Chapter 283: Investigate First

At that moment, Kuchiki Senya was strolling under the night sky with Lolita, unaware that this man and woman had already drawn Zhang Ping's grudge; if they had known, they probably wouldn't have been all that surprised.

Kuchiki Senya said, "We're heading to the Jianghu World of Sichuan in three days. Lolita, I'll leave this matter to you. If all goes well, we'll return as soon as possible."

"No problem." Lolita said, "Which faction are you visiting? I'll look into it first."

"These factions are all within Sichuan Province. Just go gather some intel—after all, we don't know the local situation right now." Kuchiki Senya shook his head. "In any case, keep a low profile."

"Don't worry." Lolita flashed a smile that could kill without paying for it. "This time, we can let those factions taste what it means to 'try to snatch a chicken and end up losing the rice.' If they want to screw us over, then we can make them cough up blood too."

"Not bad." Kuchiki Senya said, "But these factions are all mid-tier sects or martial arts schools within the Huaxia Jianghu World. Are you sure you can handle them?"

"Relax, your girlfriend is plenty strong, you know." Lolita said with a smile.

"You, always teasing me." Kuchiki Senya laughed helplessly. "This isn't the time for cute little quips—if some expert inside those factions notices us, that'd be bad news."

"Got it." Lolita agreed and said no more.

She walked shoulder to shoulder with Kuchiki Senya to the stairwell, then stopped.

Because Kuchiki Senya's phone rang.

He glanced at the number, then said, "I need to take an international call."

Kuchiki Senya didn't hang up directly; instead, he pressed the speakerphone button.

"Hello, Lord Apollo, good day. I just received news." This time, the voice that reached Kuchiki Senya's ears was actually Ge Ge Silin's.

"Ge Ge Silin?" Kuchiki Senya's expression instantly turned solemn. "Did something happen?"

"Yes, His Highness Kaestilin has run into trouble." Ge Ge Silin said.

Kuchiki Senya took a deep breath. "Don't panic. Tell me exactly what's going on."

"It's about Atlantis." Ge Ge Silin said, "Atlantis's golden bloodline has been cursed. His Highness Kaestilin hasn't been able to break through to the Ascension Phase these past few years, and now he feels exhausted and drowsy every day—the circulation rate of his body's power keeps slowing down. If he doesn't speed up his cultivation, he'll likely hit some bottleneck and be unable to break through..."

"I figured as much." Kuchiki Senya nodded. "I've met with Ge Ge Silin, but I didn't know about this layer of things."

"I hope you can help His Highness Kaestilin restore the Golden Family bloodline." Ge Ge Silin said, "I think, at this point, only you have such ability. As for the others…"

After a pause, Ge Ge Silin seemed to hesitate as well: "They won't do."

That was absolutely the truth!

"Alright, I understand. I'll figure something out." A sharp glint flashed through Kuchiki Senya's eyes. "You should know Kaestilin's condition very well. We're friends—I won't stand by and do nothing."

"Good, I'll head to Europe as soon as possible." Ge Ge Silin said and hung up.

"I'm going to Europe?" Hearing Kuchiki Senya say that, Lolita was slightly surprised. "Should I come with you?"

This little vixen had truly displayed her dream of conquering the world down to the finest detail.

Kuchiki Senya shook his head. "You stay behind in the West. I'll go alone."

This was a war—Kuchiki Senya had to bring Lolita along, after all… if the two of them split up, the enemy would very likely set their sights on Lolita.
