<h4>Chapter 1689: Chapter 1682: Calling Angel</h4>


    It wasn’t until sunset that Lu Tianxing left Lin Yafei’s presidential suite, exited the Wangfujing Hotel, and walked out the main entrance. Gazing at the fiery clouds spreading across the sky, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag to calm his mind.


    Lu Tianxing vowed that henceforth, when alone with Lin Yafei, he would definitely keep his instincts in check. Otherwise, given Lin Yafei’s wild ways, he felt he was bound to get into trouble sooner orter. This woman was just too wild; anyone else would have been overwhelmed.


    Yet, recalling that scene in the hotel just moments ago, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but sh a brilliant smile. Lin Yafei was indeed a bewitching enchantress; her wild antics gave him an unprecedented thrill, and even now, reflecting on it made him shiver with excitement—it was so damn exhrating.


    Taking another deep breath, Lu Tianxing finished his cigarette, headed to the parking lot, and drove away from the Wangfujing Hotel. It was time to check on that little vixen Avril.


    At this moment, Lin Yafei was draped in a white bathrobe, exuding an intense allure, holding a tall ss in her hand. The red wine in the ss was as crimson as blood. Watching the direction in which Lu Tianxing disappeared, she slowly brought the wine to her lips, smiled, and said, "Tianxing, don’t worry. I can assure you, not a single person in the Sun Family will escape. I’ll do as you said, make them restless, and let them perish in endless fear."


    As she spoke, a cold, bloodthirsty smile flickered in Lin Yafei’s eyes, and her beautiful eyes carried a hint of iciness,pletely devoid of the tenderness she had when with Lu Tianxing. For her man, she would be a demon without any regrets.


    After driving away from the Wangfujing Hotel, Lu Tianxing didn’t linger outside but drove straight back to the Han Family Hotel.


    More than forty minutester, Lu Tianxing returned to the Han Family Hotel, parked his car in the underground lot, and without hesitation, took the elevator up.


    When the elevator stopped on the top floor, Lu Tianxing walked straight out, heading towards the room. Without any dy, he took out his room card from his pocket, opened the door, and stepped inside.


    The room was empty, not a soul in sight. The living room was spotless, as if no one had ever lived there, cleaned meticulously by the service staff.


    Lu Tianxing’s gaze swept the surroundings, his brow furrowing slightly.


    "Did Avril really leave? Could it be that what she said yesterday was a lie, or is she still in the bedroom?"


    Murmuring softly to himself, Lu Tianxing surveyed the surroundings, turned, and headed into the bedroom. Immediately, he heard the sound of sshing watering from the bathroom, causing his brow to furrow slightly. Without hesitation, he walked to the bathroom.


    "Whoosh!"


    The bathroom door wasn’t locked, and Lu Tianxing pushed it open.


    "Ah!"


    As the door opened, a piercing scream erupted in his ears. Standing in the bathroom, Avril quickly picked up a towel and wrapped it around herself, filled with panic.


    The shrill scream made Lu Tianxing frown instinctively. Looking at Avril, he said irritably, "What’s with the screaming? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before. Is it necessary for all this shouting?"


    Women truly are peculiar creatures in this world. Yesterday, everything that shouldn’t have happened, happened, and everything that should and shouldn’t have been seen, was seen entirely. Yet today, she’s acting shy again, leaving him speechless.


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Avril quickly snapped out of it and shouted, "Go to hell, just die!"


    To this, Lu Tianxing was utterly indifferent, casually replying, "I’ll live better than anyone else. Also, hurry up with your bath, I need to take one after you!"


    With that, Lu Tianxing stopped paying attention to Avril, and turned to walk out.


    "Bang!"


    With a dull thud, Lu Tianxing casually closed the door.


    Seeing the tightly shut door, a deeplyplex expression shed across Avril’s face. She sighed softly in her heart; she felt an uncertainty about how to face Lu Tianxing.


    Technically speaking, Lu Tianxing had forced her to do things she didn’t want multiple times, so she should be filled with hatred towards him. But for some reason, she couldn’t muster any hatred for him, which plunged Avril into perplexity. Ever since that incident two years ago, she had borne a deep grudge against Lu Tianxing, but now that he stood before her, she was confused and unsure of what to do.


