Lu Tianxing walked into the Marriott Hotel without any hesitation and headed straight for the presidential suite on the top floor.
Taking the elevator to the top floor, as soon as he stepped out, Lu Tianxing saw Lu Chuan already standing at the elevator door, seemingly waiting specifically for his arrival.
"Young Master Three." As soon as Lu Chuan saw Lu Tianxing, he imdiately greeted him respectfully.
"Housekeeper Lu, where is my cousin?" Lu Tianxing nodded and spoke without any delay.
"Young Master Three, the Family Head is waiting for you. Please follow ."
Lu Chuan made a gesture of invitation and walked in a different direction instead of heading towards the presidential suite.
Monts later, under Lu Chuan’s guidance, Lu Tianxing arrived at an open-air leisure area on the top floor. Chairs were placed here and there, the lighting wasn’t particularly bright, but coupled with the starry sky, it gave off an unprecedented sense of tranquility.
"Young Master Three, the Family Head is waiting for you there, you can go over." Lu Chuan stopped at the entrance to the leisure area and pointed to a spot near the balcony edge, speaking up.
"Thank you, Housekeeper Lu."
"Young Master Three, you’re too polite, please."
Lu Tianxing said nothing more, nodded to Lu Chuan, and strode over to where Lu Haoyue was.
At that mont, sitting near the balcony edge, Lu Haoyue was gazing at the myriad of city lights in the distance, his expression calm, leaving one guessing about his thoughts. His slightly stern face looked particularly handso under the light, catching the eyes of many won around.
Upon hearing approaching footsteps, Lu Haoyue snapped back to reality and turned his head. Seeing Lu Tianxing approaching, a smile imdiately appeared on Lu Haoyue’s face.
"You’re here, cousin."
"Yes."
Lu Tianxing nodded, then sat down directly opposite Lu Haoyue without any formality.
Once Lu Tianxing sat, Lu Haoyue poured him a cup of tea, pushed it in front of him, and spoke again, "Cousin, you’re here so late, are you trying to persuade to leave Beijing?"
"That’s right."
Lu Tianxing nodded, not finding it surprising that Lu Haoyue knew his purpose. He said solemnly, "Cousin, I think you know how unstable Beijing is now. It’s about to beco a battlefield, a deadly one. Staying in Beijing will make you a target, and you’ll die here, do you understand?"
"I understand."
Lu Haoyue nodded solemnly. For those harboring hatred against the Lu Family, destroying the Lu Family ans first eliminating Old Master Lu, and the best way to do that is to drive him mad first.
Once a person is driven mad, they lose their senses, making it effortless to kill them.
The best way to drive Old Master Lu mad is to kill him and Lu Tianxing. Once the two of them are dead, the Lu Family is effectively extinct. In such a situation, Old Master Lu will undoubtedly go berserk, inciting a bloodbath, and ultimately, his fate will be a dead end.
"Since you know this, why co to Beijing? Do you want to see the Lu Family’s downfall? Moreover, as the head of the Lu Family, you’re responsible for leading it into the future; you’re not alone. If sothing happens to you, what about the Lu Family?"
Looking at Lu Haoyue, Lu Tianxing said solemnly, "You must leave Beijing imdiately, I will arrange for your safe return to Jiangnan."
"Leave?"
After hearing this, Lu Haoyue took a deep breath and said heavily, "Cousin, precisely because I am the head of the Lu Family, I must get involved in this. Since the Lu Family was established, there’s never been any abandonnt of kin. Plus, you’re my brother. I, Lu Haoyue, will never watch my brother take risks alone. We, n of the Lu Family, have steely resolve, we stand tall, and fear no challenge. Why should we fear anyone? I ca to Beijing to fight alongside you because you are my brother, Lu Haoyue. I don’t want to grow old without a brother by my side."
Hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Lu Tianxing was montarily stunned, a bitter smile crossed his heart, and he ultimately chose not to persuade Lu Haoyue any further. Instead, he looked at Lu Haoyue and said heavily, "You’re right, we’re brothers. This ti, we’ll fight side by side, cause an upheaval, and let everyone know the courage of the n of the Lu Family. Let everyone know that the Lu Family is not to be trifled with."
As he spoke, Lu Tianxing extended his hand towards Lu Haoyue.
"Clap!"
Lu Haoyue likewise extended his arm, clasping Lu Tianxing’s hand firmly. Brothers united, their strength can cut through gold.
