Chapter 1644: Chapter 1637: Head-On Confrontation

”You... ”

As Dio heard Avril’s blunt words, his face stiffened, a flash of anger crossed his heart, yet he couldn’t let it out, so he coldly said, ”So, do you have any plans, Holy Daughter? Perhaps you’d like to share them with us.”

Avril glanced at Dio, her fingers lightly tapping on the meeting table, and said indifferently, ”This time, the Judge dares to issue a challenge, which means he’s already fully prepared, or rather, he’s confident enough to deal with us. Therefore, he invites us to have a decisive battle on the Great Wall in three days. Of course, this also means the Judge is apprehensive about us, no longer daring to let us hide in the shadows to deal with him. So, he’s using this method to force us out for a direct confrontation.”

”So, Holy Daughter, are you saying we shouldn’t bother with this Judge’s Mark?” Poseidon spoke up from the side.

Hearing Poseidon’s words, Avril shook her head and said, ”Poseidon, you’re wrong. Not only should we pay attention to it, but quite the opposite, we must accept his invitation and have a life-and-death battle with him at the Great Wall.”

Upon hearing Avril’s words, Poseidon furrowed his brows and said, ”Holy Daughter, since you told us that Lu Tianxing issued this challenge because he’s ready, and he dares to do this, if we agree to his terms, wouldn’t that mean falling into his trap? This could be a significant loss for us.”

”But we have no other choice.”

Avril took a deep breath and said heavily, ”This time, it’s obvious the Judge wants to force us into a direct confrontation, but we have no other option. If we don’t seize this opportunity, the Judge is very likely to leave Beijing. I think you all know, if we let the Judge leave Beijing, it will be much harder for us to deal with him. If his power increases or reaches the Late Stage of Mythical, do you think anyone among us can stop him?”

”Since he wants to leave Beijing, can’t we intercept him halfway and kill him there? That would make him the second Lu Tianzhan.” Dio said coldly at this moment.

”Intercept him halfway, Dio, do you think Lu Tianxing will give us that chance?”

Avril calmly glanced at Dio: ”Whether Lu Tianxing leaves by plane or not, do you think we can act against him? The Judge knows very well that if we don’t act now, we’ll certainly intercept him halfway. If he brings Old Master of Lu Family over, waiting for us to walk into a trap, do you think we could handle Old Master of Lu Family? Not to mention the relationship between Lu Family’s Old Master and Sima Lingyun?”

As Avril spoke, both Poseidon and Dio fell silent, no one speaking a word. Whether they wanted to admit it or not, it was a solid fact; Old Master Lu was not someone they could deal with, even if Cardinal Charles beside Avril was at the Peak of Late-stage Mythical, Old Master Lu could effortlessly eliminate three Late-stage Mythical powerhouses single-handedly with no injuries. This strength is quite apparent, not to mention Old Master Lu’s good relations with the previous leader of the Yanhuang Group. Once these two join forces, they will undoubtedly be unstoppable.

”Holy Daughter, what do you think we should do next?” Poseidon said in a deep voice.

”Accept the challenge, three days later, and have a life-and-death battle with the Judge at the Great Wall. This is currently our best option and our only option; we must face him head-on.”

Avril’s gaze swept over Poseidon and Dio, speaking slowly with an unmistakable killing intent in her voice, ”However, to kill Lu Tianxing, we must have enough cannon fodder to wear down his strength before launching a fatal blow.”

Upon hearing Avril’s words, Poseidon and Dio both frowned. Cannon fodder is essentially a suicide squad, sending people to die is something they’re reluctant to accept, as these people are elites, and losing even one elite is a huge problem.

”What, you’re unwilling?”

Avril sneered, ”Do you think your elites are more important, or is the Judge’s life more important, or do you want to be killed by the Judge yourself when he breaks through to the Late Stage of Mythical in a few years?”

Upon hearing Avril’s words, Poseidon and Dio’s expressions worsened again. Lu Tianxing had just entered Mid-stage Mythical recently and easily killed Mid-stage Peak-level people. If Lu Tianxing breaks through to the Late Stage of Mythical, who could stop him?

Taking a deep breath, Poseidon slowly said, ”We have few people at Holy Mountain; this time, including me, we have a total of four. I can only provide four people, but they are all Mid-stage Peak Mythical masters, who can serve as the main offensive forces against the Judge.”

”That’s acceptable.”

