Espionage: You're tasked with spying, but you'll blow up the Special Higher Police?

But tonight is the swimsuit show, and this princess is wearing a cloak. Isn't that tantamount to crippling herself? Is her figure her biggest flaw, and is this a disguised way of forfeiting the competition?

Just as everyone was discussing, Elizabeth, who had already walked to the front of the stage, stopped and with a whoosh, threw the shimmering cloak away.

"Wow~~~!"

The next moment the entire hall erupted in uproar, then fell into a silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the artwork before them, which seemed to be Nuwa's most prized possession.

Her muscles were toned, her lines perfect, her proportions seemingly flawless, her legs long and straight, her abdomen firm, possessing a muscular physique unlike any other woman. And more importantly, good heavens, Princess Elizabeth was wearing a bikini swimsuit!

That's right, this swimsuit was also designed by Zhou Hongyi; if you're going to play around, play big. Elizabeth was going all out to get close to her enemy.

What Zhou Hongyi truly didn't expect was her incredible self-discipline; she consistently exercised regularly. Such a physique is sometimes a matter of natural talent, and Zhou Hongyi was surprised by her stunning appearance, as it was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

He had originally thought that as long as Elizabeth could get into the finals, that would be good enough, but tonight's results were better than ever before.

"My goodness... Young Master Zhou, where did you find Princess Elizabeth? She truly deserves the title of a rare beauty!"

"Yes, she has such a perfect figure and a noble and aloof temperament, yet she walks with such allure that it makes my heart itch... She's simply a perfect contradiction! I really can't imagine what kind of stunning beauty lies beneath that silver mask."

Before the audience could react, the other judges were already getting restless. Zhou Hongyi glanced at them, especially at Mr. Su, their poisoning target, who was completely engrossed, his Adam's apple bobbing.

The silence in the stands lasted for a while, until Elizabeth turned to walk towards the pool, at which point they erupted in cheers and applause.

“Princess Elizabeth! Your Highness, I am your most devoted servant!”

"Please whip me, please lash me, Princess, I love you!"

"I would give my life savings to become your mount and serve you like a slave, Princess Elizabeth! Look over here!"

The audience below was so excited that they were talking incoherently and nonsense, which made Zhou Hongyi grin from ear to ear.

This time, everyone followed their own hearts in the scoring, resulting in a perfect score for the first time, with even Zhou Hongyi giving a perfect 10. This immediately brought the atmosphere of Miss Rose's swimsuit show to its climax.

The cheers from the crowd nearly lifted the roof off the Great World shopping mall, startling passersby who peered inside out of curiosity. Everyone knew that the Great World was holding the Miss Rose swimsuit competition tonight, but no one knew exactly how the selection process would work or why the atmosphere was so intense.

Elizabeth's perfect score was well-deserved, and no one thought it was undeserved. Now, the most discussed topic is what kind of face is hidden behind that silver mask.

After all the contestants had performed, the rankings were based on scores. The top scorer advanced directly to the final night, skipping the subsequent talent show segment. Princess Elizabeth, with a perfect score, secured her place on the championship night with an overwhelming advantage that surprised even Zhou Hongyi. The remaining three spots would be decided by the combined scores from the talent show segment; the top three from each segment would advance to the final night.

Elizabeth had already secured a spot in the finals, and left the stage amidst countless pleas from the audience to stay, only to be met with a huge sigh.

The other girls, on the other hand, were going to compete in a talent show, and temporarily went backstage to change clothes and prepare for their performance.

In this segment, the host asked the judges who they thought was the best tonight, but just as he was about to hand the microphone to Zhou Hongyi, a discordant and abrupt voice suddenly appeared from the crowd.

"I refuse to accept this! There's something fishy going on here!"

Everyone turned to look and saw a young man in his twenties with long hair, leading several men in black, pushing his way out of the crowd and directly onto the stage.

"This gentleman..."

