Chapter 783: Chapter 778 This Is Your Path

”Wait a moment.”

Seeing Lu Tianxing about to leave, Bai Zhiqing suddenly spoke up, ”Lu Tianxing, come clean with me. Do you know who the president of Angel Group is? Why are you so familiar with her? What exactly did you say to the president of Angel Group last time you were in Xiangjiang?”

”Uh!”

Lu Tianxing stopped in his tracks, ”Is this really that important?”

”Of course,” the three women said in unison.

Lin Qianru glanced at the astonished Lu Tianxing and said emphatically, ”If you know the person behind the scenes at Angel Group, it means we can use your connection to meet the president of Angel Group in advance, get to know the company first-hand, see who they are interested in partnering with. That way, we can know ourselves as well as our enemy, and our chances of success will increase. After all, sometimes connections are far more valuable than actual power.”

”You’re cheating.”

”Cheating? Assistant Lu, how is this cheating? We’re simply making use of all the resources available to us. Besides, this world isn’t fair to begin with. Some people fight their whole lives just to buy a house in the city and have a seven-figure savings, while others are born with all of that. So, do you think that’s cheating?” Xue Man also chimed in at this moment.

”No, he’s the illegitimate child of God’s slowpoke grandson.”

Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes and slowly said, ”It’s no use, I don’t know the president of Angel Group. The person from Angel Group who I met was a foreign guy with a beard, the kind that’s full of facial hair. Unfortunately, he is just the president of the Asian Region, not the real power behind the scenes, so I can’t help you. Besides, going through the back door isn’t your style, don’t you want to win fair and square on your own merits?”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, the three women instinctively froze, not expecting him to say such a thing. Winning fairly and squarely assumed an equal playing field, but in the business arena, which is like a battlefield, taking the shortcut when available rather than saying let’s play soldier vs. soldier, general vs. general, challenging each other to a duel, was such a naïve comment.

Seeing the stunned expressions of the three women, Lu Tianxing chuckled, made no further stay, and turned to walk outside. In that fleeting moment after he turned around, a bitter smile that was barely perceptible appeared at the corner of Lu Tianxing’s mouth: ”Angel, what exactly are you up to? You know this is a provocation, don’t you?”

The Angel Intelligence Station is a foreign force, and for a foreign power to attempt establishing its own intelligence network in China is like courting death. Setting aside whether the state would permit it, it was likely that neither the Yanhuang Group nor the powerful clans would tolerate being constantly watched over, and inevitably, they would strive to destroy this intelligence network.

It seemed he needed to have a talk with Angel. Foreign powers are different from China; China would not allow foreign forces to enter.

Bai Zhiqing and the other two women didn’t pay much attention to Lu Tianxing’s departure. After a brief moment of distraction, they quickly regained focus and began to passionately discuss how to deal with the situation: whether to proactively approach Angel Group or wait for Angel Group to come to them.

However, for Lu Tianxing, all this was completely unnecessary. Casually glancing around, he found a secluded spot, pulled out his phone, and immediately dialed Angel’s number.

The phone rang for a moment before it was immediately picked up, and Angel’s voice, full of allure, came through.

”My dear Judge, what’s brought on this sudden call? It’s only been a few days; are you already aching to see me? Can you tell me if you miss my body or the actual person here?”

”Miss my ass.”

Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes and said irritably, ”Angel, what are you up to? Do you realize that with these antics, you might never be able to leave Beijing? You think you can just stroll into Beijing? Do you believe there are tons of old bastards around you watching your every move? The second you slip up, they could kill you in an instant. I don’t care what you’re planning or what games you’re playing; get out of Beijing right now.”

”Leave Beijing? I might as well head to Modu then,”

came Zhiqing’s playful voice.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing immediately frowned, half-joking. If Angel ran off to Beijing, would he have a chance to survive? With Angel’s nature, who knows if she’d arm-wrestle with Bai Zhiqing.

”Angel, don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes. What are you doing in Beijing? Don’t tell me you’re there looking for a business partner. The Angel Group doesn’t need that at all,” Lu Tianxing lowered his voice and said.

”You can’t hide anything from you, can you, Judge? What if I told you I’ve investigated the whereabouts of the Heavenly God, would you believe me?”

Hearing these words from Angel, Lu Tianxing’s expression changed as he said with a grave voice, ”Angel, you’re saying you’ve tracked down Heavenly God? Why didn’t you tell me? Haven’t I told you not to get involved in this? Who gave you permission? Do you realize how powerful Heavenly God’s forces are? Even I cannot assure that I can handle him. Do you understand that going there is tantamount to seeking death?”

As Lu Tianxing spoke, his voice was strained with suppressed anger. Dealing with Heavenly God, the man gave off an aura of mystery, dread, unfathomably deep power, and countless formidable underlings. Just the Twelve Terrifying alone; any one of them could become a great family’s revered warrior, an invincible mighty figure. If Angel went to Beijing for Heavenly God, Heavenly God would surely not spare her.

Instead of being surprised by Lu Tianxing’s voice filled with suppressed fury, Angel’s lips curled into a smile that could turn the world upside down, ”Judge, I know you are worried about me, but have you forgotten? I, Angel, never fight a battle without certainty. This time I’ve come to Beijing just to seek business partners, and they can’t touch me. If I had any hesitation, I wouldn’t dare come. And besides, as my man, would you be willing to see me hurt? Moreover, I do not want some vermin plotting against you from dark corners. More importantly, Judge, don’t you think you’ve been quiet for too long?”

”What do you mean?”

”Judge, you don’t belong in a tranquil city. Your life is filled with passion and bloodshed. That’s the path you ought to walk; that’s your life. When you became the Judge, your path changed. What you need to do is to climb over the enemy’s bones, to forge an invincible throne of your own.”

”You’ve been dormant for a year. In this past year, your reputation has vanished, your deterrence has faded, so much so that every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks they can trouble you. I’m worried, worried that one day your ambitions will vanish forever, and you’ll lose any proactive spirit. Judge, that’s not the path for you. Your path is to advance over your enemies’ corpses, to forge your own name in invincibility, to let everyone tremble at the mention of you. That is the real you, the invincible Judge of my heart...”

Angel’s fervent voice trembled from across the phone, her body shaking, her face like that of a pilgrim, burning with invincible passion. She didn’t want to see a mundane Lu Tianxing; she longed for the Judge who once led the Netherworld Mercenary Corps abroad, feared by all powers at the mention of his
