Chapter 1918 - 1891: I Want to Go Back

"You?"

Upon hearing Avril’s words, Lu Tianxing frowned slightly. "Are you saying that my brothers will also be in trouble?"

"Don’t worry, they’ll definitely face trouble. But as for whether there will be any danger, that I don’t know."

"What did you say?"

Hearing Avril’s words, Lu Tianxing’s expression changed abruptly, and he stopped suddenly. "No, I can’t leave now. I have to find them. I promised to bring them back alive to China. I can’t break my word."

"Judge, do you know what you’re facing right now? If you dare go, you might end up dead today."

Avril said heavily, "I’ve taken a great risk to come inform you. If you go back, my efforts will be in vain."

"Then you just take Angel and leave."

Lu Tianxing said solemnly, "Avril, I appreciate your kindness, but there are some things I have to do. There’s no way I can avoid them. Do you understand?"

"Lu Tianxing, you..."

Avril felt a spark of anger rising within her upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words.

Initially, when Avril learned that Nelson was leading people to the Redemption Church, she hesitated about whether to tell Lu Tianxing about it.

Avril wanted Lu Tianxing dead; that desire never changed. First, because Lu Tianxing had taken her body by force, and then did so again in an overbearing manner while in Beijing. In her heart, she wanted to tear him to pieces, using his blood to wash away her shame. However, no matter what, Lu Tianxing was her first man and the only one in this world who could help her take revenge. She didn’t want him to die, leaving her deeply conflicted.

Avril struggled for a long time before deciding to risk informing Lu Tianxing. She didn’t want him to die. Even if he were to die, it should be only after avenging her, by her own hand.

So, Avril risked her life to inform Lu Tianxing. But now Lu Tianxing chose to go back to find his brothers, which was almost no different from seeking death.

Originally, it was a near-death situation, and if Lu Tianxing dared to go back to find his brothers, it would certainly be a situation with no hope of survival. No matter how strong or terrifying he was, Lu Tianxing was still a martial artist at the middle-stage mythical level. Could he defeat Nelson, who was at the late stage of mythical level and had the Berserk ability?

The answer was obvious, he couldn’t.

Should Lu Tianxing encounter Nelson, he would surely die.

If Lu Tianxing died, then her risk in coming to inform him tonight would be meaningless.

"Avril, I appreciate your kindness."

Lu Tianxing looked at Avril and said seriously, "Some things I can choose not to do, but some things I must do. I, Lu Tianxing, have reached this point because of my brothers’ help. Without them, I would have become a pile of dirt long ago. You should remember the things I went through back then — if it weren’t for them saving me at the cost of their lives, I’d already be dead. In my eyes, they are not just members of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, they are my brothers, to whom I can entrust my life and death. Do you understand?"

"Originally, they had legitimate identities in China and could start a new life. But for me, they willingly gave up the new life they could have started and chose to adventure with me, moving from Japan to Eagle Country. Do you know why? Because we are brothers. We live together, and we die together. I will never abandon my brothers and run for my life alone. They came to Eagle Country for me, and fought for me, so I should bring them back, whole and unharmed."

Lu Tianxing paused, looked at Avril, took a deep breath, and said, "Avril, regardless of whether I can leave alive today, consider that I owe you a favor. If by chance I do survive, I will owe you my life."

Listening to Lu Tianxing’s powerful words, Avril instinctively wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Lu Tianxing’s voice reached her ears again, "Avril, I have one last request. On account of being your first man, help me one last time..."

Upon hearing the words "first man," a blaze of anger flared in Avril’s eyes. "You..."

"Avril, I know your people from the Church will also take action. I don’t expect you to leave with them. All I hope is that if your people encounter them, they might give them one chance and let them escape."

Interrupting Avril, Lu Tianxing pleaded, "I hope you can agree."

Looking into Lu Tianxing’s pleading eyes, Avril felt a slight tremor in her heart. She had never seen this man show such an expression before. A soft spot, deep within her heart, seemed to be touched, causing her emotions to ripple and making it difficult for her to calm down.

"You’re... really planning to go back?"

Avril’s voice carried a tremor she herself did not notice.

"Yes, I must go back for them."

"Alright! I can promise you, the Church can give them leeway, but whether they can break through other encirclements depends on fate."

Ultimately, Avril did not refuse Lu Tianxing. "However, I still advise you not to go back. Otherwise, not only will you die, but they will also die."

Lu Tianxing smiled slightly. "Avril, when have you ever seen me fight a battle without confidence? The fact that I’m daring to go back means I’m confident. You don’t have to worry about me, and besides, haven’t you said it yourself? They’re targeting me. At that time, I can lead them away."

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, both Avril and Angel involuntarily trembled slightly. They never expected Lu Tianxing to say such words, using himself as bait to trade for his brothers’ lives.

After all, Lu Tianxing was everyone’s target this time. Everyone was coming for him, wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible. If Lu Tianxing dared to show himself, he would definitely be the focus of all attacks, which meant a guaranteed death.

After all, Lu Tianxing had already demonstrated his strength fully in Japan last time. No force would dare to underestimate him anymore. Therefore, those who came to Eagle Country to kill Lu Tianxing this time would certainly be the elites among the major forces. For Lu Tianxing to survive in such a situation, the chances were almost zero.

Or rather, as long as Lu Tianxing dared to act as bait, it was a path of certain death, with no hope of survival.
