My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1930: Sequence No. 3

"Since we’ve decided to go after the thirteenth Golden Bone, let’s first draft a comprehensive plan."

"Titan was right just now. The worst outcome is nothing more than having a direct confrontation with the Bright Church. However, if we can acquire the Golden Bone without a fight, that would be great."

Evil Eyes spoke slowly.

He was the calmest among the four at this moment.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I think the same way. If we can negotiate with the Saint Heir of the Bright Church to exchange for the Golden Bone, that would undoubtedly be the best outcome. After all, I don’t want to lead you to your deaths."

"Let’s first discuss the information on the Saint Heir."

"Long Qie, you called me here this time. You must have already gathered some information about the Saint Heir, right?"

Hearing his words, Long Qie grinned and said, "Indeed, Mr. Xiao, you know me best in this world. Before calling you, I had already gathered information on the Saint Heir."

"If I hadn’t prepared anything, I wouldn’t have dared to call you."

Hearing these few words of his, a slight smile appeared on the faces of Xiao Zheng and the other two.

"Alright, let’s get back on track," Long Qie then said seriously, "First, let me introduce the lucky person who obtained the Golden Bone. His name is Arthur Norris, and he’s a Saint Heir of the Bright Church."

"Although the position of a Saint Heir in the Bright Church is largely ceremonial, they wield considerable power. Anyone who becomes a Saint Heir is among the most talented young people in the Bright Church. This Arthur is such a genius."

"In addition to having great talent and strength himself, the Bright Church also assigns twelve Holy Temple Knights to protect the safety of each Saint Heir. The lowest cultivation level of these knights is the Martial Saint Realm."

"Which means, if we want to make a move on Arthur, we’ll be facing thirteen Martial Saint Realm experts at once."

After his explanation, Titan and Evil Eyes frowned.

Only Xiao Zheng remained calm, showing no signs of concern.

For when he was in the Southern Border, he had once single-handedly slaughtered all the Martial Saint Realm experts of the Demon God Sect, so Long Qie’s explanation seemed insignificant to him.

"Continue, I’m more interested in knowing where I can find him now," Xiao Zheng asked.

Hearing this, Long Qie took an envelope from under the table and pulled out a few photos from it: "These are photos of Arthur. He currently resides in Nodding City, which is his fief."

"Every Saint Heir of the Bright Church is granted a fief, similar to the ancient vassals of our country, competing for the position of Pope once they come of age."

"In other words, a Saint Heir is akin to an heir apparent?" Evil Eyes asked.

Long Qie nodded and said, "You could say that, because in the history of the Bright Church, every Pope has once held the title of Saint Heir. As for the failures, they can become elders and other high-ranking positions in the Church, all highly esteemed."

The group remained silent.

But there was a glint in Xiao Zheng’s eyes: "Nodding City, huh? It’s one of the rare megacities in Europe. It seems this Saint Heir’s ranking within the Bright Church is not low."

"Indeed, among our gathered information, he is one of the few Saint Heirs most likely to succeed as Pope," Long Qie continued, "There are a total of 26 Saint Heirs in the Bright Church, and he’s ranked third among them."

"Arthur is definitely going to be a formidable opponent."

"None of that concerns me. I just want to know how to locate and approach him," Xiao Zheng remarked.

Hearing this, Long Qie said, "Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to meet this Saint Heir. However, I have learned that in three days, the Bright Church will celebrate their annual Divine Birth Festival."

"It is said that on that day, they commemorate the birth of the Light God, and the entire Bright Church holds a celebration."

"If we arrive in Nodding City on that day, we are bound to meet him."

"I understand. I’ll set off in three days," Xiao Zheng said. "If I can’t strike a deal with him, then I’ll have to kill him."

As his words fell, a faint killing intent suddenly permeated the office.

Xiao Zheng seemed nonchalant, as if killing a Saint Heir ranked third within the Bright Church was no different from squashing an ant on the roadside.

Yet Long Qie detected a hint of underlying meaning in his words and couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Xiao, are you planning to go to Nodding City alone to find Arthur?"

After hearing this, both Titan and Evil Eyes couldn’t resist gazing at Xiao Zheng.

Feeling their gaze, Xiao Zheng didn’t hide his intentions and nodded, "Yes, that’s exactly what I plan to do."

Hearing this, Evil Eyes immediately retorted without thinking, "No way, you absolutely cannot go alone! The Bright Church is a different enemy than we’ve faced before! Going by yourself could be very dangerous!"

"If even I could be in danger, then wouldn’t taking you all with me mean certain death for you?" Xiao Zheng smiled and countered.

Upon hearing this, the three fell into silence.

Seeing them, Xiao Zheng then smiled and said, "Alright, I appreciate your concern. However, I’ve decided to set out alone in three days. After all, collecting the Golden Bone is ultimately my personal matter, and I have no reason to drag you all into this risk."

"But you are the Heavenly Net Master, if something happens to you in Europe..." Evil Eyes couldn’t bring himself to finish the sentence.

Even Titan couldn’t help but clench his fists.

But Xiao Zheng remained utterly unfazed, responding cheerfully, "I know what you’re worried about, but I still won’t change my mind. And you really don’t need to worry about me. Unless absolutely necessary, I won’t lay a hand on Arthur."

"Rest assured."

After speaking, he fell silent.

Seeing Xiao Zheng’s resolve, the three sighed and ceased their persuasion.

Then Long Qie said, "We’ll do as you’ve decided, Mr. Xiao. The day after tomorrow, I’ll arrange for your flight to Nodding City. It’ll be good to arrive a day early for preparation."

"Besides, what should we do about Miss Leng?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng replied, "I’m not planning to tell her about this. She’s expecting, and I don’t want her to worry. Anyway, I’m confident I can return safely. If she asks, just say I went to Europe on a business trip."

"As for the specifics, just come up with any excuse."

After hearing this, although Long Qie wanted to say more, he eventually nodded in agreement.
