After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Mandala's gaze was like a sharp blade, staring straight at them angrily, but the room fell into an eerie silence, with everyone frozen in place, without making a move.

As Xiao Ran pondered the reason for this stalemate, Mandala suddenly shifted her gaze, turned to the person beside her, and angrily shouted:

"Gongsun Bo! What are you dawdling for? Do you expect me to die before you can report back?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran looked in that direction and saw the man in red slowly raise his hand and gradually pull off his mask. When the mask was completely removed, it revealed the face of her familiar father.

Gongsun Bo's eyes were filled with conflict, and he avoided everyone's gaze.

After tidying up, when he looked at them, a hint of guilt and apology appeared in his eyes. His lips trembled slightly, and he stammered out a sentence:

"I'm so sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out like a gust of wind, and in his panic, he did not forget to lock the door tightly, as if this would completely block their escape route.

However, he seemed to have completely forgotten that one of the two people inside had sneaked in through the window, and that this person was fully capable of leading her and Nangong Ming to safety.

Seeing Gongsun Bo leave, Mandala breathed a heavy sigh of relief. She gestured to her subordinates to help her up and slowly leaned back in her chair, as if all her strength had been drained instantly. Her fury had taken a toll on her.

After regaining her composure, she resumed her arrogant and domineering demeanor, and spoke with a cold laugh:

"Hmph, daring to cause trouble at my Linglong Gambling House, you don't even know if you have the guts!"

Just as she was about to reply, she felt Nangong Ming quietly reach out and tug at her hem, lowering his voice and saying with a hint of urgency, "Why don't we retreat first? There are too many of them. Once reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to leave."

Xiao Ran glanced at him sideways, her eyes filled with determination: "Don't forget why we came here. Are you willing to give up halfway and go through all those unpleasant things again?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Ming shook his head vigorously, clearly unwilling.

He secretly thought to himself that he was lucky to have escaped the clutches of the datura this time without any real danger. He dared not hope that he would be so lucky again. After all, people say that luck is limited and whoever squanders it first will suffer.

Xiao Ran ignored Nangong Ming and turned to look at Mandala, her chin slightly raised, her expression arrogant:

"Miss Man, you must have just witnessed our methods. Do you really think you can capture us alive today?"

Upon hearing this, Mandala felt a sudden, involuntary fear rise in her heart. But before this feeling could spread, she heard faint, hurried footsteps outside the door. She immediately felt confident, and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

"Oh? Don't make such boasts too soon. Let's wait and see!"

Mandala knew Ghost Axe's skills well. Although the man was ugly, as the manager of the gambling den, he was always reliable and had never made a mistake over the years.

She was certain this time would be no exception, so she wasn't too worried.

But the strong woman hiding behind the handsome young swordsman didn't seem to have much worry on her face.

...Could it be her?

impossible.

Therefore, when she heard the sound of the chains being unlocked, she looked over expectantly.

Until... she saw another handsome young man enter.

Moreover, she recognized the man; he was Pei Yun, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