The host tried to remind him, but the man shoved him aside, grabbed the microphone, and pointed at Zhou Hongyi, saying, "Who the hell do you think you are! Why did you eliminate my woman? She has such a great figure, so what if she has a little bit of fat on her stomach? So what if there are some decorations on her clothes? Are those considered flaws? I like her just the way she is, so why do you say it's no good? Is there no law? Is there no justice? I'm going to get justice for my woman today!"

Under the spotlight, the young man revealed a long scar on his face and an axe tucked into his waistband, causing the audience to gasp and instinctively step back.

Meanwhile, the behind-the-scenes bigwigs in the VIP box were also somewhat surprised.

"Who is this kid? Daring to cause trouble at the Great World?"

"They look like the Axe Gang."

"I know him, Chen Xiaodao from the Axe Gang, Boss Liu's number one henchman. When did he get into this kind of thing?"

"How does Boss Liu manage his men? He's got some nerve."

Just as the group of bigwigs were about to intervene, they saw Zhou Hongyi leap onto the stage alone and stand in front of Chen Xiaodao.

"As a judge, I naturally have my own set of judging standards. I decide who gets how many points. Of course, the same goes for the other judges. Losing is losing. It's not shameful to be less skilled than others, but if you continue to argue, you'll only make yourself look like a joke."

"What? You dare talk to me like that? Do you know how powerful the Axe Gang is?"

As Chen Xiaodao spoke, he pulled out a hand axe from his waistband. The men in black behind him also drew their axes, causing the female spectators to scream in fright. The scene was about to spiral out of control.

Just then, a group of Kuomintang assassins, led by the bearded Chen Gong, suddenly appeared and spread out on both sides of Zhou Hongyi. The two groups glared at each other, and the atmosphere became extremely tense, ready to erupt at any moment.

"Calm down, everyone! This is the world, not a place for you to run wild! Chen Xiaodao, our Green Gang and your Axe Gang have always kept to ourselves. Don't escalate your personal grudges into a conflict between the two gangs!"

Boss Qiao stepped forward with a displeased expression. He was the host of this event tonight, and he couldn't just sit idly by.

When Xiao Dao saw that Master Qiao had stepped forward, someone of the same generation as their boss, he immediately restrained himself, put away his axe, and cupped his hands, saying, "Master Qiao, I'm sorry, but I, Xiao Dao, am not convinced today. Why did he give my woman such a low score, but gave his own people a perfect score? I'm not convinced!"

"Brother Xiaodao, whether you're convinced or not, we can talk about it backstage. Don't let it affect tonight's Miss Rose election. You know there are many important people watching in the VIP section, including some of your boss's friends. Do you want me to call Chief Liu now and have him come and get you?"

When Xiao Dao heard that the other party had brought up his boss, his arrogance immediately diminished.

“Master Si, that’s not what I meant... Alright, I, Xiao Dao, will let it go today for Master Si’s sake, but this guy has to give me an explanation.”

Zhou Hongyi chuckled and clapped his hands, saying, "Boss Qiao, let me give him an explanation. I, Zhou Hongyi, didn't know Amansha was Brother Xiaodao's woman. To show my apology, I'll toast you with a bottle of wine. If only I had known earlier..."

As Zhou Hongyi spoke, he turned around and picked up a bottle of foreign liquor from the table next to him, seemingly to offer Xiao Dao a toast as an apology.

But his next words surprised everyone.

"If I had known she was your woman, I would have given her a zero! What are you pretending to be, you little brat? In Shanghai, I'm the one who can point my finger at others and yell at them. You better get the hell out of here!"

Zhou Hongyi, holding the bottle of foreign liquor, suddenly revealed a fierce look on his face. He smashed the bottle on Chen Xiaodao's head with it. The bottle shattered with a crack, and the liquor splashed all over Chen Xiaodao's head and body. Blood instantly covered Chen Xiaodao's face.

However, even the bigwigs in the VIP seats did not expect that Zhou Hongyi, who had just seemed all smiles, polite and courteous, would actually make a move without warning, and even after the other party had backed down, he directly split the knife open.
