Beauty Chairwoman's Bodyguard Expert

"Either we leave Beijing now and hide our identities forever, severing all ties with our respective forces, or, if Lu Tianxing’s power breaks through to the late stage of Mythical, we won’t be able to escape when he decides to settle scores with the major forces; we will certainly face death."

"The last option is to appear willingly, reveal our identities, submit to Lu Tianxing, and join his force, the Yama Palace. However, as far as I know, anyone who joins Yama Palace has to take a poison, placing their life and death entirely in the hands of the opposite party, who could destroy us or make us wish we were dead with just a thought."

After Vishnu’s words fell, the entire room plunged into silence; no one spoke, only the sound of each other’s breathing echoed within the room.

At this moment, the expressions on both Raphael and Garcia’s faces became increasingly grim and uncertain, following Vishnu’s remarks.

Vishnu’s three options are indeed the best available right now, but each has its own fatal flaw. Joining forces to deal with Lu Tianxing might sound easy, but if it were any other martial artist at the middle stage of Mythical, or even someone who just entered the late stage of Mythical, the three of them together could easily leave the opponent with no chance to fight back, let alone bury them.

But when facing Lu Tianxing, even if the three of them join forces, Raphael and Garcia don’t have much confidence, not because of anything else, but due to Lu Tianxing’s enigmatic cultivation technique. If the three could kill Lu Tianxing, that would naturally be ideal.

But if they fail to kill him and instead allow Lu Tianxing to leverage their pressure to break through to the late stage of Mythical, they would undeniably be dead. Although this scenario seems bizarre and unbelievable, they can’t help but consider it seriously.

The second option is indeed good, but they want to hide their identities - would their forces agree? Would their enemies agree?

As top experts and controllers of their respective forces, they haven’t made enemies in the past. It’s just that those people fear their forces and don’t dare do anything to them. However, once they leave, without the protection of their forces, they might live their lives constantly hunted down, never finding peace.

Though the late stage of Mythical is called invincible, it doesn’t mean martial artists at the late stage are immortal.

As for the third choice, it only briefly circled in the minds of Garcia and Raphael before disappearing without a trace. They are masters in the late stage of Mythical, holding high positions everywhere. To submit to Lu Tianxing, having their life and death under his control, would be worse than death – it’s impossible to accept.

"Raphael, tell us what we should do next," Garcia took a deep breath, looking solemnly at Raphael with his azure blue eyes.

Vishnu didn’t speak but also looked at Raphael, awaiting his answer.

Under their gaze, Raphael didn’t immediately reply but fell into deep thought, finally speaking slowly after a while, "I don’t have any concrete plans now; the first two paths provide no benefit to us. The last path, if you’re willing to abandon the dignity of a strong person, perhaps we can ask Lu Tianxing to spare us...."

"Impossible."

Before Raphael could finish his sentence, Vishnu couldn’t help but interrupt, "How could I, a dignified late stage mythical master, submit to a middle stage one? If word got out, I’d be the laughingstock, losing all face."

After all, Vishnu is one of the three major deities of Brahman, with an esteemed position, able to command anything within Brahman. To hand his fate to another, allowing them complete control, is utterly unthinkable—absolutely impossible.

Garcia remained silent, but her displeasure with Raphael’s answer was evident from the change in her expression.

"Too ashamed to accept?"

Raphael wasn’t annoyed at Vishnu’s interruption; he continued calmly, "If we don’t wish to live constantly hunted, only one path remains: stay in Beijing, wait for an opportunity, and eliminate Lu Tianxing."

Pausing here briefly, Raphael resumed, "Of course, that path allows for numerous shifts, and we can change our choices at any moment."

"How do we change?"

"If Tang Qingyun succeeds in detaining the people sent by the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng, and manages to kill Lu Tianxing, we can relax and do nothing. But if Tang Qingyun fails and Lu Tianxing uses this crisis to break through to the late stage of Mythical...."

"If Lu Tianxing breaks through to the late stage of Mythical, what then? Should we really submit to him?" Garcia sternly asked.

"Of course not."

Raphael said lightly, "If Lu Tianxing does breakthrough, but the situation remains favorable to us, we’ll immediately strike him down with lightning speed, then swiftly withdraw from China. If the situation turns against us, we can choose to retreat quietly, leave China, and detach from our forces...."

"Detach from forces?"

Vishnu asked in a somber tone, "Raphael, are you not aware of the consequences we face upon detachment? Not to mention whether our forces would let us go, do you think our enemies will spare us?"

"I know they wouldn’t spare us, so before detaching, we need to find a stronger force to back us, so those with ulterior motives are deterred from rash actions."

At this point, Raphael wore a confident smirk.

"Deter those with ulterior motives, do you think there’s a force daring to confront the American Superman Team, the Church, and Brahman," Garcia frowned.

"Certainly."

Raphael’s smile grew more self-assured, "There may not be many willing to challenge the Church, but exceptions exist, like the Morgan Family."
