"Boss, I’m not leaving."
Just as Lu Tianxing finished speaking, Little Bee was the first to declare, "I’ve lived so long; if I die, so be it. What’s the big deal? I’ve already enjoyed everything there is to enjoy, so why be afraid of death."
"Boss, you saved my life, so I’m not leaving either."
"That’s right, Boss. We are brothers. We may not be born the sa year, sa month, and sa day, but we will die in the sa year, sa month, and sa day."
"Exactly, we are brothers. United we stand, and nothing can break us. Besides, there’s no certainty we will lose to them this ti. The outco is still uncertain!"
The voices resonated in the room, filled with resolution and decisiveness. Each face bore a cold and solemn expression. They were all mbers of the Netherworld rcenary Corps, a group that never leaves one behind.
Listening to the undeniable tone around him, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath but didn’t say anything. Instead, he turned his gaze to Angel.
"Why are you looking at like that? You’re my man. Wherever you are, I am too. Besides, I believe you won’t lose," Angel said with a smile, looking at Lu Tianxing.
"Brother, don’t look at either. There’s no way I’m leaving. Before I ca here, your sister-in-law repeatedly told to take good care of you. If I leave, how will I get my allowance in the future? I’m not going anywhere." As soon as Angel finished speaking, Mandala quickly spoke up, fearing that Lu Tianxing might say sothing.
Hearing Mandala’s words, Lu Tianxing slowly withdrew his gaze, exhaled a heavy breath, and said, "In that case, I won’t say any more nonsense. You should all rest for a bit, and let’s make it quick. Tonight, we’ll take action and send Hades on his way."
Everyone was taken aback by Lu Tianxing’s words, not expecting him to decide to act tonight. It seed a bit too quick.
Angel looked at Lu Tianxing seriously, "Dear, are you sure? Once we act, there’s no turning back."
"I have no way back now either."
Lu Tianxing said emphatically, "Besides, Avril ntioned that while many forces are heading to the Eagle Country, it doesn’t an they can act recklessly. Moreover, how many of them could predict our swift action? If we can eliminate them in a short ti, the danger will be greatly reduced, which is our chance."
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, everyone hesitated for a mont but eventually nodded in agreent. Speed is crucial in warfare, and sotis it produces unexpected results.
Seeing everyone nod in agreent, Lu Tianxing turned his gaze back to Angel, speaking without any hesitation, "I’m leaving this to you, Angel. No matter what, plan the escape route tonight. Once successful, we retreat imdiately with no stops. Understand?"
"Understood, leave it to ."
Angel’s charming face took on a particularly serious expression, with no hesitation.
"Manman, bring out all the poison you’ve prepared and give it to Tan Lang and the others, just in case."
"No problem."
Mandala nodded firmly.
Lu Tianxing nodded, then stood up from the sofa and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He took out his phone, scrolled through it, and dialed a number.
Within monts, the call was connected.
"I assu you’ve heard about the situation in the Eagle Country. If you back out now, it’s not too late. Otherwise, you know the consequences better than I do," Lu Tianxing said before the other party could speak.
"Consequences? Haha, I once stord into Europe alone with a sword and ca out unscathed. Do you think I’m easily scared?"
A voice ca from the phone, "Besides, I’ve mobilized considerable resources. Leaving now would turn into a complete joke."
"Are you so eager to die...?"
"Yes, I am,"
The person on the other end interrupted Lu Tianxing, "If you can choose a path of self-destruction, why can’t I? Besides, as a disciple of Ji Xingyun, I’m not much inferior to you, the Third Young Master of the Lu Family. This ti, I don’t mind using the lives of outsiders to hone my sword."
"Then go ahead and seek death slowly!"
Lu Tianxing retorted fiercely, "I’m warning you, if anything happens, don’t expect to save you."
"Don’t worry, even if you die, I won’t."
The other party was unfazed by Lu Tianxing’s harsh words, "So, are you planning to act tonight?"
"You know?"
"I also learned the phrase ’Speed is of the essence’."
The person nonchalantly continued, "Are you sure the priest at the Redemption Church is Hades?"
"If I weren’t sure, do you think I would act so rashly?"
"Then you should be careful. Being Hades of the Holy Mountain, the opponent’s strength isn’t weak. You better watch out."
"I know what to do about that."
Lu Tianxing nodded, his voice steady, "I’ll leave dealing with the other forces to you. I’ll take out Hades as quickly as possible and then retreat. I’ll notify you then."
"If you make a move again, the conflict between you and the Holy Mountain will no longer have a chance for resolution. You’ll only have one path: either eradicate the Holy Mountain, or the Holy Mountain will hunt you down, along with everyone connected to you."
"A retreat?"
After hearing the words on the other end, Lu Tianxing sighed slightly, "Do you think I still have a retreat? As long as the Four Symbols Ring is in my hand, there’s nowhere to retreat to. So, I might as well give it everything I’ve got."
The cold tone in Lu Tianxing’s voice prompted a mont of silence on the other end before a voice ca through, "Alright, I understand. Tonight, I’ll help hold off so forces, but I can’t guarantee how long I’ll keep them at bay."
"If you can delay them for over ten minutes, that will be enough."
"Ten minutes? No problem at all."
Hearing the voice on the other end, Lu Tianxing said no more and hung up the call directly.
After ending the call, he glanced at the azure sky, murmuring to himself, "Heavenly God, our eting is soon. Once I deal with everyone, I’ll show you your end."
