Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1254: Winds and Clouds Surging

As Holder’s voice just fell, a voice full of sarcasm immediately echoed in the conference room: “Heh, Saint Heir, you say so much, but is it useful? Don’t tell us this useless nonsense. We’ve heard it enough. Standing on the moral high ground to judge others has no effect on us. We need to hear something practical.”

Hearing these words, Holder’s gaze swept toward a bald man in his forties or fifties sitting next to him, wearing a gray monk’s robe. Holder’s face turned somewhat gloomy: “Mr. Shankou Hongyi, what do you mean by this? I need a reasonable explanation from you; otherwise, our Church’s Cross Expedition Army will not mind making a trip to your Tokyo.”

“Hmph, Saint Heir, don’t try to scare me with the Cross Expedition Army. The Cross Expedition Army is indeed fearsome, but unfortunately, Saint Heir, can you command them?”

The bald man in a gray monk’s robe, Shankou Hongyi, sneered and said: “And Saint Heir, don’t make it sound so solemn and respectful. Aren’t you here this time for the Four Symbols Ring in the Judge’s hands? Everyone knows how miraculous this Four Symbols Ring is. Whoever holds it might gain the power of immortality.”

“So, what we care about is not whether the Judge has trampled the Western World or whatever; what we care about is how the Four Symbols Ring will be allocated after killing the Judge. After all, the Judge only has one ring. How do we divide it among so many people? This is the crucial point that concerns whether we can successfully collaborate or if you, Saint Heir, just intend to use us as cannon fodder, going to our deaths while you reap the benefits?”

After hearing Shankou Hongyi’s words, Holder’s face instantly turned gloomy, and a flash of venomous killing intent flickered deep in his eyes. Shankou Hongyi’s words clearly put him on the spot.

If the Four Symbols Ring in Lu Tianxing’s hands were to go directly to the Church, it would be better to outrightly fall out with these people. But giving it up is also impossible; his main goal this time is for the Four Symbols Ring. Without obtaining it, he would be unable to account for himself upon returning.

No one around spoke; everyone’s eyes were focused on Holder, waiting for his response. For them, assassinating the Judge was already a considerable risk. If they couldn’t kill the Judge or gain any benefit, they wouldn’t risk coming to New York.

But they couldn’t question Holder like Shankou Hongyi, as the Church is a formidable entity in the Western World. Offending the Church is an unwise choice for those who still want to survive in the Western World.

Holder, not an ordinary person to become the Holy Son of the Church, quickly regained his composure after a brief silence. Looking at Shankou Hongyi, he said, “Mr. Shankou Hongyi, since you’ve already spoken up, why don’t you share your thoughts? I believe you must have a strategy, right?”

Shankou Hongyi glanced at Holder and said unceremoniously: “Everyone should compete for the Four Symbols Ring on their own merits. You all know the Judge has the Four Symbols Ring, but I think everyone is well aware of the Judge’s strength, having already broken through to the early-stage mythical level. In other words, it is almost impossible for us to capture the Judge alive. So, our best strategy is to target the Judge’s woman. As long as we capture this woman, the Judge will surely yield. If he refuses, we can have a few strong men put on a passionate show with his wife for him to see.”

As he finished speaking, a sinister smile appeared on Shankou Hongyi’s face, seemingly pleased with his plan.

“Hmph, a dirty race is still a dirty race.”

As Shankou Hongyi finished speaking, a mocking voice sounded beside him. A large white man stood up from his chair, completely ignoring Shankou Hongyi’s sharp gaze, speaking in an unfriendly tone: “Kidnapping the Judge’s presence, who will do it? Is it you, Shankou Hongyi, or someone from our side? Everyone knows how terrifying the Judge is. Even if we kill the Judge, who can withstand the Netherworld Mercenary Corps’ retaliation? If you want to capture the Judge’s wife, Shankou Hongyi, will you go?”

“Yue’er, you’re being impudent. Do you think I dare not kill you?”

Shankou Hongyi was furious, radiating a chilling killing intent.

“Yue’er is right, kidnapping the Judge’s wife is absolutely infeasible. Not to mention the cost of kidnapping the Judge’s wife, now the Judge’s wife is staying at the Bikeman Hotel, which is the territory of the Angel Intelligence Station. To capture someone on their territory, you all don’t intend to fall out with the Angel Intelligence Station, do you?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed. They were well aware of the terrifying nature of the Angel Intelligence Station. Even though the Angel Intelligence Station is dedicated to intelligence, that is precisely what makes it the most frightening. As a Clan Leader or similar, wouldn’t anyone have a few enemies? If the Angel Intelligence Station divulges all your information to your enemies, you might find yourself dead some day.

“Mr. Shankou Hongyi, it seems your plan is unfeasible.” Holder said coldly from the side.

Shankou Hongyi’s face showed an unpleasant look, and he said grimly: “My plan doesn’t work, so I wonder if Saint Heir has any good ideas.”

“Of course, my plan is more advanced than yours.”

Holder gave Shankou Hongyi a mocking look and said indifferently: “I think everyone here is quite well aware of how terrifying the Judge’s strength is. If we act rashly and alert him, if we can’t kill the Judge, I think everyone here should know what to expect next. Without complete preparation, it’s tough for us to kill him.”

“Saint Heir, you regard him too highly. After all, he’s just at the early-stage mythical level.” Shankou Hongyi mocked.

“Shankou Hongyi, if I’m not mistaken, your Shankou Family sent people to China not long ago, and it seems they were all wiped out just a couple of days ago. Do you think that’s the doing of someone merely at the early-stage mythical level?”

Holder looked at Shankou Hongyi with a face full of ridicule and said again: “If anyone among you thinks I’m wrong or disagrees with me, you can choose to leave now. However, leaving means you’re out of the picture. Before we take action, no one is allowed to alert him, or you’ll be against all of us. Shankou Hongyi, are you deciding to leave?”

“Hmph.”

Facing Holder’s mockery, Shankou Hongyi snorted coldly with an unpleasant look, but he didn’t choose to leave. He had come to New York with a death order to take the Four Symbols Ring back to Japan.

The few people sitting around looked at each other, but in the end, none of them stood up to leave. They were all shrewd individuals. Although Holder had said they could choose to leave if they didn’t participate, everyone knew that leaving meant certain death. After all, as the saying goes, only dead men tell no tales. If the information leaks to the Judge, their efforts might be for naught. No one could endure the mad vengeance of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps.
