Chapter 1968 - 1941: Seeking Wealth Amidst Danger
But as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Lu Tianxing seems to have offended countless forces this time, appearing to have no chance of recovery.
Yet everyone has forgotten how Lu Tianxing returned to China. After killing those people, Lu Tianxing was able to return to China smoothly, which shows just how terrifying his strength is.
If Lu Tianxing can get through this hurdle, he will definitely rise straight to the Nine Heavens, and if the Qiu Family were to closely ally with Lu Tianxing at this moment, then the benefits of Lu Tianxing’s ascension would be unimaginable.
Not to mention the enigmatic attitude between Lu Tianxing and Qiu Yingrong. With this relationship, the Qiu Family might not only be among the top families in China but also become one of the world’s most renowned families. Even after Lu Tianxing’s century long lifespan, the Qiu Family would remain one of the top families both in China and the world.
Fortune favors the bold!
At this moment, the Qiu Family has truly embodied the essence of this phrase.
"Become one of China’s top families?"
Listening to Qiu Tianrui’s bold words, Lu Tianxing squinted his eyes, sizing up Qiu Tianrui, his thoughts impenetrable.
After a long pause, Lu Tianxing finally spoke again, "Young Master Qiu, ambition is good, but don’t you want to know which forces I faced in Eagle Country this time?"
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Qiu Tianrui was slightly taken aback, wanting to speak but unsure how to proceed. Although he investigated that Lu Tianxing had stirred up a bloody storm in Eagle Country and killed many people, he didn’t know exactly which forces Lu Tianxing had offended.
After all, while the Qiu Family is a big family on Qin Island, in China, they are insignificant, let alone extending their influence overseas.
Watching Qiu Tianrui’s changing expression, Lu Tianxing’s lips curled slightly as he slowly began to speak, "This time, I killed quite a few people in Eagle Country. The captain of the American Superman Team’s first squad, Nelson, died at my hands. Before he died, I tortured him, watching as he slowly took his last breath in front of me. As for Brahman’s Shiva, I destroyed his Dantian, crippled his limbs; he died under my hand. And as for the forces in Eagle Country that besieged me, they all died. Just a few days ago, they even formed an Anti-Lu Alliance to uproot me, aiming to leave me with no place to bury my body. Do you know how terrifying these forces are when united? They could easily overthrow any family in China."
Listening to Lu Tianxing’s calm words, Qiu Tianrui’s pupils constricted. He knew Lu Tianxing had stirred up a bloody storm abroad and was aware of the crisis he faced. Otherwise, relying on Lu Tianxing’s strength, even if he couldn’t defeat those at the late stage of the mythical rank, he should still have escaped without being severely wounded and unconscious for several days.
He knew this and understood it, but Qiu Tianrui never imagined that things would turn out this way.
Lu Tianxing tortured Nelson of the American Superman Team to death, and even Shiva, one of Brahman’s three main gods, fell at Lu Tianxing’s hands.
It’s known that whether it’s the American Superman Team or Brahman, they are among the world’s most elite forces. Most people try hard not to offend them, but Lu Tianxing offended two of them simultaneously, and even tormented Nelson to death. This is akin to rubbing the American Superman Team’s face in the dirt. If the American Superman Team could swallow this humiliation, they would truly be like turtles.
Qiu Tianrui could almost predict that from now on, the American Superman Team would try all means to eliminate Lu Tianxing, and they would never stop until he’s dead.
Of course, as for Brahman, Shiva is one among Brahman’s three main gods—Fantian, Vishnu, and Shiva. Now that Shiva has died at Lu Tianxing’s hands, Brahman surely won’t just let it go.
Not to mention the other forces that formed the Anti-Lu Alliance. Although he isn’t clear about where these forces come from or how immense they are, Qiu Tianrui could imagine their daring to confront Lu Tianxing, especially after knowing Lu Tianxing killed Shiva and Nelson, still having the courage to form an alliance specifically against Lu Tianxing.
This point alone proves their power is undoubtedly formidable; if they were frightened easily, they would have prayed for Lu Tianxing not to trouble them, rather than daring to come together to trouble Lu Tianxing.
Moreover, there’s an essential point that when many ants bite, they can kill an elephant. Individually, these forces might not affect Lu Tianxing, but when combined to form a single unit, they are terrifyingly formidable. Now, Lu Tianxing has offended three mighty entities, and even staying in China is perilously dangerous.
Not to mention that in China, Lu Tianxing is surrounded by enemies everywhere. Now, he’s no longer walking a tightrope on a cliff but balancing on a straw on a ten-thousand-foot precipice. A gust of wind could blow the straw away, sending Lu Tianxing plummeting into the abyss, crashing into pieces, and even a greater force could snap the straw, with the same result of a fatal fall.
Crisis and opportunity coexist, but this time, the crisis Lu Tianxing faces is so enormous that it’s nearly impossible to see the light ahead.
Lu Tianxing did not speak but took a sip of his drink, then picked up his chopsticks to eat some meat before slowly speaking, "Young Master Qiu, do you still intend to seek fortune in the face of danger?"
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s question, Qiu Tianrui fell into silence, unsure of what to say. Previously, he suggested seeking fortune in danger because Lu Tianxing seemed perilous but manageable. Yet now, Lu Tianxing faces three massive entities; a slight misstep could lead to no remains. Continuing a collaboration with Lu Tianxing at this time certainly requires careful consideration; otherwise, before Lu Tianxing is wiped out, the Qiu Family might already vanish like smoke.
Lu Tianxing observed Qiu Tianrui’s silent demeanor without finding it odd. If Qiu Tianrui had outright agreed to collaborate with him, he would have questioned the sincerity of the collaboration.
Qiu Tianrui remained silent, and so did Lu Tianxing, leisurely eating his food, confident that as long as Qiu Tianrui wasn’t foolish, he would make the right decision.
Moreover, whether the Qiu Family collaborates with him or not makes little difference to him. Without relying on the Qiu Family, he remains Lu Tianxing, the third young master of the Lu Family, the leader of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps. Without Lu Tianxing, the Qiu Family faces just one outcome—extinction.
If Qiu Tianrui perceives this and chooses to follow him relentlessly, as long as he survives, the Qiu Family will be safe. If Qiu Tianrui opts for another path, that’s his choice. At least when the Qiu Family encounters danger, he will still intervene, albeit only saving Qiu Yingrong and Lingling, as he previously told Qiu Zhengfeng.
As for other members of the Qiu Family, saving them or not depends on his mood.
