Germaine's expression was extremely ugly, but he still maintained his composure. Sitting on the sofa, he unconsciously clenched his fists.
This was the first time he had encountered such a terrible situation in his decades of doing business. But it did not matter. He still had a trump card.
If he had met him at the beginning, he might not have planned this. Fortunately, the first Extraordinaire he met was not from the Hero Alliance.
"I really don't know how powerful the Hero Alliance is." Germain stood up and adjusted his tie.
"But my Germain Group is not as weak as you say."
He took a deep breath and snapped his fingers as he looked at Germain's disdainful sneer.
Snap.
A man in a black robe with a blood-red diamond embroidered on the back walked out from the corner of the hall slowly.
"It's a pleasure to meet the Hero Alliance's Grade B hero, Mr. Karl the Messenger." The man bowed to the red beard politely.
"Nice to meet you. You can call me Lantino."
"Lantino …" The red beard was disdainful at first, but he suddenly felt that the name was familiar. He searched his mind.
Then, his expression changed.
"How dare you collude with the Flesh and Blood Cthulhu Cult!!? Germain, you're crazy!! "He pointed at Germain, but his body took a step back.
Lantino, the fifth bishop of the Flesh and Blood Cthulhu Cult. He had planned 13 large-scale sacrificial ceremonies in Olan. He had successfully sacrificed and killed the Hero Alliance's team eight times.
There were even a few Grade A heroes who had died in his hands, let alone Grade B. In the Union, he was a top terrorist with a ferocious reputation.
Wasn't Germain afraid that he would be swallowed alive by such a vicious guy?!
The red-bearded Carl's expression was extremely ugly. However, he now represented the face of the Hero Association. Even if Lantino was very strong, his previous accomplishments had been obtained through schemes. No one knew how strong he was as a person.
Moreover, he was a Grade B hero who specialized in combat. He could hold on for a while and ask for reinforcements from the nearby branch through his communicator.
Fiona took a detour carefully and walked to the sofa. She sat with her mother, Ivanova. Her father, Germain, and Lantino, who had just appeared, stood in front of them.
Fiona carefully looked around and could vaguely see the worry on her father's face. And that Lantino wasn't as relaxed as he looked.
"Could it be that there are other variables?" Fiona was shocked.
His father would never fight a battle he wasn't confident in. Given the current situation, he definitely wouldn't give up without a fight.
And the Hero Alliance …
Just as the red-bearded Kara Er was about to retreat, a crisp applause came from a corner of the hall.
It was a tall, silver-haired woman wearing a gray windbreaker.
She had two daggers on her waist, one of her eyes was covered with a white patch, and there was a scar running diagonally from her nose to the corner of her mouth. She looked fierce and ferocious.
"The power of the Flesh and Blood Cthulhuism Society isn't sufficient in this area. Lantino, I don't deny that you are very strong, and I don't have the confidence to keep you here. However, there are so many people here. How many can you save? "The woman sneered.
"So, the Silver Star Swordsman is here too … It seems that you have also guessed that we are supporting the Germain Group?" Lantino said with a smile.
"Of course. As long as you aren't an idiot, you will definitely investigate where your logistics resources come from. The Germain Group has supported you with so much money and resources. If you don't send people to protect you, then you are the real idiots. "The silver-haired woman sneered.
"Since the Silver Star Swordsman is here, then your Silver Star Swordsman Team must be here too, right?" Lantino's smile stiffened.
"It's not just the Silver Star Swordsman Team. The Black Bell Knights, the Mountain Ridge Mission, and the nearby forces of the Hero Alliance are all here." The Silver Star Swordsman looked at Lantino with a tinge of pity.
With such a huge lineup, even the few Archbishops of the Flesh and Blood Cthulhuism Society might not be able to escape unscathed, much less a mere Lantino.
These cultists could summon all kinds of powerful monsters out of thin air. An Archbishop like Lantino could even summon two monsters that were comparable to B-Rank Heroes. If he only summoned one, it could become an A-Rank monster.
According to their investigation, the cost of summoning was just a little mental strength needed to guide the coordinates. They could recover after resting for half a day.
Therefore, almost all the encirclement heroes present were ambushing the monsters and the possible escape routes.
This was the first official encirclement of the Hero Alliance against the Church.
Bang. The window at the side of the hall was pulled open. A man in white tights was chasing after a woman. He gestured to everyone.
"Hey, I'm not late, am I?"
"Of course." The Silver Star Swordsman smiled.
"Sea Piercer Planet Pan Bo …" Another A-Rank Hero …
The smile on Lantino's face gradually disappeared.
"Looks like we haven't made enough preparations this time …" He turned to look behind him.
A maid who was guarding the corner walked out slowly. Her body transformed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a strange man whose entire body was red.
His name was Jayne. He was the second Archbishop of the Flesh and Blood Cthulhuism Society. His strength had already reached A-Rank.
