Chapter 2095 - 2068: Huang Family’s Plea for Help
"Moreover, as the old saying goes, only the thief can keep watch for a thousand days; there’s no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days. I can certainly be on guard against them all the time, but how long do you think I can keep that up? Eventually, I’ll let my guard down, and when I do, it might just be the day I meet my end. So, I have to take the risk to draw them all out and eliminate them in one strike."
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Yafei opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but ultimately she chose not to speak.
Because Lu Tianxing was not even a little bit wrong—what’s truly terrifying in this world are not the enemies you can see, but those hidden in the shadows. They are constantly watching you, baring their fangs and seeking an opportunity to strike. Once they attack, it would be the moment you have nowhere to rest in death, offering no chance for resistance. The only path before you would be—a dead end.
"Lu Tianxing, are you confident in dealing with them?"
It was at this moment that Xue Bing, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke: "Should I ask Group Leader Sima to help you, mobilize the Yanhuang Group’s intelligence network to find them all for us, and strike first?"
"It’s useless."
After hearing Xue Bing’s suggestion, Lu Tianxing lightly shook his head and said: "Since the opponents dared to come to Beijing to trouble me, it indicates they are confident the Yanhuang Group cannot find them. More importantly, they know that Beijing is the Emperor’s territory, so they certainly wouldn’t make a big scene entering China. They may just come with a few people, and finding them among millions in Beijing is like finding a needle in a haystack. Even if the Yanhuang Group is powerful, it’s hardly possible to find them, and it would alarm them instead."
"Moreover, time is running out for us. We don’t have much time to look for them, nor is it necessary."
"Tianxing, what should we do now?" Bai Zhiqing couldn’t help but ask at this moment.
"Wait and see, responding to all changes without change."
Lu Tianxing let out a heavy sigh. Although he is visible now, those vipers are hidden in the dark. But as long as he stays still and doesn’t expose any flaws, those vipers won’t attack him. For now, he is very safe and doesn’t need to worry about being targeted.
"Ring ring..."
Just then, the melodious ringtone of a phone suddenly rang from the mobile phone placed next to Lu Tianxing.
After hearing the ringtone, everyone’s eyes involuntarily turned towards Lu Tianxing.
Lu Tianxing picked up the phone at once, and upon seeing the caller ID, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"What’s wrong? Whose call is it?" Bai Zhiqing was the first to speak.
"It’s a call from Huang Feiyu." Lu Tianxing let out a small breath, said nothing more, and quickly answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Huang Feiyu’s voice came through: "Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Huang, is there something happening that made you call me suddenly?" Lu Tianxing asked blandly.
"Mr. Lu, this time I am calling to ask for your help."
Huang Feiyu’s voice carried a solemnity that could not be hidden as it reached Lu Tianxing’s ear.
"Help?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing slightly frowned: "What’s the matter, what exactly happened?"
"This morning, our Huang Family was attacked. Three mysterious experts appeared in our family; they broke into the Huang Family."
Huang Feiyu’s voice carried with it an undeniable gravity as he slowly exhaled: "The skill of these three people is terrifying; my men were powerless against them, suppressed without a chance to fight back. Fortunately, they didn’t intend to kill, and my men only suffered minor injuries. But before leaving, they left us a message to hand over all the Huang Family’s power within three days, or they will leave no survivors in the Huang Family."
Huang Feiyu’s voice carried a trace of undeniable killing intent, yet it also revealed a strong sense of helplessness. The opponents’ power is just too formidable and without scruples, boldly breaking into the Huang Family. Yet no one in the Huang Family could stop them.
More significantly, only three people appeared, yet these three were enough to render the Huang Family helpless. Even though the Huang Family has rapidly expanded in Xiangjiang, recruiting several middle-stage mythical experts, these powerful recruits were like ants to the opponents, easily crushed.
Had the three not just given the Huang Family an ultimatum today without intent to destroy, the Huang Family might have become history by now.
After hearing Huang Feiyu’s words, Lu Tianxing’s brow furrowed, forming a river character, locked in deep thought. Although Huang Feiyu didn’t reveal much, Lu Tianxing sensed something particularly tricky about it. He absolutely couldn’t believe those who showed up at the Huang Family were incidental, and the timing seemed far too coincidental.
Moreover, Huang Feiyu’s account revealed another clue: the opponents have enough power to uproot the Huang Family, yet they chose not to, instead giving the Huang Family three days to yield their power, which raised suspicions about hidden motives.
Lu Tianxing’s brows furrowed, showing a hint of solemnity, before speaking: "Mr. Huang, do you know who they are? Or has the Huang Family offended anyone before?"
"Not sure, their identity is extremely mysterious. Since appearing at the Huang Family, they’ve been wrapped in black robes, making it impossible to see their features, and their techniques are so varied that no one could deduce their identity from them."
With this, Huang Feiyu sighed deeply: "As for enemies of the Huang Family, it’s almost impossible. If they truly had a grudge against us, relying solely on three people to break into the Huang Family, they wouldn’t wait until now to act— they could have destroyed us long ago when our strength was much weaker."
"Moreover, if they were enemies of the Huang Family, they wouldn’t have shown mercy but would have exterminated us completely. Why leave us and give us three days to consider?"
