Tan Lang and Po Jun looked at Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing embracing each other and immediately retracted the feet they were about to step out with. They didn't proceed further but left the space for the two of them, spreading out in all directions, their eyes vigilantly surveying the surroundings to guard against the sudden appearance of the First Killer Silent Annihilation.

Lu Tianxing gently stroked Bai Zhiqing's hair and sighed softly, "Wife, why were you so foolish just now, why...?"

Before Lu Tianxing could finish speaking, Bai Zhiqing interrupted him, saying, "There's no reason. Because you are my man, if I can save you, I would not only kneel down but even trek over a mountain of knives and a sea of flames without regret, because once you used your shoulder to carry the sky for me. This time, I want to help you, even if there's just a slim hope, I won't give up."

Bai Zhiqing lifted her head, her eyes shining and looking directly at Lu Tianxing, her voice exceptionally resolute.

Hearing Bai Zhiqing's words, Lu Tianxing hugged her tighter; having a wife like her, what more could a husband wish for.

Bai Zhiqing leaned her head against Lu Tianxing's chest, listening to the strong and powerful heartbeat. Her previously tense heart suddenly calmed down, an unprecedented sense of security surged into her heart, like a ship finding a harbor to dock when caught in a storm.

"Ahem..."

Just then, a cough interrupted the tender moment between Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing. Tan Lang walked over somewhat awkwardly, "Boss, I know it's unethical to disrupt your private moment with sister-in-law now, but I have no choice. Little Bee just called to say that the American Superhero Team has been dispatched and is on its way here. We need to leave."

Hearing Tan Lang's words, Lu Tianxing nodded, saying, "Alright, we'll leave now. Tan Lang, how are the injuries on you and Asura? Do you need to come with me to the Bikeman Hotel to recuperate before leaving?"

Tan Lang shook his head and said, "Boss, we're fine. Just a few minor injuries, we'll be good with a couple of days of rest, we'll go directly to Little Bee's place."

"Alright, you should first go to Little Bee's place to heal. If you need anything, contact the Angel Intelligence Station directly. Also, notify the other members of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps to send two Judge's Marks to the Jerviev family and the Hell Ghost Mercenary Corps. I want them utterly annihilated."

A bloodthirsty look flashed in Lu Tianxing's eyes. Though he couldn't yet handle the Church and Holy Mountain, he could still extinguish these two forces.

"Boss, leave it to us. I promise that they will disappear completely from this world in a day, not leaving a single one," said Po Jun bloodthirstily.

"Hmm, keep it clean,"

Lu Tianxing nodded lightly, looking at Mu Qingchuan, he said, "Young Master Mu, I know you don't think much of me. It's okay, I sometimes don't think much of myself either. Words are inadequate to express gratitude. Whatever you need in the future, I, Lu Tianxing, will not refuse. Also, pass on to Sima Lingyun for me, if he has time, I want to meet his mentor Ji Xingyun."

"I will pass it on to Sima. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave,"

Mu Qingchuan nodded faintly, not saying much more, he turned directly, but seemed to remember something, turned back and said: "Oh, and Sima asked me to tell you that Jiangnan has been getting turbulent lately, be careful, think twice before doing anything, don't be impulsive, many of the Lu Family members are watching."

Lu Tianxing nodded, knowing what Sima Lingyun meant, he said faintly, "Thank Sima Lingyun for me, but help me tell him that some things I can choose not to do but some things I must do; if I don't, I fear I would regret it for my entire life, as I said before, if others do not offend me, I will not offend them."

Though Lu Tianxing's voice was calm, it made Mu Qingchuan's heart race upon hearing it, as if he could see a coming storm of bloodshed.

"I'll pass this message on to him, goodbye,"

Mu Qingchuan cupped his hand towards Lu Tianxing, and with a flash, quickly disappeared into the night.

Tan Lang and Po Jun, along with Starving Ghost and others did not linger either, they turned directly and left.

Lu Tianxing did not speak, merely watched quietly as Tan Lang and others departed. Life and death brothers need not say much, in your time of need, just tell me, and even from the ends of the earth, I would come to support you, be your backup, and advance and retreat together, never deserting you—that's what brotherhood of life and death is.

Watching Tan Lang and others leave, Lu Tianxing turned to Bai Zhiqing and said, "Wife, we should leave here now too!"

"Hmm,"

Bai Zhiqing nodded gently, looking at Lu Tianxing as if remembering something, said, "Lu Tianxing, you're still injured, shall I accompany you to the hospital now to bandage up?"

"No need, Bikeman Hotel has private doctors, we can go there, it's safer there,"

Lu Tianxing shook his head, rejecting Bai Zhiqing's proposal, because although the Holy Mountain had appeared, an even more formidable enemy had not yet emerged, he couldn't afford to relax at all.

"Alright, I'll listen to you,"

Bai Zhiqing thought for a moment, agreeing to Lu Tianxing's request, after all, they had just escaped danger, but couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be others wanting to kill them, going to Bikeman Hotel was relatively safer.

During this time, she could clearly sense the staff at Bikeman Hotel displaying a respect towards her that wasn't simply for the wealthy, but from the heart, a respect entirely brought about by Lu Tianxing.

Meanwhile, in the suburbs of HSD, stood a massive castle.

This was the Morgan Family's base, covering over 190 acres, with tennis courts, racecourses, hunts grounds, car racing tracks, among other various luxurious amenities. The decorations inside the castle were lavish and astonishing, the paintings on the walls priceless, undoubtedly top-tier collector's items outside, yet now displayed like mere decorations throughout the castle, giving anyone entering a sense of understated luxury.

Soft lighting illuminated the entire castle where numerous bodyguards patrolled back and forth, ensuring the castle was impenetrably guarded.

In one room within the castle, Angel stood wearing a black nightgown, holding a glass of red wine in her hand, staring out the window at the bright moonlight, her eyes cold, with no visible expression on her delicate face, cold as ice, exuding a chilling aura from head to toe, standing there motionless like a statue, not uttering a single word, seemingly waiting for something.
