“Wow!”
Yumi pressed the button, and a sound broke through the air. A silver needle shot out from the hairpin. It was like a stream of cold light from the reflection of the candlelight; it zoomed straight toward Donoghue’s heart at lighting speed.
There was a faint streak of blue light on the needle, which was obviously the poison.
The incident happened too suddenly. Donoghue had no time to react, let alone a chance to dodge the attack.
Ping!
The silver needle hit Donoghue’s back, but it did not pierce through his flesh. It made a crisp sound and bounced off.
‘What?’
Yumi shuddered at the sight; her face immediately paled.
‘How could this be? My ambush was perfect. Why didn’t the needle pierce through him? Why did it bounce off?’
Donoghue turned around and glared at Yumi.
The next second, Donoghue saw the silver needle on the ground, and he finally understood what had happened. He sneered at her. “Oh, you b*tch! So, you did all that just for show. You wanted to kill me?”
“I—” Yumi’s face was pale. She tensed, and she could not even say a word.
Donoghue said contemptuously, “Are you curious why I’m safe even when you did everything so perfectly?”
Then, Donoghue tore his dragon robe off and revealed a soft armor on the inside. The purple-gold soft armor looked noble and luxurious. It was extremely tough.
That was the Purply Gold Soft Armor; it was a treasure found in the Westrington Palace. The previous emperor kept it in his bedchamber. After Donoghue became the Emperor, he thought that the soft armor was excellent, so he decided to wear it on himself.
Donoghue thought it was something new and fun; he never expected the soft armor to do anything. Unexpectedly, it had saved his life.
Oh…
Yumi trembled; she was stupefied when she saw the Purply Gold Soft Armor on Donoghue.
‘No wonder he’s fine; he had armor on him. Why? Why is this scumbag so lucky?’
Donoghue sneered as he approached Yumi slowly.
“You! What are you doing?”
Yum trembled. Donoghue’s eyes looked so devilish—she would never forget it for a lifetime!
