Chapter 92

The Temple of Myriad Gods—the Lord of the Hall!

What sort of existence was that? In the face of the Temple of Myriad Gods, let alone a single Mu family enterprise in the south, even if a hundred such enterprises were bound together, they would amount to nothing more than a tiny ant!

"No mistake! It must be him!"

While Mu Xue was still lost in shock, Mu Sihai suddenly spoke. "The Supreme Black Card exists in only seven copies worldwide. What does that mean?"

"The lords of the seven halls should each have one in hand!"

"Mr. Chu must be the lord of the Temple of Myriad Gods. His identity cannot be wrong!"

Mu Xue had already thought of this, which was precisely why she was so shaken.

The atmosphere sank into an indescribable deathly stillness, as though the air itself were filled with immense pressure, making it hard to breathe. No one had imagined that Chu Tianhe would possess such a background, and everyone was at a loss.

As the saying goes, to accompany a ruler is to accompany a tiger. Although Chu Tianhe had extended an olive branch to the Mu family, no one present was foolish; they all understood that for the Mu family, this was both an opportunity and a challenge.

After all, dealing with a figure of Chu Tianhe's stature was, for the Mu family, a trial no less harrowing than a battlefield of demons.

Win, and one could stand at the pinnacle of the world. Lose, and nothing but bones would remain.

"Ah Xue, can you... handle it?"

After a long while, Mu Sihai turned to Mu Xue and asked.

"Not sure." In the past, whenever Mu Sihai was unable to make up his mind, Mu Xue could always settle the matter with one decisive word. This gifted graduate of the financial world, this prodigy of the highest caliber, surpassed Mu Sihai by far in every respect.

But this time, Mu Xue truly had no confidence.

She could not see through Chu Tianhe, nor could she guess at him.

And now that she knew his identity, she felt even more constrained. If, back at the kindergarten, she had known who Chu Tianhe was, then no matter how bold she might have been, she would never have dared to invite him to the banquet the Mu family was hosting.

"Father, at this point, we can only take it one step at a time."

Mu Xue turned her head, her beautiful eyes meeting her father Mu Sihai's as she said, "Since Mr. Chu has already extended his olive branch, that means he has given our Mu family a chance. If we seize it, our family can soar to great heights."

"But if... we fail to seize it, or we handle things poorly and make Mr. Chu unhappy?" Mu Sihai turned to Mu Xue, his expression grave.

"I can only do my best." Mu Xue's brows were tightly knit as well. After much thought, this was the only answer she could give.

Then came another brief silence. Suddenly, Mu Xue lifted her head, the tension from before vanishing as her brilliant eyes swept over everyone.

"Mr. Chu's information and identity are not to be disclosed to anyone. Everything received today must be destroyed immediately. Nothing is to be kept."

"Yes!"

At Mu Xue's words, the technical staff of the southern Mu family hurriedly nodded and began deleting the data.

Meanwhile, at the Temple of Myriad Gods' base, Xia Na, her lovely eyes fixed on the computer screen, let a faint smile touch her lips. Watching the materials she had sent to the Mu family being deleted one by one, she finally murmured, "They even know to destroy the files and prevent any leak, keeping Brother Tian's identity hidden. This Mu family is at least somewhat sensible."
