The Team Reunites, a New Journey

The next day, the teacher wrote on the blackboard, chalk scratching swiftly.

Ye Huo sat at her desk, checked her phone, and asked her eldest brother how badly Snake Demon was hurt.

Her eldest brother hesitated for a long while before replying, "Baby Huohuo, the doctor said someone severed your friend's leg tendons. She might..."

She might never get out of bed again in this lifetime!

Ye Huo frowned slightly.

Snake Demon was a month older than her, quiet and reserved, and rarely smiled.

Ever since joining the organization, she had trained as if her life depended on it, never stopping to rest for a single day. She had earned the nickname "Desperate Third Sister"!

Whenever they went on a mission, she was always the first to charge in.

She had earned her ninth-place ranking among mercenaries at the risk of her life!

Ye Huo greatly admired this tenacious, cold-blooded subordinate of hers.

After years of working together, they understood each other with unparalleled ease!

Her slender fingers typed out a reply to her eldest brother: "Big brother, Snake Demon will be fine. I'll heal her legs!"

When her eldest brother, Ye Mo, saw the message, he could no longer keep his composure.

His precious little sister actually knew medicine?

She was incredible! She could even heal a severed leg injury!

Ye Mo suddenly felt that, compared to his precious little sister, he was practically a first-class invalid as her big brother!

Even so, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, and he felt immensely proud of his precious little sister.

His fingers were long and slender as he typed back: "Baby Huohuo, you're amazing! You successfully inherited Mom's medical genes! Big brother is proud of you!"

"Thank you, big brother~"

Having received her brother's praise, Ye Huo decided that since she was already at it, she might as well go all the way, and climbed out the window to skip class again.

Teacher Zhou was writing English words on the board when she turned around and saw that their class's top student was gone.

She trembled, hurriedly dropped her chalk, and leaned out the window to ask, "Eldest Miss Ye, where are you going? When will you be back? Hey, let your family know, and don't get lost again-"

"Got it!"

With her schoolbag slung over one shoulder, Ye Huo cut a dashing figure as she vaulted over the school wall.

The last time she had skipped class, it had caused too much of a stir.

Her whole family treated her, the only daughter born in eight generations, as a priceless family heirloom. They had practically wanted to mobilize every police officer in the city, turning the entire school upside down.

This time, Ye Huo took the initiative to report in, sending a message to the family group chat: "Dad, Mom, class is boring. Can I slip out to see a friend?"

"Baby Huohuo, class really is dull and boring! Go on, Mom approves!"

"Baby Huohuo, you're all grown up. You're free to make friends, and Dad won't stop you! But you're Dad's precious darling, so don't let some brat steal you away, all right? Otherwise, Dad will be too heartbroken to eat or sleep!"

Her father, Ye Chuan, sent two crying emojis in a row.

Sitting in his office at the research institute, he was no longer in the mood to draw up plans.

The moment he thought of his precious daughter meeting a bad boy and being stolen away by him!

His tears streamed down in torrents!

No, his precious daughter had to find a boyfriend under his protection, one who would cherish, love, and protect her for the rest of her life!

Without his permission, nobody could steal his daughter away!

At the thought, he had already begun to secretly resent his future son-in-law!

Looking thoroughly aggrieved, Ye Chuan continued rambling, typing a long message in the family group chat: "Baby Huohuo, Dad's at work at the research institute, and there's not much to do. How about Dad takes time off and comes with you to meet your friend? With Dad protecting you, no brat will get anywhere near my daughter!"

Ye Huo sighed helplessly. She hadn't expected her dad to overthink things so much.

She replied, "Dad, no need. The friend I'm going to see is a girl."

"A girl, oh? Then be careful, precious daughter, and remember to keep in touch with Mom and Dad."

Ye Chuan immediately perked up from his gloom. As long as she wasn't going to see a boy, he could rest easy as her father!

Ye Huo smiled softly, climbed over the school wall, and drove a red sports car to the sanatorium.

Thirty minutes later, at the white sanatorium in the west of the city.

Snake Demon woke up on the operating table, the light before her eyes somewhat dazzling.

Ye Huo wore a white coat, her long, straight black hair tied back behind her head.

Holding a scalpel, she looked at her coldly. "I just used an exclusive secret technique to reconnect your damaged nerves. Get down and try walking."

"Yes, thank you, boss."

Snake Demon lifted the blanket and touched both knees with her slender fingers.

Sure enough, the feeling had returned to her knees.

She got out of bed and walked around. Although she walked slowly, her injuries had almost completely healed.

Her whole body felt much better, and it looked as though she would soon return to her former condition.

