Chapter 1365

The dialogue between these two was practically like a quarrel; anyone who didn't know better would think they were old friends of many years.

"Strategist, we could actually discuss this properly." Ximen Wudi coughed twice, enduring the pain, and said, "I know you like me, but I am already married with children. Why must you be so cruel to me?"

"Married with children? Heh, you'd better survive leaving this room first." The Strategist cast a cold glance before turning and walking out.

However, the moment she took a step, a blade's gleam exploded out of thin air! It headed straight for her neck!

Clang!

The tip of the Nether Blade collided with the scabbard behind the Strategist!

A gust of wind surged up, blowing the hem of the Strategist's clothes!

"Your reaction is considered quite fast, but it still didn't achieve the expected result, Strategist," Ximen Wudi said.

Although he spoke this way, he didn't dare lower his guard in the slightest, gripping the Nether Blade tightly and preparing for battle at any moment.

The Strategist did not answer immediately.

Only after the violent wind had gradually subsided did the Strategist say, "Ximen Wudi, we grew up together. You know me very well, and I know you just as well. Do you think I would leave you any chance for a comeback?"

Ximen Wudi shook his head: "I have never underestimated you."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt his eyelid twitching more and more violently.

"What's going on? My eyelid won't stop twitching." Ximen Wudi touched his forehead, wiped away his sweat, and then said, "I'm going to the restroom."

After saying this, he ran straight into the restroom.

"Heh, truly vulnerable." The Strategist sneered mockingly, then stood by the window, looking down.

Under the night sky, a sedan was slowly driving past.

That was Lin Aoxue's car.

"This is the car sending you back to the country. I hope you are safe and sound," the Strategist muttered to herself.

…………

Lin Aoxue's palms were full of sweat.

This stretch of road was not far from where Ximen Wudi was located; at a normal speed, it was at least four or five kilometers, yet the car was consistently unable to pick up speed.

Through the car radio, Lin Aoxue had already heard Ximen Wudi's voice.

Her pretty face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with infinite tenderness and love.

"You must hang in there; I will always be behind you supporting you," Lin Aoxue said softly, her eyes revealing a gentle yet firm light.

"Miss, would you like to rest for a while?" The assistant noticed her employer's poor state and said quickly.

"I can't sleep, and I'm not tired," Lin Aoxue shook her head.

This girl was truly resilient, even beyond the imagination of many men.

"Miss, you've been working too hard lately; you need to rest," the assistant advised again.

"It's fine," Lin Aoxue smiled slightly and said, "My spirit is very good; I'm not tired at all."

Her eye sockets were red.

Because of worry, tears had long since moistened her eyes.

This girl always hid all her worries in her heart, not letting others know, and not letting herself suffer even the slightest grievance.

Lin Aoxue took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried hard not to let the tears slide out of her eyes.

She knew that when a woman cried, she would appear very haggard, and if that happened, her image in Ximen Wudi's heart would be even worse.

In this situation, Lin Aoxue absolutely could not cry.

However, this feeling of forbearance was truly too painful for the consistently stubborn Lin Aoxue.

This woman was never good at expressing her emotions, nor was she good at making decisions in her heart.

Therefore, this time, even though she understood that Ximen Wudi was in a dangerous situation, she chose not to speak up, chose to bear it silently, not asking for anyone's understanding, only wishing to accompany Ximen Wudi, never leaving his side.

"You must remember my words today." At this moment, the driver turned his head and gave Lin Aoxue a warning: "If Young Master Su encounters an attack on the way, please be sure to call the police in time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Okay, I will," Lin Aoxue said earnestly, "Please just drive, don't be distracted."

…………

And at this moment, a man sitting in the passenger seat took out his phone.

"Hey, Boss, Ximen Wudi has successfully lured Lin Aoxue out. I will kidnap her immediately and then hand her over to you," the man said in a low voice.

"Do not alert the enemy; I don't want any complications." The voice on the other end of the phone was gloomy and hoarse.

"Yes, I understand, there won't be any problems. Boss, we're making a killing this time; that idiot actually dared to snatch our goods, hehe." The man laughed, his smile full of ruthlessness.

"If you get the job done, there will naturally be a reward," the other end of the phone said, "I have already arranged an escape route for you."

"Okay, Boss, I will definitely get it done," the guy chuckled.

He hung up the phone, wiped his nose, and then pulled a rope from his waist.

A black cloth bag was taken off his shoulder.

"I said, this time, I want you dead, and no one can stop me." The man grinned, revealing cold white teeth.

Then, he looped the rope over the railing and threw it down.

…………

Ximen Wudi was washing his hands, his mind still thinking about the scene just now: "Strange, why did my eyelid suddenly twitch so violently?"

However, the next second, goosebumps stood up all over Ximen Wudi's body!

Because, in front of him, a tall and thin figure had already appeared!

This person was dressed very plainly, but their aura was sharp and murderous to the extreme, like a sharp precious sword; it seemed that with the slightest touch, it could shatter the surrounding air, and even the sunlight would be split in two.

"Why?" Ximen Wudi's voice carried a cold chill.

"I said, I want to tear it down and sell it for money," Zeus smiled, "Such a beautiful house, there should at least be a memento."

"You are insulting the cultural traditions of Atlantis," Ximen Wudi said coldly.

"I didn't do it on purpose," Zeus said, "You should understand, at the time, I was also forced into it."

"So, you had to tear down the entire city?" Ximen Wudi asked.

"Yes, it was a stupid move," Zeus shrugged and said bluntly.

"Do you still hold a grudge about what happened back then?" Ximen Wudi stared at Zeus.

"Of course I won't forget," Zeus said, "The mistakes made by your ancestors must be borne by us!"

"However, do not imagine that I will take the blame for you." Ximen Wudi's tone gradually turned icy.

"No, I think you are the best candidate, not just because you are stronger than me, but for another reason—" Zeus pointed to himself, "This is my territory."

While saying this, a sharp killing intent suddenly rose from Zeus's body!

"So, I advise you to give up that thought," Ximen Wudi said, "Because you cannot win against me."

"That line should be my line, right?" Zeus grinned, "After all, in your impression, I have always been the kind of person who can't afford to lose."

"Heh, are you testing me?" Ximen Wudi saw through Zeus's thoughts, "You want to know if I have really become stronger than back then, right?"

"Yes, I am curious," Zeus's gaze was piercing.

"Actually, it's nothing; the reason I was able to defeat you back then was because of luck."

"Your luck was good; it just so happened that my leg was injured," Zeus spread his hands.

"I am stating a fact." Ximen Wudi glanced at him indifferently, then turned toward the beach in front, "Alright, my patience has run out."

Then, Ximen Wudi took a step forward!

Zeus's pupils shrank slightly!

He could clearly feel a gust of wind rushing toward his face!

Ximen Wudi's speed had clearly accelerated many times over compared to the past!

Swish!

A sharp metal blade swept across from halfway!

Zeus crossed his arms to block, but even so, his arm was still scratched by Ximen Wudi!

Blood immediately seeped out, staining his white shirt red.

"This time it's your turn." After Ximen Wudi finished speaking, his right knee slammed fiercely toward Zeus's lower abdomen!
