<h4>Chapter 1619: Chapter 1612: The Starving Ghost’s Proposal</h4>


    Looking at Dio’s back, Poseidon spoke up at this moment: "Holy Daughter, aren’t you being a bit too cautious? The Judge is human, not a god. Even if he knows we’re plotting against him, he might not think we’ll make a move on him tonight—aren’t you being too cautious?"


    "Poseidon, do you really think Lu Tianxing is a fool? Maybe this is a trap set by Lu Tianxing, waiting for us to walk into it. If we make a move, we might fall right into his n."


    Avril slowly let out a breath, her face carrying an expression of inexhaustible solemnity.


    Upon hearing Avril’s words, Poseidon said with a light smile, "Holy Daughter, you’re still too cautious. Regardless, we need to give it a try. Besides, didn’t Dio say their people would make a move? Why don’t we let him try and see if it’s a trap? After all, it’s not our people who are going to die in the end—what do you say, Holy Daughter?"


    "Poseidon, are you trying to kill two birds with one stone?"


    "No, no, Holy Daughter, how can this be considered killing two birds with one stone? I’m merely agreeing with Dio’s n, nothing else. If you have no objections, Holy Daughter, I’ll take my leave. I want to go watch the show."


    With these words, a noble smile appeared on Poseidon’s face as he turned and followed Dio out.


    Watching the backs of Poseidon and Dio, Avril’s expression changed slightly, but she ultimately followed Poseidon outside with a sense of helplessness.


    After the confrontation with Lu Tianxingst night, she had aplete understanding of his strength. Neither the Church nor the Yang Family alone could deal with Lu Tianxing; they might end up losing more than they gain.


    Therefore, to target Lu Tianxing now requires coboration with the Holy Mountain and the American Superhero Team. Even though she knows Lu Tianxing is plotting something, she is helpless because she must go. If she doesn’t, it would be akin to tearing apart the alliance, which would be extremely disadvantageous for her.


    Just as Avril and the others were heading over, Lu Tianxing was leisurely sitting in the hall of the Sky Dragon Club. Beside him were Po Jun, Tan Lang, and Starving Ghost, all sipping wine casually, showing no sign of tension despite the impending crisis—almost as if they were tourists in Beijing.


    "Boss, do you think Avril wille here to trouble us?" Starving Ghost asked, scanning the surroundings after a sip of wine.


    "Avril is very cautious and definitely won’te looking for trouble, because she won’t act without absolute certainty." Lu Tianxing smiled as he spoke.


    After hearing this, Starving Ghost was somewhat confused: "Boss, if you say Avril won’t act, then why did you have use to the Sky Dragon Club?"


    Lu Tianxing smiled and said, "Though Avril won’t act, don’t forget there’s the American Superhero Team and the Holy Mountain people. They will inevitably team up against me. This time the leader of the American Superhero Team is Dio, a guy with rocks in his head, also a thorough racist, a typical white supremacist. He definitely won’t allow any person of color to stroll before him without a reaction."


    "So, even if Avril doesn’t want to trouble me, Dio surely will. The more Avril tries to stop him, the more Dio will want to kill me, and naturally, they’lle to the Sky Dragon Club. Besides, they are in the dark and we are in the light; we must assess their strength first. The best method is to eliminate the leader of one faction, which will greatly reduce our pressure."


    With that, Lu Tianxing smiled and said, "If they don’te, then we’ll just treat it as a night out for supper and rxation for us brothers."


    "Rx, rx, tsk tsk, I heard this Sky Dragon Club has a lot of pretty girls. We shouldn’t have let them all leave."


    Starving Ghost had a look of regret and then seemed to recall something, looking at Lu Tianxing with a sly smile: "Boss, there’s actually a question I’ve been holding in for a long time. Can you give me an answer?"


    "What’s the matter?" Lu Tianxing nced at Starving Ghost, and asked instinctively.


    Starving Ghost immediately said, after hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, "Boss, to be honest, I canpletely understand the American Superhero Team and Holy Mountain people causing you trouble; after all, you did kill their people, and getting revenge is expected. But why does this chick Avril keep causing you problems too?"