Wow, boss really is amazing! She could even save my legs after they were broken! I have no idea why she's so talented, becoming a medical prodigy just by teaching herself.

Back when they had been on mercenary battlefields abroad, Sister Huo had treated them whenever they were injured.

Whether removing bullets, cutting away rotting flesh, bandaging wounds, or treating internal injuries, Sister Huo handled it all swiftly and efficiently, never once failing.

She was the most formidable boss on their team and the divine doctor they trusted most.

Ye Huo casually tossed the scalpel into a tray, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "How does it feel?"

"Great! Boss, you really are amazing. With medical skills this good, it would be a shame not to become a doctor!"

Snake Demon had a clear, beautiful face that gave off an aloof chill. Like a lotus, she could be admired from afar but not defiled.

"There's no need to feel sorry about that. One divine doctor in our family is enough."

Ye Huo smiled sweetly, a gentle figure coming to mind: her mother.

Her mother was an all-around genius in the medical world, a professor and expert, and the number-one surgical virtuoso.

Her self-taught medical skills had probably been inherited from her mother!

Thousand Mechanisms and Blood Blade were keeping watch outside the operating room.

Seeing that their boss had healed their companion Snake Demon, they said excitedly, their faces full of admiration, "Your Majesty, you are a god, our sovereign, the most perfect person in the world! We will follow you forever, climbing mountains of blades and descending into seas of fire, undaunted by ten thousand deaths!"

Snake Demon also said seriously, "Boss, I'll never forget that you saved my life! From now on, my life belongs to you!"

Her eyes were full of gratitude.

If not for Sister Huo, she would have come very close to falling!

She had never imagined that her father, Xiao Yuxian, would pay a fortune to hire experts from Qilin Hall to ambush her.

They had set up layers of mechanisms, and the moment she reached out and took the sapphire necklace, she triggered one of them, trapping herself in an iron cage.

A mere iron cage couldn't hold her.

She had intended to pick the lock, but to her surprise, the keyhole was electrified.

Thirty thousand volts had nearly reduced her to ashes.

If you show no mercy, neither will I!

At that moment, she was filled with hatred for her biological father.

She swore that from then on, she and the Xiao Family could not coexist under the same sky!

Seeing how heavily Snake Demon's thoughts weighed on her, Ye Huo walked over and patted her shoulder.

Like a queen protecting her subject, she declared imperiously, "Snake Demon, you're my subordinate. I won't let anyone bully you! I promise I'll help you get your mother's keepsake back!"

"Thank you, boss."

Snake Demon was moved beyond words.

She was glad she had met a boss like this: beautiful, handsome, and skilled in combat!

Luckily, she was a woman. If she were a man, she would definitely fall in love with her boss!

Ye Huo and her companions had finally reunited.

Recalling her experiences abroad, she had been thrown onto the border as a child and taken in by Death Base, a foreign assassin organization!

Hidden weapons, hand-to-hand combat, killing!

She had mastered them all!

She was Number One, always the coldest, cruelest, and strongest among that group of assassins!

Right after graduating from the assassin academy, she had successfully completed 1,000 missions, earning the one billion dollars needed to buy her freedom and successfully leaving the organization.

As far as she knew, she was the finest assassin that organization had produced in over a hundred years!

After leaving the assassin organization, she had gone into the mercenary business, killed countless people, completed missions amid storms of blood and gore, amassed a vast fortune, and met four reliable companions!

Compared with a hothouse flower who had never killed anyone in their life!

Now, her physical abilities, speed, and intelligence had all been developed to heights ordinary people could not imagine!

Among her own kind, she was an existence that crushed all others and surpassed the gods!

A faint smile appeared on Ye Huo's delicate face as she said slowly, "Come on. The most expensive hotel in the imperial capital-my treat!"

"Yay, thank you, boss!"

Thousand Mechanisms-a white-haired youth who had been injected with a growth inhibitor, leaving his appearance forever fixed in adolescence.

He had short brown hair, sharp features, and a lean build. Wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, he always carried a black computer bag containing his hacking computer.

"Yay! Boss, let's go have a feast!"

Blood Blade was enormous, like a giant.

A single punch from him could smash a skull or send an iron door flying. He was a super assassin who relied on strength. But his intellectual development was slow, and he often liked to cling to his boss like a child!

Snake Demon was a seduction-type assassin.

She was a devilish angel who combined innocence and allure in one body.

Every man in the world would have his soul stolen away the moment he laid eyes on her.

That figure, that slender waist, those alluring features-she was more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in the world!

Snake Demon specialized in captivating her opponents. She hated scumbags, and all the targets of the jobs she accepted were shameless men guilty of domestic violence or infidelity!

With all four assembled, they happily went off to enjoy a feast!
