Chapter 75: Chapter 70: Counterattack

“Mr. Gemini, everyone faces different challenges upon entering the Holy Land, but they all follow a basic principle: head towards the direction of the light. The further you go, the more you experience, and the more you gain. Additionally, if you encounter danger, swiftly find a safe spot to use the Gate of Truth to leave. I don’t have much experience, but this should be accurate,” Estella said. She had visited the Holy Land twice, but had always been an observer, unable to feel it firsthand. Both of her brothers had emphasized these words.

Estella provided some descriptions, but given that she had little involvement herself, she dared not give random advice, after all, everyone’s situation is different,.

For Li Xin, the wealth of reliable knowledge was incredibly valuable. The two chatted for a while and even attempted to tap the stars of Taurus and Cancer, but got no reaction. When the stars began to flicker, they bid farewell and left the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc.

As soon as the two left, Cancer’s seat began to sparkle, and Christian appeared proudly in the seat.

He posed for three seconds, then looked at the empty Round Table Conference…

Five minutes later, ???

Who exactly is knocking hard at such a late hour, not sleeping, coming in to find no one?

Looking at the stars above, Christian initially considered tapping the other three individuals, but then thought, who is he? How could he actively seek out others, it’s always others who seek him!

If he’s guessed correctly, Miss Aries is calling for him.

As he thought about it, Christian’s lips involuntarily curled up, his posture straightened, and in future even Miss Aries must call him thrice before he agrees. After a while, he felt a little sore in the waist, and then the stars started to shake…

Cantona also naturally felt the call from the Round Table Conference, but he didn’t have time to respond as he was currently fleeing for his life.

He initially thought hiding deep in Wanku City would be very safe, but the assassination came. It was only due to his rich experience and extreme vigilance that he narrowly escaped. The assassination squad was formidable, and Cantona decisively killed his opponent to escape, but the wound tore open again, and the crisis lingering around him indicated that danger still surrounded him. This instinct, cultivated from years of living on the edge, was highly reliable.

This matter has significant issues. He anticipated that young knight wouldn’t be simple, given that at such an age he already understood the Soul-Draining Heart, certainly a blend of talent and background were indispensable. However, now it seems bigger than he imagined; the opponent not only uncovered his identity but also traced his hiding place. Having mingled in the travel group world for many years, Cantona knew this person was someone with reach beyond ordinary. He couldn’t harbor any luck now; he must flee to the next safe house.

Luck was on his side initially; he was just preparing to sleep when the Divine Relic began to tremble, emitting knocking sounds, evidently the call from the Round Table Conference, during his waking state, but just as he was about to respond, he sensed a foreign aura, only then realizing.

At this moment, there was certainly no dare to go. Entering the Round Table Conference was not in the physical form, unlike using the Gate of Truth, which are two different states. The mind enters, while the physical body becomes defenseless state. Try it when you’re not planning to live.

Cantona’s chest had been soaked with blood, yet his body swiftly moved through the dim Underground City, constantly twisting, constantly shaking off, he must erase that lingering sense of tracking before going to the safe house, otherwise the next assassination will be more fatal.

…

Li Long United Kingdom, Celestial Capital, Zhao Family Manor.

Zhao Qing could feel the anger from his father in the living room, even his most cherished Dragon Pattern Bottle was smashed, something Zhao Qing would be scolded for just touching in the past. Recently, Zhao Xun had grown increasingly brutal.

Within the Zhao Family, Zhao Xun was the king, others were vassals, serving him.

This city hall judgment caused the Zhao Family to lose both face and substance, while the bystanders were ignorant, the factions within the city hall were clear on this matter, affecting the family’s subsequent plans significantly, especially how the proud Zhao Xun could bear it. Two servants who merely glanced at him were carried out half dead, their bloodstains yet to be wiped clean off the floor, meanwhile the maid was tremblingly performing other services while kneeling.

This Mayor’s term is nearing its end, Zhao Xun prepared with dual strategy: if Ambolat understands, he might support his re-election. This fence sitter has yet to take a stand; if unable, he could simply replace him, Ambolat’s weaknesses were already in hand, offering both advance and retreat options.

Controlling the Mayor is the first step, on this foundation, supporting the second step of the plan becomes twice as effective. However, the Mayor’s matter encountered issues, the channels had problems, and Zhao Qing, this waste, still hasn’t secured the Black Rose Chairman—couldn’t even handle a slip of a girl! If it wasn’t for having some usefulness, really wanting to strangle and retrain anew.

The Church certainly wouldn’t let things slide this way; Luo Jin is a mad dog, and he himself cannot act rashly comparing, during this period must endure, await the opportunity for counterattack.

Endurance is the essential criterion for success.

The vented Zhao Xun contently patted the maid’s head, only then did she leave in fear, eyes looking towards Zhao Qing, the ostentatious Zhao Qing in the Canon Law School promptly lowered his head.

“The Four Nations Challenge I have already arranged; in Li Long, nothing captures hearts better than victory and honor, have you managed Luo Xue? ” Zhao Xun asked pleasantly.

Zhao Qing understood this was the precursor of his father’s eruption; the more amiable, the more suppressing the wrath. He had to answer carefully.

“Count, still in the process of strategizing, likely Locknan advised her; she harbors a great deal of caution towards me. Generally, with women, first securing the body would be effective, but for Luo Xue it would only be counterproductive, I fear using some strong measures might affect Your plan, which would be a loss.” Zhao Qing stated respectfully.

“Humph, can’t even handle a woman, waste,” Zhao Xun showed contempt.

After pondering for a while, he realized Zhao Qing’s judgment was correct; securing Locknan was more crucial, he was currently neutral, unnecessary to corner him to opposition, once completed the plan, dealing with them one by one becomes easy.

“Saint’s Grace, Iron Blood, and Tess’s group did not send their full forces. Your task is to secure the position as Black Rose’s Chair and that damn championship; without achieving, I wouldn’t mind birthing another.” Zhao Xun announced.

“Count please don’t get angry, bad for health if hurt the body. Luo Xue is indifferent, uninterested in becoming Chair but…but,” Zhao Qing showed difficulty.

“But what? Speak, don’t stutter.”

“Luo Jin meddled, he is now the Grand Wind Discipline Officer, and arranged a troublemaker into Black Rose to monitor me. I suspect they’re intentionally causing trouble due to suspicion,” Zhao Qing explained, “Moreover that Lu Shuai, related to Luthor, is also present, this person is a waste, yet identity easily implants topic ferment, always feels calculative, seems none on Your side uncovered, thus seeking breakthrough from me since he is the Grand Wind Discipline Officer, mastering this power. In fact, setting a trap waiting for me to act.”

Zhao Xun’s mood had completely calmed down, he had an ear inside the Canon Law School; this kid indeed possessed some vision, not achieving but at least didn’t spoil: “What’s your plan?”

“I intend to target his entourage.” Zhao Qing lowered his voice, “On one hand, to mess up their mindset, on another, as a warning.”

Zhao Xun smirked, laughed aloud, “Go ahead. In Celestial Capital, it’s far from time for a minion to be rampant!”