    Especially this morning, after Lu Tianxing left the Han Family Hotel and removed the seal on her, she had the chance to leave the hotel immediately after he did; yet inexplicably, she chose to stay, and even she didn’t know why.


    Was it because Lu Tianxing promised to help her avenge, or was it something else entirely?


    After leaving the bedroom, Lu Tianxing headed straight to the living room, reclined on the sofa, and quietly stared at the ceiling. His trip to Beijing was merely to dismantle the scheme Avril had set for him and to ask Sima Lingyun’s master about the whereabouts of the Heavenly God. Having aplished these tasks, he felt there was no longer any reason to stay in Beijing, suggesting it was time to leave.


    "However, a few things need to be settled before leaving Beijing," he thought.


    Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, without any hesitation, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed Angel’s number directly.


    As soon as the call connected, before Lu Tianxing could speak, Angel’s sultry, slightly resentful voice came through: "Dear, you really have no heart at all. It’s been so long, and you still haven’t called me. Have you been captivated by that woman Avril and forgotten that you still have me, your old love?"


    Hearing Angel’s words, Lu Tianxing awkwardly rubbed his nose. It was true that he hadn’t called Angel for a while: "Angel, haven’t I been busytely? I..."


    Before Lu Tianxing could finish his sentence, Angel interrupted him: "Busy? Dear, do you think I don’t know? After the battle at the Great Wall, you took that woman Avril back to the hotel. Don’t tell me, you two spent time in a room doing all those things people love to gossip about; is that what you call being busy?"


    Angel’s voice took on a sarcastic tone, imitating Lu Tianxing: "Who was it who said, ’I don’t like Avril at all! That woman is nothing but trouble, and I don’t want to be hunted down by the Churchter!’ But then, turned around and took in Avril. Dear, you’re truly a heartbreaker, forgetting the old for the new..."


    "Stop, stop..."


    Lu Tianxing broke into a sweat. Why do all these girls love to say such things? Lin Yafei did it, and now Angel as well.


    "Angel, how’s it going with the Morgan Family recently? Have you seeded? Does the Ten-mile Soul-locking Fragrance I sent you work, or do you need me toe to Washington to help?" Lu Tianxing changed the subject.


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Angel’s voice grew serious: "No major issues; the Ten-mile Soul-locking Fragrance you gave me worked brilliantly. I’ve now seized most of the Morgan family’s power, with only a small portion resisting—hardly a threat. In a few more days, I’ll control the entire Morgan family. Oh, by the way, dear, I heard you recently transferred all the Netherworld Mercenary Corps people to China. What’s going on?"


    "Angel, you know I founded the Netherworld Mercenary Corps myself. These people are my brothers. My current status is unsuitable for staying in the mercenary corps, but they’re my brothers, and I’m still their leader. Before I leave, I have to secure a good future for them. So I discussed with Sima Lingyun to let the members join the Yanhuang Group, bing core members there, thus giving them a legitimate status in China." Lu Tianxing exined to Angel without hiding anything.


    "Hand them over to the Yanhuang Group?"


    Angel’s voice grew a bit grave: "Dear, have you really decided to do this?"


    "Yes, I’ve already decided."


    Lu Tianxing lit a cigarette for himself and spoke slowly: "I’ve offended too many people. This time, after crossing paths with Avril, I’ve thoroughly angered the Church, the Holy Mountain, and the American Superhero Team. They’ll never let the Netherworld Mercenary Corps go. Previously, we thrived in the Western World because the established powers didn’t see us as a threat, and with your Angel Intelligence Station constantly rying information, we were safe.


    But this time is different; we’ve truly triggered their nerves. They’ll show us no mercy. If we keep the Netherworld Mercenary Corps in the West, it’s akin to seeking death. Instead of that, why not go with the flow and repay Sima Lingyun’s kindness, while giving them a legitimate status and allowing them to lead normal lives like marrying and having children, thus ending their life of danger? This is probably thest thing I can do as their leader."


    After listening to Lu Tianxing, Angel sighed softly in her heart. She could tell that Lu Tianxing seemed tired of the life of danger and bloodshed.
