What are you trying to do?”

Joanna had still not recovered. Everything took place in the blink of an eye. At this moment, she still hadn’t figured out how the two of them fell down. She was filled with cautiousness out of instinct as she looked at Su Tao, especially after witnessing how he easily defeated the two ferocious mercenaries. She was afraid that Su Tao might kill her under rage.

If Su Tao killed her right now, he could blame it all entirely on the two mercenaries and push the blame away.

Her concern came from her guilt, after all, it was her mother who hired mercenaries to go after Su Tao.

“This is the antidote. Although you can get it resolved in a hospital, your beautiful neck might be left with a permanent mark if you don’t apply the antidote within half an hour. Then again, I can also stand aside if you refuse my help.” Su Tao patiently explained.

After looking at Su Tao’s bright pupils, Joanna couldn’t look into his eyes at this moment and turned her head away. Seeing her reaction, Su Tao inwardly sighed. Although there’s a great difference between western and eastern cultures, there weren’t many differences when it comes to the sensitivity of women.

Su Tao could roughly guess her thoughts at this moment, and he knew that she’s filled with gratitude for him right now.

At the same time, she was also filled with some regrets. Although this incident had no direct connection to her, it’s still related to her. Hence, she was worried that Su Tao might dispel their cooperation because of this matter.

The poison laced on the dagger of the female mercenary was extracted from an unusual plant in South Africa’s rainforest. But fortunately, the dosage wasn’t high or Joanna would have a meeting with God by now.

After inserting his needles into the arteries around the wound to prevent the poison from spreading, he then took the antidote and applied it on the wound. Seeing the handbag that Joanna brought along with her, he asked, “Did you bring any Beautifying Cream with you?”

“I did!” Joanna nodded her head. She then opened her pink handbag and retrieved the Beautifying Cream before asking, “Why do you need it?”

“Not only can the Beautifying Cream nourish your skin, but it can also get rid of scars. I didn’t bring my medicine box with me, so we can just use the Beautifying Cream on your skin so that the wound heals much faster without leaving behind any scars.” Su Tao explained to Joanna as he started to deal with her wound. He was extremely gentle in his action to the point that Joanna felt no pain from it. It only felt ticklish, as if she was being tickled by a feather.

At this moment, she realised that her nerves were stretched tight with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Su Tao did not notice the changes in Joanna since he was fully focused in dealing with her wound because the poison was formidable, and she couldn’t afford to treat it lightly.

On the other hand, Joanna was feeling conflicted in her heart. Who could’ve imagined that she and Su Tao would have such an intimate contact. She initially only wanted to approach him under the guise as a patient, but she never expected that she would really become his patient. At times, that’s the magic of fate.

After a few minutes, Su Tao let out a breath of relief and said, “Alright, I’m done dressing your wound. You just have to use the Beautifying Cream daily and it will recover in three to five days.”

When he finished, he took out his phone and gave a call to Hao Changle. It was only at this moment that the bodyguards realised that a ferocious battle had taken place here.

“Are we going to call the cops?” Hao Changle said with a grave expression. He was filled with guilt in his heart at this moment since he had failed his duty.

“Not for the time being.” Su Tao instructed before he continued, “Bind the two of them and guard the venue well.”

Su Tao only made this decision because of the perfect ending of the launch event, and he only waited until all the guests had left before getting Maldini to inform the police.

When Italy’s police were informed of this matter, they instantly flew into a rage. At this moment, they knew that Su Tao wasn’t making things up about chasing after fugitives on the streets. Hence, they immediately dispatched their personnel to sweep through the mercenary organisation.

However, the mercenary organisation had a keen sense and they had already escaped, causing Italy’s police to hit a wall.
