Chapter 1985: Chapter 1985: Discussion
"Don’t mess around, we still have important business to take care of today."
Xiao Zheng quickly spoke up, then put some distance between himself and Catherine.
He was worried now, worried that Catherine would try to force herself on him.
Seeing this, Catherine couldn’t help but pout and said with a humph, "Coward, I know you only dare to act tough with your mouth. I look down on you, from the top of your head all the way to your toes!"
Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes again: "I can’t be bothered to explain to you. If you don’t want to sleep, then hurry up and get ready. Today, we might be heading straight for the Holy Land of the Church."
With those words, Catherine suddenly grew interested, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes as she asked, "Really? Are we finally going to have the final battle with the Bright Church?"
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "By my calculations, the day of the final showdown is almost here. However, I need to first discuss this with Hades, as the main force attacking the Holy Land this time is still the Blood Clan."
After all, with the sheer number of the Blood Clan, their role is indispensable in taking down the Holy Land of the Church.
"You go and gather with Long Qie and the others in a bit, I’ll head off first," Xiao Zheng said, "If we confirm that we’re departing today, I’ll come back to get you all."
With that said, he was ready to turn around and leave.
Catherine couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him and said, "You’re really not romantic. We at least shared the same bed last night, and now you just want to ignore that?"
"Even if you’re leaving, at the very least you should give me a kiss, right?"
Damn!
This enchanting little demon!
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "Alright, you win. I’ll owe you that kiss for now. As long as we can get rid of the Bright Church, I’ll repay you then. By the way, make sure to dress properly when you leave, your bra is showing."
Catherine looked down, and then coquettishly said, "It’s fine, I bought it just to show you anyway."
Feeling her flirtatious effort, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but shiver again, and without any hesitation, he immediately opened the door and left the room.
After leaving the hotel, he flew straight into the sky.
A minute later, Xiao Zheng descended upon the Netherworld King Temple.
For the past two days, Hades had been staying in the temple, not participating in any celebrations. Even when Xiao Zheng personally invited her, she didn’t agree. Clearly, she wasn’t used to bustling environments.
"Good morning."
As soon as Xiao Zheng walked into the temple, he greeted Hades.
Hades softly nodded in response to him.
Used to her lack of expressiveness, Xiao Zheng found nothing wrong with it, and with a smile, he asked, "Have you had breakfast yet? If not, mind if I join you for a meal?"
"Yesterday I was too busy drinking, didn’t even eat. I’m starving now."
Upon hearing this, Hades had a smile flash deeply in her eyes and then said, "I’ve already eaten, but if you haven’t, I can have someone prepare something for you." freёweɓnovel.com
"Great, have them bring the breakfast here, I have something to discuss with you, we can talk while eating," Xiao Zheng said.
Soon, a sumptuous breakfast was brought before him.
Xiao Zheng took a bite of a croissant and then spoke with a mouthful, "It’s already been two days since we last took action. So, tell me, what’s your plan next?"
"What about you?" Hades replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng didn’t hide his thoughts and said, "Of course, I want to resolve the trouble of the Bright Church as soon as possible. Ideally, I’d like to kill Charles directly."
At this point, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
Actually, what Xiao Zheng was most concerned about wasn’t Charles’s head.
He still recalled Eric telling him in Saint Sochiya there’s at least five pieces of Golden Bone stored in the Holy Land of the Church. At least five pieces!
If they could take down the Holy Land of the Church, it means Xiao Zheng could get at least five more pieces of Golden Bone!
To him, that’s an irresistible temptation!
Hearing this, Hades glanced at him and happened to catch the momentary greed in his eyes, then said, "If you’re in such a hurry, we can set out at any time."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s eyes lit up: "Really? Are you sure you can be ready to set out at any time? With such short time, can you manage to contact the others?"
"Yes," Hades said firmly.
Hearing her say so, Xiao Zheng felt much more relieved: "That’s good, but since it’s almost noon and the day is half over, there’s no need to rush setting out today."
"You can gather your people first, and we’ll depart tomorrow."
Knowing there were no issues on Hades’ side, he actually became the least anxious person.
Hades naturally wouldn’t oppose his decision and gave a gentle nod.
Then, the two began to chat idly, though it was mainly Xiao Zheng doing the talking while Hades listened. And so, the breakfast was spent in this leisurely time.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Zheng stayed a bit longer to chat with her.
It wasn’t until close to noon that he left the temple and returned to Song City.
Upon returning to the hotel, Long Qie and the others were just preparing to head to the restaurant for lunch.
Seeing Xiao Zheng, Long Qie and the others all greeted him. As for Catherine, she ignored Xiao Zheng, even rolling her eyes continuously at him from the crowd.
Seeing this, a hint of helplessness appeared on Xiao Zheng’s face. After sighing, he said, "Since we’re all here, there’s something I want to tell you."
"I just met with Hades and we’ve made an agreement."
"She’ll gather everyone from the Blood Clan today, and tomorrow morning, we’ll set out for the Holy Land of the Church!"
Upon hearing his final words, everyone’s expressions became serious.
Long Qie’s eyes gleamed, and he said, "Is the final battle finally upon us? To be honest, I’m quite looking forward to it. I wonder if Pope Charles is as formidable as the rumors say!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Pope Charles’ strength is undoubtedly formidable. On this point, I must remind you all in advance. Although Charles is definitely not my match now, you must still be careful in tomorrow’s action."
"If anything unexpected happens, I’m worried even I can’t protect you. Remember that?"
These words weren’t spoken to create panic.
After all, Charles is a peak Supreme Realm powerhouse, and fighting someone of that level requires utmost caution and prudence!