Seeing this, Germain, Fiona, and the other two were hopeful. It looked like the Church had a backup plan.
However, after Jayne came out, he did not appear again.
With just the two of them, they had to face two A-Ranks from the Hero Alliance. Furthermore, they did not know when the reinforcements would arrive.
"God is dark. His darkness originates from the heart. He has absorbed the darkness in the hearts of countless believers …" At this moment, an orderly and high-pitched chant came from outside the manor.
Then, there was the crisp sound of swords and sabers clashing.
Gunshots were mixed in, but there were very few of them. Occasionally, screams and grunts could be heard.
"A hundred Holy Believers are standing behind us." Lantino placed his hand on his heart. "Now, it's no longer the era of your past … Hero Alliance …"
The Silver Star Swordsman's expression gradually turned cold. The man in white tights by the window, Sea Piercer Planet Pan Bo, also had an ugly expression. They knew very well what kind of existence the Holy Believers were.
However, unlike the battle outside, the atmosphere in the hall was getting more and more solemn, but no one really took action.
The Hero Alliance hoped to capture Germain and confiscate all the assets under his name to make up for the losses of the Alliance's businesses.
As for Lantino and the others, they were facing two famous A-Rank Heroes. They were not confident that they could protect Germain and retreat.
Their original plan was for one person to suppress the situation while the other arranged a path of retreat. They did not expect the Hero Alliance to send two A-Ranks. The most troublesome thing was …
Lantino glanced at the Silver Star Swordsman with extreme fear. This was not an ordinary A-Rank …
The atmosphere was in a stalemate.
Germain's forehead was covered in sweat, but his expression remained calm.
"You two from the Alliance, if there's no need, can you please step down this time? Our Germain Corporation has always been law-abiding and has never had a bad record. We also support the Hero Alliance. Why do you insist on killing us? "
"Germain, let me answer this question for you."
A new voice appeared in the hall.
A middle-aged man in a snow-white cloak walked slowly into the hall, accompanied by two guards.
"Another A-Rank …" Lantino's heart skipped a beat. He did not know what to say. Germain Corporation had actually attracted so many big shots from the Hero Alliance. A Rank was not something that could be easily encountered.
The entire Hero Alliance had a total of ten S-Ranks and over a hundred A-Ranks. There were only a few of them in a country. All of them were top-notch experts who managed a region. Although they were highly mobile, to gather three A-Ranks in such a short period of time meant that they had mobilized all the managers of the country, right?
"Germain, long time no see … Do you still remember me? Two years ago, I tried to ask you if you were willing to become a subordinate of the Hero Alliance. Unfortunately, you rejected me … "the middle-aged man said with a deep voice filled with regret.
"Sisay … So it's all because of you …" Germain's composure finally changed slightly.
From the moment this person appeared, he knew that there was no way he could have a good ending tonight …
"Hand over your assets and sign this contract, and the Alliance will let you live," the middle-aged man said calmly.
He extended his hand and unfolded an asset transfer contract with the most basic terms.
…
…
Lu Sheng drank a mouthful of milk coffee slowly and stuffed a biscuit into his mouth. The television was showing the live match of the national team in the World Cup.
He was watching it with great interest. When he was gritting his teeth, he could not help but ask one of the players to help him out.
He could not remember how many years it had been since he had been so relaxed. The main reason was that this world was too free. There was nothing to do once the seeds were thrown out. Now, all he had to do was wait for the time to automatically harvest the fruits.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
He sensed that a large number of Flesh and Blood Cthulhuism Society believers were gathering somewhere in the nearby city.
The energy reaction over there was getting stronger. Not only were there fluctuations from the Flesh and Blood Cthulhuism Society, but there were also other chaotic fluctuations, some strong and some weak.
"Hmm? What's going on? "Lu Sheng adjusted his mind slightly and quickly possessed one of the believers.
Instantly, the stalemate in Germain's manor was imprinted in his mind.
"Hmm? Interesting. Is the Hero Alliance planning to use this opportunity to use force against the Flesh and Blood Cthulhuism Society? "He saw through the current situation at a glance.
Unfortunately, they would never have thought that the Flesh and Blood Cthulhuism Society and the other three religions were in a symbiotic relationship. They were all members of the Galaxy Divinity Temple.
Lu Sheng could not be bothered to go to such a small scene. He directly sent the information to the other three religions' branches through hints.
At this stage, it was time to go head to head with the Hero Alliance. Otherwise, they would think that they were still the boss on this planet, and everything had to be decided by them.
After thinking for a while, Lu Sheng issued a series of oracle.
Instantly, the higher-ups of the four major religions began to move and gathered in the direction of the manor.
He always liked to bet everything when he played cards. If he lost, he would personally go into battle. Naturally, he would win.
Because he never played cards with people he could not beat …
