I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"Do you think those heroes were really that powerful?" a young man asked excitedly.

"Of course they did. They just returned from a fierce battle," an old man nearby exclaimed. "I heard they put up a good fight at the warehouse. It's truly admirable."

"Yeah, that man in black is a truly elusive assassin," another man agreed. "I really want to know how they did it."

Several residents gathered together, discussing the matter with great interest, as if they were also in the fierce battle.

"I heard they have a more important mission tonight," the young woman suddenly said. "I wonder what challenges they will face."

"Who cares? They are heroes and they can handle it," said a middle-aged man confidently.

"That being said, their opponent this time is the 'Shadow Society,' a very cunning and powerful organization," the old man warned. "We must not take it lightly."

Just as everyone was discussing something, there was a sudden commotion outside the hotel entrance. A black car drove up quickly and stopped at the entrance. The door opened, and a man in a black suit walked quickly into the hotel.

"Have you heard? The 'Shadow Society' has been very active recently, causing unrest in the entire city." The man was obviously well-informed. He spoke to the people around him as he walked.

"Oh, what should we do?" a lady asked nervously.

"Don't worry, the police have already teamed up with those heroes to start the operation." The man in the black suit comforted him, "I believe they will succeed."

Hearing this, several residents breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help but continue talking.

"Do you think they will be in danger?" the young woman asked worriedly.

"They're not ordinary people. They can definitely handle it," the old man consoled him. "Besides, that officer seems very reliable."

At this time, the hotel front desk received a call, and the staff hurriedly answered it. After listening to a few words, he put down the phone with a serious expression.

"What happened?" one of the residents asked.

"We've just received notification that there's a large-scale police deployment nearby, possibly related to the 'Shadow Society,'" the staff member said. "Please stay in your rooms as much as possible and don't go out without permission."

Upon hearing the news, everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms. Although they were curious, safety always came first.

Back on the balcony, Sheng Nanting and the other two were ready. Ye Ying checked their equipment and confirmed everything was correct before the three of them left the hotel together.

"Let's go." Sheng Nanting whispered.

The three of them quickly passed through the back door of the hotel and disappeared into the night. Their target was the building in the city center where the important meeting of the Shadow Society was hidden.

A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the back door of the building. Ye Ying carefully unlocked the door and successfully entered the building. The environment inside was very complex, filled with various monitoring equipment and security measures.

"According to the plan, we must first find the specific location of the conference room." Sheng Nanting whispered.

The three of them quickly dispersed and each searched for clues. Soon, Lu Yining discovered the surveillance video in the elevator.

"Look here, there are a lot of suspicious people entering the top floor during this time." She pointed to the picture on the screen.

"It should be their meeting place." Sheng Nanting judged.

Ye Ying quickly connected the communication equipment and contacted Zhang Ming outside.

"Officer Zhang, we've found the location of the conference room and are preparing to sneak into the top floor." He reported in a low voice.

Zhang Ming's voice came from the headset: "Got it. We will closely monitor your movements and be ready to provide support at any time."

The three of them arrived at the top floor and found the door closed, with several security guards patrolling the area. Sheng Nanting signaled Lu Yining and Ye Ying to act separately, while he himself was responsible for attracting attention.

"Fourth Uncle, be careful." Lu Yining said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Sheng Nanting said with a smile.

He took a deep breath and quickly walked to the other end of the corridor, deliberately making some noise. The two security guards immediately became alert and walked towards the direction of the sound. Taking this opportunity, Lu Yining and Ye Ying quickly sneaked into the top floor conference room.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely tense. Several high-ranking officials were gathered around a round table, discussing their next move. In the middle sat a middle-aged man with a stern expression. He was the leader of the Shadow Society.

"This cooperation is of vital importance. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong." The leader said in a deep voice.

"Understood." One of the men nodded, "We have made all the preparations."

Just then, there was a slight noise at the door. The leader noticed something was amiss and quickly stood up to investigate. Lu Yining and Ye Ying acted swiftly, subduing the guards one by one.

"What's going on?" the leader asked in surprise.

"Your nightmare has come." Lu Yining said with a sneer, pulling out a dagger and stabbing at the leader.

At this tense moment, there was a loud noise at the door, and Sheng Nanting rushed in, followed by several police officers.

"Put down your weapons!" Zhang Ming shouted loudly.

"You..." The leader looked at everyone in disbelief.

"It's all over." Sheng Nanting said calmly.

"Impossible!" the leader roared, "I will be back!"

"Stop dreaming, we won't let you escape this time." Zhang Ming said coldly.

Just as everyone was about to arrest the leader, a sudden electronic sound came from a corner of the conference room. One of his men quickly activated a device, and the entire building began to shake violently.

"This is a self-destruct program!" Lu Yining exclaimed.

"Retreat quickly!" Zhang Ming ordered.

Everyone rushed out of the conference room and headed for the stairwell. The building shook more and more violently, the chandelier fell from the ceiling, and the floor began to crack.

"There's not much time left, hurry up!" Sheng Nanting urged.

Several people helped each other in a panic and finally rushed out of the building. The moment they ran out of the door, the whole building collapsed, and dust and debris flew everywhere.

"Is everyone okay?" Zhang Ming asked with concern.

"Fortunately, I escaped in time." Lu Yining breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is the leader?" Ye Ying asked.

"We were trapped inside." Zhang Ming sighed, "But at least we succeeded in stopping their actions."

"Justice will always prevail." Sheng Nanting looked at the collapsed building with a determined light in his eyes.

"Yes, but we still have a lot of work to do." Zhang Ming said, "The 'Shadow Society' will not give up easily."

"Then let us continue to fight." Lu Yining said firmly.

Their gazes met, determined and full of strength. No one could predict how this new battle would unfold, but they were ready to face all the unknown challenges.
