<strong>Capítulo 1608: Chapter 6001: Poseidon</strong>


    Time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye, it’s already the next day. As the sunlight rose from the horizon, illuminating the entire Huaxia Land, Lu Tianxing, fully dressed, walked out of the hotel and drove a car that Han Zifeng had sent overst night, heading straight towards the airport without any pause.


    Meanwhile, at the Yang Family.


    Yang Anlong sat solemnly on the sofa, his face icy cold, holding a lit cigarette between his fingers. Through the swirling smoke, his eyes appeared particrly menacing, like a venomous snake exuding a chilling aura.


    In front of Yang Anlong, a somewhat frail middle-aged man stood respectfully, not daring to even take a deep breath, a hint of sweat on his forehead. Even though a full ten minutes had passed since he entered, Yang Anlong hadn’t said a single word, but the middle-aged man dared not show any dissatisfaction, only standing there respectfully.


    After an indeterminate amount of time, Yang Anlong flicked away the cigarette butt in his hand and slowly said, “Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong? Last night Avril and Lu Tianxing met, and they even hugged each other?”


    Hearing Yang Anlong’s words, the middle-aged man immediately responded, “Family Head, I can guarantee I didn’t see it wrong. Ever since Avril arrived in China, you had me keeping an eye on her. I haven’t dared to rx for a moment, always watching in secret. Everything I saw was with my own eyes, not a word of it is a lie. Otherwise, may I be struck by lightning five times.”


    Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Yang Anlong’s face grew even more somber. This time, the Yang Family had coborated with Avril, but now, on Lu Tianxing’s first day in Beijing, the two had secretly met and even hugged. If there were no hidden agendas between them, Yang Anlong wouldn’t believe it, even if beaten to death.


    “Did you see anything else besides them hugging?” Yang Anlong asked again.


    “Avril seemed to say something to Lu Tianxing, but I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn’t dare get too close. I could only watch from a distance, so I couldn’t hear what they were saying. However, I could tell that Avril seemed very angry, as if Lu Tianxing had done something extremely outrageous. Oh, and Avril also fought with Lu Tianxing…”


    “Do you mean to say they fought?” Yang Anlong directly asked.


    “They didn’t fight.”


    The middle-aged man shook his head, “It was only Avril making moves. Lu Tianxing never retaliated. Later, Avril was held in Lu Tianxing’s arms, and after that, they parted ways. I was worried that Avril might have some tricks up her sleeve, so I continued watching her in secret and came to report to you this morning.”


    After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Yang Anlong didn’t immediately respond. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, furrowing his brows, pondering the true nature of the rtionship between Lu Tianxing and Avril.


    It’s well-known that the Holy Daughter of the Holy See is always noble, with a status second only to the Pope. Furthermore, the primary reason for selecting a Holy Daughter is to serve God, forbidding any intimate contact with men. Avril’s purpose ining to China this time was to kill Lu Tianxing, elevate her influence within the Holy See, and provoke Old Sir Lu into a drastic confrontation with the Holy See, ensuring mutual destruction, while she secretly reaps the benefits.


    Yang Anlong trusted that Avril hadn’t deceived him in this regard. Her ambition was truly evident, and her desire to kill Lu Tianxing didn’t seem feigned. Yet, the Holy See doesn’t explicitly prohibit the Holy Daughter from having improper rtions with men; otherwise, she would be stripped of her title and executed by burning.


    Since Avril harbors ambition, she should know the consequences of intimate rtions with a man. However, now that she embraced Lu Tianxing, Yang Anlong couldn’t help but be a bit suspicious. Could Avril and Lu Tianxing have known each other before? Could something have happened between them? If that’s truly the case, he would need to tread carefully in his cooperation with Avril, as women are emotional and might switch sides under the right circumstances.


    With this in mind, a sh of insight crossed Yang Anlong’s eyes. He suppressed his thoughts and calmly said, “I understand this matter now. You may leave. Remember, this must not be leaked to anyone. Understood?”


    “Yes, Family Head, I take my leave.”


    With a respectful bow, the middle-aged man turned and left.


    Sitting on the sofa, Yang Anlong wasn’t as angry as he had imagined. Instead, he focused on pondering the real rtionship between Lu Tianxing and Avril. Failing to untangle this thread could result in the Yang Family being betrayed by Avril.