"Cousin, do you have any plans for what’s next? This ti, I brought the Lu Family Guards here. Do you need to assign a squad to secretly protect you? That way, if anything happens, we can respond accordingly. Even if we’re not a match, they’ll be able to stall for ti while awaiting rescue," Lu Haoyue said, sipping his tea and looking at Lu Tianxing intently.
"Not for now."
Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, "I understand Avril. She is an extrely cautious person and wouldn’t risk attacking with her full strength unless she’s absolutely sure. If my guess is correct, even if she makes a move against , it’ll be to test , or to probe how many hidden cards I have around , rather than launching a deadly assault. As long as her late-stage mythical experts don’t strike, I can guarantee my safe retreat. Therefore, for now, don’t have the Lu Family Guards appear."
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lu Haoyue remained silent for a mont before speaking again, "You’re suggesting the Lu Family Guards stay hidden and wait for the right mont to deliver a fatal blow."
"Exactly, enemies in the open aren’t scary; the truly terrifying ones are the hidden snakes in the dark. This ti, I want the Lu Family Guards to beco those hidden snakes, ready to strike the enemy with the most lethal attack, completely wiping them out. Even if it doesn’t make them fear us, I want to cripple them."
As his words fell, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes. A person must be ruthless to stand strong. This ti, he wanted everyone to know the consequences of scheming against him.
"Understood, I’ll arrange it accordingly."
Lu Haoyue nodded heavily and spoke again, "Cousin, how do you plan to deal with Avril?"
"Avril?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing frowned slowly, his expression sowhat displeased. Avril is clearly his enemy, yet he can’t bring himself to act against her. He even has to protect her, which feels as annoying as swallowing a fly.
After a mont, Lu Tianxing finally said, "Avril cannot die for now, nor does she need our concern. Those people likely don’t have the guts to target Avril right now. Besides, she has a late-stage mythical expert protecting her, so I don’t think anyone would be bold enough to ss with her."
"You’re right, as long as Avril doesn’t seek death, no one should be able to ss with her."
Lu Haoyue nodded.
Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything further and simply continued drinking his tea, enjoying the view of Beijing.
Later, Lu Tianxing and Lu Haoyue conspired for a while longer before concluding their discussion.
However, as they left the Marriott Hotel, both Lu Tianxing and Lu Haoyue’s faces flashed with a bloodthirsty intent. This ti, with their brotherhood united, they would bring bloodshed to Beijing — anyone who stands in the way will die.
A scent of blood began to perate the air over Beijing.
After leaving the Marriott Hotel, Lu Tianxing didn’t linger outside but drove straight to the Sky Dragon Club, previously owned by the Wang Family but now under the na of Yama Palace.
The person tailing Lu Tianxing, upon seeing him enter the Sky Dragon Club, imdiately took out his phone and dialed Avril’s number.
"Holy Daughter, Lu Tianxing has left the Marriott Hotel. He’s now gone to the Sky Dragon Club."
"Still alone?" Avril asked gravely.
"Yes, he’s still alone, and there’s no sign of any entourage around him."
"I understand. Stay where you are and continue observing."
"Alright."
The phone was promptly hung up.
Inside Maria Church, Avril placed her phone down, glancing around as she spoke, "Just now, a Yang Family spy sent word again that the Judge has left the Marriott Hotel and gone to the Sky Dragon Club, but there’s still no one accompanying him."
At this point, a strong sense of unease flashed in Avril’s sapphire-like eyes, and she spoke again, "However, as far as I know, the Sky Dragon Club was founded by the Judge’s woman. This entity, known as Yama Palace, has one of its branch offices in the Sky Dragon Club. Now that Lu Tianxing has gone there, there might be hidden traps laid by the Judge. I strongly recomnd that we abandon our attack this ti."
"Abandon?"
Before Avril’s words were even finished, Dio spoke out discontentedly, "Avril, what do you an by that? After finally waiting for Lu Tianxing, this yellow-skinned monkey, to venture out alone, you’re telling us to give up now? What’s your real intention? If you don’t dare to make a move, then let our Arican Superhero Team handle it. But, it’s agreed: if I do it, the Four Symbols Ring will belong to . Hmph."
With his words coldly concluded, Dio didn’t say anything more, blatantly ignoring Avril and Poseidon, turning to leave.
PS: It’s getting hotter and hotter. It feels like the electric fan can’t handle it anymore; the wind it blows is scorching hot!!!