Avril nodded, not minding Poseidon’s words. A Mid-stage Peak Mythical master could equal a dozen early-stage Mythical people.

”I lost ten subordinates yesterday. I’ll provide forty Superpower Users.”

Dio said slowly, his gaze falling on Avril, ”We’ve contributed our men, and you, Avril?”

”I’ll contribute thirty Light Knights and six Mid-stage Mythical Cardinals.”

Avril straightforwardly said, ”From now on, we must unite as one, and no one is allowed to engage in petty tricks. Otherwise, we might all die at the Great Wall. I hope you understand this.”

”You can rest assured on that point, Holy Daughter,” Poseidon nodded.

”I also have no objections.”

Dio nodded in agreement and looked at Avril, saying, ”Avril, we entrust all the cannon fodder to you, but I hope there won’t be any mistakes in between. Otherwise, the American Superhero Team will be your Church’s lifelong enemy.”

Avril’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Dio’s words and she said coldly, ”Poseidon, what do you mean by that?”

”No special meaning. I just don’t want you to end up being our biggest enemy, so I’m reminding you in advance,” Dio said calmly.

”Rest assured on that front. I, Avril, am not like you bunch of Americans, who would flip faces so casually.”

”Let’s hope so.”

”Humph, in that case, we’ll meet at the Great Wall in three days.”

With that, Avril stood up and walked outside.

At that moment, the whole of Beijing returned to calm, seemingly becoming tranquil all at once. But everyone knew this was just the calm before the storm.

Meanwhile, at the Han Family Hotel, Lu Tianxing had already gotten up early, sitting leisurely on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, his eyes deep, contemplating something unknown.

Time quietly slipped away, and no one knew how long it had been when suddenly the door of the presidential suite was pushed open from outside. Starving Ghost’s head slowly poked through the door crack. After his eyes scanned the room, he pushed the door and came in carrying a plastic bag.

Behind Starving Ghost, Tan Lang and Po Jun followed closely.

”Boss, how’s it going? We didn’t disturb you, did we? We waited until ten o’clock to come find you.”

Starving Ghost chuckled, scanned the surroundings, and then looked peculiarly at Lu Tianxing, saying, ”Boss, take it easy. Soon you’ll be having a life-and-death duel with Avril and the others. You’ve got to take care not to exhaust yourself. Imagine having weak legs at life and death moments—it’d be over.”

”Get lost.”

Lu Tianxing glared at Starving Ghost irritably.

Starving Ghost chuckled, undeterred by Lu Tianxing’s attitude, continuing, ”Boss, don’t worry, I promise not to spread this around, definitely won’t tell the big sister-in-law or second sister-in-law. Men, you know, traveling outside, I get it.”

Upon hearing Starving Ghost’s words, Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes, saying, ”Go play somewhere else. Not everyone’s like you, knowing only how to hook up with women all day long without success.”

At this moment, Xue Bing came out of the room, humming a light tune with her phone in hand. Her pretty face instantly showed an uncontainable blush upon seeing Starving Ghost, Tan Lang, and Po Jun in the room.

”Sister-in-law, good morning.” Starving Ghost noticed Xue Bing’s slightly awkward stance and discreetly gave Lu Tianxing a thumbs-up, then stood up and greeted.

Po Jun also stood up and called out, ”Sister-in-law, good morning,” while Tan Lang gave Avril a slight smile as a greeting.

”Good morning to you all.”

Despite feeling a bit shy hearing Starving Ghost and the others refer to her, Xue Bing, though her face was somewhat flushed, didn’t refute and accepted the title pleasantly, then sat next to Lu Tianxing.

”By the way, sister-in-law, you haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I brought you breakfast. Try it and see if it suits your taste. If not, I’ll go buy something else for you right away.”

While speaking, Starving Ghost placed the handbag he carried on the coffee table, opened it, and immediately a rich aroma filled the air.

Looking at the steaming breakfast on the table, Xue Bing was slightly taken aback, then she nodded and said, ”Starving Ghost, thank you.”

”Sister-in-law, you’re too kind; we’re all family, no need for politeness,” Starving Ghost said with a wave of his hand.

Lu Tianxing watched this unfold, a black line on his face. He never noticed Starving Ghost had such a sycophantic side.

Xue Bing smiled at Starving Ghost and said nothing more, instead picking up a meat bun and starting to eat. After being tortured by Lu Tianxing last night, she was already famished.