    While Yang Anlong pondered the dynamics between Lu Tianxing and Avril, in a chapel named Maria in Beijing.


    Avril was icily gazing at a man in his thirties before her, exuding an air of elegance. Yet, her eyes carried a chilling intent to kill, emitting an aura that made it evident her mood was anything but pleasant.


    The man seemed as though he hadn’t noticed the frost on Avril’s face, maintaining a faint smile from start to finish. His every gesture exuded a noble demeanor, as if he came from an ancient aristocracy.


    This man was none other than the leader of the Holy Mountain this time, the God of the Sea, Poseidon.


    “Poseidon, what are you doing here? It seems like our Church and your Holy Mountain have nothing to do with each other,” Avril said coldly.


    She harbored no goodwill towards the Holy Mountain. In a past encounter with the Dark Council, she could have wiped out one of their branches, but the people from the Holy Mountain foolishly interfered. Strangely, the Church seemed indifferent to this, fueling Avril’s resentment towards the Holy Mountain.


    Though the Church and the Holy Mountain usually kept to themselves, in Avril’s heart, the Holy Mountain was the enemy. Naturally, there was no need to be courteous to an enemy.


    Poseidon’s expression remained unchanged in the face of Avril’s cold attitude. He continued to wear his faint smile throughout. “Holy Daughter, your words sound a bit too distant. This time I’vee to seek your cooperation. Are you nning to treat your future partner like this?”


    A sarcastic smile appeared on Avril’s face as she heard Poseidon’s words. She replied coldly, “Cooperation? I can’t imagine any possibility of cooperation between us and your Holy Mountain.”


    “But of course there is.”


    Poseidon spoke with a smile, “Holy Daughter, you’vee to Beijing probably for the Judge, and our Holy Mountain also targets the Judge. I think we can join forces and deal with him together. Holy Daughter, what do you think?”


    “I do not need any partners,” Avril replied icily. She could coborate with anyone, but never with those from the Holy Mountain.


    In the Western World, people from the Holy Mountain were nothing short of madmen,plete lunatics. Cooperating with them would only lead to disaster. More importantly, the fact that the Holy Mountain was now actively seeking her cooperation was certainly suspicious.


    “Holy Daughter, don’t be so quick to refuse.”


    Poseidon said calmly, “Holy Daughter, do you really believe you can kill the Judge?”


    “Do you think I can’t?”


    “I think you can’t.”


    Poseidon spoke slowly, disregarding the cold fury on Avril’s face, “Holy Daughter, do you really think the Judge is so easy to kill? The Yang Family and the Tang Family in China, which one of these families isn’t immensely powerful, yet which dares to act recklessly against the Judge? Is it really the fear of the Lu Family? The Lu Family merely has Lu Tiankuang, but to kill a peak ofte-stage mythical power isn’t entirely impossible. So why haven’t they acted yet? Do you truly believe the Judge has so little power around him?”


    Poseidon paused for a moment before continuing, “Moreover, Holy Daughter, I think you should be very aware of how terrifying Lu Tianxing’s strength is! Other than ate-stage mythical power, who can handle him? Once he escapes and returns stronger, think of the consequences. I’m sure you understand them better than I do.”


    As Poseidon spoke, Avril’s expression became uncertain. She knew very well how terrifying Lu Tianxing’s strength was. She was a middle-stage mythical superpower user, otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared to face Lu Tianxing alonest night.


    But the events of the previous night left her with an indelible memory. Her strength against Lu Tianxing felt like a child with a toy gun facing a fully armed giant,pletely powerless, giving her an unprecedented sense of helplessness.


    Especially when Lu Tianxing embraced her, she felt as though all her strength had been bound, leaving her powerless, and she could only be at another’s mercy. If they failed to eliminate Lu Tianxing this time and he returned with a vengeance, Avril believed that neither the Holy Mountain nor the Church would have many, if any, capable of resisting Lu Tianxing.


    Deep in thought, yet Avril’s face showed no change. She spoke lightly, “As the saying goes in China, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Poseidon, I suspect that youring to me for cooperation isn’t just about killing Lu Tianxing.”


    “Indeed, after we kill the Judge, I want the Four Symbols Ring in his possession,” Poseidon said inly.
