Chapter 53: Direct Confrontation

As the fighter jet entered the territory of the human clan, two lines of text appeared on the screen in front of Situ Mu's cockpit.

[Detected that the advanced system is acquiring your location information. Would you like to enable location tracking immediately?]

Situ Mu looked at the two lines of text and smiled to himself. The smile was self-contained, but it lacked warmth.

Then, he clicked on "enable."

Since his location would inevitably be traced by those people, there was no point in futile resistance. It was better to face it head-on.

Seeing those lines of text, Daisy understood the situation. Though her aura turned chilly, she wore a smile on her face, gently touching her lower lip, "What's wrong? The humans don't plan to let you go?"

"Whether they let me go or not is not up to them," Situ Mu's tone remained elegant and indifferent. His expression, however, showed no ripples, and his demeanor added a touch of indifference.

With that said, he had already landed the fighter jet on the beach. Opening the cockpit door, the safety belt retracted automatically. He and Daisy disembarked from opposite sides.

Once they were outside, the cockpit door closed.

At this moment, the horizon had yet to reveal any light, and the crystal-clear sand wasn't scorching under the sunlight. It remained soft and comfortable to tread upon.

The sea breeze brushed against Daisy's red chiffon dress, lifting her silver hair. Kicking off her high heels, she held hands with Situ Mu, walking along the beach, facing the direction where the sun would soon rise.

The sun was about to emerge, and the vampire couple strolled towards the sea, with waves occasionally kissing Daisy's fair feet.

"Umm..." Daisy looked around, earnestly assessed the situation, and suddenly smiled, "Perfect, they don't need to attack the vampire clan to seize you. We can resolve it right here."

"This area of the human clan has a sparse population. When we fight later, not many people will die. It's a suitable place for a big battle."

Speaking of which, Daisy looked at Situ Mu's bright side profile under the dim light and sighed, "Tsk, love is indeed a calamity."

Hearing her words, Situ Mu couldn't help but feel a bit amused. He said, "What are you thinking? I don't want you to fight them for my sake."

Daisy raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure they will spare you without a fight?"

"They won't," Situ Mu was quite certain about this answer. "My brain has recorded too many important secrets of the human clan. They absolutely won't allow me to have any involvement with other races."

"You actually don't think they want to keep you because of your outstanding abilities. You're underestimating yourself too much," Daisy teased.

In fact, from the moment she heard his name, she knew what kind of person he was. Jokingly, Situ Mu, the greatest scientist in the human world, even three-year-olds knew about him!

However, if he were a normal person, logically, he should have died long ago. To prevent the exposure of his information, his data had been encrypted layer by layer. Therefore, information about him after the age of forty was completely inaccessible to ordinary people.

Daisy would never allow herself to be in the dark about the people around her, so she thoroughly investigated his identity later. The more she investigated, the more she felt that the human clan couldn't resist launching an attack on the vampire clan.

Amused by her banter, Situ Mu smiled and said, "I'm just telling the truth."

"What do you plan to do, then?" Daisy asked.

"Feign death," he said concisely. The human clan would never allow him to live and associate with other races.

However, Daisy frowned, finding it troublesome and foreseeing potential risks. Feigning death might keep them apart for some time. She wouldn't allow any possibility of being separated from him in their final moments.

So, she stubbornly declared, "No, I don't care. I want to confront them."

"After all, there's nothing that a good fight can't resolve. If needed, we can have two fights."

"But they have many weapons specifically designed to deal with advanced vampires," Situ Mu, in an unusual serious tone, warned her.

He regretted developing those weapons. Who would have thought that he would have a loved one in the future, and those weapons would be used against his beloved?

It was beyond unexpected.

"So what? I'm not afraid," Daisy said nonchalantly, her queenly pride emanating from her bones.

Situ Mu looked at her, his gaze gradually softening. "But I can't let you get hurt."

However, Daisy remained adamant, saying, "After you feign death, our relationship won't see the light of day, will it? I don't want that. I want to be with you openly and let everyone know about our relationship."

"Is that so?" Situ Mu pondered, then nodded seriously, as if making a promise. "Alright."

"But I also don't want you to bear a bad reputation," Daisy suddenly turned to him, her expression surprisingly serious, as if afraid that this person with an abnormal brain might do something disgraceful.

"Alright," Situ Mu smiled gently at her.

At this moment, the eastern sky had revealed a faint golden hue, casting a radiant glow across the sky that gradually intensified.

The fiery sun slowly emerged on the horizon, climbing upward with all its might. At the moment it leaped out of the sea, the vast expanse of water was bathed in a beautiful and magnificent golden light.

Daisy and Situ Mu stood in the gentle waves before sunrise. She held his neck, and they kissed passionately.

Calculating the time, Situ Mu eventually released her, and the warm breath reached her ear. He whispered, "They're coming soon."

"You get into the fighter jet. I'll deal with them," Daisy suggested.

Situ Mu frowned, thought for a moment, and still decided, "No."

"You just agreed to me," Daisy also turned serious.

"I am a man. How can I hide behind you like a coward? I can't be a shrinking turtle," Situ Mu's brows furrowed even more deeply.

"Can you defuse a bomb or smash a fighter jet with your bare hands? You'll just be a burden to me outside. It's better to use the fighter jet to fight them," Daisy expressed her disdain.

"Who comes up and starts fighting?" Situ Mu was speechless. The human clan's leadership wasn't crazy, would they start shelling the moment they arrived? Clearly, he could communicate with them properly, but Daisy always thought about fighting.

"Anyway, it's inevitable that we'll fight. Whether sooner or later, we'll fight. Why not fight sooner?"