    "Boss, you don’t know; more than a year ago, after you returned to China, this chick Avril went crazy and started attacking our Netherworld Mercenary Corps, as if we were her biggest enemies. If we hadn’t hidden well and had the Dark Council constantly tripping her up, we would’ve been half-crippled by Avril’s attacks."


    "Boss,e clean with your brothers, what did you do to Avril that made her chase us like we did something terribly wrong? As for killing the Holy Son of the Church, that’s just recent; we’re talking about over a year ago."


    As soon as Starving Ghost finished speaking, Tan Lang and Po Jun also instinctively perked up, waiting for Lu Tianxing’s answer. During that time, Avril practically went mad targeting the Netherworld Mercenary Corps. If it weren’t for them executing tasks with masks and having Angel Intelligence Station’s support, they would’ve been uprooted by Avril’s madness long ago.


    What happened during that time is their biggest curiosity, but exactly why is what they could never figure out. Now, hearing Starving Ghost ask, of course, they want to listen closely.


    Seeing the intense curiosity on the faces of Starving Ghost and the others, Lu Tianxing inwardly chuckled bitterly. How is he supposed to answer this? Say he mistook Avril for a bar girl, bedded her, took Avril’s virginity, and considered her a prostitute in the end?


    "How would I know? Maybe it’s because she thinks I’m handsome, so she fell in love at first sight and then grew to hate me. Who knows? A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. How would I know she’d fixate on me?" Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes and replied.


    "Boss, my gut tells me you’re lying. From what I know, there are only three reasons a woman would hate you to the bone. First, you killed her entire family; but this isn’t possible because Avril is an orphan, with no family whatsoever—not valid. Second, you killed her favorite man; this is also impossible because Angel Intelligence Station found out that Avril is alone, with no favorite man, and the Holy Daughter of the Holy See isn’t allowed to marry. Avril is ambitious and wouldn’t sabotage herself like that. So there’s only one exnation left."


    Starving Ghost looked at Lu Tianxing seriously and said decisively, "Boss, you must have abandoned Avril after seducing her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be fixated on us. We have no dealings or enmity with her, right Boss?"


    Lu Tianxing, hearing Starving Ghost’s words, replied exasperatedly, "You’re overthinking. Do you think I’m that kind of person?"


    "Boss, I don’t think I need toment; you can tell from your wives. Don’t you agree, Po Jun?"


    Po Jun nced at Starving Ghost, ignored his words, and said, "Boss, what if Avril intervenes this time? We..."


    Po Jun hadn’t finished speaking when Starving Ghost interrupted, "Po Jun, you’re overthinking. What do you mean ’what if’; you forget, Avril and boss are old acquaintances. Maybe it’s love turned to hate; I think Avril poses no real threat this time. Boss, I strongly suggest you demonstrate the charm that won over your wives and conquer Avril. Isn’t there a saying: the way to conquer a woman is to... conquer her? If once doesn’t work, try a second time."


    "If you’re reluctant, why not let Po Jun, Tan Lang, and I get some knockout drugs from Manman, help you tie Avril up, and have you conquer her in bed? Then we’d have one less opponent; why not enjoy it!"


    Upon hearing Starving Ghost’s words, Lu Tianxing felt speechless. He’d like to conquer Avril, but the key is courage. Avril has a Late Stage Mythical level expert hidden by her side; if he tried anything on Avril, he’d get beaten up instantly. He doesn’t want to die young.


    ’Die under a peony bloom, still flirtatious as a ghost’—this saying is pure boasting; nobody would abandon an entire forest for a woman.


    "Moreover, Boss, don’t you think this is a rare opportunity? Impossible encounters! While conquering the chick Avril, make sure your shots are godlike, perhaps have her bear you a son. Later, we’ll raise him well, you boost your power, and we march to Vatican City, boot the old Pope aside, and make your son Pope. It’d be quite prestigious; our nephew is the Pope, and we’re the Pope’s godfathers. Isn’t that remarkably face-saving? Po Jun, what do you think of my proposal?"


    Starving Ghost focused on Po Jun, eyes gleaming with eagerness, wishing his n could be enacted at once.
