Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole

Thea Shaw arranged for them to watch the surveillance footage of their private room the entire time.

She had considered all sorts of tactics.

There are only a few methods to destroy a girl.

If June Sherman went crazy, she might drug everyone in the private room directly; then it would be enough to just deal with her.

As for the others, they could be woken up casually, given an excuse, or handed some money to appease them, as they were just a bunch of ordinary people who had never experienced malice; no one would dare cause trouble.

Of course, the best outcome would be if this gathering were merely June Sherman’s probing and nothing actually happened.

That would be the ideal scenario.

But Thea Shaw, recalling the fierce look in June Sherman’s eyes as she left that day, felt things wouldn’t be that simple.

Soon, everyone arrived at Morpheus.

The décor of this place matched the style suggested by its name, opulent and grand yet with a disorienting elegance.

Those who could enter here were either rich or noble, but most kept their identities concealed and were immediately taken to a private room upon arrival.

It’s quite rare to see such a departmental dinner here.

The opposing company sent only one representative to entertain them, and the manager handled the chitchat, occasionally glancing at Thea Shaw, who was subtly looking around.

Thea Shaw and Rowan Donovan stayed put, certainly not wandering off separately.

The group entered a well-decorated private room and started dining and karaoke.

To avoid drawing attention, Thea Shaw also ate some of the food in the private room, but she consistently smelled a faint scent in the room, unlike the strong fragrance typical of such rooms—this scent was light and made one feel drowsy.

She immediately became vigilant.

Inside the private room, there were cameras, and the lights were on, indicating that they were running.

Thea Shaw intentionally avoided looking in that direction.

But soon, her predictions came true.

Even the usually cheerful Rowan Donovan was holding her forehead, saying, "Ah...why do I feel so dizzy? I really want to sleep..."

After saying this, her body slumped directly towards Thea Shaw.

Looking at the others, unusual symptoms of sleepiness appeared as well, coupled with the drowsiness from the alcohol, and soon everyone collapsed, even the manager, who had been keeping an eye on things, hadn’t foreseen such madness from the other side.

Before she uncontrollably fainted, she had only one thought.

It’s over.

Seeing everyone fall, Thea Shaw quickly pretended to be drowsy and collapsed too.

She even chose a comfortable posture.

She dared to come because she had another reliance.

Not only could she fight, but her body also had a resistance to drugs.

The Great National Master frequently tested drugs before; after numerous assassinations, she inhaled a lot of intoxicating incense, and her body developed a resistance—not that she was unaffected, but she required a heavier dose than ordinary people.

The scent in this private room didn’t meet that standard.

But if it reached the level that could make her pass out, the others would likely be in serious trouble.

After returning, she specifically tested herself again, and the results showed that her physical condition was on par with that of someone from Qirenia.

This meant that the drug resistance had remained.

How could those outside imagine such an abnormal person existed in this world!

Moreover, the people behind this wouldn’t dare to cause such a large-scale incident to draw attention; their target was solely Thea Shaw.

The bodyguard who hacked into the surveillance saw Thea Shaw had really passed out, his pupils contracted, and without a word, he was ready to notify the team to go in for rescue, but saw Thea Shaw, before fainting, subtly shake towards the direction of the camera.

Remembering Thea Shaw’s previous instructions, he could only hold back his eagerness and slowly wait for the situation to unfold.
